FMC StockHatch Series 1 - General Chat

Please be sure to review the Rules and Regulations thread for changes that were made after the event went live. They were supposed to be done before it went live.

The registration date was changed from Sunday, the 5th, to Wednesday, the 8th. In addition, the Lagout/Retirement section had the "75% Rule" edited out.

Inspections will be conducted for this series.

Car requirements prior to inspection:

• Number plates in appropriate locations
  
• FMC url
  
• Completed livery (please keep locked vinyls to zero, if possible--car cannot be gifted when locked vinyls are used)
  
• BASE, generic tune (be careful when sharing tunes between club members--could change your build by accident)
  
• No extra parts (if found, car will be returned)
  

Once inspected, build CANNOT be changed.

Despite saying I would race I cannot race due to scheduling, sorry. Back in the day I was able to run this an the Trans Am at 9 but with the stock hatch races being extended on top of the already lengthy process of qualifying I'm afraid I can't squeeze this in due to being the organizer of the Trans Am series, can't really back out on that.

Going through some cars (all of them at some point), the SEAT has a front bumper that is NOT Forza brand but has ADJUSTABLE aero. I figured I'd ask if that could be used so everyone would know in advance either way. I wouldn't use it to begin with, no aero is the way to go

Adjustable aero is NOT permitted.

Thank you, Diablo! Sorry we missed that one!

No problem. Its too bad I can't run this whole series. I'm headed off to college for summer classes a week after the first race, but I'll be back for the last two. So basically, I'm just tuning for fun.

I'll be in the only japanese car on the list, once the VTEC kicks in, its done son.

Which Honda Civic would that be Bullet?
I may be in one of those

By my guess, Bullet is referring to the 04, which does not have a turbo, relying on its VTEC. Right now I think I have a car picked, but there is another possibly 2 that I am still considering.

I'm biased towards the GTI because I like it in real life.

Neo, GMT and UK times are currently not the same. 7PM EDT = 11PM GMT = 12AM BST

United Kingdom is not on GMT during summer.

The 07, need a turbo. Turbo + VTEC + POWAAAAAAAR.

I still need to review the times in the UK so that is correct. Should be sending out XBL messages to announce the race.

In addition, please verify you are on the EZT StockHatch FL. Shortly after the series was announced, I cleared out that gamertag's XBL FL. So, you may or may not be on it as of now. Please verify you're on it. It is the means by which the hosts contact you for qualifying or even racing.

Please forgive any inconvenience this may cause.

I believe I am ready for inspection. But I need the #plate and to know who I should send the car to.

EZT PDILLY has the number plate. He will gift it to you.

You may gift your car--with a generic tune (see Inspection post above) for specifics--to either:

• EZT PDILLY
  
• EZT Neo 45
  
• EZT Uncabunca
  

Thanks!

8pm est time is the time of race starts?

will send the number plate out friday night or sat morning still on vacation!

Yes, 8 PM Eastern

For anyone new to this series and new to the site, i can help you with a build and somewhat help you with a tune.

Does that include members of opposing teams of EZT?

Will send car over here later neo. Sorry for the delay. For some reason I thought it was next week to send the builds. OOOPS!

Please be advised, I will not be able to inspect cars tomorrow (Monday). If you send me a car tomorrow you will NOT get it back before the first race. Any cars I get today, I will send back today. Thanks.

I need my car checked please... just got it back from being painted.
