This is the Datsun I started out with, and after a full conversion and some mad tuning I've gotten it to R3 status and it is a drifting/race BEAST!!

Im currently 'pimping' out a Pontiac 04 GTO (a Holden Monaro in disguise)
Currently got it to A spec... don't want to mod it further as it seems I can't use it for very many races where im at as im still racing C and B class cars
So im working on the paint job
...yes I only just realised I could upload things onto Forza 3 servers... lol... So thats why these are photographs lol _________________ http://bencadphotography.com/

My God, that is made of so much freaking win I can't begin to lay down the praise.
EDIT: this post was for the awesomeness, that was the Datsun. Sorry Shadow Wave.

For the people who got the game from GAME and had a problem with the wrong car as the pre-order bonus, the evo x instead of the e92, I was at my local GAME today and they had some memo from head office saying that this was a mistake by MS in printing the wrong codes on the cards and supposedly new cards will be delivered to your GAME store soon. They are taking details of people at GAME stores and will contact you when the new cards arrive if you have provided your details and purchased the game from them. _________________ RIP Buddha 19/10/1952 - 03/01/2004

K, so I went and ditched the Pontiac GTO and went with the Vauxhall, as it is much closer to the Aussie Monaro, then I did a similar paint job, added my number plates, and I think it turned out great
Can't believe I spent like 2 hours just mucking around with paint jobs lol
One thing that annoyed the crap out of me, is you can't change the lighting in the custom paint section, so whenever you are doing something custom on the rear of the car its all in shadow and hard to see etc. _________________ http://bencadphotography.com/

Bond... James Bond. I had good fun cruising around the Amalfi Coast track in the DB5 on the interior view last night. I felt pretty suave

You need to use a program to convert it as YouTube won't accept the codec that it's encoded with on the 360. I don't know much about your options on the Windows side, but Windows Movie Maker might work? I'm sure Google can help more. _________________

Well apparently youtube doesnt like the 720p Forza3 files, but its fine with the 320p (or 360p or whatever it is) ones. It worked for me without having to convert. _________________ XBL/PSN/Steam: BenC82

Did anyone order Forza 3 with the 1500M$ points bundle from Fishbond and did you actually receive it? I don't know whether to just be patient or make a claim on PayPal. _________________

For those that got the LCE, you can get your LCE Theme here
http://www.xbox.com/forza3lcetheme
Warning, its pretty average! Assume it only works for those that have played the LCE as you need to sign in to download it.
BTW as everyones posting Monaro pics, heres a livery I bought today.

Regulars around here would know all too well that Forza is one of my favourite franchises ever, and naturally anticipation for the third iteration was extremely high.
Well let's all now take a moment to point and laugh at Nismo and the fact that, on the very day that he received Forza 3 in the mail, his Xbox 360 decided to display the E74 error. Yep, how much more convenient and awesome can you get?
I had to laugh though. I got the game early on Tuesday (release was meant to be Friday the 23rd) and when I got over the surprise of it coming so early, I braced myself for an epic race session later that night. When I turned the 360 on and saw the error, I laughed, thought to myself "Well then, guess it's back to Uncharted 2 and Metroid Prime Trilogy then," and went out to get some dinner. Came back afterwards and somehow managed to get the console on and, of course, promptly played the game. Unfortunately it had/has artifacting across the screen so it wasn't ideal, but at least I got to play it. I also managed to play it on the Wednesday and Thursday, after somehow getting the console to work again on both days.
I still have no idea how I did that. I haven't been able to get it on since and I definitely need to buy a new Core/Arcade model, but yeah, that's my (lame) story. Of all the months, weeks and even days that my console had to break, it had to be Forza 3 day. Boy I'm lucky. _________________
