Seeing as it's a new version, how 'bout a new *Post your Day* thread? Try to make you posts a little meaningful eg:

I did X'XX on tsukuba OB etc. and a description of what went wrong or right smile.gif

So me first biggrin.gif

Today I got my very first battle, and OMFG Boost is too overpowered!

MR2 vs FD3S iro dhd win BOOST

MR2 vs FD3S tsukuba OBD win BOOST

MR2 vs FD3S lake akina CWD lose BOOST

both times I wanted boost off, but we ended up playing with it. pretty much was trailing the whole time, then on the last 2 turns I snuck in. then the same happened to me the last time around >.>

Then played a bit of LoTS, beat nakazato first go, was wondering how someone could lose 5 times on a row to him. Then pulled a 3'04 on Iroha. Long way to go but its early days tongue.gif

ummm.... pulled a 59'2 today on iro, the best i can do with a treuno

I saw some crappy times in my local arcades and wiped it off #1 on Tsukuba.
Crashed a bit and did 2'52" on both directions. I guess that PWNED the silly GC8V.

Also something to comment on.... we decided to call that stupid triple turn the "Crop Circle" turn (CP3 Tsukuba OB with the left, right and left turn).

We're trying to beat the aliens XD

aw you coulda called it somethin better than that like the fanny turn (cause it looks like an ass)... ok nevermind that sounds kinda gay. stick with crop circle though dunno why other than the grassy shortcuts

anyway my day was just 2 races waiting for my friend to arrive to go eat. hopped on and lost 2 races with NO BOOST on akina dh-_-. both i was using a new GDBF with only 4 suspension mods and 2 chassis. the 1st one i was grumpy cause it was BS. understeered at a corner my other cars dont understeer at. lost a LOT of ground but still made it up and scraped his bumper as we crossed the finish at a sad 3'16".

the second race was the 1st good battle i've had in a long time. i had the lead but got nudged into a wall in the S turns and got passed. but the decrease in speed allowed me to make my best turn ever at RHOD (of course i failed to check the entry speed for reference-_-) and hit 173 kph by the end of the stretch (note i was not using boost). he blocked me though till the consecs where i finally passed. but then at the fireworks hairpin he scraped my bumper and hit a wall. i thought that was the end as i saw him fade in my mirror but as i was halfway through the straight i was realizing his nudge screwed my exit speed, killing my acceleration and i wasnt gonna his my usual 160's for the turns. the fact that he hit the wall allowed him to accelerate from a lower gear which led to faster accel. so by the turns he was doin at least 155 and i was scraping 145 barely-_-. i fought him best i could but the SOB passed me and barely beat me at about 3'12"

whew omg sorry wrote a crapload for 2 measly races XD!

I think the trueno is a little bit overpowered.. did a '57"2 with a stock trueno on iro when i couldn't even hit that time with my mr2. =/

And I don't know why( applies to mr2 drivers only), is anyone experiencing acceleration problems in tsukuba? that car seems to be not accelerating that well compared to the evos and skylines and even the 85. =/

And yes i've tried the penalty cancel and etc.. it's tuned to 4-0-0-0-4, yet a stock fc still beats it's acceleration..

but the cornering of the mr2 is godly..

Tried so many maps today with te mr2.. Got fished by so many people. Yet still won them.. except some stupid evo on tsukuba, where I realised the mr2's shitty acceleration but godly cornering abilities there

played for the first time today at sunshine


made trueno and evo9


beat akina lake, kent - Kyle (Kyouichi) - k.t. in akagi and Hawk (Seiji) in iro

Posted by: Phoenix_Cypher_K1 Jul 22 2007, 02:39 AM
Played abit, scored some really crap TAs. 58"5 FD on Iro DDH with tuning of 5-1-1-1-2 (OMG)

Gah need to get used more to the physics.

If I can do a 56, you could do a 54 oh godly master. XD Really..

