Hints: More horsepower and torque:
To add more horsepower and torque, go to 'Customize', then tune a car up to level 3 parts. Then, go to
'Performance Tune/Dyno'. Choose for example, 'Drag', then go to 'Tune Settings'. Go to 'ECU' and
set it so that from 5 rpm to 9 rpm or whatever is the most the maximum amount of torque you can add.
Do the same for 'Turbo'. Then. go to 'Nitrous' and set the duration to 4 seconds. This will add
both torque and horsepower to your ride.

Hints: Finding hidden shops:
Look at road signs around the city. They often have colored shapes [yellow triangles, etc.] to guide
the way to the shops. Also, look for street-lights casting a colored glow. This indicates that there
is a shop very close.
Hints: Easy money:
Gathering the little information logos around the city gives you money. You will receive $25 for each
one.
As soon as you start the game, ignore Rachel's request to go to the car lot. Instead, try to collect
as many information icons as possible. This will give you that little extra money to start modding
your car, and will save time as you do not have to look for them in your initially slow car. Also,
enter the two races shown on your GPS [circuit and sprint races]. Going in these two races will
give you at least 500 points in the bank. You should receive a message to get to the car lot now.
Do so, and continue playing the game.
Listen to the other racers that periodically talk to you. They will say a general location in the city
where you can find hidden races not shown on the map that are worth $850 instead of the usual $300.
In the career mode menu, go to the world map. Select any race that has not been completed in any stage.
Once the race has started, pause game play and restart. After you have won the race, a screen will
appear showing you how many reputation points and how much bank you have won. You will then go
to the menu that asks if you want to return to explore mode, restart, etc. When this appears choose
'Return To Main Menu'. You do not have to save the game. Then, just go back into the career menu
and select the 'World Map' option again. Choose another race that has not been completed and start
it. If done correctly, all of the races in the world map will be against three Toyota Corollas
or a mixture of Hummers, Escalades and Navigators. If you restart these races, you will always get
money if you win.
When you start with Rachel's car, do not take it back immediately. Instead, do some outruns and races
to get money. You will then have a boost of money when you get your own car.
In career mode, eventually you will get sponsored and there will be purple crosses on the map. If you
go to them, they are usually a sponsored circuit race. If you win them, you will get $900.
Enter career mode and go down to the Burger King and Best Buy area. Drive around and look for a stone
wall and alley by the town shops. Go into the alley and turn sharply to the right. There will be
a parking lot where an opponent will be sitting. He will not be appear on your navigation map, nor
will you. You can challenge this opponent to an easy outrun. He will always drive towards the stadium.
After you beat him, return to the parking lot where two red info messages will appear. Get them
for $25 each. After you collect them, go into a garage, shop, etc., and save the game. Then, go
back to the parking lot. Five green money bags will be there. Gather them, jump to the garage [on
the main menu screen] and return for five more. This will get you money much easier than racing.
You can earn big money in stage 5. Go to garage in any stage of career mode and go to the world map.
You can participate in races from previous stages. If you race one, pause game play and restart the
race. You will get a bigger bank than if you had waited until you were done with all the stages
[up to $31,00 in stage 5].
Once you have completed the game and are taking a long time to get money, go to your garage and access
the world map. Find events that you have not completed. The races that are not completed may have
money waiting once you win the race.
Use the following trick to get more money for winning a race. Watch for races that are not marked on
the map. They give you more money for winning than a regular race.
Hints: Get to top speed faster:
To get to your top speed faster, go into your garage then go to 'Tune up/Dyno'. After that, go to 'Circuit'
and select the ECU. Make levels 3, 4, and 5 as low as possible; with 3 the lowest. Do a dyno
run and look at your speed. Compare this to the first time you did it. It should increase a lot,
helping in all your races.
Hints: Glitch: Car jump:
Buy hydraulics, then go up to a wall. Note: This will not work on all walls. Stop and use the hydraulics.
Keep doing it until your car flies into the air.
Get hydraulics on your car; the higher level the better. Drive straight into a building, then activate
your hydraulics. Keep activating them at a high rate of speed. If done correctly, you will be shot
up into the air.
Hints: Mustang GT: Avoid spins:
In career mode when you unlock The Mustang GT, be careful when you put in the top engine with the top
ECU. When going fast, watch out for sharp turns. You might spin out in a race; try to work on your
handling.
Hints: Glitch: Hydraulic points:
Land on the roof of your car during an accident. When it enters slow motion, activate your hydraulics
and watch the points rack up. It is possible to get 2,000 points by doing this.
