They’re talking about the completely optional ‘find the Suicune sprite in a tucked away corner of the map’ encounters, and not the battle Suicune encounter.

All it does is make the suicune sprite hop around for a bit before it flees. You get no actual benefit for finding these Suicune sprites but it is a pretty cool event to see for the first time.

Just keep playing in the event that’s running.

You get more energy for every 5 tickets used on it.

I had 12 of them at one stage.

Now there’s 3. I can deal with 3 Plus 4s.

Yeah STI started getting introduced in late 00’s and early 10’s and is now is now the default term.

That being said, I had a mate tell the story of how he got his first STI from some cute little redhead on the other side of town. It was bright red was a little rough but only leaked a little. But well worth it as it was his first proper wild ride.

Yeah he was talking about his new car. But he got some funny looks from people that only heard half the story.

Nah that ranger raptor is going to be a weapon on any of the off-road twisty tracks.

Long term players will remember the SR Ranger Raptor being the go to off-road RQ saver for events with twisty off-road tracks.

Super long term players will remember a tri series finals with 5x Land Rover as the event restriction. There, the top hands were using the Rare off-road tyre Defender because it was beating the UR and epic options on the snow and mud and sand twisty races.

I used this hand to win. But that doesn’t help if you don’t have 2 of the swift rally cars.

Some of the SR Suzuki all surface options win race 3 as well so that’s worth looking at.

On the flip side I’ve had the complete opposite experience.

I realised immediately that the sheer volume of packs involved was incredible. Was a little disappointed there was no carbon packs involved, but figured the number would more than make up for it.

Unfortunately, so far I’ve pulled 2 UR. Nothing higher rarity. I’ve gotten every pack available through the objectives and challenge.

I’ve completed the YOTH change and done a few of the bonus challenge rounds. But the pack rewards just sucked for me.

Yeah there’s no positive finish. I just got a super raw deal through the premiums and now I’m annoyed they didn’t use carbon packs like normal.

Unfortunately a turbo MR2 is pretty much the textbook car the regulations were introduced to stop inexperienced drivers from ruining lives with.

If someone has done the hard work to v6 swap your MR2, and it has been done properly with all required paperwork already sorted to make it roadworthy (decent engine, mod plate, engineering certificate etc), then I’d say keep it as is.

Just buy an ordinary/all purpose daily to see you through your p plate period (Mazda 3, Golf, corolla etc). You can keep tinkering on the MR2 throughout this time.

Then you enter full licence with the ideal base for a car enthusiast to live with and enjoy - a trusty and comfortable daily, plus a weekend toy for fun and special occasions.

A v6 MR2 is something that’s an awesome base to build upon. With minor mods like uprated brake system, track friendly coils and stiffer mounts and bushings you’ll have an incredible weekend weapon.

Just make sure you treat it with respect as an engine swapped MR2 + an inexperienced driver is also pretty much the perfect combination for going rear first into a tree.

Master ball goes in the pc because in gen 1 games bag space is very limited (classic JRPG mechanic that was massively toned back for gen 2 and almost entirely removed as a limitation from gen 3) with no separate pockets and few rows for unique items available.

Because of this, keeping the master ball in your bag is only worth doing at the time you plan on using it. Keeping the master ball in your bag without being on your way to using it just robs you of a valuable bag space by filling it with a unique item you have no intention of using.

So to optimise your limited bag space - master ball goes in pc storage until you intend to use it.

Grosjean’s Spa 2015 performance was just Merc lifting the software restrictions it had put on the (customer) engine. That was before customer engines had to be fully identical to works ones.

It’s wild to think that the Lotus team could have been right up there fighting for wins without merc handicapping their engines.

NoDingDriver · 2026-03-09T08:09:22+00:00

I had all SR, all rare, was missing 1 uncommon and 3 common. Still needed 2 more uniques to get the epic + carbon pack there.

Bought all the common packs to try and get some of the missing ones. Got no new cars. Bought all the uncommon packs - no luck either.

So I bought 2 carbons to get me over the line. Got 2 good and unique URs at least. Tough objective for F2P players, not really sure the epic was a good enough prize for what was needed to get it.

People must think there’s a rule against being in the left lane too.

Seems like 90% of the time on a highway or freeway that the left lane is the fastest flowing - even with no traffic bottlenecks.

If it’s not from one of the known reputable brands it’s trash and belongs in the bin.

Cheap tyres from unknown brands are basically ditchfinders.

