Oh, apparently HMV are doing a similar trade-in deal to the one they did with MoH and Black Ops.
Trade in f1 2010, and get GT5 for a fiver!
Pretty good deal i reckon. Just a shame i just sold F1 2010 for £28 on ebay! D'oh!
Thanks for the comments guys.
Christopher, there seems to be a lot of love for the blue over cw in this thread so far. Surely they can't all be wrong?! :approve:
Been having a play about with the car today. Really can't stop giggling at the noise the GruppeM makes. Going to have another...
Yeah, the blue got discontinued at the mid-life facelift. However, all FD2s are discontinued now anyway, so a moot point really! Looking at the used market now, the CW definitely still commands a premium.
Tegiwa have said they won't be doing a FD2 GruppeM copy. Think its because the market in...
Of course mate. Sometimes do the weekly shop there. Do you work there?
Aye, that's what pushed me over the edge in the end.
I know its not a lot of power, but I think its probably the best option as far as induction kits go for the FD2. The Mugen kit by all accounts is pretty useless and...
Good thanks mate.
Not really had chance to test them properly yet, but hopefully should make it to Oulton in the next month (weather permitting!). They do seem to feel much better than the old Ferodo DS2500s I was running previously.
Fair point, it is at the end of the day a hybrid with...
Thanks for the comments guys.
To be honest, I can't for the life of me remember what the ITG sounds like (short memory lol). But the GruppeM is very much a low pitched roar which I was a bit surprised as with the vtec I thought it'd be more of a high pitched screamer.
Lol, I actually asked...
Hi boys and girls. Been a while since I posted any pics of my FD2 so thought I'd start a thread on what is fast becoming a money pit for me!
Its sort of a project thread, but those of you expecting something as epic as say Firas' awesome EK9 thread will be sorely disappointed. On the plus...
Must admit this looks pretty cool.
In all seriousness, is it worthwhile me signing up to Facebook just to play this?
I've managed to avoid the dam thing for about 4 years now, but this looks like the thing that could break me.
Maybe pop along to to the Renaultsport.co.uk forum too if you haven't already.
There's a few members on their who work for RUK who are usually really helpful with this sort of thing.
Hmm.... Patched mine up, but just had a quick game and was annoyed to find that I was the only car that pitted.
Had been leading, pitted and came back out in 17th, fought my way up to 10th expecting to see the cars in front pit at some point, but not a single pitted through the whole race!
I...
Congratulations mate, definitely a very cool car at the moment.
I know you're saying you "love it" at the moment, but let's face it, you're still very much in the "honeymoon" period where the car can do no wrong.
I give it approximately 6 months before you're on here posting a thread about...
Been playing most the night in career mode.
Has anyone had any races where people have actually retired? I've done 4 races now with a full line-up completing the race. Seems a bit odd to me.
Loving the game so far, only minor disappointment is that you don't get to do a parade lap at the...
Pre-ordered mine today.
Hoping it'll be good!
From what I've seen of the pictures and videos, this game has "wowed" me in the same way when I was about 8 years old and saw the original Formula 1 game on the Playstation1!
Good to hear!
In this day and age, when you hear stories like this, you just automatically assume they drove off without leaving a note! Faith in humanity restored!
Unlucky mate.
Really feel for you as the same happened to me a few months back.
However, in my case they actually left a note! So was all sorted by insurance in the end. No such luck for you I take it?
The wheelstand pro looks like a pretty neat solution to it all.
However, anyone know if it allows you to mount the gear lever on the left as in a RHD car?
An epic read mate (though it took a few attempts as my laptop kept crashing!)
Really admire your commitment to it and all the cool bits you've got for it. Would love to go nuts at my FD2 at some point, but the prices of some of these JDM bits really are depressing.
I mean, £55 just for a...
Surely it's not beyond the realms of possibility for Renault to build a re-bodied Nissan 370Z only with a bit more eccentricty and gallic flare?
Plus swapping the V6 unit for a smaller turbo-charged engine (as is the style these days) plus a bit of the ol' RenaultSport chassis magic?
So true.
Having said that, there's a rumour that Williams are going to switch from Cosworth engines to Renault engines from next year. But I doubt that's a factor in this.
Check for wear on the side bolsters of the recaros seats.
Also a cold start patch was released for them about 2 years after launch which apparently improved the cars tendancy to "kangaroo" when cold so you check if that's been done.
And I'd agree with advice above, get a R27. However, the...
I remember vague talk of Renault actually selling a road going version of one about a year or two ago.
Everyone was getting a bit wet (ahem) over on the Renaultsport forum. I guess the project died though.
Surely the biggest issue for road use are the sequential boxes which I can't imagine...