Hints: Unique upgrades:
Hoods: 4 wins in outrun level 2.
Engine, transmission or tires: 3 wins in outrun level 3.
Rims: 6 wins in outrun level 3.
Spoilers: 4 wins in outrun level 4.
Vinyls: 6 wins in outrun level 4.
ECU, turbo or brakes: 9 wins in outrun level 4.
NOS, weight or suspension: 6 wins in outrun level 5.
Wide body kits.: 11 wins in outrun level 5.
Hints: Fast career car:
Use the following trick to create an extremely fast and high starred car quickly. When you start career
mode, choose a Peugeot 106. Try not to get any upgrades unless you need them. Keep winning races
and playing through the game until you unlock the Toyota Celica This can be made into the fastest
car in the game. Get it immediately when it is unlocked. This should be sometime in level 2. Play
through the game, making sure to take the opportunity to do of any outruns. This will unlock unique
upgrades. When you unlock the unique part, you will have to go to a star on the map first. The
game will tell you to go to a certain shop, depending on what the unique is. The first one is a unique
hood. You must win four outruns for it. Then in stage 3, you need will need three outrun wins
for a unique engine, transmission, or tire set. Choose the engine. For unique rims , get six wins
in stage 3. The spoilers require four wins on stage 4. The vinyls require six wins on stage 4. The
ECU, turbo or brakes require nine wins on stage 4. Select the ECU. The NOS, weight or suspension
uniques require six wins on stage 5. Select NOS for an extra long boost. Finally, the wide body
kits uniques require eleven wins on stage 5. Put all of these on your Celica, and it will be the fastest
car in the game. Note: Do not forget to install the performance upgrades up to level 3.
Hints: Pimpmobile:
Take a Nissan Skyline, Ford Mustang or anything else with the same body shape. Put on any desired body
parts, apart from 'CF' items. Then, set everything that can have its color changed to a light gold.
Leave it like that with no vinyls or decals and cruise the city.
Hints: Easy NOS recovery:
To get lots of NOS easily, when you are standing still hold hand brake [R]. Next, hold the gas then
hold Left or Right. You should spin around and create smoke. This should give you 300 points
instantly to recover turbo boost
Get on the highway and drive in reverse. After a few seconds you should begin racking up points on the
right side of your screen. These points will give you extra NOS. Note: Crashing into traffic at
high speeds will reduce your NOS.
When you are on the ground, activate hydros and keep flicking the Analog-stick Left repeatedly to get
lots of points for filling your NOS bar. You can also do about three donuts, then wait and do another
three donuts.
Use the following trick to get extra NOS at the beginning of a race. When the girls are up front waving
their hands, tap NOS to perform a 'spray show'. This should give you a little extra NOS.
If you run out of NOS in free roam mode, hit Start and select 'Jump To Garage'. As soon as you can,
exit garage mode and you should have full NOS. Note: This only fills up the first tank.
Go to any shop. Enter the shop, then leave it. You will have a full tank of NOS.
Get on a road and keep doing 360 degree turns using the handbrake. This will give you 400 points and
will add to your NOS. You can repeat this another two times.
By driving your car backwards [without hitting any cars or walls] you can fully refuel both of your NOS
tanks.
If you are going really fast or in slow motion, hit A repeatedly and move the Analog-stick Up and
Down. When you come out of slow motion you will have the maximum NOS, with two full bottles.
Enter the freeway and keep driving in reverse until the score reaches about 3000.
You can recover NOS by doing one of the following things.
Sprayshow: Purge your nitrous
Traffic Hit: Penalty from hitting traffic.
Lead Lap: Lead a lap in the race.
Clean Section: Make it through an entire race section without hitting anything.
Clean Lap: Make it through an entire lap without hitting anything.
Shortcut: Take a shortcut.
Avoid Accident: Almost get in a wreck with another car.
360: Perform a 360 or a doughnut while driving.
Best Lap: Score a best lap during a race.
Head Start: Get off the starting line the quickest.
J Turn: Drive in reverse and swing the car around to drive away forwards.
Burnout: Spin the tires.
Leap Frog: Jump your car over a traffic accident.
Hydro Bounce: Bounce your car using level 3 hydraulics.
Hints: Wining an outrun:
Once you have found an opponent to outrun with, get in front of the opponent and get in the lead. Get
as far as possible until the distance meter has reached its limit. If the distance meter starts to
drop, it indicates that the opponent is catching up. When this happens, do a handbrake skid and
turn the car around. Go back the way that you came from. The opponent will follow you as you are the
one in lead, but he will take time to catch up, giving you an advantage to win the outrun.
