Forza3
 

so just got my copy of Forza3
so far its amazing. great gameplay, awesome cars etc....just flawless really.

wanna set up a mt.net forza 3 miata only race lol. looking to do it in like a week or so, so people can get the game, play it for a bit, and then design their own miata. btw they have the RB type 2 front bumper lol

i painstakingly made a decal set for the miata hardtop to make it black and and spill over as little as possible. if you search "mt.net" in the storefront you can DL it for free lol

i didnt liek the demo, and never liked the car physics on FM2 that I had.

I did like the need for speed track game though. That felt a lot more realistic.

Maybe FM3 would be better if I had a wheel and not a controller

I got a copy too and I love it. So realistic
my Internet is down so I haven't done the xbox live yet but
JuiceDepot is mine name on the

I picked up a copy. The gameplay is almost flawless. Great sim. and recommended for anyone who just loves cars. The mx-5 is on point. I've already replicated my car

i've made mine too lol

Picked up my collectors copy today. I was finishing up the bearing mod on my wheel last night when I found that the bearing was too deep. :( Btw, my homemade lathe = the steering shaft shoved onto a center punch that is mounted in the drill. Cut material away with a razorblade and wallah!
I'm all for a mt.net race. Just hope it can fit into my schedule.

I made my car, but I had to paint it pink, since my paint is so faded. I'm pissed they don't have Konig Helium's in the game. Similar looking ones though. So far I have been tinkering with vinyl more than racing. So far I have only done a Martini Racing 370Z skin that is up for sale in the storefront. I bet that will be what I do the most of though. I wish I could port over my Martini Porsche and Audi Race cars I built on Forza 2. I spent tens of hours on each car, and have them all tuned to perfection for me.

I'm in for the miata race. Already got my car made, haha.

I say we do spec Miata. Or at least do a race with all of the cars turbo and to the same specs HP and suspension wise. Tuning it is up to you.

I vote we all make our IRL cars and race them.

Yeah, b/c that's gonna work... we're all riding around on 235 R-comps and 500lbs of weight reduction right? :laugh:

No way I'm putting my stock piece of shit up against some of yours.

:giggle: we should do our cars just the way they are and race them just for fun and then do races with the same specs and just decoratedthe way you like

There needs to be a restriction to a certain class...

yea. like you can have a c class miata. whatever you've done to get to c class who cares but it has to be c class...something along those lines?

we can do stock too, cause in the options for setting up online play, you can force everyone back to stock w/o you guys having to actually de-mod your car.

Yes, exactly what I mean. If stock mods are forced, can you still modify the available suspension settings (ie: tire pressure)?

think so

Ive got to get in on this. Will be picking up the game asap.. Gamer tag: fireindc . If you pm me on xbox make sure you let me know your from mt.net, i always get bullshit friend requests and deny them.

I like game a lot so far. Played with some guys form cr.net, didn't know anyone from mt.net had it!

I'll race in the c-class miata or stock whatever. We could have credit buyins :-D

EDIT: Fuck, probably banned from XBL for playing it early...

We could do Spec Miata,

I have figured out the closest we can get to SCCA Spec Miata racing.

SCCA Spec Miata Build:

1994 MX-5 Miata

Wheels: +2 lbs. (I used the American Racing Torq-Thrust M, but there are other choices, just make sure it adds 2 lbs.)

Upgraded front tire width 205/50R15

Upgraded Rear tire width 205/50R15

Sport tire Compound

Racing Beat Street Rear Wing (Allowed, optional)

Street Transmission (Changes Fluid and adds a short throw shifter, both allowed)

Street Brakes (Changes Fluid, pads, and adds steel lines)

Sport Springs and Dampers

Race Front Anti-Roll Bars

Race Rear Anti-Roll Bars

Roll Cage

Sport Weight Reduction (Supposed to be normal battery, but everything else allowed)

