The winter tires/wheels are on, tire pressures adjusted, fluid levels topped off. I guess that means that it won't snow until February. The handling is completely different than with the summer tires. I need to be really careful on the on ramps.

Seeing as I'm about to list my winter tires for sale as part of moving prep, I hope you're right!

I'm sure it probably is, too, but we haven't been there in the last couple of days to find out. Dirt 3 is a little too good on it.

Finally got to mess around with GT5 last night. Bought the MR2. Here's a pic of what I'm looking at on the BIG screen.

I have the Z3 M coupe now, souped up with full racing exhaust and intake with race tires and sport suspension. killin it

bought it used with 43,000 km on it. probly needs an engine rebuild here soon

arrutled · 12-06-2010, 07:30 AM

finally got the shocks out of full stiff. had to take some 7/16 hexagonal bar stock and cut a notch in it and put that into a socket to adjust. I wonder if anyone at dinan ever bothered to adjust their front shocks, cause its basically impossible with the white thingy. And they call themselves engineers, ha

Well I already cashed in on the warranty with the shock and they technically paid me for my camber plates after I won my dispute through bank of america.

damn was i confused for about 30 seconds there! if you wrote miles instead of KMs i'd have gone on the For Sale section looking for your car

Does GT5 have realistic interior views from behind the steering wheel?.

Only the 200 premium cars have interior views. and each car is authentic although not very detailed. my aston martin DB9 has a seemingly luxurious interior. I try to keep my eyes on the road though.
