no offense .. but i dont think parts will matter that much when running 15 odd seconds from WR ...

Talked to Eskimoq (FISH) and he sent me a raw vid of his Hakone Inbound run, which I studied for while since I had no money to play XD! My CP1 and S turns improved, but the rest was the same... I need to work on that turn at th beginning of CP2 which I keep coming out of slow.

Strangely enough I'm starting to like my S15 more than my FC which just dies speed wise if you go into or exit a turn wrong v_v. Its a shame too since I feel it grips more than the drifty S15.

Try using 740hp first....its better for driftier cars.

My E8 has a stock body/stock wing setup, so I use 740hp for hakone with it.

how do you do that corner?
are you going out onto the grass for a wider line then braking and turning?
here are my 29 cp's...ur only abit off of all but cp2...so if u fix up ur cp2 u will obliterate your time
but these are from only 3 goes...i have only played with this car 3 times so i havnt played enough to run a decent time or build up a theory for this car, but atm it is 29'6

which turn....i need exact km in order to give advice...

i think he means first turn cp2
the one that you go out onto the grass for wider line...i can do it fine but he was asking for advice.. i think lol

you turn towards the outside where the grass is and brake.

you should be done braking and should be accelerating when you approach the apex for the fastest speed

Xeo: I am using 740HP since the S15 feels more like a wall magnet with 760 XD!

BDDEE@: Before, I was trying to get onto the grass for a better angle, but the way I was doing it felt slow so today I tried to just attack the apex. With the FC it, like I said before, it died losing so much speed the TA was over. But with the S15 it felt fast, I dunno, maybe it was just dumb luck >_>...

EDIT

Xeo: No wonder, I was trying to slow down while approaching the grass. I was doing it wrong the whole time x_x...

maybe you were turning onto the grass too late?

As soon as youère done turning right to get onto the grass, you brake and you turn left at the same time. When you approach the apex, you release the brake and you step on the gas and accelerate out of the turn.

I dunno how to explain it well, youère gonna have to watch me do it in person

i always hate braking on Hakone
except when its a panic or after a long time haven't play wmmt

for me well, when i get to cp 2 my line starts to suck... haha.. help me please!

ROFL AT JEGAN 400/d giving advice ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL

XEO U R TOO FUNNY!!!!!

I thought jegan2000 has a 820HP card but he
was bored out and make a new card which is now 400 hp

No no, I understand perfectly. Its basically a feint maneuver, but with different braking.

I love Hakone especially with the driving mechanics of MT3. It really makes the game "fun" as a driving simulator, or as close as it could be with a 760+ HP machine lol.

To answer your question about how people drive clean and smooth the whole way up, simply drive like it was real life. Don't go balls out into a corner because you will simply understeer and eat it. Letting off the throttle before cornering and then modulating the throttle (aka throttle control) is also something you have to just learn on your own. But to get you started in the right direction regarding throttle control just remember that every adjustment you make on the throttle during a corner will affect how you carry your car through that particular corner.

Start off slow trying not to hit ANY walls and getting as close to the wall as possible without touching it then you can improve on your speed around those corners and walls while keeping off the walls.

Hakone is the only map I prefer to play in VS mode as the rest of the courses feel like its a matter of who hits who etc, and boost plays a bigger role on those maps, on Hakone boost can't save your ass if you can't navigate the course.

yep
feint brake while turning regas at apex... kinda like playing initial d 3 lol

I think most of them here has already tried that 6 months ago, and now they need a more advance techniques to break into the 2'29/2'28 part...

what's up with you,dude??don't tell me that you're one of those jerks who think that higher HP will make them win.i smell discrimination here.

did a hak ib ta today ===> 2'29'225
im getting faster. but im still really slow in the third cp.

what should the cp times be for a good time?
the only ive taken note of is the first cp. and my best is like 34'9XX

and you need to brake in hakone at least twice. or three times? i break a fair few times. sometimes just a little tap in those deadly S turns. they are ridiculous.

My Hakone 2'28'2XX CP's

MR2 @ 760hp, 2'28'246:
CP1: 34'978
CP2: 37'952
CP3: 38'287
CP4: 37'028

RX8 @ 760hp, 2'28'281:
CP1: 35'097
CP2: 37'871
CP3: 38'554
CP4: 36'756

E8 @ 740hp, 2'28'270:
CP1: 34'923
CP2: 38'014
CP3: 38'372
CP4: 36'960

EDIT: I brake for the S turns, by giving the brake short, light taps.
I already know i can hit 27's, I'm just not consistent LOL

don't worry about him, he's an idiot.. he just likes to jump on bandwagons to feel cool..ignore

5d911 ur kool ......

Hey guys, which set up would be best used for hakone time attacks and battles?

Would they be different?

And which set ups can beat which, like 760 could beat 740 or maybe the other way around?

Personaly, 740 seems faster than 760 but im not sure which to practise more on?
