Something tells me that the 'Special Mentions' class maybe the most heated up battle soon. Mine, I'm not too sure. But I assume Kurei's might be a full-time 4WD? Fin-Toy's might be the R32, and Sweeper might be the R34. Me? Not too sure. Maybe the R33. |

I have atleast 2 500bhp-class monsters, and some nice little things for 200hp and 300hp-classes.. what kind of setups you would like to have for these tracks? grip or drift? |

You got yourself a competitor in the 300hp range battle; my 296bhp Nissan Skyline GTS-T Type M. Well, tested it several times, you'll probably like how the coupe slips through the corners, without any LSD. Does well on Tsukuba, but not too sure on Laguna. Somehow, we really need that section (up till time section 10) of the Nurb to test the cars' full potential. Sweeper's BMI really showed the car's weakness in the Nurb. So far, here's my confirmed list... 300hp Range - Nissan Skyline GTS-T Type M 500hp Range - Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec 99' aka Tommykaira R Special Mentions - Nissan Skyline GT-R 89' aka Angel R Mark II (740bhp) - Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec LM imited 96' aka Avenger R (755bhp) - Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec II Nur 02' aka Berserker R Mark II (911bhp) - Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec II Nur 02' aka Berserker R Lite (571bhp) | ||

Always Lurking... Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,760 Member No.: 20,050 Joined: Sep 6th 2006 Location: Singapore | I see, so I'll need another two cars in the other classes to balance it out, right? If so, I'll be looking into another two cars, possibly a Skyline 300GT and Skyline 350GT-8 |

Always Lurking... Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,760 Member No.: 20,050 Joined: Sep 6th 2006 Location: Singapore | My bad there, yeah, should be T5; right around the north part of the map, before the speed section there. Somehow, Sweeper's commentary back then was amusing as well. I can remember one part... "As you can see now- Oh Shit!" |

IDW Goldmember Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,133 Member No.: 2,798 Joined: Aug 25th 2004 Location: Levanger, Norway | LOL yeah the car was living its own life... And I had problems doing proper downshifts too, so overall it was a pain to drive. But not as bad as my Traction Monster 2 R34 GT-R which was supposed to be a big power project. That thing jumped around on the bumps and was instant control loss. |

Always Lurking... Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,760 Member No.: 20,050 Joined: Sep 6th 2006 Location: Singapore | Well, once I'm ready with my set of cars (Obviously all of them will bear the Skyline name), I'll just post it here so everyone including the contestants can give it a go. Should be 8 Skylines, I think. |

IDW's neighbourhood Roj Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,973 Member No.: 15,576 Joined: Jan 25th 2006 Location: England | I guess I should quote Sweeper from the last BMI topic just to remind anyone whos new to this, since Flex didnt mention it in the first post
Also could I add when PM'ing cars and settings, say what colour/whees/spoilers are used, incase any of the judges are prepared to take pics or make video | ||

Don't worry, the HCR32 sisters are RWDs, though they are getting twitchy in the Nurb. And a shocker, the Berserker R did well with the Nurb (First time played it in there) Though, the gears used are mostly up to 4th, while the 5th and 6th are used to increase grip. | ||

IDW Goldmember Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,133 Member No.: 2,798 Joined: Aug 25th 2004 Location: Levanger, Norway | Well I am thinking RWD here of various ages... I was planning on GT-R but I realize the only serious contender for that is my current one and well, I don't want to submit that. |

Always Lurking... Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,760 Member No.: 20,050 Joined: Sep 6th 2006 Location: Singapore | Maybe I could try some ... full time yon dabalyu di cars... But It'll be notorious for having crazy understeer. No wonder I'm referring to the WRC cars as a reference. But I'm not going to use any known cars that made into WRC. Who knows, maybe a dark horse out of nowhere made by Audi. As for FF... hmm.. may actually use it for the 200hp range. Maybe a Toyota or Honda of sorts...
