good choice the RX7 is very good in this configuration but if you buy tyres you will have to buy a new suspension

I will, I just don't know the cost of anything yet. My guess is that I can afford the tires and weight reduction. The suspension would most likely be the third mod due to its price. The big mistake everyone makes is getting too much power at first that can't even be used because the car is too heavy and the wheels can't grip.

Good, so let me continue. I picked up the game at about 8:30 p.m., knocked off the first 2 licenses (didn't go for all golds or anything, wanted to play) and bought myself an RX-7. Now I'm saving up for performance parts. (They're pretty expensive.) :o

I always thought it would be about that many USD but i guess with a 4000+ MHz processor thats a little cheap :p. Doesnt matter to me, its worth it. Im not gonns buy a PS2 4 years after release just so I can play GT4, thats rediculas.

I got GT4 last night; incredible game. They got rid of almost all the serious faults of GT3, plus a crapload of nice cars. My first was... Well, a stock MR2. I used my GT3 data, though... Modded it out and went to the Special events. raced that second rally through that seaside town against the Lancia. Kicked his ass and got this Toyota Motor Rally Raid thingy. I then did the one little rally in Paris (in the wet) and got the Alpine A310, and won all my money back. I then modified it and took it through the Alpine special event, won it, and got the A110 :D

I sold the A310, modded up the MR2 some more, and got myself a shiny new VW GTI mk. 5. Drove it around Suzuka full, and realized how awesome this game is.

GT4 pwns me... good thing I've got a full weekend ahead of doing nothing.

how is it that you can credit the $$$ from GT3 onto GT4? can some one explain please............ how does it work and how do you do it? Does it just register that you have a GT3 file and ask if you want to credit 100K to your account?

I'm sure game-designers take into account the processors of the diff. consoles when designing games to prevent lag.

They say that the basic design would let todays technology put it above 4GHz, which obviously would insert them into the CPU "game". I think it is going to be very interesting (unless IBM keeps it to only their and Toshiba's PCs :mad: ). After all, Intel and AMD have already annihilated everybody else that tried to get in their way for the un-branded market. But IBM and Sony have been chatting and i think they have decided to build a slower one because if you put a 4GHz CPU in a game consel, its going to cost WAY to much. On top of that, theres no way in hell that every game studio is going to skip 2 years of tech to make games for a "super-consel", its all about money.


BTW: I just heard that once the new systems come out, Square Enix (maker of FF) is going to make games EXCLUSIVELY for Microsoft. One more lost to the highest bidder.

So he bought a vorcette and liked it performance wise he says the graphics are unbelievable. you guys do not know how much I want that game, all i have is a piece of !*$% gamecube.

What are you talking about? I put the hood down on a shelby cobra when I was doing a, "quick tune-up". It was on the same screen with the tire selection and the transmission selection. Maybe I'm wrong, I'll go check. And besides, there's always the racecars with no top at all. :confused:

Man though, I really suck at this game. I have got to be one of the worst players ever! :rolleyes:

EDIT: Yeah, I just checked. There should be an option called, "closed top". You can chose convertible or closed top from there.

You can. At least in the american version. Same place where they have your tire choice and transmission choice. If you click on a car and decide it's color in arcade mode you'll find this menu. It's also called a "quick tune-up".

I started with a VW Lupo(from License Center), lol. I never spend my 10,000 and 100,000 from GT3. So I sold a couple car won from the License Center and started out with my NSX-R(first car I driven in GT4 except for the ones in License Center) bought for around 119,000. Then I ended up having a Gran Turismo Formula '04 today. I can do a lap under 57 seconds in Tsukuba if you give me a stock NSX-R and Racing Medium tires.

Mine was an 89 skyline GTS-T or something like that. about 7500. Spend the remaining plus the amount I got from selling the lupo on an exhaust and chip I think. Only been playing a few hours, just finished off the Turbo cup races. Has anyone else noticed that the Mazda 6 MPS concept has no transmission layout? When I won it I thought it would be useful for either the FF or 4WD cups, since I didn't have a car for the job. Then I found you can't actually enter any of them. FF, FR, MR or 4WD.

just put 20 bucks under what you want for it and have a "buy now" for like 120 bucks over what youd expect. Only offer bank deposit as your payment option and dont send it till you get the money, the buyer is by far at more risk of being ripped off then the seller.

OK, so recently my memory card erased all my GT4 save files. I had to start aaaalll over.

I bought a BMW M Coupe off the used lot, and laughed myself silly at how easy it is to win the Sunday cup. All my video game time has recently gone to Resident Evil 4 as of late, so GT4 has taken a backseat for now.

On that note, playing through RE4 again with all the mad-house weapons I had by the end of the first time through makes things rather easy. El Gigante fell after only six rounds from a Killer7, and I sniped everyone into dust at the beginning of the game. It's so awesome, I can save and make money by not having to buy new weapons or other supplies, because I already have them, and they already overpower the enemy by a long shot! Anyone with a Gamecube and any interest in any game besides Racing should play this.

