Tip to save you money when dressing up your car...: If you do, do your dress-ups by "Your Level +1" for more points. You can do chapters up till Chapter 99; upon completing Chapter 100, you're left with less slack since "Your Level" is determined by your presently-available HP. It's equivalent to how much you'd get off a revenge; speaking of revenges, if multiple machines are linked when you get a revenge, that revenge is duplicated x (number of machines). For the record, however, there was one game where "Level by HP" was "Class by HP". I think it was DX. Same thing still applied, though.----- Switched my Evo9's rims from the Evo Forged (for S&G) back to the TE37. Kinda horrible experience. (Just some 101 for anyone's Q&A.) - TE37's accel is a bit lower, but the grip is far superior. The lower acceleration isn't an issue since the Evo9 has an already high kick to start with.
- Evo Forged, on the other hand has better accel and less grip, making it slidier.

TE37's accel is a bit lower, but the grip is far superior. The lower acceleration isn't an issue since the Evo9 has an already high kick to start with. More for my grippy reactive driving style. Evo Forged, on the other hand has better accel and less grip, making it slidier. Which IMHO might be a problem if you need to jam the brakes and stop in the shortest distance possible. |
I believe Te37 rims applies to every car in that attribute, i'll try the evo forged then re37, im not sure what rims i have on the evo9 i have.

I wouldn't argue otherwise. On the E9, I just love the hell out of it; with Aero A, ducted carbon, and GT2, that sucker's pretty damn strong.
My friend just tried it last night, said between his and my first E9 (the above setup), his handling was stiff and mine smooth; TBH, IDK what he meant exactly. I think his setup's Aero A, GT2, regular carbon, and TCIIs.
My other one differs from the first only in aero mirrors (instead of stock) and 77NTLs, which are just awesome rims -- decent grip/slide balance, very responsive, and acceleration is pretty good.

But regardless of any set up, EVO8 has more grip and weight to them amirght, more over so than evo9 set ups in comparison but that's just debateable.
Its like evo9 is an easier but more faster edition of evo8 but less attribute losses
Whilst the evo8 is still a powerhouse, a balanced powerhouse.
I have an evo9 (not gonna talk about that) and i like to know most set ups for it. If u have the time. because i'm going to pretty much use that car more often now.
Oh nvm, u just told me the set ups already, the optimum ones, i should;'ve read what u typed. lol

QUOTE (KENZZ @ 7 minutes, 0 seconds ago) | Because like us, we are rare drivers, i know, i know. But its just that way it is. But anyhow, i like to know what E6 is like... |
Like a tank and the only two bodykits that I like are the stock one and the TME one...But unfortunately,I want my rally lights and have gotten used to the feeling of the stock body,hence used the stock body all the way.I just cant get used to the feeling of the TME kit.
In short order,I may be slow in accel or bulky but I have enough to overtake you.

QUOTE (Saint_BLACK @ Jan 3 2012, 05:49 PM) | i find my GTO's setup fine and it is:
Aero C standard aero C wing FRP hood (hood w/ duct) te37 stock mirror. |
My GTO is:
Silver Aero C Standard Aero C wing Carbon Bonnet with ducts VERSUS GABBANA Aero Mirror
I find my Accleration very slow, and drifty, some people suggest that i use the stock Bonnet, but what's the difference of the different bonnet for the GTO?

QUOTE (Saint_BLACK @ Yesterday, 5:24 PM) | im not really sure bout the hood. my GTO is a bit drifty as well, but i find it quite fast in acceleration. the main concern with my GTO is its size and heaviness. i cant seem to master it arounnd sudden fast corners. |
Well just changed tyres to the Rays GT-C and it had better grip, but acceleration still seems to be a little slow. And it also still faces the same problem of losing speed easily at tight corners.
What i might suggest for the Red arrow corners is, place it at gear 5 release throttle, until about the mid point than throttle again. An alternative is switch to gear 4 release throttle for a moment to engage in a sharper turn than throttle all the way, once exiting the turn you can go to gear 5.
As for dodging other cars( yellow AI) well it looses quite a significant amount of speed there, and this is where the acceleration seems slow due to my side here alot of evo, GT, Masda users and catch up pretty fast. Of course they can't match the top speed

How severe a turn are talking about in regards to the red arrows?

Osaka ones if i'm not wrong about the track, there are a few that need to brake, some that just requires release of throttle

QUOTE (Kyoko) | How about the yellow and red S-turn just after the long straightway on Osaka?I find that sometimes on that turn,I have to release a bit of gas on my E6 and my exit speed is around 243-247km/h.If I am confident enough,I just have to use my steering to control the E6 out of that turn without releasing the gas.Exit speed is usually around 251km/h. |
(Map of Hanshin Expressway Loop Line (H.E.L.L.), better known to all as simply Osaka.) Optimal HP setting for 720-760. My suggestions (for 6-gear cars)...:
 Shown as a red, but doesn't seem that way. Enter in 5th, only hitting 4th if you need to; any lower means you've got a problem.
  4th is adequate for most turns, but for the above I'd suggest 3rd only in absolute emergencies. Unless your HP is lower...
About all I can safely say: lower gears yield better control at the cost of your current speed; same thing goes for HP, but trading your top speed for acceleration.
------
I know gear speed-range on a 6-gear: -4th: 220-250 -5th: 251-290 -6th: 291-340+
Better than a WAG/stab, I think I need a refresher on a 5-gear's speed ranges for #3-5, for future reference... This post has been edited by raven111 on Jan 18 2012, 10:31 AM
