Slowpoke... Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,605 Member No.: 18,773 Joined: Jul 5th 2006 Location: Philippines | OMG today was funny. I had some business to take care of in Manila, so I went to the city. Sometime in the afternoon, I had some time to kill, so I dropped by the arcade at the mall. They had IDAS, and there were a few kids (maybe 12 or 13 or so) hanging around the machines. One of them was sitting in one of the cabs. I checked the time attack records on the other cab, and noticed that #1 for Sho OB was 3'13. So I bought a few tokens and prepared to TA it. I left accept challengers on, and proceeded with the TA. I didn't get 5 seconds into the TA before I got challenged. He had an Altezza, and the first thing I noticed was that he had 7 consecutive wins. I checked his TA records while he was selecting a map. I was a bit puzzled. His times sucked. He was running 3'20+ on Akina, and 3'30 on Shomaru OB. He takes me to Shomaru OB, and tells me me to turn off boost. He wins start up. (I'm using my RX8, and he has automatic transmission) After taking several curves I finally realized that my wheel was broken. It was responding just fine, but it wasn't locked properly or something. It wouldn't turn more than around 180 degrees to the right, and it would turn almost 360 going to the left. So I'd have to deal with extra understeer when turning right. I guess that's why he had 7 consecutive wins. Damn fisher. So I just did my best to keep up. I just concentrated on taking the turns cleanly (but slowly). It was tricky work, I was either erasing, braking, or ungassing almost every right turn on the course. I managed to keep a decent speed though (110+ for most of the course). As I figured from his TA records, he was a complete noob, He kept hitting the walls, and he was pretty slow. It was easy keeping up with him, and he ended up blocking me all the way through the first few parts of the course.. I was stifling a laugh when we got through the M-Section though. He messed up and understeered into the wall, so I managed to squeeze past him. Normally it wouldn't be so "entertaining" except that I couldn't turn my wheel all the way to the right, and the M-Section is a right turn in Sho OB. After the match I TA'd Shomaru and got a 3'11. Then I left. I figured there was no point in playing with a broken wheel, especially with fishers present. As I was leaving, I took a quick glance behind me and saw them turning the wheel all the way to the right (well, as far as it would go anyway) and scratching their heads.

In sexy black'n gold :D Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,254 Member No.: 5,914 Joined: Mar 2nd 2005 Location: Sydney Australia | had some random battles, and one more lvl up! MR2 vs evo 4 iro dhd This race for all intensive puposes was to get some steam off after the computer shops i went to ran out of the laptop i wanted. blasted him off the line and won rather easily. b/l up to 16! MR2 vs evo 4 iro dhd if i didn't say anything, it woulda been tsuchi IBW for me, so i was lucky to have a decent opponent rather than a fisher. again, got start, but reversed 2 turns before the jumps and handed him 100m adv. after the jumps it was abt 5 but again, reversed myself. lost and lvl down >:( MR2 vs evo 4.... well take a wild guess where that went? most interesting, because i tried to reverse him and failed, and he tried to reverse me and failed, so i managed to win by blasting him on the jumps, and win. b/l up YAY! |

Slowpoke... Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,605 Member No.: 18,773 Joined: Jul 5th 2006 Location: Philippines | Today was a very happy day TA wise. I got to the arcade in the afternoon, and had to wait an hour or so before getting to play. Someone else was trying to retake the record I took the previous week. (3'08 on Sho IB from his 3'10). He managed a 3'09, but he was getting pretty close because the total difference time was red all through out CP1 to 3. Anyway, I sat down, did a few TAs on Tsuchi OB, and basically tried upping my exit speeds for the first few sections. After a few tries I managed to get my times from 2'48 to 2'46. . I took the rollers pretty well this time I think. Got through cleanly at 140+. Next I tackled Sho IB and OB. I focused on cleaning up my run and avoiding wall taps rather than trying to take the turns faster. I got both times down from 3'08 to 3'07. Next I TA'd Akagi DH D. I surprised myself on the first turn by getting a 128 clean exit, with plenty of room on the right. No techs except basic braking and downshifting. It kinda makes me wonder if TSTing that turn (like what was done in the 2'19 video) would really do much good. I got a 2'27 low (just missed the machine record by 0'00'004). On the second run I got a 131 exit on the first turn, but I tail tapped the wall X_X. I got through this run pretty fast, and managed to clinch a 2'26. I was a bit disappointed though. I understeered the last turn and scraped the wall badly. I crossed the line at 125km/h X_X. My CP3 difference time was -2 seconds from the 2'27 record, so if I had only cleared that last turn better I'm pretty sure I could've gotten a 2'25. X_X. I'll have to try for it next week. EDIT: I also TA'd Akina, and got a 3'10. Heh, it's the only RX-8 record on the machine's Akina DH D board. I think I can push it a lot farther though.

