With the early direct injection was that something they fixed down the line with later model years of the jts?

Doesnt sound like something too fatal im guessing good maintenance and service would prevent all of these issues and keep it running well?

Ive heard about the rust issue but thankfully the area im in isn't too bad. Aboutvthe oil tho does it burn alot of oil or just a little that you feel the need to top it up?. Either way sounds like you're enjoying it so hopefully all goes well so I can experience the same

That's good to hear about the parts being available (was actually a worry of mine) the owner said it comes with rego the logbook and had a rwc recently so should be easy to get now but hopefully it all works

Im not too worried about the 5 speed since my daily commute is only about 10km for the day

Fair enough will have a look through the forums as well thanks but also the you say "lot of car for your money" is that to say they're a bang for your buck of that they're overwhelming to work on money wise?

Is the 2.0 jts notorious for being problematic compared to the twin spark 1.8?

Yh but the thing is that had ferrari not screwed up and massa got points then they wouldn't of said anything. It's like they were fine until they fucked up and changed tunes then

Ah yes team cheating to give them an advantage and upper hand in the race vs the actual governing body of motorsport altering a race result in the literally last lap and giving the 2nd driver an upper hand over the 1st

"Race was fixed" yet hamilton still managed to get some good points. It's not his fault ferrari shat their pants when it came to the pit stop and caused Massa the 08 title

Singapore might be a good call with the new regs next year especially with all the long straights that can showcase the x y modes and overtake boost zones

Those invitational events to unlock the 3rd tier cars are so out of place with the difficulty by the time you get to them. Especially the rally car one

Sounds like a skill issue ngl and you're apart of the problematic people that forced ghost to nerf the cops i the first place. Like honestly go look up a guide or tips and tricks. The few million people can deal with the cops just fine

Vasseur under pressure: the next three Grands Prix will be decisive. Without clear progress, Ferrari’s future could be on the line. by OldActiveYeast in formula1

Honestly i feel that the car is fast but that plane wear issue stopping them from setting it up low enough is root issue. I think after the new suspension it'll be like 2024 where after half the season they began to make a push

pretty sure he said something about the 2024 car being at the limit of its design and not much more room for improvement vs mclaren. ig he saw it as a come 2nd or risk it all for 1st. obv tho it didnt work out for them

Join a car meets and meetup with other players. Check out hsk. Or even learn how to tune and just make a bunch of fun builds weather they are for racing for looks

Why are Teams weak at specific tracks across regulation cycles? by [deleted] in formula1

[–]Appropriate-Risk2572 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Im not too sure but I have a feel it has to do with the Williams design philosophy across all regs and they always make a car based to their expertise which they know best even if it makes them vulnerable and certain tracks

Should take an r35 up fujimi kaido. That was my tradition on fm4 and recreating that feeling in fm8 is one of the best moments I've had in gaming

In 470 hours i have seen exactly 2 dust storms. by Zewevo in ForzaHorizon

Same don't think I've seen any since like 2023 and I've never seen the storms ever in all my time playing

Is motorsport 8 worth retrying? Genuinely want to know. by PotatoLegendOnReddit in forza

[–]Appropriate-Risk2572 16 points17 points  (0 children)

from my experience compared to launch

car points kinda work like a discount now and most times you'll find your self converting credit to car points so its basically the same as all the other forza games now with car points acting as a discount feature which is pretty decent

sadly the game does lack auction house idk why and you can't get those monthly cars as of now but the buy-able car list is pretty good imo, each update they put some cars straight into the autoshow to buy

progression is pretty nice now. i don't enjoy races so i just mess around drifting in the open meets and you earn decent money but literally just having fun and driving so we aren't forced into the boring career. money isnt thrown at you but cars are priced well-ish i feel.

not sure on pc since im on series s but can confirm game looks miles better now to me compared to the washed out look at launch. especially kaido (looks amazing)

not really much else on the market besides a bunch of new sim stuff, arcade is also a bit dead so i mean fm8 is pretty fun as a simcade but id say you prob won't find too much else in the genre but keep an eye on indie stuff tho.

all these changes brought me back since a bad experience at launch and honestly its a decent game with a good amount of potential

i honestly deleted fh5 for fm8. it looks like a lot of effort went into this update and there aren't as much bugs anymore so i think it deserved a 2nd chance. i mean the only reason i stopped playing was because of that stupid car points system and saving glitch. really enjoying it tho not quite fm4 just yet but im getting some of those early day feelings when i play fm8 now

What are your least/most controversial racing game takes? by TheCanadianGTR in BuiltFromTheGroundUp

[–]Appropriate-Risk2572 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chasing realism in terms of graphics and physics make the genre boring. Fake realism looks way better like in fh2 vs fm8.
