Depends which direction. I *NEVER* go into 3rd gear for a 6 gear car.

For IB, I only go into 4th 3 times. Which is the 3 red left turns.

For OB, I only go into 4th for the snake part in the beginning of CP2, and the last red turn.

same here
for a 6 gear car, i play it exactly like a 5 gear car but in 6 gear car im always 1 gear higher than i would be in the 5 gear car
so where i shift and everything is all the same.. except the start because in 6 gear u got 1 extra gear to shift up to
but just say 2nd red turn in a 6 gear car you would goto 4th gear, but in 5 gear you would goto 3rd
so its like...always 1 gear lower in 5 gear car...if it makes sense?

tried a official machine s15 for hak ib, suprisingly really good, very light and felt slidey which is good. 2'30'4xx with a few crashes. and 1 big crash on one of the deadly s turns.

aiming for 28 on an mr2 tmr! then will be one of the fastest where i am.

btw. the S before the first cp1, the yellow s. do you let go of the gas? do you touch brake a little? or isit half throttle?

im getting fast times by braking a little there. like a little tap just to stay between the walls.

your not supposed to off gas or anything
if your lines right you can full throttle both
lol but i do tap the gas off on the 2nd one.. im not confident enough to full throttle them both yet

I finally broke into the 2'29 range on hakone IB...
I've been training for it but haven't really done TA's for the last 2 months...

gratzzz =D now get 28 already =D

Nooooooooooooooooooo..........................XD
Oh well...At least now I know I'm fast enough to defeat most players in my area...

we filmed a run last night
2'30'6 hakone ib in toyota hiace .. driver is 155 (jimmy)

i wasnt sure where to post it because there doesnt seem to be a video section on these forums

woah 30'6. thats fast. thats real fast for a hiace.

impressive.

155 is becoming famous...lol

lol he is?

already famous in aus... lol

yeah my team mate is off to go see him. AzzA, not famous; but will be soon i reckon... that kid loves this game. apparently he's the best in aus(155).

can anybody teach me how to do wall tapping at hakone.
i do read the wall tapping guide in older threads but still dont understand.
any pictures?

yea 155 told me someone from perth was coming over to here the other night
and the best in aus...there really isnt anyone there all strong in different points, for example 155 himself isnt really much of a time attacker.. doesnt do TA often

if r34 is nightmare in hakone, then z33 wat?

Uploaded this video that I got off stage6.com before it went under. Looks nice >.> and looks better then on youtube

The Hakone part comes after Osaka

Not the best times but sure enough to give you some ideas and whatnot.

Z33 is easy to use in Hakone.....

in my opinion i dont think 155 is all that great....

Z33 is nice to drive in Hakone. Unlike the long R34, its' nose always touches the wall whenever i corner =_=". But I think, pros still be able to get 2'29 or faster using R34. Only a matter of "used to it" or "not used to it".

Anyway, 2'28"236 CPs, done by .EVE. - Mitsubishi LANCER EVOLUTION VIII MR GSR [CT9A]
1. 0'34'884
2. 0'38"142
3. 0'38"310
4. 0'38"899
Maximum Speed : 247km/h

good for you mr "wmmt3 king" or whatever you call yourself

@marbleberry i think eve needs to work on cp2... then he will hit 27

155's Hakone TA video on youtube is pretty awesome... hes the one that inspired me to use the FD again and again =)

Lets not start flame wars here...
But yea...I agree with you...run a 2'29 with a hiace then start talking...

The problem comes when people catch on that you can destroy them on Hakone, just like my experience in MV. They will start outpicking courses to avoid Hakone in battle

yea... that scenario is most likely will be happen, afterall hakone is the easiest place to destroy ppl (esp. clueless annoying n00bs, even with boost on)

especially those people who only ever play osaka
the expression on there faces when you take them to hakone is funny xD
