Hi pro drifters,

What's the easiest way to Full-Tune your car?

My understanding is,

After 3 rounds, get to change a part.
After another 3 rounds, get to Tune your car.

So 7-7-7-7-7 would need [3 + 3] x 7-7-7-7-7 = 210?

What's a better option, story or TA?
Would the online version help to tune faster?

Sorry am new into IDAS 5

Yes, online version is easier to tune. It saves more time than money though. I went to try and it was $2 for one play but every time you play you can tune. So you can save about $70 and much more time.

So for the normal version, every 3 rounds you've to take out and insert your card to tune?

Online version, every round?

Am i right ?

Correct - but why wouldn't you play the online version anyway, given the chance?

does he have EXP2.0 there?


EXP2.0 online or offline also the same... every round.
so to call it online version isn't really correct.

story, TA, battle to tune.. is your choice.. it cost the same anyway.

may want to start off with Story mode if points is low cos TA and Battles may not earn points fast enough for some of the more expensive tunings and parts combined. especially so for EXP2.0

Took me close to 7 hrs to fulltune 1 new car in ver 2.0.
w/o any force quit.

Wow rei.g u sat on the machine for 7 hours?!

Anyway how much it cost for u to ft a car?

Isit u start 2 cred, continue 1 cred, den eject, tune interior, 1 more continue, eject n tune interior again?

no, is eject everytime. u cannot skip the exterior tuning.

Fting a car is nightmare...2 more to go...

Wa means after every game eject?! Sega really noes how to milk us

yea.. MUST to eject.. so FT 2 cars can renew the card already... lol

i guess Sega is giving the arcades a chance to earn back the $$ they lose by the faster tuning process...

So to ft a car the ver 2.0 way,

number of steps = 7x5
=35
cost per game (VIP) = SGD0.90x2
= SGD1.80
cost to tune 1 step = SGD1.80x2
=SGD3.60
total cost = SGD3.60x35
=SGD126??

yea...

compared to

EXP:

2 x 0.9 x 1 (initial 2 rounds for 1st internal)
6 x 0.9 x 34 (next 34 internals)

total: 185.4


hehe thats why the double top up should buy extra new cards to take advantage of it due to the value limit.. it halves everything

Haha so im guesing u bought plenty of cards?? I got nebo ba so shuld be okay. Hence, for nebo, total cost will be

SGD126 divide by 2 = SGD63

with 7%GST, SGD67.41

haha.. kinda... a couple.. not plenty.

too old for nebo... >_< booho...

wah lau... GST also add in sia...

Hmm a couple?? 4-8?? I think im starting on ek9 soon.

top 2... buy 2.. lol... should be enough to last me for at least up to June...
miss the old Downtown East top20 get 20 free promo tho.


hmm EK9...
ok.. digressing...back to the relevant thread...

don't forget the points needed for your external upgrades if you are putting any on...

safest bet for new card is Story Mode.

don't bother buying external parts first until you tune your internal towards the end.
external parts does not affect your car performance. (beside a big GT-wing to block your opponent's view ).

Now if only that big wing would get in the way of the driver's rear view mirror too...

Both the same. Just that Story can get more points

sorry for asking such a ridiculous question, but..is FTing a car really necessary?? I mean..in my opinion full tune is not always the best..well it's just my opinion though..and another question..is there anyway my car with 3-1-6-3-1 tuning can win against a FT car (my car is an R32 GT-R) in tracks like Irohazaka and happogahara??

For battle, boost on and boost off should be no diiference base on my experience, game balances the untuned car to full-tune potential I think.

For time attack a 0-0-0-0-0 will be about 5sec slower than a full-tune car.

Mmmm...perhaps the difference isn't as noticeable in battles, or with the more 'powerful' cars? Based on my experience (admittedly, only with one car, but the contrast is stark enough to tell), there's a whole world of difference between a stock car and a fully-tuned car. I wouldn't give myself a snowball's chance in hell with a stock AE85.

it's not about the cars, it's about the drivers.

but for TA purpose:
1 Full tuned car > 1 million non-ft cars.

oh? does it?

i kinda feel that theres a difference... not really noticable in corner-rich sections... but once the road opens into straight hit, the FT car will just pull and pull on a lowly tuned car.

throw in a FT car.. its really not all that obvious anymore...


yea.. driver plays a huge part too... Any car w/ pro drive >>> FT Car w/ Bad driver.. any time any day. thats how big a difference the car management makes.

thx for your info, well I'm kindda lazy to play TA, just like to battle in happo and Iro..based on my experience well..handling tuning like suspension, and bodyworks does matter (a lot)..I've once (actually it's well kindda three times) defeat a kid with a same car and with 7-1-3-1-1 tuning with my car 3-1-4-2-1...just asking for your opinion guys...because I never actually battle a FT car...wish to compare cars ability in happo IB
