Appologies if this has been asked or posted before, but do we still have the chance to stick ridiculous engines into smaller cars? I remember R32 Turbo'd Mk1 Golf in Forza 3, and haven't heard if that something that's being continued over?

DreXeL · 26 Sep 2011 at 19:07

It's been in every Forza game so far, so I'd be VERY surprised if it's not in FM4.

Is the 2011 M5 in the standard version?

Putting an RX8 engine, fully tuned into an MX5 is hilarious too

You can put the Audi Lemans TDI engine into an R8 too (imagine into some of the other Audi's too) which is quite amusing.

Ahh lame, want to try that now but I've given my copy away

Audi R10 TDI Engine in my RS6 was always fun

I built an absolutely amazing Audi Quattro for drag racing. Put a massive engine in it and stripped it right down. It was incredible.

Tried to take it out on the track... It wouldn't corner worth crap.

Vonhelmet · 26 Sep 2011 at 22:53

And yes, I'm well up for a car club.

Reaper 392 · 27 Sep 2011 at 01:55

the RX7 with the 3 rotor in it is really fun

(mazda RX7 FC + 991bhp 3 rotor + lightweight kit = 260mph+ A class car

)

DreXeL · 27 Sep 2011 at 09:20

Best lunatic combo in FM3 was the Datsun 510 with a Skyline GTR running gear tuned to around 1000bhp.

Greboth · 27 Sep 2011 at 10:05

The maddest I always thought was the Chevrolet Aveo with the corvette racing v8 tuned to 900 and something HP and RWD. Such a pain to control round corners so twitchy.

Can't make my mind up about fm4 though, i rarely play fm3 these days and 4 doesn't look all that different to make me want to get it.

This, but I left mine FWD

Just utterly insane. Finally got round to pre-ordering yesterday, went for the LCE again. Couldn't resist the temptation of all the extra things & it will go well with my FM2/3 LCE's

Bugatti Veyron? Pfff!

Demon · 27 Sep 2011 at 10:39

I'll pre-order the LCE shortly, is such a shame that it's limited to 1 highstreet chain (OK, well actually 2 if you include their sister company!)..

I'll probably pre-order in-store, since I've heard delivery isn't usually before release from their online store!

And I'm just finishing up a proper dedicated racing cockpit, which should be finished in a few days, just some speakers to mount and carbon wrap some wooden framing I needed to make for the seat (Honda Civic Type R)..

The quality of some of the photomode shots doing the rounds is incredible, some occasional duff ones, but at least that aspect has jumped on leaps and bounds..

Vonhelmet · 27 Sep 2011 at 10:46

I'm tempted to switch for the LCE, but £20 seems a lot of money...

Reaper 392 · 27 Sep 2011 at 11:52

that's an epic temporary chair you've got there

That sounds fun! Will be trying that one.
Is the 3 rotor engine the one that the Mazda 787B used to have?

Yeh this one works well, however as it was flavour of the month when I used to play online I didn't mention it. Think it is pretty well known. Mine is hiliarous, I've made the suspension really soft and as high a ride height as possible. Looks so funny when doing drag races, does have a bit of a habit of rolling over though

I'll be trying that one later! I've got a Nissan Verso with a fully tuned 370z engine in it which is good fun. But nothing like 900bhp!

Me too - gonna work out to be an expensive month.

Just hoping my "x clamped" release console lasts a few more months.
