Bit different this time guys. You have 20,000 cr. and you must buy a used car. The car can be any car you like as long as its used and is under 20,000. You can get quite a good car with that amount of cash, i've seen a few Evo VI for about 12,000 and some Impreza's for around 15,000. And you have to take a pic of the car and the price before you buy it and race it.

The track will be Tsukuba again, because its a simple track. And the only changes you can do to the car is an oil change and a car wash if you want.

No cheating.[-X

Wow, thats a great idea, we should have these types of comps more often! It should test our skills to buy a good bang for buck car.:D Anyways, I'll have a go today. So we have to take a pic of our time on Tsukuba and another pic of our car before we buy it?

What about the cheap specials people can get? Are you going to allow them?

What about the cheap specials people can get? Are you going to allow them?

I think it's allowed, at least it's used and under 20,000 Cr then i guess it's eligible.

Anyways I've bought a car and set a time. It was very hard for me to choose between an STi and an Evo IV, but since the Scoobie's lighter, i got that.:)

EDIT: Dammit sorry the pics are way too big again.:p

yea, the pics are too big lol, but wow, you got nice ideas there jamesy...this should be a nice challenge if you have more ideas furthur on...darn, you guys got nice cars...and jamesy, try to take the pictures without the flash, it shuold be better...and remember to set the resolution of the picture before you take it ;)

Well it looks like I got the best deal lol! A Mazda RX-7 RZ. Bought in the "late 90s" category for 19,990. It pushes out 266HP, I forgot to do an oil change when I bought it... I also forgot to take a pic of it with the price, but after I realised, even though it was too late, and I took this:

http://img238.imageshack.us/img238/8261/dsc00237se4.jpg

I quickly managed to pull off a 1'04.084.

UPDATE: A 1'03.710.

Aww damn, everybody is slogging the poor Scoobies Ass.:D And the person that is currently leading - Breakfan, is thrashing us all with a RWD car with less hp than mine and james' car! anyways, I'll have another go later on, hopefully i will get under the 1:04 bracket...

Oh and a quick suggestion to James. Why not for the next com increase the Cash to 30,000 or 40,000 so we can get a better used car, OR maybe get a new car? Could be pretty good...

it's look like im out of the championship. My game doesn't work anymore......

Yeah for the next comp i'm gonna make it 60,000 and you have to get a new car.:)

Damn you can never get tired of this game!

Is anyone else using the Logitech Driving Force Pro? Honestly guys, if you aren't, look for a good deal on internet//eBay, and BUY it! It's fantastic.

Yeah for the next comp i'm gonna make it 60,000 and you have to get a new car.:)

Woohoo! Wow, 60 grand, you get get a fairly decent car for that!

Hmm, i like controller better, it's more easier to use.:D But yeah, it does lack realism.

The Driving Force Pro is a great steering wheel. But it's starting to get old now. Logitech have just released the ultimate steering wheel. It's called the "G25".

The steering wheel is built using real aluminum and leather and looks like a real one. And it only has 2 buttons on it so it's like the real thing. It also has a clutch pedal and a fully working 6 speed manual gear stick - leather stitched. It's also has paddle shifts of you prefer them more.

Oh yeah, good stuff! But it comes for a huge price... It's $500 Australian dollars! You could get an Xbox 360 for that!

I'll probably make a thread of this steering wheel. It's just truly amazing...

i absolutley love that steering wheel, ive tried it in my friends house and gosh it was basically awsome, the grips, its just awsome and i cant stop saying that lol...

Jamesy you are a legend what a great idea. Can't wait to start this competition. I will have some results for you on Tuesday (ANZAC Day=Day off school, YAY!) or wednesday.

Woohoo! Wow, 60 grand, you get get a fairly decent car for that!

Sorry mate. I made a thread about that wheel quite a while ago actually.

Haha double post.:p

Sorry Breakfan I beat your time in my trusty GT-R.:)

Argh. I don't have 20 grand! Do I HAVE to have a pic? I can't load any pics because I don't use imageshack and I don't have a digital camera!:mad: :(

Hello people,
Great idea Jamesy, keep doing these kind of use car w/ limited price tests. :idea:
I ll buy a car and make some laps :)

Have Fun

My GT4 doesn't work why?!?!?!?!?!?:mad: :confused: :mad: :eek: :mad: I could whoop u guys!

