Darling, won't you ease my worried mind? Group: Advanced Members Posts: 3,173 Member No.: 1,828 Joined: May 12th 2004 Location: The Glorious Democratic People's Republic of CA | okay, so i'm planning on buying an ek9 (yes, i know i've been buying a lot of cards), and i was wondering if you can give me some pointers on it. (shift points, over/understeer, good/bad qualities... etc) also, since i'm going to be driving an ek9, i figured i should get better at happo, but the problem is i've only played on it three times and i can't get my fd to stop wall raping no matter how hard and long i brake. |

IDW Goldmember Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,477 Member No.: 2,836 Joined: Aug 27th 2004 Location: Penang, Malaysia | well.... you can get the shift points somewhere in this forum if im not mistaken. and the car doesnot understeer like hell thats what i can tell you. while shifing for the hairpins, my friend said u need to tap the brakes a lil to get the car to actually drift a lil tho. im not sure what he meant so im guessing you would coz u drive an ek9 and i dont .lol. and the car ... well keep out of iro by any means possible coz it doesnt perform as it should on that particular track. and finally , my friend here says that you can still own most ppl on tsuchi as long as you have mastered the car. ( i dunno what he meant tho. but hey... its worth telling you . aint it?) and if you're wondering whats his time, its 2'20'5++. he dont remember it as well tho. but its around there. sorry if i havent been much of a help . |

lol... i did read the first post BEFORE you mentioned it .... what he meant by tapping the brakes is when you shift down, you turn . when you 've actually started to turn the wheel, tap the brakes like.... (brake..let go..brake..letgo and such)thats what he told me . i do this a lot too especiallywith the altezza.. i dunno why maybe coz im addicted to it like wataru is addicted to that turbo of his!!!! hehehe | ||
