Careful, she bites. Behold the SHARK Energy Nissan 370Z Nismo. Share: 518 739 228

I joined the lovely folks over on the {FH6} Pro League Server and made a livery for the car I'll be driving during their events. Feast your eves on the SHARK Energy 370Z Nismo! The idea is that the designer of the 370Z said that, when he was designing the car, Shark Week was on the discovery channel and he was like "yeah you son of a bitch that's it." And since there's an Energy drink called SHARK that DID sponsor Motorsports (albeit NASCAR but oh well), boom, an Idea was in my head.

I'm a hobby livery designer in Forza Horizon, I need authentic inspiration.

Are there any good databases or best ofs with racing liveries across the ages? From popular ones like the 555 Subis in rally to very regional touring car stuff, NASCAR to drifting, amateur to the highest levels, I'm looking for everything on four wheels.

Someone got any ideas where to look?

Is it worth it getting into FM now?

Hey y'all, I'm contemplating getting into Forza Motorsport cause I'm looking for something simcade-ish in the same vein as need for speed Shift and Project Cars and FM2023 popped up quite a few times when I googled for it.

I'm a hobby author and wrote an opinion piece on the colour options for the classic Challenger R/T and T/A (and its cousin, the Plymouth 'Cuda)

Let me know what you think if you read it. Have fun!

Done with my next, fictional but authentic livery!

Done with my newest livery! It's inspired by Need for Speed Shift 2's liveries and a bit of DTM. I made up a fictional racing series for it, the RS4ECS (the RS4 European Championship). For the indtended look, get the Oettinger Type E wheels in their base dimensions.

Overhauled my 60s/70s livery for the 240Z, tried to make it fictional but authentic

I have this weird obsession with creating fictional liveries that still look historically authentic, so I present you my drastically revamped 240Z that, if my research (and there was a LOT OF IT), could've raced in a clubsport level internationally. Austrian driver (me) with Japanese, British, American, French, Dutch and German sponsors, kinda like "we'll take what money we can get". LMK what you think 🙂

The Datsun 240Z is my dream car and it really woke my passion for car colours and designs, so I wrote an opinion piece on the former.

Sorry if posts like that aren't well liked here, but still, if you want to read it, here it is:

I'd really appreciate comments, either here or on Substack itself, and maybe shares with other car people you may know. Writing about cars is really fun and I'd love to build an audience for it.

I just finished Evangelion 3.0 + 1.0 and I'm so confused...

Does it contradict EoE because it calls back to it, are Shinji and Mari the only ones who still remember the Evas? Are the Rei, Asuka and Kaworu seen at the end the originals or normal people? Are Shinji and Mari a couple and why them instead of Shinji /Asuka or Shinji/Rei, what the hell was going on with the assault on Nerv HQ... Why are we in the real world for the very end!? I love Eva but why the fuck is it so confusing!?

I started writing automotive articles, would appreciate a read and feedback if you're interested in such a thing, from one car guy to others.

I couldn't post the article into the header or share it as directly as Substack is delisted, but if you want to give it a read regardless, I'd appreciate it.

My handle is @wheelsofcolour on Substack and I write on why I personally think certain colours look amazing on others and out of place on others and vice versa. I pick two "good" specs and two "bad" ones, my first piece is on the S30 Nissan.

My fictional (but period-appropriate) Porsche 911 Turbo 3.3 livery is done! Share code: 143 519 260.

So I have this thing about cars in their official colors and I thought why not pick two colors I like (here, Minerva Blue and Guards Red) and two colors I don't (here, Bamboo Beige and Moccha) for a ride, make a basic design out of that and then add fitting recreations of period-accurate logos of (possible) motorsport sponsors. The idea behind this design was "privateer Porsche 911 3.3 that raced in the 80s with an Austrian driver and exclusively Austro-German sponsorship".

So I did a lotta research and found that the famed suspension company Bilstein is a huge supplier but hardly ever - if ever - was the main sponsor. So I made them the head sponsor here.

Semperit is an Austrian tire company belonging to Continental these days. Recaro needs no introduction. Gösser Bräu is an Austrian brewery from right across the corner where I live, and beer/alcohol sponsorships were huge in the 80s - think about the Jägermeister 911. And Gösser DID sponsor four BMWs in the 70s, so I figured sure, why not.

The minor sponsors are Bosch (electronics), ARAL (fuel supplier in Germany), Textar is a brake-company, Sonax is a car care product supplier that loves sponsoring private entries and Mahle produces engine parts. HELLA does Lighting systems.

I wanted to add an 80s Logo of FUCHS (for the legendary FUCHS-Wheels that 911s had/have), but couldn't find one.

All in all I'm really happy with how it came out even though it was a lot of work.

WIP of an 80s inspired Porsche 911 930 3.3 Turbo

Base color is Minerva Blue, the stripes and decals are in Bamboo Beige with pops of Guard's Red and Moccha Brown as contrast. I still need to apply the sponsor/aftermarket logos and need to recreate a few of them first, but if you like it and want to modify it, let me know and I'll drop the share code.

Zählen Huawei Health und Yazio langsames Radfahren als Schritte? Weil das verfälscht sehr viel wenn...

Servus,

Hab heute Mal mit meiner Frau ne kleine Radtour unternommen. Wir waren davor noch beim Lidl einkaufen und waren während der Fahrt kurz in einem Baumarkt was für's Rad holen, aber das waren bestenfalls 5k. Meine Frau war schon vor mir wacj und hat gehaushaltet und sie hat nur ca 5.3k. Jetzt meine Frage - es ist ziemlich offensichtlich, dass mein Huawei Health langsames Radfahren - von der Ampel losfahren, hinter Familien hertuckern etc - als Schritte zählt, abet die Fahrt als solches als eine Einheit erfasst, auch wenn ich bei jeder roten Ampel die Fahrt an der Ampel gestoppt hab. Google Fit zeigt mir Radfahren überhaupt nicht als Aktivität an.

Kann ich irgendwie verhindern, dass Huawei Health langsames radeln als Schritte zählt und somit die Kalorienerfassung verhunzt? Weil im Yazio hab ich jetzt 1.5k verbrannte KCal drin und nach ein wenig shoppen und einer Stunde ziemlich entspanntem radeln glaub ich kaum dass das bei 122.5kg / 193cm zusammenpasst...

Hab ein Band 8.

60s/70s inspired 240Z [FH6]

I made a very 60s/70s inspired livery for the 240Z that only uses colors it was originally available in. I'm a huge nerd for official car colors, so the base color is Orange, the main contrast color is yellow and some pops of color are in dark bronze and dark green. The logos are mostly of my own creation and ported over from Fh5, besides the ones that Forza itself offers.