Posted by: ?wha? Jul 23 2007, 12:31 AM
ahhhh 3 battles, 2 of which are really really peeved about

MR2 vs evo IX iro dhd win

well it was tempting, had him taken on first jump and left him there.

MR2 vs iro IX dhd lose, MR2 vs evo IX akina dhd lose

the above two were different from the first, and OMFG I hate the bugger! wall rammed me all over the shop he did, and you cannot pass even when trailing >1m cause he wall rammed me!! really pissed me off it did :rant: its even worse than v3 cause it kills a hell more speed wall ramming this time around

Posted by: FknAzN Jul 23 2007, 12:40 AM
Yehh
They made passing in this REALLLLLY hard!!!

And wall ramming pisses me off when ur JUST about to pass because u had a buttload of speed and they're just sloooowwww but then they intentionally turn to block u into a wall!

GRRRR

I just let people pass me when i know im beat, theres no point to it, a wins a win, but when its a dirty win its just not worth it...

Unless they're a dirty player, then watever...alls far in love and war...

Posted by: Retsuka Jul 23 2007, 12:56 AM
best battle ive ever had in any initial D version

RETSU vs NGTR!
ae86 vs R32 (both cars only had 3 steps of tuning)
irohazaka downhill dry night.

now this guy is the best skyline driver in new zealand, we go way back till ver2 so it was nice racing him again, race went like so.

we start off and he gets head start, i trail him bumping him on the ass for about 4 turns before he manages to pull a 40m lead then 50m then 60m at the worst part... i was taking turns faster than him but you know how it works on iro, first car that goes on straight still gains advantage, anyway i trail him and start catching up until about 47m and when we arrive at the jumps he slides outward and misses the first jump while i hit it spot on and over take him, we contined and he took the 2nd but slid outward for the 3rd which stuffed up his 4th one too... when once in the race i thought it was lost i ended up beating him by 80m with a time of 2'54.

another close race was on tsukuba agaisnt CHAOS

RETSU vs CHAOS
ae86 vs fd3s (his car had about 8 more tuning steps than mine)
tsukuba outbound dry.

start off with him getting head start and me trailing him for most of the map keeping between 10-14m of him at all times... worst part of the race was me 30m behind him, anyways i was bumping on his ass quite often but you cant pass cars so easily so blocking was simple for him, we arrived at the LRL of tsukuba and i managed to cleanly pass him by taking the grassy shortcut, the race continued on closly for about 30 more seconds before i pulled away and beat him by 50m, finishing time was 2'57

trueno may be the TA god... but its far from being the battle god. FD has that position.

I saw Myko aka NGTR! this morning, damn that guy is godly when he drives his skyline. I've known him since V3 and I've only beaten him when I fished him.

Anyways I had my first proper ID4 session today. Second time playing this game and still trying to get use to the new physics. Had quite a big problem with Keisuke on Akagi, took me about 4 tries to beat him. But ran out of money after attempting Ryosuke 4 times. I always overtake him in section 2 with the tightening series of S turns to the very sharp hairpin. I can keep the lead until the final 4 consecs then he catches up to me and passes me at the final right sweeper.

aww dude!! that suks!! that happened to my friend, exactly.

Posted by: MAFD Jul 24 2007, 01:04 AM
It seems like in this version the opponents are very predictable like before. They are fast at exactly the same sections. So if you can pull a good lead and hold them off then you are guaranteed to win.

Posted by: ?wha? Jul 24 2007, 02:21 AM
ARGH going backwards today!! ran a 3'10 on iro dh! first I've done in a longg time >.< I think stock spoiler suits me better cause C-One seems to make me go slower. oh and I reversed myself TWICE....... once on first jump and once during jumps sleep.gif"

Posted by: shfta Jul 24 2007, 03:32 AM
only 1 person is in my way before i complete LOTS...Tak (Takumi) on tsukuba....lost to him twice...surprise me when i beat KT in 1 go...in tsukuba...lol
hope i can finish it without spend too much money...

