Gran Turismo 5!!!!!! Out Today!

[MattRose]

I don't want people to think I'm nerding out hard here but I'm going to do my best to replicate my in car dimensions. Once I have the G25/G27 I'll be buying the adapter to run my sparco deep dish wheel, and make up for the discrepancy between my hub length and the adapter length.
- Measure the height from the ground to the center of my wheel in my skyline
- Measure where I usually put my seat. (I'll probably take my seat out for the winter anyways)
- Measure the distance the shifter is (in neutral) fron the center of my steering wheel)
- Measure the distance the pedals are from the seat, and from the wheel

And just make a little frame out of some 1x1 wood. (Have lots left over when parents were boxing in the pillars in our basement)


Overall it might take me a few hours to do, but the final product will be the closest replication of driving my car I can make without spending stupid money this winter. I just need to figure out how to put my shift knob on

So, how is it?

I hear GT5 is ok, but didn't really live up to all the hype. Everyone's saying 8/10. I would have bought a PS3 if it was a 10, but I'm thinking I'll just hold out for Forza 4!

an4k1 did you fabricate the tubing or is that a premade kit?

sweet setup for sure

id love to see it in person some time

The photomode is about the only thing that really has me wanting to play the game. Everything else from what I've heard has been quite dissapointing. I don't understand how a developer can spend 6 years to make a game, justifying that time by saying "it's to make it as good as we can," and then the game is finally released and it seems as though they spent 6 years modelling 200 cars and the rest is just ported in.

I also laugh at how the GT5 fanboys have always said Forza 3 is just what Forza 2 should have been. But then when GT5 turns out to be more like GT4.2 they are making excuses up the ying yang, lol!

The frame and seat is a kit, called obutto ozone found here: http://www.obutto.com/home.html
The rest is my handy work (button pod, lcd read out, gear display, butt kickers)

I'm having a blast in GT5 right now, I've kinda moved away from racing right now (yay for bspec making me money). Drifting is to much fun, and the online lobbies are almost perfect the way they are set up.

I have 3 main tire eaters right now, 88 Mk3 Supra(ma70), S13 coupe, and my favorite car (because I own one?) my R32 GTS-T currently making 350rwhp shooting for 400.



(ive pulled the -10 camber out of the car now lmao)
