Hints: Purge nitrous:
To purge your nitrous and appear to shoot out smoke,
either put your car in neutral, or at the beginning of the race
hit 'Nitrous'.
Hints: Samantha's car:
Keep getting style points until you get all the vinyls,
then fill up the next meter.
Hints: Vinyl color:
To change color of vinyl, select your vinyl and hit
A. Then, hit
B
to leave the menu. Next, hit
X
and the color menu will appear. Then, choose a color.
Hints: Defeating Eddie:
An easy way to defeat Eddie is to run into the back
of his car and continue to stay there. The CPU does not know what
to do in this situation, and spins out at the first turn.
Choose a Nissan Skyline and you should start out in the lead.
Try to maintain it, because you cannot easily get the lead back.
Also, you may not get the lead in the beginning with other cars
[the same with Melissa].
Hints: Glitch: Two for one spoiler:
During Underground mode, Samantha will let you chose
between three spoilers for your car. If you chose the Katana,
whenever you customize a car outside of Underground mode, you
will have both the Katana and Dual GT spoiler.
Hints: Easier drag wins:
To get to higher gears quicker in drag races, tap
L
repeatedly as needed to increase the RPM to the appropriate level
to switch the gear. This also lessens the full force of the nitrous
to lower the chance of burning the engine out.
While drag racing, once you get into fourth gear use your nitrous.
Your meter will shoot up into the red zone. Then, switch gears
and get a perfect shift. You will get more speed when you do this.
You can do this as long as you have nitrous.
Keep tapping 'Nitrous'
at the start of the race.
At the beginning of a drag race, hold the gas. Your engine will
not blow. When the race starts, you will get a head start. However,
you will need to shift immediately after the race starts.
When you are about to start the drag race, hold 'Accelerate'
and you should see the speedometer go all the way up. When the
race begins it will over rev. Do not worry about it, you should
be in first place.
When you have all level three performances and unique upgrades,
choose the Mazda RX-7. Play a quick race at 14th and Vine, and
have only perfect shifts and use nitrous since third. You can
get a time less than 21 seconds.
Hints: Use rims that normally will not fit:
Certain cars can only fit so big of a rim. For example,
the Miata can only fit 17s, but if you get a car like the Skyline
put 20s on it and trade it in for the Miata. The Miata will now
have the 20s that the Skyline had in it. Do not try to install
any other rims on your new car because the rims will go back to
the maximum sized allowed.
Hints: All parts:
To unlock all of the parts, complete Underground mode.
Hints: Junkman's Honda Civic:
Get 2,250,000 style points in quick race mode.
Hints: Always land on wheels:
The Dodge Neon tuned to the extreme will almost all
of the time land on its tires. This makes it usefulk for heavy
traffic. Note you will lose some speed.
When a Miata is fully tuned, after hitting a car it will land
back on the ground and you will start to lose control. Because
the miata has so much power it will do a semi-cat walk.
Hints: Recommended cars:
The stats on the performance bars are not all that
count. The Mazda RX-7 is extremely responsive. Quick movements
and the ability to get yourself out of tight jams is what wins
the race. The Mazda RX-7 responds very quickly and can help you
out a lot with dodging cars and making it through quick S turns.
The RX-7 may not have as good of a turning radius as the Skyline,
but this can be compensated by holding the gas and hiting the
brake at the same time while in a turn. This may bring your speed
down a bit, but it also tightens your turning radius. Use this
tactic when speeding through one of the tunnels with poles in
the middle. Do not be discouraged by the poor start of the RX-7.
This car will make up for it with its phenomenal top speed and
ability to turn quickly. Objects always appear at a set distance
ahead of you. At high speeds this will only give you a small instant
for you to react and for your car to respond to your commands.
The RX-7 responds faster than the Skyline, and therefore gives
you a definite advantage at high speeds. It also turns more tightly
at low speeds. It is also a good tool to use in Drift challenges
because it is a light rear wheel drive. When you go sideways,
the tires will just keep spinning as you drift. There is no need
to use the handbrake with this car in drift mode except to slow
yourself down -- you will continue to accelerate a lot with this
car in drifts. Because drifting does not slow the car down [as
long as you hold the gas], it is easy to go into a wall. There
is no other car that can make it all the way around the 3/4 circle
in a perfect 3/4 circle without losing speed. Do not use stock
tires with the fully souped up RX-7 in drift mode, as the car
is extremely slick on the ground [light rear wheel drive].
The best car to start with is the Mazda MX5. It has a great top
speed, moderate acceleration and awesome handling. The car is
also one of the best cars to continue the game with. Only the
Mazda RX7 and Nissan Skyline are better.
For the drag part, use a Honda S2000. If you have the perfect
shift and the extreme performances, you will be about three or
more seconds ahead of everyone. For drifting, try a Mazda RX-7
because its a good rear wheel drive car. For the rest, try using
a Civic, Skyline, Eclipse, and the Acuras. They have quick response,
but not to the point where you will hit the wall and sometimes
spin out.
The best handling car is the Mazda MX-5. The best car in acceleration
is the Acura RSX. The best top speed car is the Nissan Skyline
R34J. The Volkswagon Golf GTi or the Mitsubishi Lancer are not
recommended starters in Underground mode.
The best car to select when starting a new game is probably the
Neon [until you get farther into the game, some tracks get very
difficult].