Yeah its quite an improvement over 290kw, 520nm and 1825kg thats for sure. Im surprised how much a set of very hard slicks makes the car handle better compared to the normal sports tyre

i havent seen a 22B in the game yet though, i'd assume its either a late 90's used car or its as one of Subaru's legendary cars, i havent gone looking yet.

03-15-2005, 11:05 AM
I've got a 22B. I must say it is the best Impreza in the game IMO. I bought it around the 400 day mark for about £20-£25k.

I then took a picture of it doing a massive bloody burnout.

I am now the proud owner of a Volvo Estate. Ride height at front at max, ride height at rear, minimum. Camber angles set so the cars wheels are at a 45 degree angle. Fitted a wing and some stupid used wheels. Pure comedy to drive.

I got a Delorean!

...Surprisingly, it's great to drive. Very tractable, doesn't burnout even with Traction Control turned off. Difficult to spin, too. I have yet to race it, but I'm thoroughly impressed by how it drives... it's not fun to take it to gymkhana, though. I'd have to heavily mod it to make the tires break out.

Lol, I still remember when I bought the Honda NSX-R right after selling some cars from License Center+100,000 from GT3. That really is the fastest car under 300 horses. Surprisingly, the Lotus Elise 111R managed to keep up with me a little in the middle of one of my first races, but then it disappeared in the mirror. So, as a result, my second car is a Lotus Elise 111R!!! Lol. :)

I got a Toyota MR2 as my first car, it has fiarly good handling but not much power. I got my A license and won a Sonfire concept, I used the sunfire for untill I got a decent car. When I was finished with it, I think it ended up with 250 hp or something. Now I have a Pagani Zonda C12 7.3 with 1033 horsepower. Not to brag but it's bloody amazing!

I got the game yesterday afternoon, uploaed the 100,000 and jumped straight into an FPV GT in Mandarin :p last night i got it up to 439kw, 900nm and 1510kg

Thats Power!! Can you modify it even more or is that as far as it will go?

I thought they did the sounds pretty bad though, it sounds much better in real life.

The GT uses Dunlops, not renknowned for their grip, so I can imagine a new set of tyres would have made a big improvement. So would a lighter flywheel ;)

After i done those specs i think i removed the supercharger and wacked on the stage 3 NA to do the NA championship, fairly easily mind you. If it was an Australian game it'd be heaps different, but you gotta deal with the little screwups theyve made.

As for the exhaust, i dunno about yours but until ive heard a GT pushed out to 620-650hp without a blower and a racing exhaust, im not gunna comment on how it compares to the real thing.

The tyres you buy the car with, the sports tyres are better than stock anyway as theyre basically semi-slicks, if you want realism, buy a set of the Normal tyres, theyre free anyway and you can get all 3 sets for nothing. The car's behaviour really changes with the slicks though

Mine was tuned to 230bhp, and weighted as little as 413kg. At the Mulsanne straight (the version without chicanes) I got it up to 300km/h (186mph)... Imagine braking from there... I had to strart braking at least 1km before the corner arrived :eek: Though it has to be said that well driven it was giant killer.

I bought a Toyta MR2 as my first car. I didn't like it much, after I got a car from one of the licenses I just tuned it and used it till I got something fast. The beginning of the game is real boring, when you get into some good cars it gets pretty fun.:)

I'm going to bump this thread and mention the three cars I got recently: A Lotus Carlton (wtf?? /my canadian ass has never heard of a Lotus sedan\), a Lancia Stratos (hurray!), and a Honda S800 RSC Race Car.

the Stratos in close to stock form owns it up already, but this S800 thingy... dear god! It goes around corners like they don't exist! It sounds like a bee and has absolutely no grunt at all, though. The Carlton came with almost 400 Horse, which I was quite surprised and happy with. I might make it into a top-speed monster.

I will go for the Alpine A110 and Mk. 1 VW GTI next, along with killing off the beginner and professional races. Yes I'm slow, shut up.

The Carlton was originally a Vauxhall Carlton, do a quick google search if you really want to see one.
Lotus made an extreme version and was the fastest sedan for a while until the 400bhp M5 came along. Still an extremely quick car. ;)

Nope, pretty sure the 400 bhp M5 was about 0.4 seconds faster to 60 and about 0.2 seconds faster to 100...still not bad at all for a 1989 car ;)

I had saved shit from GT3 so they let me start off GT4 with 100,000 more credits on that 10,000. so i went off and bought a used '99 Skyline GTR and hooked that shit up. gave it maybe 420 hp and started on the Professional Events early.

at the moment im racing in the higher class races in the pro leagues, as well as the manufacturors races. the subaru races are really worth doing, you get a JGTC '02 STI, and with 90 extra grand you get 716 KW.

four of my cars are over 700KW, and many close to it :D
