I did it on a brand new mini cooper s and it pushed me over the bhp limit for a seasonal event

Lol, I just did exactly the same with the Focus ST.

I take it there's no way of knocking it back down again? Gonna have to buy another one I think......

Like the wind. On bspec im pretty sure.

There must be another car that can be used though. I read somewhere a fully modded countach.

Trying to use the 69' GT40 race car now. It takes 4th place from the start but falls back to 7th by the first corner where it stays.

Eryl182 · Jan 3, 2011

The Countach will do it, get the correct tune and its a done thing.

Fit the A type Wing to it, Max the aero.
Soft Racing Tyres.
Lower the nose.
Sex max speed to 178 (or near that).

K1NGY · Jan 3, 2011

Ah man i really cba to do bspec that much! its good but it gets really boring! constantly having to tell him what to do

Loving aspec atm tho, my 599 is just wiping the floor on pro races

concerning the seasonal events :

you must be very careful when buying a new car and the mods you do to it as the events are very strict 1bhp over and your f**ked. NEVER do an oil change as 9/10 times it will put you over the bhp limit, from memory the mini comes with 167bhp new so just go to the tuning shop and add either a sport inlet, airfilter, decat or manifold basically anything that takes you to the 172bhp limit. same goes with weight think its 1210kg so plastic windows will see you at 1200kg limit. same rules apply for most of the seasonal events

oh forgot to add its a good idea to mod all the other bits that don't effect power so suspension, transmission, lsd's etc etc just NOT weight and power...

However!

If you take the Mini and lower the transmission to a lower speed, which you will need to do in any case, it will decrease the BHP which allows you to add more performance parts to boost the power back up again. Just choose the parts wisely as some can't be removed.

K1NGY · Jan 3, 2011

I won the veyron and max'd it out and then saw someone say it was shyt....

I just used it in a race and WOHA!

it can shift! 1024 bhp hahahaha

its pretty gd tbh, lil shitty in the corners but not BAD

great car

LowLife. · Jan 3, 2011

Right, I don't know if it's the PS3 or the copy of GT5 I have, but when I load it up it says it's accessing information from my HD press ok. I press ok and it just goers to a black screen, doesn't load any further. However, if I press O when it asks me to press X at that point, it loads fine. WTF? I'm coming from just playing Xbox and it seems like the PS3 is really glitchy :S

Thats wrong, fitting the transmission does not lower power it lowers possible speed but increases acceleration or vice versa. with or without the transmission the car/engine is 167bhp std

ive got 800K what to get?

Suggestions?

BIFCAIDS · Jan 4, 2011

Veyron is piss poor it should be made by the Americans it's that bad at cornering all speed and no cornering. I've done loads of b-spec now got the zonda yesterday.

Oh has anybody whatched any GT-TV? I watched the 24h ring vids (there's two) they were alright to watch but you soon realise why it took so b*****d long for the game to come out because the manager was out all the time pissin about.

Worked on the Mini for me, il try and get pics tonight.

It didn't work on the fiat 500 when I tried that but it did work on the Mini.

Brazo · Jan 4, 2011

Golded nearly all of b spec, now.and have stopped at level 30. Yesterday I started to play the game properly.with the DFGT wheel. Golded most of the nascar challenges, so much easier with a wheel. But feck me that top gear lotus challenge is impossible! Can't even drive it it in a straight line!

Harpham · Jan 4, 2011

Been doing mostly Special classes today... That Gran Tour is a great little money earner!

Getting really gripped into this game atm.

It's a pain in the arse that one. Took me ages to get gold.

But you do get used to the cars handling after a while, you have to seriously pedal that car to complete it.

Brazo · Jan 4, 2011

yeah the Lotus is running comfort hard tyres or solid plastic for short!!!! If they had given it sport soft that challenge would have been so much more enjoyable!

lanky · Jan 4, 2011

For the seasonal races use these set ups

I could only manage Silver on that... It got to the point where I was about ripping my hair out to even finish the race!

domjolly · Jan 4, 2011

that lotus challenge is the only time i had to out on the anti skid aid, the rest of the time i have everything off but f**k me the lotus drive3 like they are on ice.

just got my zonda R amazing tune that fucker tweek the suspension and its epic, Lvl 21 bspec and 20 a spec now.

Setone · Jan 4, 2011

That Lotus 111r once raced moddied and setup correctly with racing tyres is imo the best handling car i've driven so far.

But that TGTT race is a nightmare, and the VW bus one

K1NGY · Jan 4, 2011

i brought a gallardo and just race tuned and modded it and just owned the lambo and gallardo races

i find it quite hard to level up on bspec tbh, any suggestions?

tonksy26 · Jan 4, 2011

Anyone got the Suzuki Escudo dirt trial car ?

Just come up for sale in the UCD at just under 2million, 981 BHP.

Cnt decide weather to buy it or not

tonksy26 · Jan 4, 2011

i did it and splashed out

New oil gave it 1019 bhp and now with stage 3 turbo its running 1048 bhp.

NEclio 172ph2 · Jan 4, 2011

Not much increase in power for a stage 3 then? 30k for 29bhp lol

tonksy26 · Jan 5, 2011

not really lol goes like stink off the line but its a right b**ch to control on corners lol just doing the gran turismo tour i think its called, won the first race and winning the second race, not far behind at all though.

Setone · Jan 5, 2011

Anyone done the birthday trick yet? The game gives you a car on your birthday. So if you make another account and set that days date as your birthday free car.

domjolly · Jan 5, 2011

Do any races in gt mode have weather effects? I'm still yet to cone across any
