Sim Racing Megatopic

I’ve always wanted an LS swapped Volvo wagon.

Now’s your chance! Ol blue eyes would have been happy it went to a racer

My sis bought one of these used in the 90s. It’s a huuuge vehicle. Gonna need all that v8 to move.

What’s the Japanese car equivalent of doing an LS swap? Dropping a Nissan gtr engine in a kei car?

Found a guide:

RB, 2JZ, or K swaps are pretty common. The 2J and RB engines are really desirable and really overbuilt from factory so they can handle a ton of boost and mods fairly reliably. Sometimes people buy beat Supras just to snag the engine.

So I was thinking that for my rental racing, perhaps I should change things up suit wise.

Most rental places do not require a racing suit so why be uncomfortable?

I was thinking of getting me and Nick matching Tachinni sweats from the 80s and bring some retro to the scene. Crushed velour and karting seems like an interesting blend of experiences.

A less fuzzy alternative, the classic Adidas (all day I dream about slip angle)

Useless for protection, but that’s not the point. Might be too warm.

@tjkoyen I saw this on Reddit and thought you might get a kick from it. Looks like spray can and brush. I really like the bottom one, thought the blue Union Jack style helmet worked out well. I also like how he messed with the Bell logo. Also dad quote.

Can’t touch this, Warren. Technically, though, I could get away with that at UK.

Go for it… it’s only $34.00 :rofl:

I’ll need to hire an entourage and backup dancers. Would be a good entrance to Supernats tho.

Don’t forget a good accountant as well! :rofl:

Taxes don’t occur when you don’t win and therefore don’t get prize money. Hammer time.

Yeah that’s… certainly a way to paint a helmet.

They start somewhere! I do like the bottom one.

Unusual track. Saw this online and found it reminiscent of the outer loop of Liberator at NJMP. It’s a facility near London. It’s a bit unusual in that there’s no infield.

Fun game for sure. Spent a lot of time on there between iracing and ACC

Spent most of my time on a server that was like track day nordschleife. It was on the tourist map so you went thru the gates etc. Would love to do that IRL one day so fun to drive on the sim

Asseto corsa is also mod city. At 90% off it’s a no brainer. Tons of content and it’s really good.