Street Fuel System

Sport Ignition

Street Exhaust

Street Oil and Cooling

Final Rating: D296


This is as close as I can get it. You are allowed to remove all the stuff the game lists as removing with the weight reduction, but the car is under minimum weight. In the actual series, they add ballast where they want to make up that additional weight. I don't think we can do that. Also, the 1.8 L Miatas have to run with restrictor plates in the series so they are even with the 1.6 L Miatas. I don't think we can add restrictors, but no one can run a 1.6 L Miata in the game, anyway

Any body game for that? Or make it c-class?

we can do that. or have an all c-class race. or b-class, or hell even s-class. (full built and boosted miata is s-class) and we can also have a run what you brung race lol. super tight course isn't gonna benefit a 500hp miata, 250-200 could win easily given there were no super long straights lol

This makes me want to get a 360 instead of a ps3 for GT5. How in depth is the tuning in this game?

Not much different from Forza 2, quit a leap from GT4.

Anyone down for some c class miata racing, tomorrow night around 6 est? I'll be on either way. Been doing kaido courses in my c class miatas, too much fun lol

i'll be on sometime tomorrow but not sure what time

just got done playing 2 hours of A class racing... man that shit is fun. got lucky and played with 7/8 people not brake checking or ramming.

...actually, yeah. Why do you ask? :giggle:

It only takes that 1 person to ruin my night though. I can remember once on Forza 2 I had 2 or 3 British kids laughing and deciding to give up on racing and waited for me, the leader to come back around and then they all 3 ganged up on me and started wrecking me and pinning me against the wall and whatnot, all while laughing. This was like the last 2 laps of a 20 lap race I had been working hard on for the last half hour for a large pot, so I was a bit pissed off after that. I kind of lost the taste of racing against people I didn't know. I would hope no one on here would have bad enough e-manners to do that kind of thing, or to ram people. I usually have good racing manners and will let someone who is faster around me just to avoid a tangle because of the slight lag that always exists. If they deserve it anyway, and seem like decent racers.

My game representation of my Miata is pretty close. Its slow and ugly. I even made the front bumper and mirrors faded to pink so it was even more real. Now only if it was a soft top and not a hard top I would be set. We need to plan a race, I always miss it when someone on here decides they want to race. Plan it a day or two ahead at a set time.

Honest answer please: Is this game enough of an upgrade for forza2 to be worth paying full price for it right now?

What are the benefits of this game, is there alot more courses? Touge runs like in Forza1? I hear you can get a NA now but is it worth the cash?

If I thought Id be playing at the same time as you guys I would say a spec miata race and a C-class race would be good. Spec would be good as everyone has the same so its down to driving. C-Class has so many options the driving would be so filled with fun it would be epic although I would suggest shorter lengths for C-class.

yeah I made a vinyl on the back of my car hoping it would help some but I think it makes it worse lol.

My A600 miata is only competitive on short tracks and its a handful, but man does it stick on a 70+mph turn.

c class miatas are fun, I was able to put up a couple top 100 and 1 top 50 times on some short tracks in my c classer, but anything that requires WOT in 4th gear and i'll get bumped 2000-3000 spots on the leaderboard lol.



Like I said, I'll be on around 5-6 est tonight to play some, I was going to invite some guys from clubroadster as well (they play clean).

Have you not seen any of the reviews? The game is awesome. Buy it. Its the best of both games with even more greatness added

how did you make a texas license plate?

476 layer vinyl. was on the storefront, i just ran across it.

Just make your own pansies. Mine isnt as detailed, but it only took me maybe 50-75 layers to make an Alabama tag for my cars. I don't see the need to make it 400+ layer detailed when its going to be so small most of the detail will be lost. Can't see it very well in this picture, but its there. I'd maybe be willing to do some vinyl favors if anyone has simple requests like tags and logos.

Absolutely. I wasn't sure at first if it would be worth it going from Forza 2 either, but my god the graphics really are worlds better if you have the eye for detail. Forza 2 already looks so good, its hard to see the 4x the polygon count in the models. Gameplay is much more fun and there is so much more stuff to do. Most of my time is spent doing stuff other than racing, like modifying cars and designing vinyls and race cars. Tuning is a about the same, but it was already as in depth as it needed to be in 2. I'm really enjoying it so far. For me it was completely worth it.

more cars, more tracks, more people online.

