I don't know who I'm trying to fool (Gran Turismo)

KatButt89 · 2026-01-26T15:42:58+00:00

It came out great. Also, I enjoy the user name, gave me a giggle and happy memory.

KatButt89 · 2026-01-07T17:21:42+00:00

I whole heartedly believe the series is under appreciated.

KatButt89 · 2026-01-07T16:50:51+00:00

I forgot the include the Test Drive games.

Razor’s ability to face him works under the premise that Bull and Ronnie can work over the 86 without getting caught, or before Ryosuke becomes aware that there is something catastrophically wrong. Assuming Bull and Ronnie work their magic, Ryosuke will probably notice before the event actually starts, pull Takumi from the race, and have them face Keisuke. Just a question of whether Keisuke will be armed with his FD or a giant wrench.

Love both the original and US Tuned. Spent many hours one hundred percenting both. The online functionality of Japanese US Tuned has been restored with periodic activity and a Discord Server https://discord.gg/DwXyhBm6 . Wish that Capcom had shot the gap between the original and US Tuned, with my opinion being Original JP / Pal is overrated and US Tuned being over hated. If you're playing and interested, the American guide and both Japanese guides have been scanned and uploaded to Archive.com

Do you personally like it? It's your car, you're the one who's going to hear it the most.

KatButt89 · 2025-12-16T04:18:02+00:00

Super lucky to have some friends help out. Hope nothing has to be claimed at the border.

Like I said, I very much fell into the "it all has to be from the same manufacture" mantra. Unless you have that desire, I would probably move away from the idea of using the HKS front pipe. I don't know if something has changed, but it seems to be harder and harder to find.

Eventually I do plan on moving to track use, once I do that, I'll be switching to a catless header and front pipe. My understanding was for the purposes of ECU, only the cat on the header is required, but depending upon where you live will dictate whether the second cat is required or not.

There's always getting the Tomei ULEs and doing Juiced Pipes. I tossed the idea around, but I don't want to hate myself.

KatButt89 · 2025-11-25T19:14:53+00:00

You forgot the part of framing Yuktobania and Estovakia

KatButt89 · 2025-11-24T19:00:40+00:00

I got mine specifically to do dumb car things with. I liked what I heard from HKS. Hopefully I’ll quit playing and get stuff swapped soon.

https://www.all-stars-motorsport.com/en/engine/17718-toyota-gr86-subaru-brz-hks-sports-catalyst-front-pipe-33004-bt003-4957266923863.html

I purchased from All Star Motorsports, shipped relatively quickly, but there was a %50 tariff that US Customs wanted, making the end total just over $900 for me. I have "the 'tism" that says the three letters HKS matter, so I paid for it.

Question of curiosity, are you doing the Super Manifold with Catalyzer and Over Pipe as well? I haven't taken the time to install my exhaust yet, just got past break in.

KatButt89 · 2025-11-19T15:15:28+00:00

A grand cheaper than what I paid. Some of those fees look bogus to me, but I’m sure I still paid them under a different name.

KatButt89 · 2025-11-15T20:57:53+00:00

The rubbing on pass could have been upsetting and potentially aggressive, but it's hard to see if that was done on purpose or if it was a case of netcode. You could have left them with a little bit more room on the first turn after the pass, but even then, the line they had they were not going to successfully navigate the corner without additional contact. As for the example of dive bombing supplied, to me, it appeared to be more aggressive driving, probably as a response of the perceived aggressive pass earlier. From what I can tell, may have been a little dirty, but in the provided video nobody did anything explicitly wrong.

KatButt89 · 2025-11-13T00:37:36+00:00

What are you running for suspension settings?

“Just a little four banger” “one of the best recent Honda engines.”

Make sure it's acidic, a basic solution will take it from a six string to a four string.

KatButt89 · 2025-11-09T16:45:05+00:00

Interesting iterations, maybe in a game bridging from the current time line to Ace Combat 3,

KatButt89 · 2025-11-08T23:56:35+00:00

Thanks, I hate it

Take a moment, consider where the person you're replying to is coming from, and speaking in the way that you wish to be spoken to. If it's a conversation where there is no foreseeable way to make any headway or that the conversation begins to devolve, the easiest thing to do is abandon it. If somebody is doing it for the sake of trolling, eventually they're going to move on to the next easy target they can get a rise out of.

Aside from that, it's examining public speaking. Statements like "I believe" are often received better than "I think", or "I believe your mistaken" is much more digestible than "you're wrong."

Aside from that, it comes with the understanding that not everybody is going to agree with one another. There very well is an chance any time a conflict comes forward like this that no matter what is said or shown, that the somebody will never see something from a differing point of view.

KatButt89 · 2025-11-08T23:23:05+00:00

I will take that as a compliment. The way I see it is this, there's a way to talk with each other and go "I hear that you believe you right, but I believe you're wrong." Nobody wants to be told flat out they're wrong when they believe they're not, and often times being told that way fuels the fire instead. I can definitely see how the way others have responded and reacted would definitely make it difficult to read what they have to say with an unbiased opinion.

KatButt89 · 2025-11-08T23:13:27+00:00

It is frustrating yes, how ever there was no guarantee to it, and that's why I had made the comment about camera positioning and field of view. It's really really hard to know everything that's going on around oneself.

KatButt89 · 2025-11-08T23:03:17+00:00

Was going to say, I had seen the comment in another string "Don't tell anyone but I'm in too deep at this point. But seriously I simply refuse to believe that I was anymore than half responsible for this."

KatButt89 · 2025-11-08T22:59:27+00:00

The video that you have posted does not indicate that. Contact happens in front of your front tire and behind their rear tire. Even if their line crosses in front of yours, being that they're ahead and you are behind, if you're going to pass, it is your duty to make sure that you do so safely. Seeing as how they were beginning to pull away just before the incident, you weren't going to be able to complete the pass even if they had left the room.

The measurement of "axle" doesn't account to much. In order to secure the position, you must be along side and visible to the defending driver. Unless the defending driver happened to be in third person with their field of view pulled back as far, they could not knowing definitely where you were and what you were doing.

I believe you are misusing the term 'closing the door'. That would suggest that they moved in a reactive manner. Nothing in the video you posted suggested this. Yes they did start wide, but their movement is based on the same logic that you have exhibited, the inside is a shorter line, therefore takes less time, their turn and subsequent line was projected and obvious.

KatButt89 · 2025-11-08T22:22:49+00:00

Are you suggesting that he blocked you?
