[Mahmood07]

hey guys how do i join? my screen name is interawy07

[LiM3y]

Okay - sending out friend requests on GT5 later today.

[lucid]

spec E92 M3 racing at its finest!

i'm in...

p.s. what's up with the random fishtailing on force feedback? i am wondering if there is something wrong with my wheel? cars kind of start fish tailing even when driving straight and steady if i don't correct for it. anyone else with this issue (it's not a suspension setting problem as it happens on pretty much any stock car)...

[Jaypod]

Looks like I will have to get back to this game (but I do have an M3!). I am out of town until next week though. My username is the same as here.

Lucid, A friend of mine lent me a logitech wheel a couple of years to try with GT4, I had the same problem you describe, sounds like it is the wheel. I just bought a wheel for myself a little while ago and do not have any problems at all.

That sucks. It works very well with F1 2010, so I must assume it is not compatible with GT5. I will need to turn force feedback off because it is very annoying. The thing is it's logitech's newest wheel. G27. Oh well...

I need to go buy a E92 M3.

Have you guys decided on specs?

get rid of the logitec toys and get yourselves some fanatek goodies.

that's serious stuff and is as close as you can get to the real thing

I'll get going on this. I was having an F1 2010 sess last night.

I am thinking stock engine, soft racing tires and non-adjustable suspension upgrade - for two reasons... a) it is about virtual driving, not who can set the car up best and b) I am no where near being able to set up the fully adjustable suspension anyway! LOL

I don't think there is anything wrong with the hardware/wheel. I am happy with it. Doesn't sound like GT5 is interfacing with it properly.

I read this another forum on a GT5 related thread, and thought it was pretty funny. The guy who posted it is legit:

"This discussion reminds me of a situation at Lime Rock a few years ago. A licensed driver who had never been there before took me for a ride in his heavy but fast street car. After a few laps, I suggested that he might want to get into the habit of tapping the brakes a bit just before turning in for the uphill. He said “I’ve got thousands of laps logged here in GT (or iracing, or Forza, I don’t remember which it was) and I turn 1:02s and I don’t use brakes there.”
I told him good luck as I got out of the car. A few hours later he landed on his roof, just at the entrance to the uphill."

I would like to

[LiM3y]

Folks - I sent out friend requests just now. There are 5 of us so far. We'll see if we can get a few more. Just post here or friend me on PS3

We need to agree a spec, so offer suggestions. I think we should run fairly close to GT5 stock to start and then agree changes as we go. Thoughts?

Cheers

Sounds good - I will have to catch up to you guys when I get back from vacation!

I am loving my Fanatec wheel!

I wish I had seen that before I got my GT5 wheel! That looks the nuts!

Here we go - I was thinking about 'straightforward' mods discussed on the forum:

Everything standard, except:

Intake: Racing Air Filter
Exhaust: Ti Racing Exhaust (we all have 10K for an exhaust right???)
Exhaust: Sports Catalytic Converter
Clutch: Twin Plate (the stock manual has dual plates)
Suspension: Non adjustable sports kit
Tires: Sports Soft
Engine: ECU Stage 1

Does this make sense?

No cheating - don't be a douche!

I need to win a couple of races to get the dough for the missing bits.

I think the height adjustable sports kit allows for some minor camber, damper and spring adjustment as well. Maybe it is best to leave suspension stock or at the non-adjustable sports kit level?

I don't care too much about powertrain mods. I'll go with whatever you guys decide. But I think the bolt-on power gains are somewhat over the top...

I just picked up GT 5 for my PS3 and would love to join in the fun. Send me the details.

Thanks

I can send some M3s to fellow posters. To get this thing started quickly. Of course, I don't like driving the M3 in GT5, its too slow and heavy even after being modded to the max.

This gives ~467HP, but if we all have the same car, it shouldn't matter.

Any rim style you like. I have the first BBS ones on the list, painted a nice red! LOL
