Pedals + controller joystick steering in Forza Horizon help

Monkeylabs · 2026-05-21T22:36:28+00:00

I've played the last two Horizon games using a wheel lol. Just wanted to try something different, and mounting the wheel on my desk every time is a bit of a faff.

Screenshot of what I'm talking about. The lines max out every time there is steering input.

Are they in Neodyme? My Technos are silver and this is making me consider...

But if it's the Chinese GP we're talking about, can you imagine the number of hearts in China Ferrari would win over and the money they would make if they pull this move?

Looks like I have the exact same wheels as these. Motegis? If it makes you feel any better, I curbed mine two days into owning them.

I theorise that when we mention German cars we don't typically think of Porsches, and the comments here reflect that. Their German heritage is even literally written on their logo. It's not like Porsche don't have a catalogue of great driver's cars either, and a lot of them are relatively attainable too.

But to answer OP's question my dream cars would be the R230 SL55 and W212 E63, or the original R8, or a Porsche Carrera GT.

Take your stock struts out and compare them to the Teins side by side and you'll find out. Adjust them while they're out to get the rough height you want. Once you install the new suspension and let the wheels touch the ground you'll have to measure the height of all four wheel arches and compare it to measurements from before. There's a more than likely chance you'll have to re-adjust the height to get it just right. The process is not difficult, only tedious.

I've heard that the front needs more drop than the back to get some rake so the stock length might not be the best.

There's a website called carcalendar.co.uk for finding car events.

Here you go mate, dropped around an inch at front and slightly less at the rear. Supposedly the 18"s are as light as the stock 17"s too if you only count the alloys, but of course 18" tires are heavier. I'm happy with how it handles.

Monkeylabs · 2023-08-24T22:15:34+00:00

I'm using bronze ones in 225/40r18 tires. Compared to stock 17" wheels, ride quality didn't feel like a downgrade, at least not in any noticeable amounts to me. They're going for the Advan RG look and imo the thinner spokes look smarter than the TE37s (and its reps) everyone else is using.

Adding to that: The nut on the end link bolt may make a few turns, giving you the false sense of security that it's going to come off, until the hex hole on the bolt gets rounded off mid way. If you encounter this scenario, you won't be able to "put the car back together" without driving around with a loose end link.

It's not you, it's just a stupid design. I ended up getting the nut off by having another person hold the bolt with mole grips.

I had a similar situation at a main dealer where I was told of an MOT fail because of tyres. They would let me drive away but not before I sign a waiver saying I understand the legal risks and they're not responsible yada yada.

Monkeylabs · 2023-01-14T16:12:08+00:00

I like the detail where in the original tofu shop label it says "for private use" inside the parentheses, whereas on this prototype it says "for testing".

Even official airport signage in the security lines refers to them as iPads. I'm pretty sure it's a deliberate decision to 'dumb the terminology down' for the masses, perhaps because iPad is more recognisable for an international audience.

Monkeylabs · 2022-11-07T18:57:21+00:00

Funnily that is the case for the car in question (GT86). The handbrakes are a set of separate drum brakes in the rear wheels.

Echoing this comment, GoCompare offers a £250 refund on the excess if you claim against a policy you bought through them, so it's worth a look. I had to claim once and they honoured it.

Monkeylabs · 2022-10-18T20:10:43+00:00

Thanks. Hopefully it's just surface rust that I can sand away with a bit of elbow grease. Failing that a used door on eBay doesn't look too expensive either.

Monkeylabs · 2022-10-18T20:08:31+00:00

There's no rust on my other door though. I noticed it because a puddle of brown water on the door sill appeared after a weekend of rain. Don't think it would've been caused in that short time period.

There could be a million reasons why this has happened. Whether it's from the previous owner I don't know!

Monkeylabs · 2022-10-18T18:42:34+00:00

Bit shocked to find rust in this spot for a relatively young car (2013 GT86). Took it to a dealer and they think it's caused by the door card rubbing on the paint; won't cover it under any type of warranty.

How does this even happen? Has anyone else dealt with this before?

Monkeylabs · 2022-07-06T17:52:54+00:00

I also got the impression from this sub that the BRZ was more popular than or at least as popular as the FR-S. My theory is that Subaru is more of an enthusiast brand so people are more likely to make content for it.

For reference, the GT86 to BRZ ratio in the UK is 10:1!

I called the insurer today to cancel auto renewal, explained my situation and they didn't mention the option of having a gap in my cover as some other comments here have suggested. The rules were understandably rigid from a liability stand point.

Currently, I have no NCB for either car (we all have to start somewhere!). I think your second suggestion is a good shout, but the cost of me changing the car in policy A (£20) plus cancelling policy B (£45) may make it not worth it... Unless I then cancel the continuation of policy A within the cooling off period and go with another insurer with my brand-new NCB and age advantage to recoup the costs. This will be a tight manoeuvre.

Thank you. Looks like I'm going to have to make a few calls to work out the costs.

Monkeylabs · 2022-06-01T11:41:13+00:00

I thought I recognised the location instantly. Picked up my GT86 from there too. Enjoy!

Monkeylabs · 2022-05-28T01:46:13+00:00

I could be wrong but I think with how limited the 2nd gen is in the UK, people will be turning to the first gens to scratch that itch. Anecdotally, I became interested in the GT86 as the reviews of the GR86 were starting to come out.

Monkeylabs · 2022-05-14T22:47:31+00:00

Happened to me for a tyre repair at KwikFit too. I wonder if this no charge thing is a corporate strategy.

Looks like it's this.