Posted by: Phoenix_Cypher_K1 Jul 24 2007, 09:40 AM
Added an 86 into my garage. Went for a TA spin, and it sunk my Iro DDH FD time just like that blink.gif 56"1. Tried the FD later and got 54"9, but not without several tries. X_X

Now, all the exterior upgrades go to the 86 since I'm done with the FD's (bar the expensive bodykit). The performance ones still go to the FD since it's not FT'd yet.

Finished LotS for a second time as well. Also changed the shirt of my character. The outcome is shown over at my avatar.

Also did 3'10"7 Akina Downhill Dry with the FD. Getting the hang of penalty cancelling now.

Posted by: MAFD Jul 24 2007, 03:29 PM
Had 3 games with SAVIS today.

1. AE86 vs RX8 Irohazaka dh dry - Was still getting used to being able to floor it through Iro and using penalty cancel - lost

2. AE86 vs RX8 Akagi dh dry - Lost as well...

3. AE86 vs RX8 Akina dh dry - He had to go so he asked me to fish him, accidently left boost on so was quite a fun match. - won.

Then I finally beat Ryosuke at Akagi (1st try of the day). Breezed through Akina with no problems until I hit Takumi. Tried 5 times and couldn't beat him. Need to get used to turning in early and using penalty cancel.

EDIT: Popped in after uni and had another few goes, finally bet Takumi by overtaking him at the RHOD then trying to block him throught the consecs. He overtook me at the 2nd consec but managed to stay close and pass him in the final section. Then had a game against Seiji on Irohazaka and have to say he was piss easy. I'm getting used to the whole brake penalty cancel thing too smile.gif

woot played a bit of LotS. vsed ryosuke on aagi straight off the bat, managed to win first go with a good 70+m. I really can't grasp how people keep losing to him! Then ran a 3'01 on iro.... 1 tuning step makes 9 secs of difference >.> biggrin.gif and finally beat Kai outright biggrin.gif.

I find to beat Kai, you need to keep him from passing before the first jump, and clear it without him passing. from there its a cakewalk as the danger point is the first jump. I can clear it about 90 now so I pipped him from passing there

Posted by: Phoenix_Cypher_K1 Jul 25 2007, 04:36 AM
I entered the arcade, debating in my mind on wanting to get either the S2000 or the RX-8.

When it was time to buy the car to add to the FD and 86, the coin slot jammed on me. mad.gif And when I did get the second token in, time ran out =_=

So in the end, the debate on my mind was never resolved =.=

sleep.gif And since the only reason I went was to add the car into the garage I had no extra tokens. crying2.gif

Did LoTS , beating Keisuke and Takumi on Tsukuba.

Posted by: Braja Jul 25 2007, 06:52 AM
finally found asakurayume today! well he's got like 10 cards with diff names but finally found him. he was the 1st to hit 2'57" on akina dh. i played with him everyday in beta testing but havent seen him till today. man he gets crazy speeds. today he was using an FD3S. watched him and later he coached me a bit. got new ways to take the corners. didnt have time or money to perfect it but i'll try again later this week. i was able to take 3 turns like 10kph faster than usual. hopefully can hit the 3'00" mark soon, considering i did a 3'04" with my old techniques. fingers crossed...

also won 3 in a row and got my new GDBF to B1 rank. no biggie but nice for one day. moving along well

Posted by: kct Jul 25 2007, 07:04 AM
5 games in a row (4 LotS and 1 TA on Akina Lake), basically got performance mods to 1-1-0-1-1, changed the wheels to a set of nice gold Advan RCIIs, since my aim is to recreate C-West's Evo IX, as seen on their site.

Messed up in Iro though.

Posted by: MAFD Jul 26 2007, 06:02 PM
Meet up with Retsuka today and he showed me a few tips about Irohazaka and Tsukuba. I then proceeded to beat Kyouichi and Kai on Iro with no problems at all. With Kai I managed to block him up to the jumps and I blocked him through the first jump too. He then overtook me on the 3rd jump but I took him back just before the final set of consec hairpins. I flew through Tsukuba with no problems either only had to try again for God Hand. Then I defeated Takumi and Keisuke but lost to Bunta on Akina.

