true? | Yup only on used cars though. And the engine rebuild too
Just got the Ferrari 458 I take back a lot of the shit I gave to this game. The 458 was a lot of fun. Problem is the basic cars are really yawn inducing. LOL Won the veyron and they showed me the finale... I'm not even halfway through yet!

true? | I just tried this now and this is what i found out
1. Yes, if you buy an used car, the oil is dirty and so by changing it you gain some power back
2. Yes, if you have been given a car, or it was a prize car, by changing the oil you'll gain a few more hp
3. No, it doesn't have to be right away, as long as you change the oil, it will gain more hp.
4. Not sure if it'll work on cars you bought yourself. , but i'm sure it will if they allow you to change the oil. i just tried on one of my cars and they didn't allow me

Have any of you guys upgraded to a ssd? The load times before each race is starting to bother me esp. since you gotta spam farm them for credits. I can hear the stock hdd working real hard during each load so it should help right? Posted via RS Mobile | |

Posted via RS Mobile | that would be pricey...if you are buying anything less than 64GB it wont have too much space for your games.
some guy on the PS boards did a similar comparsion for GT5P Quote:
GT5 loading - Startup Video, Track Loading Video
Startup
HDD - 25.9 seconds
SSD - 22.9 seconds
10% decrease in load times
Track Load
HDD - 14.1 seconds
SSD - 11.6 seconds
18% decrease in load times
Not bad. Definitly seeing some better times then on the 7200rpm drive.
| http://boardsus.playstation.com/t5/P...d/m-p/43584590
IMO load times are fine..they dont take any longer than 20-30 seconds.

Is there some kind of wifi booster? signal not great in basement. Laptop is fine though Quote:

Realistically, people bitch and complain about this game, in the end I'd rather be doing thr kart mode here than playing any forza..
How bout everyone stop bitching in here and start discussing the game, regardless of it's faults it's still very good Posted via RS Mobile | |

IMO load times are fine..they dont take any longer than 20-30 seconds. | Gt5p is fine. Been playing it for ages. Somehow I only feel it's slow with gt5. Maybe it's due to farming millions of credit that is making me feel impatient. SSDs are ok in price for the 120g and below units. Gt5 won't go past 10g so even a 120g is fine (currently less than $200) In fact I kinda regret upgrading my 2nd ps3 to 500g, only using less than 50g after I bought a super long hdmi to link my pc to my LCD.

Wow once you hit level 16 go do the sebastien loeb challenges easy money. Gold = 100k
I got gold on my first try for them. I think it's because they set the gold-silver-bronze too close for such a long race

I was fiddling with the settings and I thought I completed the install for the game,
however I clicked the install option and there was a "Full Install" I clicked it and took about another 20 minutes. Load times are 50% faster now

Today I played GT5 in 3D on our 55" Sony HX800 at work at its fucking hurting. Nothing is even 3D. I drove the R33 in a sunday cup race and the only thing that had a mere whiff of 3D was the standings on he right side of the screen during the race. What a joke.