If you are in front of an opponent but cannot seem to lose him, head toward the center of the city [
the area that has the five fountains ]. Once there, weave through the fountains. Your opponent will
most likely crash into one of the fountains, giving you an easy win. Note: Practice going through
the fountains first before you attempt an outrun so you do not lose your money. It is easier to
do this in an SUV because it will not reach a high speed before you reach the fountains.
Find an outrun opponent then get right behind him. Draft him or her so that you can get a full tank of
NOS, if desired. Then, start to spin out your opponent. You can do this by getting directly next
to the car and turning into its back corner. While it is sideways or backwards, you can hit hit
Up to start the outrun. You will have a large head start because your opponent needs to turn around.
You can win in under 15 seconds by doing this.
This trick requires that most of the city is unlocked. Get your car and get on the highway that leads
around in a oval-like way. Challenge people on the highway for a much better chance of winning, since
top speeds are better and there are less turns than the normal roads [so you do not slow down
as much].
This trick requires a fast accelerating car. Drive to the airport where you first start the game, Next,
find an opponent to race. While racing the opponent, make sure you get into the lead then go onto
a little ramp the leads to a road just alongside the airport. After going down that road, you should
be at an intersection where you can go left or straight. Take a left turn, then go straight
down that road, which should be a parking lot. Once your opponent tries to catch up to you and gets
close to the intersection, he will go straight instead of turning. This will give you a large lead
and an easy win.
Start race with a full bar of nitrous. Come up from behind your opponent and draft until the nitrous
is full, then do a tailspin maneuver. Do this by clipping the back bumper of your opponent, which
sends them into the wall or in reverse. They will end up facing the wrong direction, giving you the
advantage.
Find an opponent and draft behind them until you have full NOS [for backup, if you have at least a dryshot
installed]. When it is full, pull up next to them. Wait until you can challenge them, then start
it. Then, ram your opponent at the rear tire. Keep pushing and to cause them to wipe out and
stop, or crash into a wall. Then just drive off on a long straight road and use your saved up NOS.
If you do not win it, you will at least have a very nice lead.
Drive up behind a car that is better than yours and hit it from the back . Then, challenge it and start
to drive away. If the car is better than yours, it has better handling and will not take as long
to get turned around and chase after you. This will encourage you to go at higher speeds and use
more of your nitrous. Do not panic if you are going fast and are not very skilled. Just trust yourself
and the car.
Use the following trick if you need to win the outrun modes for the unique parts. There is an easier
way than doing it in the streets of the city. Get onto the highway of the main city [in whichever
direction desired]. Fill up your NOS gauge by doing near misses and avoiding accidents. When it is
full and the backup is full [dark blue and light blue], find an opponent on the highway. Do not challenge
any opponents if they are behind the concrete barrier that divides the road; only the ones
on the side of the highway that you are driving on. Pull up behind them and position yourself for
the tailspin maneuver by leaning your front against the opponent's side and back bumper area. Make
sure you do not have a lot of your front and side on his back bumper, as you cannot spin him out
if your too much on him. Look behind you from the outside view to make sure you are not too much
on him [just a little]. Then, accept the challenge and immediately spin him out, if you are successful,
then hit the NOS. If you are not, pound the NOS anyway. You are still likely to win in about
5 to 15 seconds unless you crash. Do not go off of the highway. Repeat this process until you collect
enough money and get the star for the unique item you need.
Hints: Drift mode:
In drift mode, set your car up using the following this basic structure. Tune the ECU to have as much
torque as you can get in the early gears. Make all of the suspension settings as hard as possible
to eliminate shock travel. This will help get the back end out. Turn the tire grip to weak. Also,
make the cars acceleration as quick as possible. For the toe settings, lower it all the way. Make
the aero settings as weak as possible. Set the brake bias towards rear. By doing this, you will greatly
increase your score, especially on the downhill. On the straight-aways you can do Choku-Doris
[go from side to side] to rack up big points. You can then link them to power over-steer drifts,
which is when you will use the torque and acceleration to lose traction in the back tires, then
use carefully timed throttle control to get around the corner as sideways as possible. This will help
your drifts scores get as high as possible. Throttle control is very important -- do not get discouraged
if you spin out a lot. Note: This has not been attempted on FF or AWD cars. FF and AWD
cars will most likely have a softer suspension setting but everything else would probably remain the
same. FF and AWD cars also need the hand brake to initiate drifts more than a FR car would.