Cheers Retsuka for the help laugh.gif

finally got my card. i beat akina lake, i beat the first 3 races on myogi, first race on iro, first 2 races on akina, and lost twice to Mr. Civic Type R pinch2.gif on tsukuba

Posted by: shadow_z3r0 Jul 26 2007, 07:00 PM
Had this happened to me yesterday. Posted it in one of the other threads too.. =P

There's this almost ft evo9 noob that challenged me and my mr2. Thought i was gonna get smoked when i saw the tuning on his car.. he brought me to iro dh dry for the first 4 challenges. Yea, I won all 4.. by about 30-50m for all.

And then he looks at me and calls me a fisher.

I was like.. Omg, this scene feels so damn familiar when I played IDASV3. Wtf, no one asked you to bring the top car on iro to its home course. And not to mention his car is like about 5-7-3-3-7(or something like that. I only clearly noticed the 2 ft parts and the engine).

And he calls me a fisher. sleep.gif"

Then he brings me to tsukuba for our 5th match. I got smoked by 200m.

I was like, "ok if that's how you wanna play it.." I continued my game, not realising that if he had challenged me and if i continued the game, he still has the advantage of choosing the course. Me and my smart ass and impatience of waiting for the card to eject etc... =/

He brings me to tsukuba outbound dry again. This time, in a desperate attempt, I rammed him at startup and got the lead. Blocked him all the way until he overtook me at the last hairpin before the finish line. It felt like I was playing LoTS vsing Keisuke on level 3 or something.. =/

After that, took him to iro dh dry(finally found the sense to eject the card, though he was rushing to force quit his game so that i won't challenge him back). He rammed me on startup and i was like 80m behind him by the time i reached the first hairpin. =/

I still won him by 30m in the end. XD

Then he continued and did the same mistake that I did, so I get to choose the course again, this time taking him to akina dh dry. Bad move though, although I won, I had to block him all the way. MASSIVE acceleration advantage. Only managed to gain leads on the corners.

After that battle, he stands up and shouts, "WILL YOU STOP F*CKING FISHING ME? YOU KNOW HOW PRECIOUS MY CAR IS?!"

I was like.. uh.. wtf...?? Being faced so much with this type of people (and gotten used to it), I just brushed it aside, and said to him "Dude, this is just a game. Chill man.. If it helps, I'll buy you a drink after I'm done here."

He stares at me, runs to the counter to top up his swipe card, ejects his card and rechallenges me to akina lake. sleep.gif"

Rammed him at startup again though he managed to lead, but only for a few moments. XD

Obviously he doesn't know what Penalty Cancel is. Blocked him all the way till the finish line. XD

He now heads to top his card up again, but with the long queue at the counter, I managed to force quit my way out of my game before he heads back and terrorises me again. X(

Note: All races were boost off, thanks to the stupid dignity thing in Singapore.

And after I ejected my card, I still offered him, "You still need your chilling drink?" He just ignores me and continues with his own game, switching on his In-Store battle option thinking that I might rechallenge him again. And soon, I finally found out, he hasn't even finished his first cycle on LoTS. =/

I think he's Malaysian for some reason. Because I'm one too and I know how sore losers from there act like. XD

Ah well...

Posted by: MAFD Jul 27 2007, 04:51 PM
lol it was AZFDIK laugh.gif

UPDATE: Just got back from the arcade after meeting up with the YG Revilution boys. They were all too busy crowding around the maximum tune 3 machine so I had a few games of ID3 by myself. Tried out the wall raping tech on Irohazaka and got around 2'59"6xx. This is on a stock Trueno with step 1 engine upgrade only. Still have to work on it though definitely more improvements to come. Other than that I got step 2 engine tune + carbon bonnet today.

Posted by: supagk Jul 28 2007, 05:52 AM
some hogs were hogging the machine and i didnt play.... saved my $3?

