  1. Is the dealership full of TDU special cars supposed to be that? Have you made room for future expansion or do I have an issue? or Are there secrets to be unlocked / found?
  2. Doesnt count, long wheelbase, twin rear wheels and super skinny fronts, maybe thats where mine gets its grip from, 18x8 " alloys and 255/60/18 tyres might help.
  3. @Milli I'm not going to be the one that tells you empty transits rarely understeer as over 60% of the weight is over the front wheels. If I ever get the chance to take my transit on a trackday I'll upload the video to back that up. I drive it like I stole it. Body roll by the bucket load but no understeer. @iZ GunDaM Havent looked for the type 2 Dub yet will have to fix that. Sounds like you are referring to one of the 'Supervan' Transits. Of course, no one in their right mind would build a transit on a race car chassis Goodwood motor racing circuit has a tasty transit. Based on, well... watch the video
  4. Thanks Milli. Don't get me wrong, I love driving the four speed leaning machine. I was just being a bit over geeky with my 'tuned Fords' thing. That being said... the stage 3 transit is mental quite a challenge to drive, very difficult to keep it in a straight line in first and second. That also seems to suffer with excessive body roll and understeer, are the two linked in some way. Sadly we don't see many 3.2L transits in the UK, mines a 2.4 and struggles to hit 110kph due to poor gearing and wind resistance.
  5. I installed Platinum last night using the following method. Sell duplicate cars, make second backup while saved driving Alfa GT. Installed Platinum, loaded OK, all good. Retained bank balance, retained houses and all the cars left in game not modified. Gained a few new cars that must have replaced the old ones, lost a few modded cars but I can live with that. Went straight out and bought a Transit Van love it. Hate driving with a pad so the G27 is coming out and i'm off for a hoon. Once again my thanks to Milli and the team who have kept this alive, love you guys. Why did I make my first purchase a transit? Because this is my daily transport. EDIT - I bought the RS1600 mk1 Escort. In standard trim the 4 gears and suspension roll are fine. At 3rd stage tuning on one of these it would have 5 gears using a type 9 ford gearbox and would also have much stiffer suspension, better anti roll bars so body roll would be greatly reduced. Understeer would also be minimised, at the moment it's a bit too light at the front. - I'm only nit picking because I've driven one and know how they handle quite well. I do still love the fact there is an original RS in this game.
  6. Well I blinked and missed this bit... I've played and streamed TDU via project paradise a couple of times using my old profile in the last few months. Not really had much time for games recently until I saw the YT video... Sat there with my chin on my desk for a while and tonight finally did the download. So impressed, utterly gobsmacked, Milli and the whole team involved with keeping this alive. Thought i'd log in and say this before I start to play with the game files. That may have to wait as it's nearly 1am here in the UK. Once again you have my thanks, who would have thought this was possible after Atari killed the servers all those years ago. To Ryzza, Pogo, Duke and all the sunday night cruisers, I'm hopeful to see you all once again on Oahu. Time to go and recreate some of those hardcore stunts we all used to love. EDIT... I just looked at my user profile... 9 years since I signed up for TDUC OMG TDU first played in 2007, Ace project done and reading through the install notes it appears I have to sell all 165 cars Is this still required or is there a work around which will allow me to keep all my current assets?
  7. Right ho lads, probably a bit late in the evening for some of the UK lads but I'm going in...
  8. Cheers lads. I'll have a play with that later. Mods... got a few already, even retained the winter mod on a separate executable... Had a drive last night and found about 35 people online, those I did bump into were all good connections so everything appears to be running better than when Atari hosted it - no surprises there then. Hi Ryan, long time mate :) Oddly enough I was showing one of your videos to one of the lads that works for me, seems he has the xbox version and was quite amazed to see what could be done on a PC :nods:
  9. First off thanks to Speeder and the TDU revamp team for being totally awesome. I was online the night the servers got killed and despite many attempts to replace my TDU addiction, I failed. I've been missing this and now you have given it back to me so thanks again. To all my old cruising buddies, Duke, Pogo, Col - time to polish the caterhams lads...;) Now my only gripe is the G27 fix is missing from the host at the end of the link on the first page, I will admit to skipping the last 40 pages of this thread as I got fed up with reading comments from other people who failed to read the first post properly.I have spent the last few nights reading the first 140 pages though... Has the G27 fix been removed or am I just missing a trick here.
  10. Hey Phil. I agree with ScoobSTi, The Crew is the closest I've seen so far and it's big... way bigger than TDU. I had a couple of hours on the beta but using the keyboard I was useless... ;)
  11. Hi Chaps. long time no see. Just like to point out that you lot have done an awesome job and shown remarkable patience with this. Well done. I'm just starting a clean install of the game from the original DVD but would like to progress it through to a fully modded version. Is there anything I need to watch for that may trip me up other than the update servers being slow? All the best and keep up the awesome work. Adrian ETA which file/folder do I need to recover from the old install to bring my profile over into the new install?
  12. Mk1 and Mk2 escort mainly but over the years Dutton used triumph donors at first, then fords. The little green one is a Legerra ZS and there were about 180 kits built between '88 and '90. 2037cc pinto, 5 speed box and RWD. 685kg dry weight. The Sierra is a 1993cc pinto, 5 speed box and also RWD, rescued from a breakers as a chassis/body and recommissionsed for less than £500 inc purchase price. Tax exempt due to the age of the original donor vehicle its just cheap motoring. Check the Dutton Owners Club gallery pages for the rest of the 'flock'. he made quite a few different ones over the years. Hmmm... Two, who said I only had two ? :nuts: I have two Legerra's, the Sierra and a Phaeton series 4, the other two are off road. --- Post Updated --- Hi Dan. :hiya: It was Duke that prompted me with a text message, its good to know most of the gang is still around and I'm sure if they ever make a server that works we'd all be back on it PDQ.
  13. An acquaintance of mine called Emily and her band Pythia...
  14. We're all still lurking Pogo, just lurking, biding our time. Old skool, H mode madness. Everything else is for wimps...;)
