Title: Need For Speed Shift2 AE86 still shot
Post by: HaywardRotary on March 25, 2011, 09:20:48 AM
What do you think of this? It is a still from the new NFS Game,but the real car is even wilder!
This is Darren McNamarra\'s new AE86 powered by a Bridgeport engine built and tuned by us at Hayward rotary.
Darren has built the car and done a great job!
We are really pleased to be involved with Darren and MCNsport and also have a car with our name on it in the new game that is to be released April 1st.
Regards
Carl

I don\'t know if your being sarcastic here Ross but seriously if you are trying to take the Mick then just keep the spiteful comments to yourself.

I have only ever talked to you once in person, and if that Kind if comment you just made domes up what you are like then I wouldn\'t ever want to speak to you again. Your like  a bloody woman with your snide remarks.

If you weren\'t taking the Mick in anyway then I apologise for what I just typed.

Are you going to be getting the game? If so on what platform? If xbox then we could get some online competition going?

A very cool achievement, to be immoratalised in a game such as this! well done.

Is it no true? I can see some real thought and love has gone into that engine bay design and layout.

I\'ll get it on PS3.  I really ought to get further into Gran Turismo 5 before I do though.  Need For Speed Games look pretty but Gran Turismo is more challenging in terms of driving.

Looks very nicely done, any more pics? The downpipe looks like it would be quite tight or is it just the angle of the photo.

Yes but way I was meaning was the bit where you say "with one of your engines in" as if you were implying there\'s something bad with Carls engines.

Which I think is damn right rude, it\'s bad enough in this country that we have a small amount of people interested in rotary engines and for a rotary specialist to have a little dig at another is just childish. Would it not be better for all the specialists to get along and share little bits of info with each other so that uk rotaries can claim  they are up there with the Puerto Ricans, US and Australia?

I hav never really found GT games challenging. The only hard part I found was finding the best car for certain races, I always found it really easy especially if you start at the front of the grid, because once your in front there\'s no cars fast Enoch to catch you.

I did a couple of the 24 hour races in the last game and ended up something like 15-20 laps ahead of 2nd place!

The last NFS game I played was more fun than GT.

GT is a bit easy if you tune the hell out of your car.  NFS Shift is a great game because it is a lot of fun.

Post by: B.Martin on March 26, 2011, 12:52:49 PM
A agree gt is easy and doesn\'t feel very engulfing almost a bit flat. And in the 3rd person view (which I much prefer) it really doesn\'t feel like youre taking the corner very fast. Gt was an epic disappointment for me after the first 2 weeks of playing it i got horrifically bored!
Title: Need For Speed Shift2 AE86 still shot
Post by: Grant Monkhouse on March 26, 2011, 01:04:59 PM
I haven\'t played the latest GT game as I would have to borrow my bros ps3, but what got me bored of the GT games was when they introduced 24 hour races. It tedious and pointless because if your like me you end up losing the race after 24 hours you have to do it again to make sure you have a 1st in all of the races!

Hopefully NFS will be good and not take itself too serious. NFS is always good for the drifting though!

Wow didn\'t realise it was Darren macnamara that competes in the formula D championship in the states that you built the engine for!!

Well done Carl!

Just trying to win the AE86!

great news on the car and the engine! shame about the physics. I hear this game is as much of a let down as the first one. Its a shame really, it looks amazing!

Also is this car still being given away? I remember seeing some thread about it on dw