Posted by: BDDEE@ Jul 28 2007, 06:46 AM
got 2'57 iro dh and 3'03 iro rev in stock gc8.. 1go on both
i keep forgetting to eject everytime to tune up my card xD

Posted by: shadow_z3r0 Jul 28 2007, 07:55 AM
I just did a 54 in iro with a stock capp today. O_o

don't ask me how.. i can't do it again for nuts.. the best part about it is that i wasn't even doing a TA. It was just against Kyoichi on iro dry.. =/

The acceleration for the capp is way way higher than my mr2.. why is the mr2 still tops for iro? that still puzzles me.. does a ft mr2 run faster than a ft capp?

Posted by: Phoenix_Cypher_K1 Jul 28 2007, 10:44 PM
Finished LotS for the third time today. So far most opponents havent given me trouble. (Takumi and Bunta on Akina are the exceptions....).

Also did Tsukuba OB 2'53"8 with the FD. My CP4 killed off what could have been a lower 53 sad.gif

Posted by: ChaosAngel Jul 29 2007, 12:12 AM
went to arcade and played ID4 for the first time

made myself an black FD.....should have chose white......anyway managed to finish akina lake and myogi, got myself a RE amy....(forgot the name) spoiler and muffler, planning to get all of parts that the FD had from 4th stage, after KT crashed......

I got smoked by my friend with his trueno HAHA!! but overall it was great fun.. it's just that i have a job so i went home early.. i just cleared lake akina and myogi.. still thinking of what parts i'm going to upgrade.. engine parts hopefully.. smile.gif

Posted by: ChaosAngel Jul 29 2007, 11:35 PM
when i was picking parts for my FD, half the time i didnt know what i was picking coz the timer was sooooooo short!! >.<" they should make it longer....coz u just dont have time to look through everything unless ur only looking at one section but then u can prob only go through half of the list.....

Just did LotS today. Beat up Akagi for the first time today. Also got Cole (Iketani) (Iketani) on Akina.

Still adjusting to the games physics. xD

Mo!!!! where the hell have you been damn traitor! tongue.gif goin off to play tekken eh?

anyway, ran a '01 on iro dhd... damn wall taps esp with rear. I don't know how people can full crash into a wall and lose zero speed while I tap the rear and get hammered 10 k's.

and a '20 on akina dhd. sleep.gif" would've been a 18 - 17 if it weren't for 1st section.

hehx... played against a guy today... challenged him to a duel... won him in the end... then one guy came with a subaru... full of mods... but skill was that of a one year old... sad.... if he had trained his drift techniques, might have defeated me flat... but even with my lowly mods i could stick to him.... but then i screwed myelf in a corner and his big-assed engine jus pulled away from me.... damn wish i had concentrated more...
*shrugs* oh well... i must improve myself... >.<

Broke Myogi's Downhill record by 4secs on my FD=D
Should have seen the guy's face=D
Thinks his GT-R bnr34, full tuned, is fast-.-



( My FD oni has 4 tunes grin2.gif )

Posted by: Sly Jul 30 2007, 07:01 AM
haha full tune doesn't necessarily means victory... if i had concentrated(which i had regretted not doing so), tt subaru guy would nvr have won, even with his full tune car... think he's some big shot... haha (vents anger)

I played the game earlier, made my card, made 3 cars and beat lots until Akina until I ran out of cash. I'm really not liking the physics. Not because its different (heck, I play a lot of racing games with different physics: BG3, BG4, GT4, Kaido Battle 3, and IDver3) but because of a lot of stuff I find annoying.

There's the random understeer I keep experiencing especially on Myogi. Where you do your turn all the way then suddenly the car stops turning like you hit an invisible wall.

Oh I like the frills, the gimmicks and all but playing the game itself its... I dont know...

Anyway, I still have my missions for Ver3, will keep doing like 3 or 4 runs a week in Ver4 just to keep a feel for the game and get the times. It also seems like no matter what car I'm using ( I made a trueno, FC and S2k) it all just drives the same. I do a combination of old school driving like in Ver3 with a lot more attention to my speeds and the map.

