I cant remember what I got, it was cool though.

I got a Honda City Turbo for my birthday, then the network was screwed for a few weeks, then It gave me a "belated" birthday gift Renault Turbo 5

[Anthrax]

I just noticed that I received a birthday car last week. A Celica XX 2800GT ´81.
I never knew of this. Has anyone else gotten his yet?

[xAZxE30x]

pretty much.. only a few have accepted

[NKRoberts]

i checked and didnt have any credits or exp so just means i havent run it long enough i guess..

I will leave it on all day and see what comes of it!

have you added all the people from r3v?

so if i get this correctly..

I have everything set up.. ps3 is in standby and my widget is up but the only driver currently shown in my drivers list(widget) is my own. so basically when people add me as friends then their shared drivers will show up in my drivers list and those will be the ones that are being raced? and same will go with my driver for others running the widget?

cuz so far all it does is run races but doesnt gain anything so i assume that i just because I do not have people with me added?

sorry for the n00000bness :D

Its OK to be a noob, as long as you learn quickly.


Just make all 6 b-spec drivers (you may have to play the game more to unlock more drivers), share them and run the widget. Occasionally go into your drivers list (on GT5, not the widget) and click on 'receive prizes'. $ and exp points will be transferred to your GT5 account and your drivers will start to increase skill level. One of my drivers has done nothing buy remote racing, and is now level 31.

LOL. I do pass through Milwaukee. sort of. And my truck can do a hell of a burnout. at least unloaded... Getting into a driveway and doing a burnout would be interesting with the trailer...

Hell, I could go up on the grass, put it in 4wd, crank up the trailer brakes and see what happens :evil::evil::evil:

But then I'd have to get the F out of there....

I am all for this! I want some vids

Are you passing through Milwaukee on your way to Road America? If so, then I need you to do me a favor and do a massive burnout in my neighbors driveway for me.

It would mean a lot.

you have to go to your driver list and redeem the credits and xp from each driver.

I have updated the PSN list thread with all the names I could find and add in 15 minutes. Check out the first post on the first page. Add those people if you haven't.

If you are not on that list, PM me or post in the PSN thread what your PSN is, and I'll put you on the list too.

Widget has been good to me (and hopefully I'm almost caught up on returning the favors), but I miss good online racing. Lets get some more of that started! Enough people do the widget thing, and soon we will be able to have our very own Spec X1 races!!! muwahahahaha!!!!!



(note - while I do want to race online with you guys sooner than later, it'll have to be later for me - like next week. Real racing calls - June Sprints at Road America this weekend - woot!)

I am using L-brackets that put the bungees completely out of the way, but here is the general idea (first pic i found from google, not mine)

[NKRoberts]

I have no idea what you're talking about haha. Bungee's attached to the brake pedal to return it quicker?

He likes to wrap bungees around his feet really tight so that he has a slimmer foot, jk