Hints: Easy wins:
When racing for magazine covers, unique performance or visual parts, it helps if you have both NOS bottles
filled. This can let you scab that tenth of a second that you have always missed. It also helps,
especially in the more difficult and longer stages, with small time limits, to immediately activate
the GPS as soon as you have accepted the challenge.
Tap NOS to go faster and conserve NOS. Always put your NOS at little more on power than duration when
in dyno testing and tweaking your car. This will make it easier to win races.
Hints: Two wheel donut:
Use an RX-7 with level 3 hydraulics. Put the right side up all the way, but keep the left side down.
Get the left side bouncing. Then, steer left the entire time. At first you need to get the speed in
the turn up to 20 mph for about three seconds. When on two wheels, keep it at 15 mph to stay in
a nice donut on two wheels. It can also be done the other way-- just put the left up instead of the
right.
Hints: Glitch: All spoilers:
When starting a new game, begin with the Peugeot 106. When the 'Spoiler' option is released for sale,
buy any of the cheap ones, then go to your garage. Select the 'Change Parts' option and choose 'Body'.
Then select 'Spoilers'. If done correctly you should immediately have every spoiler in the game.
Hints: Glitch: Drive in magazine:
Once you do very good in a race or get far in the game, you can take a picture for a magazine. When you
are at the screen to take the picture, go to 'Control Car'. Once there, hit A + B until the
camera angle is at the back of your car. Then, hit B and take the picture. It will show your
car in the magazine. When you are there, you can drive around inside the magazine.
Hints: Glitch: Map error:
Drive in Beacon Hill at the area where it is a big out of the way loop, where there is a small circle
that is connected to the road. This circle has a big monument in the middle. The map shows that the
small circle is on one section of the offset area, but it is actually on the other end of the area.
Hints: Easy Street X wins:
When you are in Street X, change your car's transmission to manual and use a low gear through most of
the race. It will help you cut your speed for better turns.
In order to win Street X, you must take the turns wide at first then sharpen up your turns. This will
help you add to your lead, and most likely you will win.
Hints: Going off jumps in URL races:
Start driving slow to get in fourth place. Then, drive up in front of the third, second and first place
cars to get extra points for nitro. You can use it when you are getting close to the four lights
hanging on the bar. You will go off the jump and see a short intermission sequence of your car going
off the jump.
Hints: Easy drift points:
Some of the downhill drift races have houses with looping drive ways that you can drive in. Drifting
in these driveways gets a lot more points than on the street because you are so far off the road and
are not hitting a wall.
Go into Quick Race mode and select the Subaru Impreza with all Extreme or Level 3 performance parts.
You may style the visual as desired, Then, choose Drift Track 6 and 10 laps with easy opponents. Drive
through the middle of the track. When you are just before a corner, hit the handbrake. Release
it after you have slightly slid. Your car will soon almost spin and will drift through easily.
Continue through the rest of the track by swerving on the straights and using the handbrake properly
on the corners. You can get about 50,000 to 500,000 drift points at the end of the race.
Hints: Get bank for races:
There are five stages, and as you complete each of them you can go back and repeat the races again. You
may even find that there are some races you missed. These are the ones that you want to race. When
you go to these, you are not supposed to get anything for them but you can change that. To access
these races, go to your garage, then your world map, and select a race. When the race begins,
pause game play and restart the race. Notice that there is an option to return to world map, however
after you restart it will not be there. You can now race and get bank for it.
Hints: Lift tire off ground:
To get a left rear tire off the ground, go to 'Customize Car' and put hydraulics on the Pontiac GTO.
Go to free ride mode and put the rear of the car off the ground with the hydraulics. Then, push the
gas and hit the brakes. The left rear of the car will comes off the ground. Note: You must have
the level 2 brakes.
Get any car with level 2 or 3 hydraulics. Lift any side and the front. Start doing donuts in the opposite
direction. For example, if the left side tires are lifted, then do an donut to the right, and
vice versa. You should see the left or right rear tire lift off the ground. It will be like that
for the entire time that you are doing the donut.
Hints: Catwalk:
To catwalk a car, you must have stage three hydraulics and have stage 3 performance parts. Try using
a Mazda RX-8 or a Ford Mustang. To start your catwalk, bounce the front of your car then release the
emergency brake but continue to hold Forward. Then hit the gas at the top of the bounce. You
car should catwalk. Note: This will now work with AWD and FWD cars.
Hints: Jumping:
Install hydraulics level 2. Kiss the wall, then use your hydraulics [move the Analog-stick Up and Down
quickly]. Sooner or later, the car will jump, even making flips and 360s.
