very worthwhile!

can't comment on the first, i've generally done other upgrades at the same time.
but cars with insane power drive like animals, my fox body above has no traction through first/second/third so its not the best to drive :P

there are limitations on engine changes, not sure how the limitations are put in place, eg. the Fiesta has the choice of the XR5T motor and RS200 motor

my mustang had a choice of a bunch of Ford V8s, 5.0 Cammer, Stock Car Motor etc

Thats very cool. I just dont think I want to buy a Xbox just for this. I love the fact that there are older cars in it though.

I got GT on PSP the other week and it has some older cars but its mainly japanese and you cant mod. Its fun but not on the level like the above.

Your Fox mustang looks tough as.

top effort!

I think you have to have an eye for it, some of the designs people are doing are insane, i can't even visualise how they've done it.
that and people have way to much time on their hands.

1. do they cars change in handling when you start putting bigger engines in?

Very much so

I bought a Camaro Z28 and put in a Corvette Z06 engine, twin turboed it

Now making 700+kw and 1500+nm torque (if my memory is correct)

and it undrivable no matter what handling mods i do :(

Just touch the throttle and you spin. (only way to get moving is start slowly in say 4th or 5th but then you get to around 230km/h and it just goes pear shaped.

**Polyal** · 26-10-2009, 01:50 PM

That sounds good though, stops people from making a land missile and straight lining everything....ah im off to check ebay again..LOL

mac_man_luke · 26-10-2009, 02:13 PM

I would have liked to at least be able to use it for drags :(

Noddy · 26-10-2009, 02:27 PM

What is neat Are things like being able to fit a front drive axle to a gt500 stang and make it 4wd. Oh and the whine from the twin screw is awesome!

2. Can you put any engine you want in or are you restricted to size of the engine bay etc?

Yep sure does. MY 700kw+ Manaro was so hard to handle I put TC and Stability control back on. Even then you could go around a corner or be travelling in a straight line and suddenly lose it. Example being Nuremberg (spelling) I spent so much time on the grass because even though on a straight and with TC on the back end would be stepping out and fishtailing at 270kp/h. I also have a 02 WRX which has had every single mod I can done to it. I am using a V8 supercar with all aids off and until I get to 4th it is tricky to drive. Doing the whole clutch and change with a controller is strange but I am getting used to it.

They have a track where they held the Nazi trials? I haven't unlocked that one yet.

Though, you might be talking about Nürburgring.

martO · 26-10-2009, 08:45 PM

I got it thursday night but haven't had much time to play it yet.

Here are a couple of pics I took from mucking around in arcade mode last night.

Drifting at Kaido
Yes I hit a few walls haha

Messing around on Tsukuba
Last one looks amazingly real I think

Dazza XLT · 26-10-2009, 09:08 PM

Those V8 screenshots look tough AS!

lol yes why I always call it that is beyond me

**Polyal** · 26-10-2009, 10:21 PM

And those pics are from an xbox? If so Im blown away!

They sure are.
What's more impressive is the sound of the cars!

Just bought a Mustang GT and pimped it out, the sound of the supercharger whine is awesome. Except like 5 minutes later I won a Shelby GT500, kind of made it pointless haha.

Oh and for the turbo nuts, the turbo spool and blow-off valve noises are amazing. My little fiat 500 abarth sounds like a weapon. I converted it to rear-wheel drive and it just constantly wants to slide with any touch of the throttle!

Spudz27 · 27-10-2009, 11:02 AM

Maybe we should have a photo thread. Here is my 514kw WRX in Action. AWD but as you will see in the pic it oversteers like a RWD. It is also a 50/50 setup.

Lukeyson · 27-10-2009, 01:55 PM

been playing alot online, after being a huuuuge V83 fan online, this is still great (even tho no aus tracks for now), 8 people drag racing is pretty cool too.
if you wanna race sometime, add my tag: Lukeyson

Fireblade · 27-10-2009, 03:56 PM

One of the cars I've always wanted to build was a Datsun 1600 (510) well today my dream came true, albeit in a game.

Great shots, as soon as I saw that was going to be in the game, I was looking forward to modding one of those too, hot little cars. If only you could put a massive front mount on it too haha.

I've always wanted to build a 260z so I will be buying one of those in the game for sure, not to mention one the 1971 Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-Rs.

Spudz27 · 27-10-2009, 09:50 PM

I want some opinions. this is by no means finished yet, but I am creating kind of an evil fantasy character.

Fireblade · 27-10-2009, 09:56 PM

Looks good, Im not one for graphics really but that looks good, might look better being white on black or gray on black, just ideas.

Spudz27 · 27-10-2009, 09:58 PM

Yeah at the moment I am using black so I can make it in the grid section then applying it to a white vehicle simply to check how it fits to a car. As I finish it it will be different colours. Dependant on the colour of the vehicle. I will put it up for sale when it is done but it will take some time yet. Still have to figure out arms, maybe a weapon, better face etc.

Spudz27 · 27-10-2009, 11:06 PM

O.K well here is my finished product. It is on the store for anyone who is interested. Could have been better but that alone took me the last 2 hours of mucking around.

Fireblade · 28-10-2009, 12:03 AM

Looks good

wish I had the patience to do this stuff, but the graphic/decal thing has never really interested me in any of these games, but you never know I might look into some race inspired liveries ;) Whats the keyword and how much?

Spudz27 · 28-10-2009, 12:10 AM

Check out forzamotorsport.net on the boards there you can request people make a livery/vinyl for you. I was going to try a portrait but I do not have the time nor patience to colour every square.

Fireblade · 28-10-2009, 12:21 AM

All I can say is Im loving this game and cant wait for more DLC.

Spudz27 · 31-10-2009, 12:43 AM

This thread needs reviving. Now this is what happens when you get sick of looking at Vodafone advertising on your car. If only I could remove the rear wing.

What motor have you got in the 1600 ? SR or RB ?

FPV8U · 31-10-2009, 01:05 PM

Forza is really looking like alot of fun, love the fact you can do engine and drivetrain swaps, ect.

If GT5 doesn't live up to the hype i'll be off to buy a 2nd hand Xbox360 i think.

SM1DY · 31-10-2009, 02:40 PM

Ford GT

The Super Snake

No prizes for guessing where I got my inspiration for this one, 5.2 V10 R8.

And my pride'n'joy -

774kw
1227.9nm
8.4L TT V10 (Viper SRT10)
378km/h before I ploughed into a wall at Nurburgring
cost just under 300,000cr to build and rollin' on 23's