Hints: See where you are landing in slow
Hints: Easy drift points:
Simply stay behind a car and watch the points rack
up.
Turn off the stability control by going into options and selecting
'Car'. This will make the car drift easier.
As you progress through the levels, the score required to win
the drift competitions get higher, especially when you have upgraded
your car's handling. Before you enter the drift competitions,
go into 'Customize Car' and 'Setup'. For example,
go to the engine upgrade section and refit stock tires to your
chosen wheels. This will make drifting much easier. As you approach
a bend with a bit of speed, back off the throttle, turn into it,
and return to full throttle. With practice you can earn 50,000
style points on the figure of eight style track. Note: Do not
forget to refit the better tires before entering a street race.
To get more points in drag and drift races, use named cars[Petey
Pablo, Rob Zombie and Lost Prophets].
Use the Mazda Miata. Keep it in second gear. To achieve an easier
drift, switch between first and second gears.
Unlock the first drift track, then tune the RX-7 to extreme. To
do an Insane drift for 50,000 points, when you go around corners,
drive into the bonus zone at the inside and outside of the track.
Do not tap the hand brake. When on the straight away, swerve slightly
to keep the combo going. About two or three laps drifting is required
to get it.
Whenever your RPMs go down from hitting something or sliding out,
hold the emergency brake until they get very high. Release the
emergency brake, then tap it again. Your RPMs will go up. giving
you easier points.
Hints: No Way Jose race:
Jose will start strong, but then will sometime make
the mistake of trying to take a short-cut during the race. He
drives off track and will allow you to take the lead. He may kick
your tail in the first lap, but this 'shortcut' causes
his downfall. During your race, do not crash and you should defeat
Jose.
Hints: 1988 Nissan Skyline GTR34:
Select underground mode and complete at least the first
80 missions. A recommended car to use is the Acura RSX. You will
then challenge Samantha. Defeat her under the medium difficulty
setting and win the next drag race to unlock the 1998 Nissan Skyline
GTR34.
Hints: Easy style points:
After you unlock the oval drift track, go into 'Quick
Race' and choose that track. Then, race around it using the
handbrake to powerslide into the corners. Depending on how good
you are, you will unlock rewards every time you fill your meter,
which does not take too long.
Go to quick race mode and choose any circuit. Set it to five laps
with maximum cars on. Then, just get near misses in a row to get
a large amount of points. Once your reputation goes up you can
make 20,000 points in one go around.
Press 'Nitrous'
at the start of a race to purge your nitrous
for 150 style points.
Unlock the Toyota Celica in split screen/quick race mode and successfully
complete the first tournament in underground mode. Go to 'Customize
Ride' at the main menu and select the Toyota Celica. Select
the 'Performance' option and equip your new engine,
tires and drivetrain. It does not matter what brand package you
choose for them. Return to the menu where you choose from 'Visual',
'Performance', etc. Choose 'Visual', then
equip your vehicle with parts from all of these options [though
putting decals, painting, and placing vinyl on the vehicle is
not necessary]. Do not use any default parts. If your vehicle
does not have a two star reputation rating or more, then you may
have forgotten an option. Note: In the body section, the last
option may be locked; it is not necessary for this trick. Return
to the main menu and select 'Quick Race', then 'Drift
Race'. Select your Celica. Select the square track [should
already be highlighted], and set the difficulty to medium and
lap number to 10. You should be able to easily get 'Great
Drifts', and if you are good enough, you can get 'Superb
Drift' and 'Colossal Drift' ratings occasionally.
You will get a lot of style points for doing these drifts. This
is an easy way to get style points early in the game. Also try
to do drifts around corners in the bonus zone areas rather then
doing drifts throughout the track.
Go to quick race, then select 'Drift' and use the little
square track. Keep doing this to win vinyls, cars like Eddie's
Skyline, the Mystikal car, and more.
When you are drifting with a four wheel drive car, use the handbrake,
turn, and hit
X
at the same time to get more points.
Once you have unlocked the orange Acura Type R in Underground
mode, use it in regular quick race and win. Doing this will multiply
your style points by five because this Acura has five reputation
stars. Your style points gauge will fill up quicker, allowing
you to unlock other things faster.
Get a car with decent acceleration, but not too fast. Select the
drift tracks. When the race is about to start, hit
Start
and turn off the 'Drift Help' [under 'Car'
options]. This will make it easier to go sideways for more style
points. Once the race starts, skid around the first turn, but
do not go all out sideways, as you will not have enough speed.
Wait until the next turn. As you come up to this turn, hold the
Analog-stick
in the desired direction, release
R, tap
A, then hold
R
again. The faster this sequence
is done, the more speed you will have going around the turn. However,
if you hold
A
slightly longer, you will go a little slower
but the angle of your car will be greater. It will take some practice
to master the correct speed and car angle.
Turn on ramps in drag mode for extra style points.
Use a Nissan Skyline with all the performance upgrades and five
stars. Do Drift Track 6 in quick race mode and you should get
100,000 to 200,000 style points [not drift points].
Go to the quick race menu and select the 'Drift Race'.
Choose a 5-star car, or the highest amount star car available
to you. Then, select Drift Track 1 or 2. Choose ten laps and easy
opponents. After you finish the ten laps of drifting, the style
points will be multiplied by the amount of stars your car has.
You may end up getting from 10,000 points to 100,000 points, depending
how good you are at drifting.