And more to do online. I find myself looking at other peoples designs and vinyl sets for hours. I've purchased a few that caught my eye. Some of them are just insane. I can design some good stuff with a computer and photoshop or illustrator, but to do it in game and have it look like a photograph or a real anime character is crazy. I don't have that much patience with anything. Can also find some really good deals in the auction house. I used to only sell stuff, but now I'm starting to look for good deals. Money is a bit harder to come by in 3 than it was in 2. My car collection isn't growing vastly very fast.

add me longuyen88

for spec miata!

I really need to get another headset. Not being able to talk is :greddy: At least have text chat or something in the lobby. What was the deal with only A class races last night? I have cars built for every class BUT A class. I had to use my bone stock and untuned 997 GT2 all night. Also :greddy: Had a good time racing though. That was the first time I have raced more than 2 races online before the server vanished or I got bored of racing against people who only try to wreck you. Pretty clean racing. Flier129 was kicking ass most of the time. Next time it wont be so easy, I have tuned a few A class cars now.

me and flier left to make miatas, you just couldn't hear us talking. and that 997 gt2 is fucking fast.

I was surprised with it. I saw A class and went to my garage and only saw that GT2 and some other low A class car that was also one I had won. It did so well I just stuck with it. Pulled off plenty of 2nd places, but don't think I came in 1st all night. Those R8's kept walking my ass in the straights but I would come back up in the corners. I just needed about 10 more hp and I would have been good to go. My only 2 Miatas are one built like mine, which is I think a D class, and the other is an NC built to S class. I guess I need to start building some more cars for each class. I've been focusing on S class too much. I have about 10 competitive built S class cars.

I liked your PLEASE DON'T HIT ME tag on the back of your car :laugh:

the A class circuit racing is the only rooms i've had the best races and least amount of asshats. the other track types are any class =(

I did some S-class racing and it was filled with asshats. Got with a random guy that raced cleaned in a-class and another random guy that ended up racing clean, rest of them would purposely wreck me lol.

My a-class miata is a decent hot lap car but good god if I get touched I'm off to the moon. The R8 and GT are cakewalk for a-class though, haven't even made the S5 leaderboard car yet! I like tuning the underdog cars and running them in public rooms. I've also been getting kicked from rooms cause Im a champion :( its so unfair lol.

We should definately setup a c-class tournament, throw some credits in somehow, winner takes all! Doesn't have to be c-class, I'd do whatever, still be interesting.

I tend to stay away from the mass online racing because I'm afraid I'll clobber someone and start and multi-car pileup.

I might have a little something for you guys now. Have spent ALL night building decent A class cars. The best one I have built so far runs about 1-1.5 seconds per lap faster on Mugello than the GT2 I ran all last night. I bet I have bought and sold $800,000 worth of cars tonight. Buy one, tune it, don't like it, then sell it for 40% what its worth, then make some more money racing and buy and build another car. Out of the 20 or so I bought, I only kept 4 as A class cars. I also build cars not only for their lap time, but for being easy to drive. If its fast buy a hand full, I won't even mess with it. I'd rather run a second slower per lap than other people if I don't run off the track every lap, or have to fight it all time. I can just cruise.

Like a lot of people do. Nothing pisses me off more than a messy start with people ramming each other. Right from the start I get turned around and end up in last place only 100ft from the line. Its always me that ends up facing the wrong way. Everyone else somehow keeps on going. :vash: Thats one of the reasons I like AWD cars so much for online. I can get a good launch and get ahead of the mess. But then that turns against me and I get rammed in the first turn...

Guys over on cr.net are interested in starting tournaments too. Hope we can get them started, it'd be pretty fun!

Like MT vs CR? They will be rocking the body kits and extreme camber all up in this bitch. They wouldn't stand a chance!

lol naw, although that'd be interesting. It'd be a FFA, could do winner takes all or have a prize for 1st 2nd and 3rd or something. If we had more than 8 ppl we'd have to do heats and then a final runoff or something.

AnyTime Ill play gamertag is RUM RUM 824
