MARTIN R Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Ok so I paid £29.99 but the game is awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest komp Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 you beat Jeremy Clarksons time when he only just beat 10 minutes in a new Jag (I think) on Top Gear to real life. I've only tried it once (10:19) so maybe next time??? The final flat out section is just nuts and seems to take forever, especially when the clock is ticking Getting the licenses is certainly boring - get yourself on to missions or events and start earning some dosh for real cars. yup churning thru these missions.... upto IA ones now.... my god its hard in that little silver rowing boat to catch them up and stay there...

SupraStar 3000 Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 WOW... this game is cool. Can't stop playing it Lovin the BMW Z4, and hope we get to drive the Skyline Pace car. Anyone know how you activate the NOS gas whilst racing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest komp Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 dunno about the NOS. Have you won the Nike Car lol is that a "weird" drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 well, you can buy NOS so you must be able to use it! Yes, the Nike car is great fun. Not sure about the sound tho. BUUZZZZzzzzzz Talking of sound, anyone else noticed the porsche doesn't have any engine noise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted March 12, 2005 Author Share Posted March 12, 2005 NOS - hold down R1 ('special') - if you have NOS you should have a red bar above the fuel one, this is your nitrous. In the car setup you can mess with the amount of nitrous used in each hit, makes a lot of difference on those long straights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trig Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Anyone got the De lorean?? Just got it. Maybe in the next one they could have the A team van and the Dukes of hazzard car as a "nostalgia" class Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Just found out they have the SZ-R supra! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffleman Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Have to admit to not enjoying the licence bit, had too many joypad hurling moments ! But enjoying the game itself, my Supe is 832bhp now and leaves most things behind I did buy a steering wheel ages ago, might just have to dig it out of the loft Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tDR Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 I started with a mk3 Supra 2.5 TT R - looked the best option to start with from a tuning perspective. Currently running 426BHP with a stage 2 turbo + a 70BHP hit of NOS on top. Have done all the other mods too - triple plate clutch race flywheel, full custom suspension etc etc. but the biggest difference has been decent tyres - this thing can outcorner most cars with the Race qualifiers on but they only last 2 laps. Also bought Race Hards for the longer races which seem a good compromise. It's ready for a bigger turbo to really 0wn - I'm gonna go for the stg 4 alternative OEM turbo thing that gives almost as much power but no lag. I also have a D1GP FC3S which I've turned into a race rather than drift car with different suspension and tyres. It's down to just over 1000KG too with 410BHP and a 100BHP shot of NOS - pretty damned quick, again ready for a bigger turbo. Still likes to drift round the long corners though but it's nice and composed. The IA-15 license test in the Merc 190 Cosworth following the Skyline pace car around the nurburgring was infuriating - the amount of times I passed or rammed him because he wasn't fast enough! When I passed I got silver, but still nearly rammed him many times. I've taken to driving with manual gears all the time now since the first IA test in the Jag XJ220 at Midfield - I love that course so just had to get gold and manual gears made the difference. IA-16 grad test was nuts too - so bloody fast at 235mph for a good chunk of the lap! Gonna crack on with the Special license 1st today before continuing to race. I love this game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 wooops!! Just lost ALL my credits by messing around with a massively mod’ed R34 and buying a 2nd to compare the times (not thinking I could have done that in arcade mode) and that stupid 'auto-save' just lost all my credits Whats the best car to start with and easiest way to earn big money.

Bobbeh Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 I've finally founds some cars that drift well, the Rx7 Type S is a hoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seb Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 You can turn the auto save off if you like. As for making money - the George Paris Normal difficulty rally wins you 20k and a rally car worth 265k - you can win this as many times as you like as the game asks if you would like to clear your records for the race if you want to race again after you've won once. Clearing the records doesn't affect your win ratio, btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Cheers Seb, thats what I'm gona do then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Got my wheel delivered the other day, been playing with that all the time, makes the game far more enjoyable and life like. Finally got my Supra too Had to wait for it to appear in the used car section. I bought an R34 Skyline GTR and modded it to ~ 400bhp, its awful, Good launch etc but crap top end. My similarly modded Supra kills it once its moving. The NOS is a cool option too Very good cheap mod to help you compete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 what's the best way of making money in this game? modded my R33 GTR a bit - it sucked! sold it in the end! skint though because i only got 4000 ish for it, spent it on my supra though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Best way is getting a half decent car than can be used as a good platform for mods, ie a turbo car, enter some of the better races and earn that cash! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 tried that mate, just gettin a bit borin beatin everyone with my Mkiii supe.....i want a mkiv!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
