CAT, i managed to cut a second off my akagi down timing, in the low 2.21s. aiming for 2.20s now. Usui left is in the low 2.48s, aiming to break into the high...

WRX cat SG

once u are ready.can we have a match.I like to try your evo4 also.can? Laughing I aslo wants to know evo4 or GC8V which is faster in pick-up and speed.really need to know... Confused

ShiN SG

well. WRX. if you're in New York, which is where i am. i'll definitely let you try out my EVO IV. Very Happy but if you're in Singapore.... erm... i guess chances are we wouldn't be able to battle.

ShiN SG

yeah guys. FYI. just wanna let you guys know how my new EVO’s progressing.. i’ve completed my Tune A and switched to Tune B. changed the muffler and the rims. currently waiting for rear spoilerand 680000+points gained.i’ve tried my ride on time attack yesterday and i’m glad to say, i’m pretty satisfied with the progress… i feel it has much faster acceleration than my previous EVO IV which has 3000000+ points. and i even broke the record for some of my previous EVO. i’ve broke myogi and usui’s record. i think i’ll be able to break akagi, akina and irohazaka soon… but still, i need more practice… having a fast car without skills is consider having the car keys to a ferrari but know how to start it.. lol.. i’ll let you guys know on the timings soon.

Good luck. Pratice makes perfect.

Actually being able to do such a high speed turn doesn't really depend on the points. For a 4WD, the grand hairpin can be taken at 2 speeds. You can go at 199 for the hairpin which is downhill and 201 for the hairpin which is uphill, or at least this was the fastest I ever got.

ShiN SG

wow… WRX.. how did you manage to do that? the fastest i did for uphill was like 197-198….

shin wheres ya at again? NY?

Impreza WRX SG

Yeah this is quite tough to get. Not always successful myself either. First you need to enter the hairpin from the outer lane. You need to tap the brake very gently and the small point in time that you tap the brake is also the time you have to steer the wheel. Do not fully lock it, just a little bit before full lock. And this is the tricky part, you need to counter steer slowly when you are about halfway in the hairpin. Also after steering, lightly step on the accelerator and maintain it while in the turn. Once you're nearly out, floor it.

This works for a 4WD though. I saw one guy using an RX and what he did was a double tap on the brake and then steer. He got 200-202.

Impreza WRX SG

Oh yeah you can only get above 200 for the uphill hairpin. Too much momentum on the downhill hairpin causes you to crash into the mountain if you go higher than 199.

ShiN SG

wass up guys.. yeah [email protected], i’m in NY. WRX, thanks for the tip. i’ll definitely try that out, guess that takes lotsa practice to get a turn with that speed…it’s really complicated too. so much to do, so little time…anyway, i was challenging this dude yesterday, he was using a levin 85 sr…. and he’s mad fast yo….. i don’t know how he do it but he kicked my arse on akina man.. and irrohazaka too. oh yeah… anyone could advice me on EVO’s shift points? right now, how i do it is 6000 ~~—>7000 -~~->7200 ->7200. i don’t think i’m doing it right cause the DC2 was faster than me on pick up…is that suppose to happen?

[email protected] SG

yo wayyyyy cool… so hows NY? fun? oh so how come u’re there man? and oh, the DC2 is faster because in the game, they’ve purposely made the car “god”. not very fair, and easy to win in without fairly good skills.

ShiN SG

yeah i noticed that DC2's a freaking cheap car for Version 2. thank god it's gonna be more normal in Version 3. why am i in NY? i live in NY Laughing well.. NY's alrite. pretty boring if you ask me... Crying or Very sad might be the fact that i've tried most of the fun places Confused yeah [email protected] right now i've switched my EVO IV from tune A to B, but i want the stickers back... so should i tune it back to tune A ? but that would make me wait for the parts again right? do you think it's wise to tune it back to A just for the sake of the stickers and lose a front bumper?

Goondu86 SG

No wonder. And if i'm not wrong, it's speed is not affected by 'kissing' the walls right?

ShiN SG

yeap.. it’s got way faster collision recovery than other cars…

ShiN SG

merry christmas guys. you i need advice man…. which front bumper do you think is better? the tune A’s stock front bumper or the Tune B’s bumper ?

Icicle SG

Yes. Using shingo's method : Block him. Accelarate to his front and he'll cock up if he is not experienced. Though you might have a black eye after that match... I don't really know. BUT BUT BUT... I've seen a really good DC2, not because he is fast, but he really can block. Most of the turns the opponent is faster, but because he sealed the inner part of the hairpin, the opponent cannot get the best of the track... and I defeated a RX-7 this way.... Cheers.

Please, however, use this method only when necessary. You have been warned.
