NO, straight from Sony Intractive. (havn't we been over this already?) >Is this going to be converted to the PC, if so when??? >Nate
Well, I have heard talk about it around here, and I was just wondering, does it say no on their website, or somewhere else, cause I was all over the playstation site last night, and I could not find it...

The guy at Sony mailed me this: Arrogant or what? That's about 120 English for the PSX + about 150 for the wheel + about 30 making 300 English pounds for a game! Plus there is talk that it won't even run on PSX2. Which means I for one will never own it until a good PSX emulator comes out for pc - they'll miss out on a whole load of cash from all of us who can't justify that sort of price on what is just a game.

I got my first look at Grand Turismo today. My friend was showing it to me and he said that there were parts for the car that the program would not let him purchase. He didn't know why he couldn't purchase these parts and wanted me to post the question: Are there certain perameters that allow you to choose these parts? I know he was looking at the turbo chargers and could not purchase any of them. Any info would be greatly appreciated, Gary
You can't add a Turbo to a car that doesn't start out with one, you can only upgrade existing turbos. So if a car starts out naturally aspirated, unfortunately it stays that way.

Just like the real world. TRD, for example, doesn't make a turbo for some Toyotas. : I got my first look at Grand Turismo today.

There are a couple models of the Civic you can turbo-charge, and I think the Mazda Demio A-spec as well, but I think that's it. Ben -={ To get my real email address, remove the NOSPAM }=- SPAMMERS!!! Read this!!! No spam for me! Unwanted, unsolicited commmercial email WILL be dealt with.. And, why the hell do you even bother sending the shit if you don't include your own return address?

Kyle Roberts wrote That's not quite true. It seems that they base the available kits on what is actually available on the marketplace, possibly only from the actual supplier listed. For example, the MX5/Miata is normally aspirated but does have a turbo kit available for it in GT. However, this seems to be the Mazda kit and none of the other (real world) after-market kits with more power are available. (And the Monster Miata V8 conversion isn't available either!) Still want my NSX turbo though - I'm told you can win one. -- Thomas Beagle 1991 MX5 BRG Sapphire Technology Ltd
