Pretty much as the title says I'm after a standard fg leopard exhaust manifold. Thanks
-
Sounds interesting. What sort of times are people doing on Silverstone nat out of interest?
-
I thought we established torque isn't the same as power while we are pointing out mistakes......
-
If you go on the leaderboards and go to 'friends' and press a you can go on race ghost. It will give you the ghost of that friends fastest lap in that car class on that track.

I use a steering wheel if I can be bothered to get it out, mine is the old ms wireless wheel.
-
Has anyone got any recommendations for best cars in each class?
-
I'm up for a race sometime, particularly when I have got some competitive cars.

I haven't really played it much yet so the bounty money I have is enough for me at the moment, then I'll probably just move onto paint/vinyl like you say. The bounty you get from the challenge is based on the rival's time/place on the leaderboards so all events have a top bounty of 150k just some are much harder than others. I understand what you mean about the free parts but I quite like being able to experiment with set ups without spending all my money on just a few cars.
-
Well you don't get something do you, I'd rather get up to manufacturer level 4 than be spending lots on parts for every car of that make. There is plenty of money in rivals mode as long as you only do enough to beat the ghost and not go flat out on the first go. If you can't beat the next person then move on to a different rivals challenge. If you have a better way of making money please do tell?
-
If you get to about level 4/5 with a manufacturer all their parts are free which saves quite a bit of money. At the moment it's pretty easy to get into the 100k/150k range particularly on stuff like the top gear track and go a little quicker each time. Made a million or so easily in an hour. I haven't found any better ways of making money yet.
-
Anyone else noticed it's really easy to get money by getting the bounty of 150k in rivals mode?
-
I've just downloaded the demo, seems pretty good but on the 458 rivals mode the AI keep running in the side of me, driving as if I wasn't there and sometimes they just slam the brakes on , on the straights. Anyone else finding this?
-
Those 4 stroke engines in the video were also nitro not petrol, you could see the glow plugs......
-
57 is how many varieties they made at some point, nothing to do with grades of bean.

Suzuki Cappuccino?

cheers everyone

Those red ball ends on the track rods look like the small size mcd or lauterbacher ones.

Pretty much the maximum time on a tank is 10 mins so in a 30 minute final (depends what final you are in as to the length, lower finals are shorter) you would have to stop at least twice, probably 3 times to be safe. An electric is unlikely to last that long on one set of batteries unless they are very high capacity. There are normally 3 heats which last 5/10 mins and you do as many laps as possible in the time. Your position for either your fastest heat or fastest two heats combined is where you qualify for your final. Then were you come in your final will determine what position you finish in the meeting.
-
The tank in the normal 8ight is 125cc or about 5-10cc more without the limiter I think. The run times aren't so bad as the 810 has a small block engine rather that a normal big block the 8ight uses.
-
The nearest lsor track to you is probably nook in Wakefield.

111
-
It has the same efra number as the jp4 so should be the same, otherwise it would be a different number I think?

Did you have rubber grommets fitted to the servo, you didn't maybe the mount flexed which caused the case the pull apart? -
It's nothing like a hormann, 4wd for a start. Isn't this a rebadged alloy thunderbolt 2 in the same way the punisher is?
-
It's the other way around, gearing it down, ie 16-48 will give better acceleration and lower top speed which will make it more likely to wheelie. Monster trucks use 16-48 gearing because fitting larger wheels has the effect of gearing it up so more top end but poor acceleration.
