110/111: 7th and Sparling
Spring Track Reverse; Rank 1 Sprint
111/111: Samantha Unique
Reward: Choice of Widebody Kits; Vapor, Mantis
112/111: Stuff Magazine
Hint:
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.
Hint:
Eddie's Nissan Skyline: To unlock Eddie's car in the end, keep winning style points.
Note: It is faster to win them in drift. When your style meter maxes out, a
message stating that you have won Eddie's Nissan Skyline will appear.
Hint:
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).
Hint:
Defeating Melissa: When you try to defeat Melissa to be the ultimate street racer,
use the RX7 (all level 3 performance mods). She is more difficult than Eddy.
Try to use shortcuts as much as possible. Avoid the tram past the second
corner of the track. If you are next to her, ram her into the wall. She
takes much longer to recover from a crash than you. Note: Save your nitrous
until the end.
Hint:
Samantha's car: Keep getting style points until you get all the vinyls, then fill
up the next meter.
Hint:
Kurt's Killa Ride: Use a Stock Mazda RX-7 and keep trying until you win.
Use the following trick to win
Race 95 (Kurt's Killa Ride) and Race 103. During these two races, the CPU
will have the same top speed as you, but can get to it a lot faster. To
overcome this problem, do the following. Trade in your car for the Honda
Integra Type R. Use the following performance upgrades. You must tune your
car so that you have the highest possible acceleration, but the lowest
possible top speed. By doing this, because the CPU will have the same top
speed, he will not be going very fast, and you can take the corners faster
because of your acceleration. You will not need to worry about handling, but
the higher it is the better. The easiest way to do this is to get the Honda
Integra Type R and tune it with the following parts:
Engine/Exhaust: Extreme
Performance
Drive-Train: Street Performance
Tires: Extreme Performance
ECU: Stock (do not tune this part)
Turbo: Pro Performance
Brakes: Extreme Performance
Weight Reduction: Extreme Performance
Suspension: Extreme Performance
Nitrous Oxide: Extreme Performance
Visual Upgrades-As desired, but your car must have a reputation rating
over 4 stars.
With all this done, both races
will be a lot easier to complete. After you have won the races you can trade
back to your original car and put all the desired upgrades back on.
Hint:
Junkman's Honda Civic: Get 2,250,000 style points in quick race mode.
Hint:
Melissa's Nissan 350Z: Get 2,500,000 style points in quick race mode.
Hint:
Samantha's Honda Civic: Get 2,165,000 style points in quick race mode.
Hint:
Quick start: For somewhat of a faster start, hold the emergency brake and
press the accelerator. Note: You will be behind the other racers, but you
will catch up. Also, this may take some time to get used to.
Hint:
Always land on wheels: The Dodge Neon tuned to the extreme will almost all of the time
land on its tires. This makes it useful 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.
Hint:
Barrel roll: Get any car and tune it to extreme but do not install the
suspension. Then, go to the Drag track 14th And Vine. Go as fast as you can,
and just before you hit the jump at the end turn to the left so that only
one side of your tires touches the ramp. Note This will require a few
attempts.
Hint:
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.
When drifting, drive fast and
slide the corner. When you are coming out, tap the handbrake. Turn the car
twowards where you are sliding, then turn it in the opposite direction and
tap the handbrake. Repeat this until it fades.
When in drift mode, wait until
you are in a combo then drive into the wall at a fast speed. At the time of
the collision repeatedly press Start to get 999,999 drift points
added to your score.
When at the main menu, go to
"Quick Race" and select "Drift". When the cars appear,
choose the Golf GTI. If that car is not suped up, do that first. Then,
choose it and take it to drift track one. Once there you can get maximum
points.
Hint:
Easy vinyls: Go to "Quick Race" and get over 300,000 on a drift
track to unlock a lot of vinyls..
Go to "Quick Race"
then go to drift. Set ten laps on your favorite track. Choose your car, then
get the most points and keep restarting. You can also unlock cars by doing
this.
Hint:
All parts: To unlock all of the parts, complete Underground mode.
Hint:
Sick Spoiler: To get this spoiler, you can have any car with the Duotek unique
spoiler with any visual upgrades. Trade your car for the VW Golf then trade
back to the car you had before. You should have a spoiler that is not part
of your options, even after you have unlocked the level 3 spoilers.
Hint:
Vinyl color: To change color of vinyl, select your vinyl and press A.
Then, press B to leave the menu. Next, press X and the color
menu will appear. Then, choose a color.
Hint:
Easy wins: If you are having trouble winning circuit, sprint, or lap
knockout races, take off all of your engine performance mods. Note: This
works for every car, is most useful for the Nissan Skyline. You do not need
to take off the handling mods.
If you are stuck on underground
mode races 80 to 90, trade in your car for the Mazda Mx5. Use all L3
performance upgrades except for the last three. This version of the Mazda
has excellent acceleration, a good top speed, and brilliant handling. You
can customize it in any way desired.
For easy wins in circuit and
sprint modes, slow down until another car is close behind. Then, drive into
any oncoming traffic, dodging the oncoming cars. The car behind you is
trying to get caught in your slipstream to slingshot around you. When you
see him get very close, drive directly towards another car and dodge it at
the last possible moment. The car following you should slam head-on into the
ambient car. Note: This trick is very difficult to do and should only be
performed by an expert; if you hit the car, it will usually cost you the
race. Also try get several enemy cars behind you for big effects.
