Awkward

it did for me, except i cant get stage 4 parts anymore........

Yeah, same here.

Oh fish man, I think your new sigs a bit too wide.

It really doesn't matter, SB had one like that with a RX-7 and you said nothing about it.

Uh yes it does seeing as we have to adhere the rules.
It's 29 pixels too wide, but I'm going to let you have some time to resize it fish man.
I actually didn't notice SuperBeasts as being too wide, but anyways. Forum rules. We have the 500x200 pixels rule because not everyone has a wireless router like me that can go at 100mbps.

Haha, I have my PS3 back. Time to get the extender bundles! That should liven things up a bit more.

Nice one murcielago, we should get a race arranged

Yes, true. Have you got GTAIV or GT5:Prologue yet?

On-topic, I hate the sharp downhill section on Willow Springs, think it's short circuit 2, mainly because If I don't slow down to a crawl it'll bump and roll, which brings in another thing, why the hell do you only have to roll your car to total?

i take it you have never heard of the ECS (or something like that), it is used in racing, basicly it does what it stands for, Engine Cut-off Switch. basicly when a car is envolved with an accident, the engine is ment to cut out. hence stopping the car from catching on fire.

so in this case once the car roles the engine cuts out so the car wont start again.

hoped this helped

Yes I have both, but like an idiot I put my age in for the good account, so now I have to use my other account to play online in GTA IV, I also have GT5

We should get back on topic...

? yes I have, but thats not totalling it, that's cutting out the engine, you have to restart the race if you roll it, which is quite unrealistic.

too be honest i wouldnt have a clue

Actually that "switch" typically puts it into neutral because if the car is in neutral it's not exactly what you call using the drive which requires combustion of the cylinders to work.
Either way it technically does what you have said, but it doesn't actually turn the engine off.

no, going by what you saying, the engine is still going. hence sparks, fuel is being pumped, electricity, fire, boom. what is was on about is when the "kill switch" (scientific name for it) is activitated, it does either.

1. blasts all of the fuses
2. shutdown the ECU

in this cases there is no more electricity running to the spark plugs, hence no more fuel being burned. hence no more combustion. hence less chance of a boom.

to finish of with a note:

My recent awkard moment:

i was in the middle of a drag race, i was speeding down track A of the 2nd rogue speed event then all of the sudden without me touching the control. my charger down a shard right turn and hit the wall head-on.

I thought we mentioned in another thread that the Dodge Charger was infamous for it's mishaps...

Oh and actually, even though the engine is still running in neutral the combustion levels are relatively low and the heat energy created is also relatively low to the extent you could virtually ignore them.

There is also of course it working with anti-stall.

true the charger is full of suprizes and heres another thing i noticed when tuning this beast.

time without racing seats = 6.61

time with racing seats = 6.48

note: these times are average of 5 runs

so is this another glitch thing, or is EA still full of suprizes and thought that a more comfortable driver would help make the car go faster?

Well no cause those racing seats will have been manufactured to have "racing" capabilities namely they wont be leather and expensive synthetic fibres.
They won't actually look for "comfort" for the driver as such. They are more designed for support.
So what they do is they fill them with something light as the interior...have something fairly comfortable on the exterior though not sure if you can write home about it kind of thing since it will be more like "grippy" stuff to keep the driver pretty much in place along with the seatbelts and thus they can also make it lighter.

making it lighter... yeah that could of got rid of 0.05 off

You mean 0.13 seconds?
It's quite probable.

Yea the Zonda for wheelie, when I had my first game save, it sucked bad but maybe it was just my tuning, so it was sold

My new game save I have a 1028bhp Supra that is brill at Wheeling, And was up against an online player with a fully tuned zonda, he he he guess who won,

nice but my charger has the same hp but goes 1,443 ft =]
