OT:GT4 again

In news: snipped-for-privacy@individual.net, JackH decided to enlighten our sheltered souls with a rant as follows

Problem sorted anyway.

I took the chance and bought GT4 cos it's only £29.70ish in ASDA, brought it home and it works although I'm still at spacker level as I've only driven round one circuit so far.

Seems good though, but I'll have to turn the bloody traction control down.

Yea, try ronnys S4 challenge on GT4speed.com with and without the TC. I found the TC so restrictive i was a full 4 seconds a lap quicker without it...

It was fine on one of the originals.

It's £30 in most places!

Yes, it is _seriously_ annoying!

Hows that work then?

I was reading a few less than favourable reviews from folks who've tried using them. Does it need any other software to use one? Some of the stuff I was reading ppl talked about needing action replay and or other similar software. Sounds like a few ppl had managed to trash their saved games, damage mem cards etc. trying to use a USB pen drive (probably numpties but still). I'm going to borrow one off my mate and give it a go, i bought a new mem card with gt4 so i'll send it back if it screws up.

The Action replay Max drive USB pen doesn't work for me in Photo mode, thankfully my Creative Zen Micro MP3 player dose the job nicely, then just upload them to Ronny's site.

I see someone else has a Lotus Carlton. I may have to put a couple of shots of my one up.

Oh Ronny any chance of upping the disk quotas?

I'm almost tempted to get one of those at the moment...

Ah, I've not got a Lotus Carlton..

.. but I have got a Volvo 240GLT Estate, which I've spent far too much time and money on.

Can't get it round the Nurburgring in less than 8:40 though :-(

Ah, the Volvo...

Change the diff to 3.30:1 ish, turbo it, then lower it to 150mm all round, stiffen up the shocks to around 7 and fit a 1.5 way LSD to it..

Actually handles quite well really, perfect for practicing the Nurburgring in.

Goes well around little twisty circuits, amusingly enough.

Oops, I meant stiffen the springs to around 7, just stiffen the shocks a little bit, leave the ARB's on 4.

I love the way, on stock suspension, with racing brakes, when you make a big stop, the front end bottoms out and sparks go everywhere :D

I just got 161.99mph out of mine. Thats all you'll see from the stock 'box.
