No, the damage you can have fixed isn't really needed until you start noticing the car have really bad alignment, i.e. pulling to one side or the other.

Anybody know where there is a list of the races and car requirements for the upper levels? thinking about cleaning out some of the useless POS's in my garage and using the money to upgrade the ones I actually drive or am going to need to drive.

just picked it up the other day. The guy was playing it at best buy on a 3d tv and it sold me. I haven't put too much time in on it but I like what I have seen so far.

Anyone beat the Sebastian Loeb special events? why the hell did my car handle so well in the other rally event, but in this one it is like I am driving on greased glass? Dirt, Snow, doesn't matter, slides all over the place. I put the line on to see if that helped, i've messed with all the driving settings, that helped a little but it would be impossible to win even bronze with them on.

Now, that was an update. Wish other games (BLOPS) would take notice.

turn off the traction control and just leave your breaks at 1. I found if you follow the driving line, on some of the red lines just let of the gas and that's it, don't apply the brakes. You'll have to make a couple of runs and figure out where to apply the brakes and when not to. If you're using the trigger for accelerate don't just mash it down on the corners slowly apply pressure so you're back end doesn't come way out. You basically want to keep as much grip as possible while making the turns.

closest I have gotten is like 5 seconds off the bronze times. frustrating.

there are about ten. I got a '97 with all the bells and whistles if you got something good to trade for it. You can use it in quite a few races.

I also have a good many of the cars you need for the bonus races if any wants to trade for them. I guess no one is using the trading thread. :cry:
