build your real car in LFS

[coolrace05]

hey i was wondering if i could get the specs from my real car and put them into the setup so its like im driving my car in the game, i have a 1990 honda accord FWD and i have to find the specs for it and put it in the the game setup i would use the XF GTI , think it would work? i did research on my car and found the gear setups, raitios and final drive values, ill input them and let you know how it goes : )

considering the weight, weight distribution, suspension type and power are probably different.. you can probably get close :D

true, i found it at this website http://216.109.125.130/search/cache?p=1990+honda+accord+1st+gear+ratio&ei=UTF-8&fl=0&u=www.hondanews.com/CatID0000%3Fmid%3D2002041555369%26mime%3Dasc&w=1990+honda+accord+1st+gear+ratio&d=VHBK5cp5LTnM&icp=1&.intl=us

Wait till LFSTweak is out :nod:

yeah, i want to add another 100hp to the gtt. :D and 45° lock for the wheels of the gtr cars will make them D1 machines...

In the meantime buy s2. The GTR and formula racing is so much more exciting than the demo cars.

Gabkicks: I wouldn't agree. GTR and Formula are no more exciting than other cars. However, since nobody drives much else, they're the only ones you can have good (and therefore exciting) racing in atm.

[Gabkicks]

i guess its more about the competition. its just i;ve driven the gti so much in s1 and the s2 demo.

That's true.

I'm always looking for a GTi server running an S2 track, or an LX4 only or LX6 only server, or a Raceabout only server, running interesting tracks (i.e not BL1, SO1 or FE1 :) ) but to no avail most of the time. If I could set up my own server, it would be road-cars only, on Aston and Kyoto normal and reversed configs, one type of car only..........and probably I'd be the only one in there 90% of the time :)

Agree. Personally I'm crazy about the road cars. When I race, I join servers with TBO or LRF and ... race alone. (most of the time). IMHO these cars provide for MUCH better, close racing. I guess people are only sticking to what goes fast :Looking_a

TBO series are the most fun cars in LFS!

Find an empty server with the right cars, vote to end race, then change the track.

Easier said than done without admin access to change the cars and/or restrict the choice to just one.
