GRM Forza 3 triple awesome racing league

Well im in a lobby alone and ill stay until 11c before ditching...

Fink, I built a SM, looking foward to a chance to run it... but for some reason my car is a 168 not a 169

ROFL! I'm lazy, Brad...haven't done it in F3, because IIRC it took me about 4hrs to do in F2 (although I was pretty stoked back then to hear I'd been the first guy to do it).

I got megacredits in F3 right now...can you tell me who you bought it from? I'd pay for that one too (it looked fantastic!), just to keep from having to do it m'self again!

I'm still thinking that we should stop calling them the "East Coast" & "West Coast" rooms, and just say "Early" and "Late".

From what I can see with the search function...all of us in the "West" room don't live on the Left Coast at all.

oldtin, your profile here sez you live in Illinois. That would make you the most western guy in our group. I'm in Atlanta, and Bob's in Long Island, NY.

Anhyoo...great stuff tonight, especially the "Party Races" after the "official" ones! All y'all need to come run with us!!

EDIT: N Sperlo was there, too. My fault that I didn't remember. Sperlo, I don't know where you live, tho...I try to click on your profile, and I get a 404 here.

Sorry I had to bail guys. The late start and the technical difficulties pretty much took up the hour I had allotted for racing. Maybe next weekend!

Engine and Power Air Filter > Install the "Street Air Filter" Exhaust > Install the "Street Exhaust" Your new PI number should be F188 after these mods. Platform and Handling Brakes > Install "Street Brakes" Your new PI should be F189 Springs and Dampers > Install "Race Springs and Dampers" This mod allows full adjustbility (needed to allow for the proper setup later) Your new PI should be F193 Anti Roll Bars > Install "Sport front anti roll bars" and "Sport rear anti roll bars" Your PI should remain F193 Chassis Reinforcement and Roll Cage > Install the "Race chassis reinforcement and roll cage" Your new PI should be F197 Weight Reduction > install "sport weight reduction". I know this does not match up to what a real spec miata has parts wise, but look closely at the weight of your car with this mod, it is 2201. Add in the average (lighter than most of us) driver and this is just about right for a 94, which is 2350 if I remember correctly. Drivetrain Clutch > Install "sport clutch" Your new PI should be E201 Tires and Rims Go to "Rim Style" all the way to the right first, go to the Team Dynamics wheels and install > "Pro Race 1 or Pro Race 2 (Pro Race 2 is 3lbs lighter) Front Rim Size > Upgrade the Front Rim Size to the first option to the right which will give you a 185/55/15 wheel (don't worry, the tire size will be 205-50-15 later) Rear Rim Size > Do the same as the front Front tire width > install the second option to the right which is "205-50-15" Rear tire width > do the same as the front again Tire compound > install the second tire choice to the right which is "sport tire compound" (these are DOT legal spec tires according to the description) After all the mods your new PI should be E269 (sorry, forgot to document each PI increase) Suspension Tuning The only thing that needs to be spec here is the spring rates, which should be 700 in the front and 325 in the rear. The ride height, alignment, and tire pressures are open to your adjustments, just as in real life, and the only other adjustment that is available is the damping, which I suggest we leave alone to eliminate complications.

Since last night held the last scheduled races for the spec 1975 series I was thinking this ^^ would make for some good racing for the next round. Either that or the 1973 porsche rs

I can't tell you how peeved I was when you passed me on that last lap.

I think I am the cause of it being called the "west coast" room (I am in California) that being said, I think calling it the "Late room" is perfectly accurate, even if its a little early for that

Ok. Late room it is. Im a Midwest guy so its 11 at my house. Ill probably stick around for some Late Late Races. Anytime im online playing hit me up and Ill prolly be up for a race. I have some cars I want to try out.

Any time, Drew. A lot of us also run together if we see each other online during the week. And most of us seem to drop in & out of "League Night" depending on RL.

ROFL! Cap'n I owe you one cold beer for that. I didn't mean to go all "Eastern" on ya, bro. I just thought that since it took place after the other one..

What we need is somebody in Hawaii, then we'll call that the "late", and the old West room will be the "middle".

Tin, I just made one, so I am in.

And corrado, got that right, Im as right coast as you can get.

That said I came on here for this-

If any of you guys are missing some car/track packs, now is the time to buy, the older ones are on sale for 240 pts a piece!

Yeah, I saw that! I guess their failures with the "new" the public lobbies are coming home to roost. I'm trying not to gloat...but it's just sooooo dang hard not to! Makes me wanna go play FM2 online again just to rub it in.

I also have the Spec Miata build on my storefront for free. It's best to use a "new" car for the build, cause if you want to adjust the tire pressures, camber, or caster, you'll have to re-set the build, then go back and re-apply the parts.

Remember, the spring rates must be 725lbs front, and 300lbs rear.

The PI should be 269

I cant get it Racer, My car is built right, and only 268.

And Fried, they always do that once they get a lil old, and before they release new stuff

Street Brakes?

RF, I think I'll just go get the one on your storefront. I can't get the computer and the xBox at the same time very often with the g/f and the boarder living here. Besides, I'll bet two Euros that your tune is a lot better than I could come up with on my own..

Hey guys, it's been a couple months, but I'll soon be back on Xbox Live. GF and myself just picked up a boarder/friend in need of housing rescue and he has ordered up some DSL. Now we just have to get the router working properly. So, soon I'll be up for getting back to racing.

Well, it's not really my tune, it's Eric Foss' tune.

Got em, Fink. I have to check again, but I'm pretty sure it is all up to spec, sure there isnt something left off the list?

Am I stil the only drifter?

Hell no, didnt you see me in last in that Shelby a few races ago?

racerfink wrote: Well, it's not really my tune, it's Eric Foss' tune.

Fink, that name rings awful familiar for me, is that the same Eric Foss that's won in the Pro Spec Miata series and co-drives with Randy Pobst in the Grand-Am Continental series ?

I hope you know that's a joke, dude..Takumi actually beat him, right?

You'd clean my clock, with enough extra time to set it for me on Fujimi Kaido. I think drifting's seriously cool, but I still haven't figured out how to do it (other than overcooking a corner, and doing it by accident..), even virtually.

In reply to friedgreencorrado:

The same. When we were running a Spec Miata series on the Spec Miata Forum board, he was one of the guys running. Jim Daniels was another that was running.