Hint:
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.
Get a car and install nitros
(level 3 recommended). In a drag race, go behind a car in the same lane. Go
up to it. When you are about 2, hit the car's bumper. Then, hit the nitros
and keep holding them. If done correctly, you will eventually flip the car
in front of you out of your way.
Before you start a race, do not
press down on the accelerator all the way. Hold it so that a green (better)
or blue circle appears at the top part of the screen, and the stick on the
beginning of the red part. When you start, it should say "Perfect"
(green) or "Good" (blue). Note: When you start the race, hold down
the accelerator all the way.
Trick out your car and made
sure it has nitrous. Depending on the car, the timing will be different. For
example, the Nissan Skyline is very quick when starting. Hold the gas out
full then shift into second. As soon as you get into it, let all your
nitrous out. For this to work you will need good shifts. If someone gets
ahead of you, drive behind them. You can gain speed and pass them. Sometimes
when you pass them, you will get a extra nitrous supply.
Hint:
Easier cornering: To turn corners easier, turn off the stability control at the
options menu.
Hint:
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 press 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, press 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.
Get the 1991 Mitsubishi Eclipse
in underground mode. Do any race except for drag and drift. You will get 100
points for a head start.
Enable the "All circuit
tracks" code. Then, go to Market Street and keep going off the ramp.
Note: This will take a long time.
Hint:
Easy money: In Underground mode, take a VW Golf and upgrade it
performance-wise as much as possible. Trade it in for a Nissan Skyline (or
the best car unlocked so far), then downgrade the new car to stock. Trade it
in for a Golf and you should make a profit (about $6,000 each time). You can
use the money to buy more upgrade for regular mode if you want to play with
the parts or are stuck in Underground mode.
To earn a profit of about
$5,500 or more (depending on how far you are in Underground mode), follow
these steps. Go to Underground mode and enter the "Customize Ride"
menu. Then, select the "Trade" option and trade your car for a
Mazda RX-7. If you already have it as your car, skip this step. Downgrade
all of your performance upgrades to stock. Then, go back to the
"Trade" option and trade your car for a Volkswagen Golf GTI. Then,
put all of your performance upgrades back onto the Golf GTI and trade your
car for the Mazda RX-7. If done correctly, you should gain a profit of at
least $5,500. Repeat those steps as many times as desired. In a short time
you should have at least $30,000.
Start with the Nissan Skyline.
Then, strip you car down to stock (performance) and trade it for the VW Golf
GTI. From there, put all of the performance upgrades back onto your car.
Trade your car for the Mazda RX7. You should make about $6,000 to $10,000,
depending on what level performance upgrades you have. With that money, you
can make a great looking car.
Note: You must have at least
$4,000 to do this trick. In Underground mode, buy the Skyline. Keep the
engine stock, the drivetrain stock, the fuel system, stock the turbo, then
trade it for the WV Golf. Put everything that you took off on it, then trade
it back for the Skyline. You will have made a $15,000 profit and end up with
the Skyline.
Hint:
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.
Hint:
Chrome rims: Choose a rim style of your choice. Then, when you paint them,
choose the color in the first row, third from the left. It should look like
a chrome color.
Hint:
Chrome muffler tips: You can give the muffler tips a chrome appearance as well as the
rims. Choose the color in the first row, third from the left. It should be a
chrome appearance.
Hint:
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 press Nitrous.
Hint:
Getting nitrous: To get a lot of nitrous back, hold B or the Analog-stick
to reverse. Keep it there until the number 4000 appears.
Hint:
Change color of vinyl: Choose any vinyl except for uniquem then select the layer you
changed on the layers menu. Press B and the color change menu will
appear.
Hint:
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.
Hint
High level races: If you are having trouble getting past any race with a car
upgraded with every engine upgrade, downgrade everything except for weight
reduction and suspension to level one.
Hint:
Shortcuts: Look for alternate routes on your in-game map while driving.
These can get you ahead of an opponent easily or shave off seconds on your
timer. They will look like another road on the map, but sometimes are
narrower. Most of the time these shortcuts will be hard to see or take, and
can be extremely risky.
At the beginning of the races
that take place in front of the prison Samantha told you to race to for a
reward, when the race starts, crash in the gate of the prison. It is an
underground shortcut. Note: This only works after the race in which Samantha
tells you to race to the prison in time for a reward.
Hint:
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 pressing 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).
When you start, use a Neon. It
is not as good as the Miata, but it does not slide out of control as easily.
Later, change to a Subaru Impreza. It revs hard at the start of a drag race
and it has good control.
Hint:
See where you are landing in slow motion: Pause game play while you are in the air and the game is in slow
motion. Resume the game and you can see where you are landing.
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.
Glitch:
Sunroof remains inside car: Select a car that has a sunroof. Add a roof scoop to it, so that
the sun roof is gone. If you look into the car through the driver/passenger
window, and look at the roof of the interior of the car, the sunroof will
still be visible from the inside.
Please
select the first letter of the game's title below. If the word
"The" appears at the start of a title, ignore it and search for
the second word in the title:
