DOHOHO! i brought my dad into it, long story short the update is installed.

I'd be quite surprised if it worked.
Did it?

I'm afraid you might have to buy a new graphics card.  From what I've heard NVIDIA has a higher frame rate.

What the forget, there's so much derp in that sentence.
Please, for the love of god, people, don't try to help if you don't know stuff. You'll only cause problems for everyone.

I have also seen a lot of information that you need at least a 7XXX or 8XXX GeForce to even run it. I wouldn't risk it unless you can pick it up cheap somewhere, then go from there.

Wait for a steam sale.

So you got a new computer and are using a VGA video cable? Fail.

I do have one of those old Desktop computers, Ill go try that and post results.

EDIT: Well darn The cable works on my spare computer so it must be the M9250Fs video card.

That's not a real video card.

The video card is equal to an 8400M or a GS9200.
It's not too bad, but it is old.
Would've been quite good in it's day.

250W?
Spare it.

I knew of this idea before, and thought I saw something that did it, but didn't know the details.
Also the bandwidth problem. The one I saw, I think was USB. Fail.

surprised ethan still isn't here

bumping so that he will see it eventually.

i think that's your bald tires more than anything, br0. driving around with tires that bald is seriously dangerous

ford is cheap and the non-american ones tend to be fairly reliable. also, wheelspin and burnouts on fwd cars looks handicapped (gj, smoke drifts into the cabin and blinds you) and makes the steering wheel spaz and try to steer your car into the nearest pole.

Yeah, cause it doesn't wheelspin nearly as much on smooth roads.
And yeah, Fords are really common over here, especially Falcons which are Australian Fords.
Also this was great condition, it would normally cost about $4k over here for that condition. Right place, right time. So yeah, cheap.

who did you buy it from?

Some guy. Not telling some random forum person.

Read Title as "Ethans's New Carl"

:/

Lol, new 15" inch tires are $100 bucks a piece.

Edit: go with toyo if you do replace the tires

I know.
I've booked in at Firestone for 2 new tires on the front, and a full wheel alignment.

I'm thinking of either a Nissan 370z or a Mitsubishi Lancer for my next car.

You're rich :D

I like it! Your lucky to have a nice car to drive in-my parents aren't going to pay anything for a car for me and my twin when I turn 16 next year, so I'm just going to put a street kit on my dirtbike and just ride it around, even though I'll look like a complete redneck because I live in a nice city.
MY dream first car is a ford taurus. Ford Ranger

Thanks man :D
Good luck with the car. They aren't too expensive if you look around :)

Have you gotten any awesome drifts on it  

Unfortunately it is FWD.
However it has 4 wheel steering so handles really nicely.
EDIT:Though I must say it is really quite hard to take off from an intersection without some wheelspin. It has lots of pull :)


I'm going to keep it for a long time, and buy another car for skidding/drifting/showing off etc :D
Most likely a Nissan 180sx.

Neat!

Now post a photo of you in it TROLOL.

Soon soon :)

i've never ever had any good experiences with a ford

but good luck, hopefully you wont get a rusty hole in the floor like the escorts get

Ha
I remember when I was 5, my mother had an old 1981 Datsun Sunny.
It ended up with a big hole in the passenger floor like that.

Does it have a V6 engine?

I have said 2 times that it is a "2.5L KL-DE V6 engine producing ~180 to ~200HP"
Read OP.

Ohhh yeah that will do it. Although to be honest I never knew that was illegal. I know it won't pass inspection and thats its extremely dangerous but I never knew that was illegal.

If I get pulled up, I'll get fined.

Also, side note: I can't get insurance for this, apparently it's too powerful for me lol.
