EDIT: Hey guys I bought it!!!! AND the network adapter off the futureshop web page. Plus I saved 9 whole bucks!!! Plus GST.

Their web page is messed up a bit but you DO get free shipping, I had to call in to customer service but they were actually helpful.

I plan to get it on April the 7th!!!! Oh yeah guys!!!

@_@ sweeeet!! this means we got ourselves a team for SURE...
exactly how this router thing work tho... just put it between the modem and the comp, and stick an extra line in?

you'll love it after a while.... in fact, the longer you have it, the more you will like it i think... cuz u get better at driving... and despite popular believe, running time trials and shaving off the 1/10ths of a second IS a lot of fun... especially when you get so good the tuning matters a LOT to cut time off...

im gonna start over again.... cuz basically i want the challenge of doing it all from the front with a different car, a FR car this time...
any suggestions? hehe ^_^

ok it's really easy but would be best explaned with a picture and stuff which illl make after school tmrrow

i donno if ill even be buying the network adapter it seems like alot of money to spend on someting i don't have many games for. maybe later on in the late summer time ill get it

but if i see AM ill try for it i'm in red deer on tuesday but i'm not sure if i'm going anywhere fun.

I NEED TO MOD SOMETHING it's been such a boring weekend.

hmm pig, well, i dunno.. get AM first, and check it out.. i think the network adapter makes it worth it's weight in gold, while it's only silver on it's own.... but it WILL teach you the basics of rice, which makes me happy...

heh, modding eh...?? internal dual cell!!! @_@ you know that dremel needs a good workout..!!!

ralliart · #**1700** 03-31-2003, 01:32 AM

Nova- nice to hear that you bought AM...im still scared that i might not find it...and that 'they just sold the last copy'....arrgg...piss me off. Im gonna try so hard on thursday to find it. haha.

Oh yeah...i have shaw too, and i saw this gaming show on tv and it showed the shaw blue TERAYON box and explained how that is the only thing you need for network. So its all good.

damn pig...so you wont be joining until like summer?

but 3 people a good amount for a starting team....gonna be soooo sweet.

. And i think im gonna do what Pie did....play a bit to know what is good and stuff...then start new and get a GOOD and solid car so that it;ll be sorta easier.

yeah, I think it's relatively easy to hook up to a router, since only one computer needs the software. I plugged in my laptop and my sisters computer required no configuration, and it worked. I do need 50feet of cord though.lol

Anyway, MY ORDER WAS PROCESSED. Oh yeah, I'm so hyped. Unfortunately, I still bein charged shipping, but that will hopefully be fixed.

I am doing no more soldering modding. I think I melted something on the board and now my cars works good for 10 seconds and then it goes to a crawl. Oh well, I have 6 more.

strakka · #**1702** 03-31-2003, 11:29 AM

man, now i want to get a PS2 !!!! but i also have to get a electric guitar and a whole bunch of other mini r/c s !!!!!!!!!!!! so much to decide ........... thank god my bank account's still fairly high.......... probably get me through another few days at most LOL anyone have GT3??cant you play that online?? oh and whens the release date for GT4? everyone says thats going to be an kick ass game but i cant find anything about it on the internet........ stupid google........

ralliart · #**1703** 03-31-2003, 12:28 PM

strakka- no you cant play GT3 online...but even if you could, it would be pretty slow because the game is built so good. And i think the next GT game would be GT Concept...but i think i heard something about a GT4.

FINALLY im done masking....

nrmcj · #**1704** 03-31-2003, 02:34 PM

lol, sweet... this damn router thing better owrk! =P

heh, novastar - what were you trying to do...? the crip cap mod/?

strakka - u dun got a PS2?! waa.... lol, GT3 isnt an online game... and it'd take Forever to load and lag a lot prolly.. cuz the physics in it are seriously complicated... GTconcept is out already im pretty sure... i havent seen it around tho... gt4... hmmm i have no idea.... but i think i might have to buy it ^_^

hmm where knights @? havent heard from him in a while.. he said he was makin a bit video tho

lol, ralliart, press those edges into the body... like TIGHT with ur fingernail... just to keep it nice and tight... and also, if the white bleeds thru the mask a little np i think.. cuz the details (headlights, mirrors), can be painted black after the white dries... if you have a bottle of black tho....

heh, gonna start out with the supra today!! yeah!

nghts · #**1705** 03-31-2003, 03:38 PM

i just got back on this forum and i wanted to read this thread.but geeze its 114!!!!! pg's long....i didnt read any of this so can someone give me a heads up on this lol

novastar512 · #**1707** 03-31-2003, 05:22 PM

ralli- hey, nice job, so did how did you remove the previous paint? I want to do it to two ugly impreza's of mine.

pie- I was trying to do a mod so that my Nimh batteries will be disconnected when not in use since the receiver drains their power and they should not be worn down. I screwed up somehow and melted a part, just by having the soldering iron close. Andyway, I said screw it and thought that the Zip Zaps have Nimh and they don't have a problem and other people don't have a problem. I don't think the router will cause a problem. Which kind of router do you have?

strakka - GT4 will be online. However, I think that will be trouble since most people will max out their cars and it won't be as fun online, they have to fix it because of that. I don't think it would lag alot though... since all the connection does is send the cars positions and speed I think and that's it. And possible adjustments when bumped.

nrmcj · #**1708** 03-31-2003, 05:34 PM

hmm i think ralliart didnt take the paint off at all... it was white with white and red little bits on it... so i think he just primed the whole thing... and just left it at that...

lol, good to hear, knights... heh dont pull a happyboy now ^_^

hmm i think NiMH cant get screwed up from being in contact with stuff too long.. maybe they will drain, but nah, they wont get screwed up... almost certain.... ****, i want to jack the NiMH AA's that my dad's camera uses.... save sooo much on batteries!!

i dun got a router... planning to buy one in a couple days... unfortunately, i ahve no idea what's going on... that's what me and ralliart are gonna try to figure out on thursday... lol, any tips? hehe!

sonofa... someone's ringing my doorbell... dammmit!!!!!!!! i dun wanna open the door cuz i got nooo idea who it is....... who the hell drives a red busted up truck and has a yellow windbreaker..? pig im lookin in ur direction.................

*edit: bobarooskie... u from alberta?

nghts · #**1709** 03-31-2003, 06:28 PM

lol pie if I were u I would be a little nervous...lol this reminds me of a story that happened when I was at my friends house...we were home alone at his house and I took a look out his window in his backyard(it was like 12:30 AM or soemthing) and there was a lady trhere in the backyard, I was like "Holy ****! Theres someone in your backyard!" So were kinda sat there for a while looking at her, eventually we went to sleep...Then like at 3:30 or something...someone knocked on the backdoor, we opened it up, and there was some wierd dressed guy, and he asked for like "mappy" or something...we were like wtf is this...then we went to bed