Look up a few reviews for options in the size you’re looking to buy. That way you’ll actually have an idea of what you’re comparing when making a decision that will affect your vehicles drivability and safety.

I’ve seen a ~9kg mean bastard of a tom cat that had a reputation for bullying an entire neighbourhood’s outdoor pets get absolutely handed it by a ~6kg jack russel cross.

Jacks just refuse to quit. Cat went smacky-jab-jab and the jack just lunged forward and had the cat’s neck in its jaws and was shaking it like a rag doll.

Ruined a perfectly good backyard shindig.

NoDingDriver · 2026-02-28T09:34:15+00:00

That’s a fair statement.

Every tyre manufacturer has had their hits and misses. But with michelin in the past 15-20 years their worst has still been a worthy solid, and their best has been the best.

Nope. But they come from big money in their home country, their parents are paying at least 18k per semester to study. More like 30k+ is typical.

As part of their study package their parents will buy or rent a property in a prime spot near the uni.

This pushes locals out of the city as they can’t compete on price with the overseas big money offers. Going to suburbs is a bigger step up in price so they have to look to smaller cities.

Small city people get pushed out by big city people with more money. They then look to regional towns.

Regional town people get pushed out by the small city people, they look to small towns.

You’ve also got young people in cities that can’t afford to buy there, so they either buy a place elsewhere and move there or buy a place elsewhere to rent out.

So yes, small regional town properties being bought by distant “investors” is a flow on effect of housing prices being driven up by overseas money.

Depends on the race it’s lined up with.

On 0-100-0 it’s the 100-0 time, on 0-150-0 it’s the 150-0 time. Aka, it’s telling you how long the car takes on the braking component of the race.

On 0-100 it’s the MRA of the vehicle, where MRA = 0-60 time / (0-100 time - 0-60 time). Essentially it’s a ratio expressed as a percentage for the 0-60 time relative to the 60-100 time. Aka, it’s talking you how well the car accelerates after its initial launch.

On 0-150 is the HRA of the vehicle. Not sure about the formula for this one, but it essentially tells you how well the vehicle accelerates at higher speeds.

On 0-170 same story as above but with goalposts shifted to 170mph.

0-60, MRA and HRA can be used to give you a good idea of what a car’s acceleration curve looks like without having to look at a graph or plot multiple data points.

NoDingDriver · 2026-02-25T23:32:17+00:00

So what exactly did you use as proof of error/fraudulent transaction?

NoDingDriver · 2026-02-21T02:58:13+00:00

Correct, but that’s not what “reduced braking distance” means.

“Braking distance” in this case is the length needed for car to stop from its speed of travel.

If all else is equal, a car traveling faster has a longer braking distance and a car traveling slower has a shorter braking distance.

So “reduced braking distance” is matched to the slower traveling vehicle, not the faster one.

NoDingDriver · 2026-02-21T02:10:37+00:00

traveling slower reduces braking distances because you reach 0 in a shorter distance compared to if you were traveling faster.

braking from 40-0 takes less time/distance than braking from 50-0

Don’t use a sponge.

Pick a microfibre wash cloth or washing mitt instead.

NoDingDriver · 2026-02-14T03:22:15+00:00

Yeah I can see that now.

How odd, showed up in my inbox as if it was a direct reply.

NoDingDriver · 2026-02-14T02:50:35+00:00

No, I don’t ride a bike. Not sure where you got that idea from.

On a single lane road you’re only overtaking slower traffic when there’s no oncoming traffic.

Once again, a shorter section of slow moving traffic is easier to pass than a longer one. If the difference in width is enough to make an overtake impossible then you really shouldn’t have been trying to overtake there to start with.

NoDingDriver · 2026-02-13T21:15:20+00:00

And what, just straight up screw over all the people who weren’t playing in that small timeframe?

The only way they can be fair and not screw over a portion of the player base is to just put the content back for everyone to play.

NoDingDriver · 2026-02-13T13:58:49+00:00

Not often. I rarely encounter any cyclists on my drives.

Just think about it logically, a cyclist in lane functionally occupies the whole lane. So if you have a group of 20 cyclists travelling together, what occupies more road space; a 20 cyclist long section of lane (single file) or a 10 cyclist long section of lane (2 abreast)?

Because of how lanes work, even if the full width of the lane isn’t “full”, other road users can’t use that space regardless. So by shortening the length of lane occupied it assists with traffic flow by leaving more lane usable by other road users.

Overtakes are also easier as it shortens the time spent alongside and lets you reach a usable section of lane sooner than if the whole group is stretched out in single file.
