Yes. Read the thread on "Kylie's" Single Turbo.

Shift points have already been discussed in depth for the Type R and FC models.

I'm not religious.


You can probably find a good amount of information in the FAQ, especially from the link to GameFAQs. Be sure to read before asking for tips. ChaiThai's FAQ happens to have a section by section set of instructions.

My guess is you're either hitting walls or not taking turns full throttle when possible.

Thanks for the good information Isolator. As you can see, a lot of these questions have been asked before. You can find them by browsing around. (well its already up there) 2'12'00 is impossible. Well not impossible but not done yet.

if you are only running a 2'26 you are no where near ready to aim for a 2'12. pulling a second off your time gets exponentially more difficult the faster you get. for now just focus on not hitting the walls. once you can do a clean run with no wall contact, then shoot for a 2'12.

im fairly sure 2'11 is possible, you just need a huge RS AND a perfect run.

I already read the faq on gamefaqs.com..all 3 of them...but they didnt give an in-depth faq on how to take on akagi with the fastest time possible...the faq by ChaiThai says that on the consecutive m-turns you must brake on the third turn...On akagi i dont brake!!! i just take on them with accel off or sometimes with full speed...Can anybody give me an indepth faq or tips on how to take on akagi with the fastest time...mainly im having problems with 2 turns in akagi...namely the first hairpin left and the EXTREMLY sharp right turn after the second checkpoint..Please help me with those..i would glady appreciate it!!! TY!!!!!!!!!!

you need to use the brake to get lower than a 2'18.

my normal exit speeds for each turn are
(+-2 kmph of course)

all turns are a good line with no wall contact at all.

cp1 (39.0)
141 light brake and accel out
157
140
137
134
??(depends on the turn before it mostly)

cp2 (28.7)
142
156
130 brake hard down shift to 4th and turn (clean exit is more important than exit speed on this turn)

cp3 (34.7)
143
148
(easy right at 153)
157
(easy right at 162+)

cp4 (31.7)
155
153
154
153
(easy right at 160ish)

those are my best section times and exit speeds. if you can do 90% of those turns at a similar speed in one run you can easily get a high 2'14 like mine.

that sounds like a 14 run maybe. i only do 15'4 and seem to match everything cept for V-turn (never consistant) and the right hander before cp4. that 157 is feint or no?

feint no feint, its all the same. feint messes up the line sometimes so i dont use it.

I also heard even if you have a full tune <990,000 and above> you will also gain more hp on your card by gaining more points.

For example: AE86 (Option A) with 1,000,000 points loose to a
AE86 (Option A) with 2,000,000 points even if the
drivers are equal in skill.

can anyone verify it?

nope, after full tune the cars go the same speed.

Ei Masa!!! Tnx 4 the tips on akagi!!!...i practiced on your turning speeds and i cut my time to a 2'18'00...still having troubles though on the Extremely Sharp right hairpin after the second checkpoint...But tnx 4 the tips...anyway does anybody know where to get a detailed map of akagi...just give me the site or u cud e-mail it to me...i would glady appreciate it!!! by the way my email is atticus_1_3@yahoo.com if anybody cud give me more tips reply in this forum...im so psyched to beat that 2'12'00 record..but i know it will still be a looooooooonnggg waY to go!!!

The V-turn. I use to take it at 135-140 only because i figured instead of taking like any normal turn, i would hit the inside of it and slow down enough 135-140 to go around and not hit the outside wall. Only been tried in my car with me driving but that can only be done in Ver. 2. Which i now dont have coz all 4 of the machines are Ver. 3. Damn them. Yeh, i tried the way i previously stated and it didnt work, took me down to 114. Not kool . So that should be a way of taking the V-turn. Glad to have helped.

if you exit any faster than 132 you will either take the wrong line or hit the walls, either way it is a lot slower.

maybe thats why he's the FD king like he says in the other thread, heh. but running even a time of 17, a 126-128 clean out of the v-turn is more than good enough.

The FD king, lol. I cant remember saying i was the FD king, but yeh, i loved that FD, i gave it away so i might drop in and get it back again for when Ver. 3 is converted to english.

nah, i suck. i know a few people who are consistently faster than me on akagi.

pff. Ben the FD king, sorry i cant take that.

oh yea, for got to mention. the v-turn, 2nd turn in cp2, and last turn in cp4 are the most important turns on akagi. if you mess up on any one of those 2'14 is nearly impossible.

If any of you want to know who the FD king really is, post up your 4 course time and we'll see who gets through all the courses the fastest. only then we will know

yea thats true ^^^.

anyway my FD comment was just a simple sarcastic comment toward Ben out of boredom.

my time is 10'26...kinda slow, but theory time is 10'20.

same here. akina is killen me though, along with happo

10'22.534 for me....if anyone cares? i used mah Type R >_<.and Akagi the Type R shgould be best down hill/spirit R uphill. The Fc for me is Equal on both runs for me,i mean Dh i'm pulling 2'19s and Uh i'm pulling 2'19s also my best times for Akagi is,2'17.xxx in my Type R and 2'18.xxx for my spirit R,i know i can go faster in my Type R but i need to keep practing!

hmm...157 exit for the last right turn on cp3 for akagi?!?!
i exit at 153max!!!!
my time is 2:14:3xx
so around urs i assume
dayam!
u have to feint rite?

even 158 might be possible, i exit 157 using out in midout. if you use out in out it might be faster, but its easier to mess up and hit the wall, which is just devastating to a fast run. to do the turn faster you have to be entering at 162+. what are your section times for that run? i assume your cp3 and cp1 are really fast, because mine were fairly slow when i ran 2'14 (cp1 was .4 behind!!)
