Just got off a massive binge of fm3, weeeeeeeeeeee

The V8 supercars are boaty, but fast in a straight line.
The DTM cars are sweet, especially the audi one.
Most of the LMP cars rock, especially in cockpit view. Except the 908, you CANNOT see the apex of a right hander in it!

Gave multiplayer a whirl, its good fun although the game finding setup is entirely different to FM2 - and its for the better.

Forgot to add you treza, will next time!

Got it on Thursday and just love it!
Started with the Citroen, ditched it for a cheap MKI and campaigned that until I could afford a MKVI GTI.

It's such a sweet game. I couldn't touch it over the weekend (was away in Mudgee with the inlaws) but am pretty happy with how things are going.

I've been dialling the MkVI in as a tarmac rally beast for the Kaido (all hail Kaido!) and enjoying how rewarding tuning changes can be. You really can bring a car to life and find extra speed (or just change the feel of it) by tweaking suspension geometry, diff settings, tyre pressures etc etc.


The paint shop is great too. My Ken Block replica soobie has been a good steed in career mode. Sounds awesome!

Crap phone pic:

I've got a sweet B&H E30 M3 touring car as well. It's still N/A but a good little drifter. Don't have pics yet but it looks like this:


I also tried on a B5 S4 with the 5.2L V10 FSI donk in it. Crazy.
Love the game.

The Scirocco GT is pretty mean!
I just upgraded it to a Class A vehicle and haven't touched the turbo yet.

By far the best upgrade is the Race Spec Cams.

[Big Yellow]

anybody done the RS200 swap into the fiesta yet?? that thing is a beast!! hits 350km/h without breaking a sweat!!!

[team_v]

Will have to put that down as an engine swap to do.

Waiting to do a Bora engine swap soon

Shame there aren't that many wheel options for the euro scene.

There is an oversupply of JDM wheels and bling rims but hardly any Euro represent (apart from oettinger and oz/zender)

I sacrificed a MK4 R32 for an R36 twin turbo upgrade and i can't even keep it on the road lol.
It just tears away on the straights in the C Class championships.

Yeah I stuck with the twin turbo 3.2. Sounds much better. You can keep it on the road, you just have to know when to use the throttle and brake early enough. I managed a 10.3 down the quarter mile as well.

Oh yeah Preeny they've got drag racing and oval racing. Not a lot but they're there. In multiplayer as well.
The Datto 510 seems to be the record holder at the moment with 8 second passes.
I'm currently in the process of turning my 1970 Chevelle SS 454 (LS5) into a drag beasty. It's putting out 609kW and 1047.6Nm of torque. Runs a 12.8 at the moment. But the suspension is so wallowy it just squats massively off the line. It's also bored out to 7.6L at the moment.
Need to run through the suspension and weight reduction line of mods though but am lacking in funds.
