last SG · 2004-03-09T23:32:42+00:00

i think it’s something like sgjs or jssg i think… damn sian ar. i use tofu car. she go challenge that map…. die like hell….

jb_koala SG

What is a good speed to do this turn in VERSION 3, not ver. 2. i everytime very lousy at this turn.

HIRA SG

Depends on what car you are using…my R34 can only turn at 120-125…RX8 and FD for example can turn at 125-130…that is what you should be aiming for..

jb_koala SG

that means i'm really lousy.... my speed is FAR FROM 125-130.... i use tofu car some more... can go and commit suicide liao. in the good old ver.2 days, i remember seeing an integra do 145 if i'm not mistaken.
when should i start braking? the moment i finish turning the slight right turn?

HIRA SG

ermm that would be a little too early..you know there is a little gutter on the right? go inside that and then release the accel early and brake early, while steering towards the apex..when you feel safe after clearing it, press back the accel..another factor is after coming out of the slight right, your car should be straight, not facing the right, or else your car will wheel-lock on that left turn..

jb_koala SG

woah, words of wisdom from the akagi specialist. i didnt noe there was a gutter ler. next time i keep my eyes open. coz my eyes is naturally half open all the time(true). i'll take ur advice, and try out. that is after my wrist injury heals, coz play too much. he he Mr. Green

HIRA SG

Hehe my timing for R34 average only la...2'28...top time by those hongkongers for the R34 is 2'26...so i'm lagging two or three seconds behind those crazy pros... Razz

jb_koala SG

my time is ard 2'32 i think. coz i just cant drive fast during the 1st half of the course. all those tricky corners..... Sad 1st turn already die everytime. but i think if i'm not mistaken the time i saw at clementi was 2'21. by a tofu car. Shocked

HIRA SG

hehe ya trueno one of the top cars on akagi now ma...at least should get 2.25 for trueno Razz hehe those tricky first few corners just go out-in-out can liao...always prepare for the next corner after you come out of one in consecutives...

jb_koala SG

hmm... 2'25... i'll set that as my goal then. but it's gonna be a long long way~~ Confused

HIRA SG

can one la...one or two months should be able to liao... Very Happy

Smi|y_DC2 SG

my rx-8 can turn at 126 at dry... but 120 at wet... is it too slow?
i think ER34 is oso quite good in akagi... i hav a fren who uses ER34 n beat quite alot of pp in akagi wif a very good timin,,, cant remember the time liao.... maybe next time i play wif him i see the timin Very Happy

jb_koala SG

i wonder at what speed does the toughest crazy bunta does this corner.... Mr. Green

HIRA SG

Quite gd liao la.... Razz hahaha bunta's highest star probably does it at 135... Laughing

jb_koala SG

then what is ur speed for the last 4 hairpins? i find it very different from ver2. ver2, u can do 150-152, but ver3.... slow down a lot ler... Sad

HIRA SG

hmm i didnt really take note...i will go and check... Smile but for those 4 consecutive hairpins, you might not need to step brake at all for the trueno...because for my R34, i only step my brake for the first turn of that last 4 hairpins... the rest release accel early and tap it during the turn...oh ya got 2'27 today... Wink

jb_koala SG

dont noe ler…. i can only manage 130+ with my tofu car with feint drifting thru between hairpins. i think i reach the 1st hairpin with more than 140. so, dont noe why cannot turn.

HIRA SG

hmm feinting...my R34 cannot feint one....lol..will understeer....but 86 should be to i guess...why not try without feinting first? usually people get fast with conventional methods first, then after that when they cant break any further, they use feint... Razz

jb_koala SG

dont noe ler, its not i dont want to do it normally. coz i cant. after i finish the 1st turn, b4 i noe it, the 2nd comes and my car is facing the opposite direction, so dont noe what to do then might as well just feint lor or else i eat wall gau gau.. he he....
or mayb is my line and i turn too late.... dont noe lar. i'm just lousy. wrist injured now, so cannot play for a while liao.

Impreza WRX SG

I got question, so now in Akagi UH and DH, the best car is no longer the RX7? Or is it that the other cars like Skyline and 86 are now almost on par with RX7 for Akagi?

I also realise that RX8 performance is better than RX7 on wet conditions and RX7 is better on dry, correct?

HIRA SG

hmmm there seems to be no defined best car on akagi...you wont believe it, but the S14Q's is now top of the akagi ranking, but only by milliseconds...other good cars on akagi are the trueno, RX7 (all three of them), and the RX8.. RX7 and RX8 are pretty equal on Akagi..Spirit R is better than both of them on wet, but weaker on dry...and errr skyline still sucks on akagi..unless you play wet...R32 is king of wet now..