Muhaha, just did a few more laps, check out my cheeky time:

now thats close racing! i would like to see you guys in a multiplayer battle!

this is such a kul idea... im busy working on getting a ps2 an GT4...

i want to play sooo bad

Hehe, don't count me out yet boys. I'm still in the game. My time might be not enough to beat you, but i'm pretty close. I'll have another go tomorrow....

Sorry mate. I made a thread about that wheel quite a while ago actually.

Oh i see, don't worry, i just never knew, no hard feelings.:)

I've once again managed to improve my time :) : 1'03.181. (i reckon it'd be pretty damn hard to go quicker than that though...)

http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/6186/dsc00243or0.jpg


And after, I made an oil change (50Cr.), which means power leaps from 266HP to 294HP, and has I had already paid 19990 for the car, I don't know if that is cheating because 19990 + 50 = 20040 > 20000. I don't know if the price of the oil change was not included in those 20000Cr. we were allowed... If it WAS allowed, here is my new time:

http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/4212/dsc00241ov9.jpg

^Nah thats fine I won't count that as cheating.

Damn thats a bloody quick time. I think i've pushed my little Skyline to the limit. I can't do any better than my time.:(

Hey jamesy I'm about to do a time just wondering do I have turn driving aids off?

^Yeah its no driving aids. Is that gonna be a problem?

No, no sweet as mate. Just did a 1.03.540 but forgot to take a picture. I will do some more laps soon.

Alright, i just clocked a new time, still cant beat breakfan's time of 1:02:515 though. I got a 1:03:001, argh, so close to breaking the 1:02 barrier, but i just gave up, i drove the crap out of my car.:D

Anyways, heres the pic.

http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/3304/img0013de2.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

lol, 001, thats weird, but its awsome! i mean, if you could get it to the 1,02 mark, that would really be awsome, i mean, you guys are doing it really good, i wonder what would happen if i play it again, for almost 1-2 years...:p

Haha, I'm with you Robbie, I haven't touched it for months, and I decided to have a go at this round. Ended up with a late 90's RX-7, couldn't get under 1'04, haven't tried since :D

oh wow, thats quite good for a "long time no play" player, i cant really play it anymore, the disc was so damn scratched...and i couldnt risk of getting another copy of it because the copy of the GT4 was a chinese version (which is uber rare) and its an illegal copy...:p

New, improved time: 1'02.376.

look how much cash you've got... what's the cheat for it? i want that! lol! damn... that amount of money is actually off the scale... it's the next one up from 4 zillion. there's no such thing, though, and anything after a zillion is classed as 'infinate'. so you have infinate money! damn man...

Thats a very quick time i would take a great effort to rival that

Try lol! Buy the car for 19990 then do an oil change and it makes power up to 294HP. I bet if you were a pro, you could do less than 1'02.000 with that very car. I'm also using Logitech Driving Force Pro (manual though) which I think makes it easier...

Hehe, i have 2 memory cards. One is normal without cheats and one is with cheats. So yeah, whenever i do GT4 challenges or i need a super nice car for the GT4 pics thread, i use that file to buy any car i want lol.:p

But you need a cheats disc to activate it, theres no code, if there was i would tell you guys. You can have anything from all gold medals, 98% complete, infinite money, no time penalties, cash would refil after you spend it, X8 acceleration etc etc. It's really handy, plus i got it for 5 bux AUD!:D

You got the cheat disc for $5, where did you get it form GT King?

I'm going to Paris now for a few days so I won't be able to go onto the forum...

Here is my new improved time: 1'02.133. Every corner was taken PERFECTLY apart from the third which cost me a little time. I can't be bothered to do more, I've thrashed my car enough, it won't go any faster.

^^Wow, your good. I think you have the win in the bag.

You got the cheat disc for $5, where did you get it form GT King?

Well from my local newsagent.:p There was a sale and i went to the games section and happened to find a cheats disc for $5 which is the one i have right now.

Yea, i got the same cheat disc too, it came with a magazine which I purchased a few years back... its quite a good cheat, you can do all sort of things... I love the maximum cash, and the x8 acceleration... so damn fast, fast enough for you to hit over 1000+mph on a straight... I have also seen a cheat for GT4 which gives you massive big wheels, but I dont know where I can find that cheat...

Dam, won't be any chance I could find one at the newsagent, lol! I saw a disc at K-mart for $30 or $40 and it had GT4 cheats and other cheats for other games, I'm regretting that I didn't get it.
P.S Is this comp still going jamesy?

^Nah this ones finished now. The next comp has been made too.

Ok thanks for that Jamesy. Second comp looks good.
