I've been playing ID4 with a S15 and a 180sx..
And they both seem to go awesome, but everyone tells me that ae86's are the best.. :/
I'm gonna update my card to ID5, and do you think I should make a 86? Or stick to my s15.. :/?

I've never lost a in-store battle with my s15... But then again, the 86 might be faster. :]

Just wondering what I should do! So I thought, why not post here?

1. You can't transfer Your D4 to D5
2. (This is My Opinion, not in General or Fact) I'd go with S15

well... it all depends on yourself doesn't it?

The AE86 is good. for sure it will be good because it is the main car of the story.
but there are many many AE86s around.

on the other hand... 180sx and S15 are both pretty uncommon.
Rare in fact. but somewhat more challenging to learn than the 86 and FD.

i have a Sil80... it runs decently well


so its your choice.
you want to start the best car and be one of the many who start the AE86 just because it is the best car?
or start the 180sx and s15 because it is what you like...

I say go with 180x since it's 5 gears car, 5 gear is easier to handle than 6gear S15, I have S15 too wink2.gif

It wont let me edit my other post.. It just gives me a fatal error on whichever browser i use -.-...

anyway.
@stormfox
Good point.. I think I might add a 86 onto my liscence.. But keep my s15 as the main one.. So is ID5 harder than ID4?

@venth85
I kinda rather 6 gears.. I know it has its disadvantages on some tracks, but I seem to go well on ID4..

ID4 to ID5 conversion? unless you are in japan with jap cards....

outside of japan versions are a no conversion anywhere. erm... unless you all got something that we dont...

are you very very sure your friend converted an ID4 card to ID5?


-------------------


hmm... it is more in a general.. 6 speed is much harder to handle in ID5.
cos some of the cornering speeds are like smack at the edge of 6speed gears.
not to mention extra shifting needed cos this version is extreme braking and acceleration based.

if you are going to start both 180sx and S15 sooner or later...
i would suggest going with the 180sx first.
5speed is much easier to get the hang of first.
then you have one less worry when exploring the new physics and tracks.
then.. you can challenge yourself with a 6speed.

take your pick.
whichever car you choose, they will work equally well in general play
just choose something that you like and will have fun with laugh.gif


and yea.. ID5 is more complicated than ID4. you'll find out soon enough with or without people telling you.

hmmmmmm............

outside japan... our machines are Version EXP. which is different from Japan. i remember reading somewhere that Jap cards cannot convert on EXP version machines.


EXP for EXPort.. looks the same as jap machines... but it really isnt.

There's a small indicator whenever you play the game, "This is overseas arrange version" or something. Your card should also have the small EXP on the bottom left.

Well...count yourself unlucky that they did the version EXP...

Anyway, just drive what you like. Seriously, you will do ok with any car. Just check the IR...non-course cars perform around the same.

I like the S15 more, it may not be as stable as the 180SX but being able to control the S15 well shows great skills plus its a 6 gear car and 6 gears tend to be a bit better! Doesn't it have one of the best start up at well? Go for the S15.

Well honestly, I don't start at full throttle.. I keep at around 1/4-1/2 throttle throughout the first part of the race.. Then I speed up whenever.. And wizz by them, just to confuse them.. :>

Using the Trueno or the RX-7 Type R is the equivilent of using Ryu or Ken in Street Fighter. Using them well isn't really anything to brag about since they are both well rounded cars.

I actually take a fancy to the Silvia Spec R. I'm using a Supra right now, but I was very satisfied using it in a test run. A very solid choice for both power and cornering.

I just got a 180sx and test drive it, I must say the car handles better than S15 and SIL80 or even my almost FT FC3S o___o, and the pickup is pretty fast too, kinda regret that I didn't tune it in 1st place sad.gif

S15 is more of a battle car, it is fast (in my opinion). Meanwhile, 180SX is also good in the way of TA (two courses second course car)... But i'll go with the 180SX because it's 5 gear.
