BA Astina in GT4

[Ripper323]

Now I'm guessing lots of people have played this game and probably bought their own car in it, which is cool, but I bought a BA 323F and put the wing on it and well, it's definitely different! Comes off the back like a cosworth rally car or something, anyone else seen it? :eek:

[mazdamanik]

yeah thats the actual Mazdaspeed wing i do believe....very ugly i think...

[Ripper323]

I wasn't going to say that because my flame proof suit is at the dry cleaners, but now you said it....

[mazdamanik]

lol yeah its pritty awful....but some people like em and thats up to them i personally cant stand it

[Pato's Astina]

yeah i agree, there not the best lookin spoiler. I also have the 323f as my racing car, a white one just like mine :)

they also have a sport20...:)

[pr1mo]

is a sport20 the silver protege? or is there a hatch i havent seen yet?

[Pato's Astina]

i have only noticed the sport20 sedan, but there might be a hatch hidden somewhere????

[mazdamanik]

i wouldnt have a clue....i play Forza motorsport =P

[Ripper323]

I'm up to 76% in GT4, and still climbing!
And I was 3 hours into the 24hr Sarthe race and the power went off last night ARGHHHHHH :mad:

[pr1mo]

ripper. what car do u use for the 2nd last race in the professional leauge?? this is the supercar one.

[CRA23]

yeha im having the same problem tryin to find a car to race in that same race damn supercars!

i dont think there is a sp20 hatch only the sedan

ripper. what car do u use for the 2nd last race in the professional leauge?? this is the supercar one.
I used a Skyline GT-R34 tuned to about 700bhp. It held up quite well against all those low and wide supercars...

[pr1mo]

in that race your only allowed non modified cars though arent you?

[Ripper323]

ripper. what car do u use for the 2nd last race in the professional leauge?? this is the supercar one.
Is that the one where you have to have more than 493hp?? I can't remember what I used, maybe an RZ Supra off tap, I can't remember, was a while ago. Pr1mo, you'll have to come by my place one day and check out my garage, and have a few battles.

[pr1mo]

for sure. i could bring the 51cm telly and have a LAN battle :)


actually i was thinking about having maybe a fortnightly challenge liek some of the GT forums have where you post your best lap time in arcade mode. then set up a series with a winner at the end of it all. proof taken via digital camera etc.

[mazdamanik]

can people with forza be included....since its a better game =P

[pr1mo]

pfft set up your own leauge :P

[mazdamanik]

lol just kidding.....for some reason ive noticed that there is a large difference in time between nurburg ring on GT4, and on forza? they both reckon they have the track maped correctly and the fastest time i can set so far is only bout 5:40 which is well off the times that people ahve said they can do in GT4.....ive seen times down as low as 5:11 so not sure wat the deal is.....maybe i just cant drive

[Ripper323]

That's pretty quick for the Nurburg ring, I have a love/hate relationship with that track. Bringing the telly over, mike, sounds like a tops idea mike.

[mazdamanik]

i no some pritty insane times set....i been concentrating on setting up drift cars =D

[Ripper323]

What drift cars do you have?
Mine are:
S13, S14, S15 Silvia's
Sileighty
RX7 S3 Infini
BP Falken RX7
RZ Supra
'98 300zx
R32 GTs-T
R34 GTR

[mazdamanik]

at the moment im completing some fine tuning on an RZ Supra, Spirit RX-7 and an AE-86. I also have a Silvia and a 350Z that ive started work on....and i think thats about it....have been trying to get a couple of FWD setup to drift but its pritty hard, the Integra does go alright as does the mazda 3 but other then that.....just dont work

[Ripper323]

Oh yeah I have an 86 as well, the Shuichi Shigeno version, but I find it a little under powered.

[mazdamanik]

lol the one in i got is pumpin out 340kw with a supercharger and a 4AGZE engine=D...onething i do likebout forza is teh engine swaps=D 20B in rx7

[Fro-Daddy]

for that supercar race i used the tuscan speed 12...goes alright...think i got a silver in one and gold for the rest, although i havnt played it in a while

i only saw a sedan, no hatch :(

drift cars, none atm...getting there soonish :P

[Ripper323]

Sounds sweet.
In GT4 to do FWD drift, the formula is easy.
FWD car + high power + handbrake on all around the track = DRIFT!

[pr1mo]

hmm thats it....GT4 fortnightly comp happening :) check the INTERNATIONAL events section sooooooon!!!

[mazdamanik]

if onyl there was a way to get a drift challange going.....

[pr1mo]

check international event section everyone!

The term "unmodified" is a little misleading in GT4. It means non-racecars, therefore you can buy a stock (GT-R for example) and modify it to your heart's content. ;)

[CRA23]

/me goes trys, thx kthl :D

If I remember correctly, the only requirement for your car to enter the Supercar festival is that it be "unmodified".