Snake is Sony's lone hero Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,480 Member No.: 4,625 Joined: Dec 18th 2004 Location: Update Profile | Here are a few times I got over the past few days: Sho IB Dry R32 - 2'58'5 Took me like 5 tries to achieve this time... CP1 was +.1, CP2 was +.1, CP3 was +.1 and CP4 was +.2, so a bit of room to improve, although it will be hard =_= Sho IB Wet R32 - 3'03'3 This was real easy, especially after driving all those crappy cars here. This was done in 2 tries. I can do 3'02'mid without TOO much more effort. Sho IB Dry GDB - 3'01'8 This was a pretty good run, pretty much my limit. I could push maybe .2 more, but I really need to figure out how to do a faster CP2. Akina UH Dry GDB - 3'10'9 2 tries, did this inbetween Sho IB runs. Pretty crappy >_< Iro DH Dry GDB - 3'02'6 Also did this between Sho runs, first try, and equally as crappy T_T |

IDW Member Group: Members Posts: 13 Member No.: 19,412 Joined: Aug 8th 2006 Location: Update Profile | I just conquered Akagi with my MR2, then went on to Akina. While I was racing against Nakazato, some guy comes up behind me and tries to teach me how to play. I was thinking to myself Is this guy serious? . I mean it's not like I was doing really badly. Then when I beat Nakazato, he tells me,"You may have won, but your downfall is that you keep both hands on the steering wheel too much." I just kinda ingnored him until I was having a hard time with Kyouichi, then he said that he would race me. He was probably thinking that he would get an easy win off of me, so I was all like ok. Then I thought it would be my chance to show this guy up. He told me to choose any course, and I choose Irohazaka DH. Then the guy scoffs a bit as if I were a noob and I couldn't handle the course. I beat the guy by 300 meters. Still feeling a bit smug he challenges me again, unfortunately I lost on Tsuchisaka, but I got him back and utterly killed him on Akagi DH. After that session, I leveled up This post has been edited by MR2 drift on Aug 26 2006, 07:35 PM |

IDW Prime Member Group: Advanced Members Posts: 586 Member No.: 19,641 Joined: Aug 19th 2006 Location: Update Profile | today was prob the best day of my ID career. lol. I have an 86t and i challenge a guy to my home course akina. I know that i was fishing him but he stayed way too long in that cab and his points were up for grabs. 86t vs rx 7 (fc). I won by 300m. After him another 86t challenged me on akina. He was one of the few that has an AE86 trueno. From the the line i got infront. (staying in my own lane) On the first turn i cleared it perfectly and i think he tap the wall alittle. From then on i was gaining more and more. Wen it came to the hairpins i went from 120km all the way to 100km. He caught up there but i still maintained the lead. I beat him by like 100m. Then an DC2 challenged me to akina snow dh. I beat him by a 200m. My winning streak ended there when a evo took me to akagi and i lost by 50m. But i got my revenge by goin akina snow uh. I was trailing for 3/4 of the course then i turned off my lights and passed him couple hundred meters from the finish line. I beat by like 150m. Best day ever |

IDW Prime Member Group: Advanced Members Posts: 525 Member No.: 13,141 Joined: Oct 1st 2005 Location: OC, CA | Nice stuff today. I did a lot of Bunta and actually got quite a few of them. I battled twice and lost and won one. DC2 vs ST205 - Akagi DH dry - loss (I had no idea why I was doing so badly, but whatever =P) DC2 vs AE86T - Akina DH dry - win (Was really easy, his Trueno was undertuned quite a bit and was really n00bish in a way, ie. hitting the walls a lot) In the Bunta challenges, I actually got 2 Racer LVL stars afterward. |

IDW Member Group: Members Posts: 11 Member No.: 18,929 Joined: Jul 13th 2006 Location: Update Profile | I played Techn0 and I beat him once on Irohazaka, but lost the next time. Had to be because I had a cut that just started bleeding on my finger and got around the steering wheel and Ducky went to the bathroom to get wet paper towels. He placed them right on my gears meter and stuff so I didn't know if I was over reving or what gear I was on and lost my lead alot til' I threw the paper on the floor. I'll race him again next time. |

I was with my bros and we were all just chillin there, some of them left to go to the casino after, and I left shortly after I was done. XD Anyway, got a few races with 2 of the locals there. I used a stock FD at around 50k. FD3SI vs CN9A Iro DHD - win; he was TAing it with his E4 so I decided to take him there. FD3SI vs. R32 Akagi DHW Boost ON - win; my bro wanted to race me... I can't say I didn't warn him. XD FD3SI vs. AE86M Happo IBD Boost OFF 1x, Boost ON 2x - win (3); - I raced this guy during my freshman year and he beat me cuz I was very rusty back then. Looks like it was the other way around this time. He kept trying to take me on Happo IBD but couldn't stay within 50m. After that... I took the Happo OBD record with this car. Even with all the mistakes I still took it with a 2'27". XD Will go later today... |

I hit the gass took off and passed him before the RHOD O.o Second set, A regular who I am friends with: ST205 vs. CN9A Snow DH Boost OFF =Win. He wanted to race and decided to pick Snow DH. He wanted some practice with me on my home course. I am top in my city on the course. But, yeah I think I won by like 900+ m ST205 vs. CN9A Usui CW Wet Boost OFF = Loss. I messed up bad on the first hairpin. Don't know why. Oh well. After that it was all downhill...Lost by about 1200+ I pulled over. Ejected card. CT9A vs. CN9A Tsuchi OB Dry Boost OFF = Loss. He got start up. After that I was within 50m the entire time. At the rollers I got to -4.3m and then I couldnt see and like walltapped and he pulled away...At the last 2 turns I caught up to him. He won my 2.1m >_< CT9A vs. CN9A Snow DH Boost OFF = Win. I hold the top time in my city with my Evo 7. So this one was easy. HE insisted on me going there. I was like okay.
