I'll be getting the PS4 on release and maybe Xbone next year or the year after depending on if there are decent amount of exclusives. Don't really use my PC for gaming other than SimCity and pCARS when I get around to downloading it again.

2 hours to get across the map, maybe an hour to get down the side, 2 hours to get back across the map and then another hour to go back up to complete the lap. :eek: Many many times bigger.

TDU took less than an hour to get around the entire island. Even less to coast to coast.

Added the live demo gameplay to the first post for anyone who missed it.

I can't scoop my jaw from the floor. It look very arcade like but extremely fun and more open that TDU. Even bigger than TDU2 by the looks of it too. Nice selection of car and upgrades. And just :drool:

You can get Fable 3 for free on Xbox live right now. Find it on the marketplace and choose pay by MS points and you can download it free. You do need to be an XBL Gold member to do this though. Not sure why they're doing this or if it's an E3 or something but hey, can't complain, it's free!

You do know you can turn it completely off, right?

Good idea, it's what I'm doing too. The only reason I got pretty much new everything for my suspension is to get it setup properly for fast road and it should handle miles better. I could drop it pretty much to the floor and give it stupid amounts of negative camber or "stance" but to me it looks ridiculous and will also make it handle like a damp flannel.

Nice. The 912s are brilliant tyres for me. Will look much better when lowered too.

Oh dear lord. :eek:

Was unable to free the seized pistons in my calipers so ordered some "new" reconditioned ones as nobody makes these anymore. Got a good deal at £50 a side including the pistons and seals. Now I need to sell the new pistons and seals I have. >.< At least it's saved me the job of cleaning them! :lol:

Eugh I take my :chairfall: back then.

:chairfall:

I'll be pre-ordering one for release day. And then probably get the other when it's cheaper/on sale sometime next year. Not sure which I'll get first yet.

:chairfall:

Made some headway today. Got the ball joint splitter so managed to get the wheel hub off, bottom suspension arm, and tie-bar are almost off. Managed to reseat the rubber cone spring with the main bolt still in. Also got one of the driveshafts out of the diff along with the inboard V/pot joint with subsequently decided to pretty much explode, covering everything in old thick black including my entire face and hair. :lol: It shouldn't have oil in it anyway! Good job I planned ahead and had got the new oil seals that go behind the pot joint. That will be where most of my oil too as I had been using half a litre every week or two. Also got stuck under the car. I have quite broad shoulders and well, the car is small so the axle stands are fairly close together. I managed to get between them fine and get my arms though but could I get out? Hell no. I couldn't keep going towards the back or side of the car because the exhaust downpipe was in the way and I couldn't get my arms back through between the axle stands without hitting them and possibly making the car fall on me. Over half an hour and many cramps later i got free. :lol:

So you'd rather be shot in the head than be friendzoned? :hmmm: There are ~3,500,000,000 other women out there...

I paid some of it on my card and have the bank statement to prove it which has the date. 6 days after that I also had the car tracked and have the printout with the date on it. That shows that he tracked one front with dead ahead with 0mm toe in and the other wheel he put 2.8mm toe in on it and a bit toe in on a Mini can severely effect the handling of the car and make it unpredictable, never mind so much on just one wheel. And the postman also decided to put the missed delivery card through the door before even knocking very quietly on the door so I still don't have the tool I need until tomorrow. How nice of him.

Looks like I'm going to another £400-500 out of pocket thanks to that garage. Found out today that the gentleman sausage that worked on my car has crossthreaded one of 2 of the main bolts that connect the car body to the front subframe that holds the engine and suspension. This is very bad for a number of reasons. One being that I will need a new front subframe costing £375 + postage which will probably be another£40 or so as they are big and heavy. Or I could get a garage(Not going to happen. Only going to use a garage for MOT and tracking) to drill out the knackered thread and insert a helicoil into the hole to create a new thread on a rather safety crucial area of the car. No thanks. The second being that because the bolt is crossthreaded I can't move the bolt at all. I even sheered a decent 1/2" thick metal extension bar for my 18" torque wrench. And because the bolt is connecting the car body to the subframe, I can't remove the subframe from the car! The third being that because the car has no suspension and I can't refit any due to not being able to remove the bolt, I am unable to move the car and get it to somewhere that has an air impact fun that could possibly remove the bolt or a powerful enough drill to drill through the rather large heavy duty bolt. So whatever happens, I'll be off the road for quite some time. And I can't really do anything to the "mechanic" who did the work because he's about a foot taller than me and about 5 of me stuck together in width. So if I do lose my temper with him it'd probably hurt my hand more than him. Moral of the story, don't trust mechanics especially if they're tall, fat, German and named Ike.

You'd cry if you saw my car at the moment then! :p I think I counted 5 bird craps on it... None around the car, they're all on my car. >.<

Oh no! Leaving a car outside in the sun WHAT IS HIS WORLD COMING TOO??????? :cheeky:

Can my weekend start Monday? The tool I need won't be here till then. :( Reckon I could manage it with my brothers help over 2 days. Hoping there are no major issues after I've got the hubs off. Also going to replace the suspension cones that I paid someone to do and they didn't do it. First, and last time that I use a garage for anything apart from my MOT which is due in 5 days. :( So if I don't get it done by Wednesday I won't be able to get it tracked before the MOT or drive it. :(

Car parts came. :) 10 litres of oil because why not? 2 new track rod ends because I butchered the old ones, needed replacing anyway. 8 ball joints because I only needed 4... Didn't know they came in pairs. Rear tracking brackets for camber an tracking. New brake hoses all round. Current ones looked past their best. 4 new pistons for the callipers. 2 inner CV joints that connect the driveshafts to the diff. 4 KYB uprated gas shock absorbers 2 heavy duty tie-rods because I have a tendency of being forced off the road by lorries. :lol: These won't bend 2 adjustable lower suspension arms for tracking and camber. Among other smaller things like calliper piston seals, diff oil seals, bushes and brake fluid.

All my shinies came today! Couldn't fit them because the tool I need isn't here yet and the hammers wouldn't shock the ball joints apart. I only succeeded in accidentally popping a piston out of the calliper getting brake fluid everywhere, deafening myself hitting the ball joints with the hammer and smashed my wrist... again. But pictures! 10 litres of oil because why not? 2 new track rod ends because I butchered the old ones, needed replacing anyway. 8 ball joints because I only needed 4... Didn't know they came in pairs. Rear tracking brackets for camber an tracking. New brake hoses all round.

That looks awesome. I'll be forever bobbing around in that. :lol:
