Hey guys! Rezin sent me this way. Just got back in town so I am swing over to check the site out. I know a few of you from IFCA. Not sure what else to say, so, I guess I will see you around the forums here and IFCA. And in Forza.

Welcome to the EZT Motorsport Forum!

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Cheers!

welcome to the site. Im sure we'll be seeing each other around. You can only go so fast in that stockhatch civic..lol

I'll keep nipping at those Yaris heals though. :p

youre doing a whole lot better than I probably would in the civic. It was our (EZT Twingo team's) first pick that wasnt the yaris. But after countless practice races of getting it handed to us, we switched to the twingo. Still not much better.

Hey Prophet, glad to see you stop by and say whats up... Appreciate your input on the tuning thread too!

Let me know if you have any questions about the site or team.....

Tigerpr0n and myself picked the Civic because our thought was that most people would not be able to keep the Yaris on track in traffic. We knew we could not keep up with the fast guys, so we expected to be middle of the pack and planned for that. I tuned both our cars, he mades some minor tweaks to his car, and in the end was very happy. What I was not expecting was the massive added speed a good tune on the Yaris would have. I should have done more testing. But the track issues seem to stand up with all the issues that are happening in the #4-5 lobbies. Seems a good chunk of the slow Yaris drivers are having issues keeping them under control. Some are just making dumb choices though. I've seen some really dumb pass atempts that have resulted in crashes that should have never happened. But, I guess that's lack of experiance?

I have really only been in two accidents. I've been hit a few times but nothing major happened. At Atalanta there was a big crash after the first chicanes. My car had started "skipping" going into that uphill right hand sweeper. I did soemthing wrong and skipped so hard around lap 20-23 that I went off track and hit a car that was already KIA off track. Barely made it back to pit so I could finish. Not sure what happened before I got there but I think 3-4 gcars where DOA on the side of the track. The only other issue I've had, RacyStacy and I where side by side at Motegi after the chicanes. I tried the out brake her going into the right hander that goes under the Bridgestone bridge. Ended up locking up and hitting the car in front of us. Totally my fault. I pushed to hard to try and make the pass. Just a dumb mistake on my end. For the most part the fast guys in the slow cars seem to be pretty clean, but the slow Yaris drivers are a bit, messy. lol If I screw up I'll be the first to admit it. I'm not perfect. lol

Welcome Prophet

yeah, the yaris' tend to be an 'all or nothin' car, in my opinion. if you can get it to hook-up then its beastly,but that window is rather small and if your adjustments are barely off that car turns into a drifter or can start handling like a "wet wrag" (i think chuck made that comment at some point during testing).

i have started getting mine to do rather well, made a lobby 2 appearance with only about 2 hours of tuning/practice time so im pretty happy with it.

welcome to the site prophet, get tiger to come nose around a little if he is interested aswell, good to see you providing input already!

I was setting some pretty good times for last nights race. Then when Chilled sent me the invite, the game started locking up. Now I can't get past the title screen.

I was really pissed last night. Spend a few hours testing and tuning for nothing. I still can not get the game to start.

damn...locks up? maybe try clearin some spaceon ur hd?

Other games work okay?

Cleared out the HD for the most part. It's an old system with the small HD. But I have 6-7 gb open now. I even deleted all the car packs and stuff.

Other games seem to be working fine. But for some reason My xbox does not like Forza now.

Out of curiosity, did you have any of the top times anywhere on the leaderboards?

should be in the leaderboards. Fastest I did in hot laps was a 1:31.8xx I think. Not supper fast but pretty good for my civic.

i think he is talking about using glitched cars to set top times

Oh, no. Best I have ever don is in the top 300 or so at Iberian Mini in my 914. That was a long time ago. I'm sure it's fallen off since then. Most of the time if I really try I hit around top 1000 or so.

Turns out my save game is corrupted. I loaded my fiance's profile and the game loads just fine. My Forza days may have just come to an end. I'm not sure I can start over again.

that sux BIG TIME!

I know. If I deleat it I lose all my VIP cars plus I all the cars I have purchased, painted, and built. This blows. I have hundreds of hours in this game.

Well, have you checked with those over at FM.net? Perhaps they can access your account. I know there were problems in FM2 similar to this that they fixed.

So far my post has been ignored by all but SnowOwl over there. His sugjestion did not help and no one has posted since.

Talk to 'Bringer, which it seems as if you have/are doing.

Looks like I am screwed. I'm going to start over and do just enough to get me back on track for IFCA. But I'm done with buying any more Forza games or DLC. I'm tired of the BS. T10 is so close to being on my black list with IW and Activision.

I had to start over in Forza II and lost everything, my other games worked fine but a few days later my 360 crashed nothing but red lights, I read that Forza really puts a stain on older 360's but the less demanding games will work :-(

Well Prophet, if you do decide to join up with us, we certainly have the resources to help you get some stuff back, like cars and such.....

Well. I am going to forge on. I'll keep you guys up to date with the progress. Just one more thing to add to the wedding stress and unemployment stress. lol At least this is not as big a deal.

So, now it wont read the disc at all. Keeps saying I need to clean it. Even after I have. For some odd reason this is the only game I have ever had this issue with.

any circular scratches on the disc? my old box started scratching my games right before it ringed on me...if u start seeing light scratches, kinda like skuffs, aound the outside, thats all it takes to ruin the disc...

Just checked. there are a few..... damn it..... Why is this the only disk though? WTF? If there is a god, he must hate me. lol

I'm not going to have time to see about getting the disk buffed before I leave for Aruba. So, I guess my season is done till I get back. Oh well.

well u can only be so pissed if your going to aruba...ifmine went down id just be able to stare at a blank tv, lol.

but mine only messed up my copy of madden 10...like 3 times. this was before walmart return policy on games so just kept bringing it back and swapping it, lol. swapped a copy with a local blockbuster as well, lol

::cough::Gamefly free trial.... ::cough::

brilliant!!

Not bad, but either way I'm on a plane tuesday morning for Aruba and my wedding. So it will hav to wait till I get back.

Congrats! I wish you well with your wedding and your bride! My wife and I have known each other for nearly 30 years. We have been married for the last 23 years (in December).

Nice! We have been togethor for 3 years. It's going to be good. I just can not wait to get out of here for a while. lol Cabin fever is getting bad.

I can imagine how that is up in Minnesota! Probably got a lot more snow and cold weather there than we did in northeast Ohio!

It's been nice actually. Snow has been gone for about a month. Just that not being able to find work has left me stuck at home. Every spare bit of change I have needs to go to the wedding for the most part.

Got back last night. I will try to get my disk fixed this week so I can rock some Forza this weekend.

Welcome Back!

Hey man, welcome back and congrats!!!

Thanks! I think I go to big/heavy of a wedding band. It's actually throwing off my PC gaming. lol It's made of tungsten and carbon fiber. It's actually pretty heavy.

congrats man! And welcome back.

you seriously got a wedding band with carbon fiber in it? I think Id get slapped if I brought up any car related materials for that. But sounds like it could be cool. Who doesnt love carbon fiber?

lol. She wanted me to get something I liked and was part of me. She is cool like that. We picked it out togethor.

Here are some pics.

She also got this watch for me as a present. I really like it.




Close up of the band.
