looks good though the front bar looks a little HSV with those Spotties... I like it though...

licenses come from GT4-prologue, 100,000 credits comes from GT3... But still, you got to 'HOME' and read what it says at the bottom of the screen, I think it was 'press START to load history' from memory... you can have the Prologue and GT3 samed games in either Memory slot as it will read through both of them in sequence, if you have it in #2 you will get a message saying No Data found in Memory Slot #1 don't panic, just say OK, and it will eventually find the stuff it needs in Slot #2 Cheers Dylan PS... once I get a Flash drive I'll post some pics of my RunX, I took it in the Japanese Championship against a Skyline, RX7, RX8, WRX and NSX and was not too shabby, was stronger under braking then all the other cars (with standard brakes mind you too) but lost out down the straight (at 90's Fugi) I came out of the last corner in 3rd on the tail of the WRX and finished 5th trying hard to block the RX7 and RX8 from flying past (failing :( ) the NSX won and the poor Skyline R34 was last :D But as there was no chance I could win with the lack of top end speed I stopped the campionship after that race, will upgrade the gearbox and try again...

I'll still wait for the baseline run before I make changes, but if we get out for a track day soon the mods will come to me quicker... ;)

If I ever come across a Honda CRV Sport again it will be too soon... <_< <_<

more....

Cheers EGG80X was good to meet you and the other echos there, it was mad there though with the REDLINE cruise... But we had a great day, 6 of us cruised down to Wollongong and met Zee and then 5 of us continued to drive on a few of the mountain passes, just finished a little while ago... Here's some pics for you all... EDIT: fixed up the last pic

OMG... I thought everything was good with the gearbox once the clutch was fixed???

mine the same... a little bit of movement (small blips) but hardly any superballesque bouce

2 days to go....... This cruise is THIS SUNDAY!!!! if everyone shows this will be a great cruise... The meeting place is still the car park opposite P6 at 9:30 (the REDLINE guys are setting up early so even though we are meeting before them there will be quite a crowd in P6 at the same time... could make for some good pics) I'll try to be there early (9-9:15 depending on traffic) so look out for my Blue baby. we will leave at 10 SHARP!!! Those that have expresed interest are... 1) Blue_Stivo 2) Screeminrolla 3) !*heatseca*! 4) obsessionz 5) waiwong38 6) EGG80X 7) sop11e - plus several mates 8) Xoom (tentative yes) 9) Qkslvr 10) KoroLa883 11) ZEEROLLA 12) influx (maybe) 13) yekim (maybe) 14) BlackRolla (meet only) 15) Roll*U*Down 16) SCO-77K (maybe) 17) 18) 19) ... .. . . . .

I spent most of my time enjoying scenery at the Nurburgring and taking happy snaps. I didn't spend a great deal of time racing as I had things I had to do. I was on it for about 2-3 hours just learning my way around all the menus... I've decided to try and to 2 games 1 where I get the assistance from the other games (GT4 prologue and GT3) and one where I start from scratch... and see which way works better. I must say I am a bit dissapointed by the tuning zone, I thought there would be more choice and variations in performance between the companies but as far as I can tell it's just a plug for the various tuning houses. 1 thing I do like about it though is the way the icons for the different houses turn YELLOW for the ones you can use for the particular car you have... Oh and did anyone else notice that when you go into the menu for the 'original circuits' it plays the menu music from the original Gran Tourismo... Call me crazy but it's the little things like that, that I just can't get over about this game, they really have gone all out to cram as much onto 1 DVD as is possible... and the fact that you can set units to kW and Nm I just love, did you notice the RunX has only 139 kW where as the Lotus Elise 111R has 141kW (didn't compare the celica though)

The CTP, Compulsory Third Party, I think this kind of insurance is compulsory for anywhere in the world for the registration of a car ~!! Have a read at this :) http://www.maa.nsw.gov.au/greenslips11whatis.htm ← Most states in Aus have CTP incorporated into the Registration charges (underwritten by the local motor authority, RACV, RAA, etc), but NSW and Qld, for the sake of competition, have privitised the CTP system to a number of insurance firms so vendors can get the best deal (and so insurance companies can charge rediculous amounts for young and inexperienced drivers ). Personally I liked the system in South Aus where you get a bill for ~$550 (or whatever it is now!!!) and you can choose how long you want to pay... 3, 6 or 12 months with charged adjusted accordingly and discounted for longer registration time (this includes rego and CTP in the one bill). I find the system in NSW a lot of hastle and running around for no real benefit in the end, I just get more frustrated with the insurance companies...

Way tooooooo much information lucio ← Yay for event catering... :P

I did :D... They didn't have blue so I 'Blitzed' a dark purple one... the thing goes like a rocket now... Edited for spelling

Got my copy and an open evening also... Might just have to take a few early minutes to get as much time as possible, I'm predicting not much sleep tonight and blurry eyes tomorrow...

Cheers Cooley... I'll get on it

it's a good idea EGG but too many changes could get confusing, I think we'll just stick with the car park opposite P6, you can always bring the OZECHO boys round... What time are you meeting? But went on a Reccy tonight, and roads look very clear other then some roadworks around Shoalhaven Heads but I've modified the route to compensate... The only piece of road we are doing twice in the stretch between Kiama and Gerringong (about 10 Kms) so pretty good... and a nice blend of twisty mountain passes and some nice comfortable cruising sections (and great views), some hairpins I even had to get into 1st for they were so tight, should be a lot of fun if we get a free run!!! :D :D

I think Toyota Australia didn't import the Avensis Sedan model because it would impact on the Australian Built Camry market... Camry owners are starting to get into the mod scene but still it is historically a placid car but the Sportivo Model attempted to change that, and it seems to be working...

Bad news Zee... Took the Service manager for a spin when I picked the car up as he could not diagnose an issue (but admitted that he didn't try at above 7000RPM) had a nice long chat about issues with the clutch adjustment and said all they can do is move the height as it is all hydrolic, but it has been noted that I have an issue with the clutch (the more notice given the better chance to Toyota fixing it) and until Toyota put out a formal statement and recall on this issue he is not prepared to look at it as it does not interfere with my 'normal' driving. He also mentioned that 2 other Stivos serviced there reported similar issues (I assumed one was yours...) so... I'll be giving Sydney City a call next week to see what I can line up. A bit of a trip but one I feel is worth it to fix this issue... If you want to book to get both cars looked at together we could do that, will discuss on Sunday... If Blackrolla is there on Sun before the cruise I'll have a chat to see what he did also. Cheers Dylan

you're definately on the road to enlightenment..... :P

I don't think they have this problem in Queensland!!!

This is the Avensis model we have available... a bit of a family/soccer mum car similar to the Honda Odysey, not really the on-line forum type of person I think!!! I've seen a few on the street though.. Check out Toyota Avensis

that's one shiny looking Stivo Tom.. welcome :)

first thought... makes me think of those old-skool vans they had in the US (Bedfords) and cameras that record the shennanigans and hyjinx that go on in the back of those things :P

2 more days.... :D
