i would want BMW M3 in it. that'd be cool

Post by **Morty** » 29 Jul 2004, 23:30

I want a BMW Z4 in it... Could be fun to see what could be made out of that one...

ViperJay · Post by **ViperJay** » 30 Jul 2004, 22:23

a Z4 would be a nice car in the game, but this time I'd like to see spider cars with no hard-top, with the top open...I know it's an added difficult in game modelling (and when you have to race you'd better keep the top closed) but it would be very nice...wind in hairs

I don't know if this has been done either but what cars would you like to see?
heres my list

dodge neon srt-4
spoon civic
spoon integra
mugen s-2000
mugen nsx
maybe a mustang
s-10 or ford ranger
nissan 300zx
silva
altezza(i know theres a is300)

what do u guys think?

Post by **TheStig** » 31 Jul 2004, 00:49

not logical to have premade tuned cars eh... spoon, muggen??

and I think the IS300 will be for the US players a Toyota Altezza. )just like the Mazda MX-5 was/is in NFS U1 a Mazda Miata, and the Hyundia CoupÃ© for the US a Tiburion is.

so will probable the IS300 be a Altezzam (cause it simply is the same car.)

I like the fact that you put in a 300ZX...

but a S-10.... isn't that something horrible like a PICK-UP...??? same as the ranger...

and the Silvia....wich??? silvia??? cause there are dozens of types of Silvia's (like the 240SX is also a silvia)

Should have the S14A.

Stig - An S10 (although I doubt its the one he means, I think he might mean SRT-10)

Yea, what I was thinking.

Why do you want a M3 if it's the same if you put the 3 series in it.

Why a Spoon Civic and no normal Civic?

Hey dudes, I just got NFSU2, and completed the game when I created a new profile.

aha thanks

love the duck in yours

Post by **Morty** » 31 Jul 2004, 04:01

Well, the Spoon and Mugens could be used as bonus cars. Not for use online tho... Same as premade Skylines...

I'd rather have those than the bonus cars in NFSU1 with stock engines...

i would definitely want pink slips in nfs:ug2 would be good, but risky

it will be very challenging. Oh and lets not forget a dyno also

^Sparco^ · Post by **^Sparco^** » 31 Jul 2004, 10:42

Yeah I want pink slips too. Nfs4 money system was great I mean you could lose and get "game over" which is impossible in nfshp2 and nfsu1 (you can always restart race and nothing bad happens)

What is exactly a "dyno" ???

Grez~Supra_RZ-S · Post by **Grez~Supra_RZ-S** » 31 Jul 2004, 12:16

A dynamometer. Also known as a rolling road. The driving wheels (eg rear) are then put onto a metal cylinder. Two large fans are put in front of the car to ensure cold air gets into the engine. The car is then 'driven', although it doesnt move.

Its basically so that you can tell the power output of a car. As you may know, cars lose power through the transmission. A stock Supra has 326bhp at the flywheel, to measure how much power is lost, they do it at the wheels. This is why you see BHP (flywheel) and RWHP (rear wheel horse power - on RWD cars obviously).

At Billing, a Supra RZ was dyno'd at 235rwhp.

Post by **Morty** » 31 Jul 2004, 17:10

I got a movie of a Supra being dyno'd on my other computer... 876 hp... It's insane...

Read it, and then you will understand why is Hummer H2 in the game....

Yep, that's pretty much it. There is a problem with those however. there are SO MANY different factors that make an effect on the reading that you can write a few pages! In short, it's from air quality down to the wear of the anti-slipping rollers. Those aren't very accurate in the long run, not as the 'rotor' type dyno - where the power is read out not from a wheel, but from the (don't know the english word) thing that the wheel is bolted on.

I've also heard that the accuracy of the reading depends a lot on how tight the car is fixed with the belts.

BTW, all readings you get from dyno have to be in watts. Not in HP, PS, or BHP. In fact (and this is rarely mentioned and few people know), BHP and HP are slightly different values - beacause HP are a european value calculated using a metric system, and BHP is a English/US value that's calculated using imperial system! As a result, the BHP is about 1.4% less than HP.

Dyno tests need to be done during 3 hours afaik and better be measured about 3 times to get the accurate reading. The power output may vary between different places by some 20%, so when you do one in real one - make sure you find the more professional type!

Hey dudes, I just got NFSU2, and completed the game when I created a new profile.

Uhhmmm unless I have been sleeping for like 3 months

, but NFSU 2 is not out yet.

So it's highly unlikely that you've played & completed NFSU 2

^Sparco^ · Post by **^Sparco^** » 02 Aug 2004, 11:38

If you have completed nfsu2, then I have got a ATI X800 special edition

Just Me · Post by **Just Me** » 02 Aug 2004, 11:56

Same here. Maybey you made type error PSZeta?

You haven't followed the discussion lately, have you?

He was just responding to TheStig's idea about a fully tuned Blitz Skyline R34. You know, humour...