Maybe I will play the game more when the prices go down.

Played today and beat a couple more LoTS opponents 2nd time round. Then had 2 battles:

MAFD (AE86T) vs BAKA (AE86T) - Akagi downhill dry - won

MAFD (AE86T) vs BAKA (AE86T) - Irohazaka downhill dry - loss

Then I started TAing Akagi downhill dry and ended up getting 2'46'5xx, about 0.1s slower than Retsuka's record.

Yeah sitting there the whole day is VERY easy to do, but I would feel bad about spending all that money... It is isn't it.. I'm deciding whether to FT my 180 and then continue with the other cars.. Hard choice!

It was the same story with this place until recently.

Battled two different 86s today. Both chose to take me to Iro. I beat the first guy but lost to the second.

Tuned my FD to 7-5-5-6-5. Full tune is near. I can so feel it w00t2.gif

I also picked up an RX-8, scrapped the 86 in the process. I wanna see how this baby works at full tune biggrin.gif

Also played some TA:

3'08"8 Akina Downhill Dry FD (Was +0'6xx going into CP3, my CP3 was about a second faster so I managed to scrape out a new record)

2'57"9 Iro Downhill Wet RX-8. (For fun, nothing else really)

On top of that I cleared LotS for the fourth time now tongue.gif Already into the fifth one, cleared Akagi and Iro opponents.

Just had a battle session with SAVIS and this guy using a MR2. Racked up 12 straight wins. Turns out that our machine gives you a bonus of 10000 points after 5 straight wins then kicks you off. Raced the MR2 guy about 10 times and he obviously didn't know about penalty cancel. He was saying how he was faster last week and it must be a bug that he's losing to me by 250m+ every race. He then asked if we can swap machines which I obliged. But the results were the same. Got a couple more tuning parts so now I'm at Stage 2 engine, Stage 1 suspension and Stage 1 body reinforcement. Good day I would say.

geeez yeah i wish i could get a sucker like that. i've gotten 12 in a row but only in D3-B1 ranks. my higher cards its impossible unless i have a good day. man i cant wait to go back home and play. the good thing of the online system is you get better competition. thats great usually. but some days i just wanna up my win percentage. impossible when you can't choose your opponents. it will always put you with close competition. no room for relaxing. even pride champs and record holders have no higher than 70% by SS.

Posted by: Retsuka Aug 1 2007, 02:11 AM
what a day xD!! (or 5 hours oO!!)

well went to check in how things were... ID4 and MT3 are next to each other so i found somewhat 15 people around the machines battling here and there and ghosting on MT3.

the dude baka was beating sum nub then got owned by (>_<)! i didnt take my platinum card or anything to the arcade so had to start a new plastic... lmao got it to gold with first top up ><, gotta register for it to be sent though =.=".

didnt challenge (>_<)! but started a new s2000 (3rd one lol.. i love the colors) and will stick with this car for ever now.

beat LOTS in 1 sitting... faced bunta and lost? not once but x2... i got pissed off and started driving kamekazi style and beat him on the 3rd go... got like 3'16 or something which was a disapointment.

as stated before i TA'd akagi just to get some distance between the no1 and no2 spots and got like 2'44'xxx with stock s2000.

started TAing akina after that and kept on improving, within 2 games i got my time from 3'16 to 3'12'3 (machine highest at this time was 3'11'735 i think) i thought why not so played one more time and i kinda thought i could not beat the no1 time so easily but got 3'11'4xx. knowing me i wasnt satisfied with that so tried a couple more games... i think i force quited one or two games before running a 3'10'3xx... breaking the old record by about 1.6 seconds (not my old record (>_<)!'s one).
3'10'3xx was done with 1/5 tuned s2000. i can run constant 3'10-3'11's now so i doubt bunta will be any trouble for at least 5 more completions. happy.gif

done some more TA's on random maps and got pretty much all no1 places on the machine expect myogi and lake akina (cbf with those tracks)

the s2000 is looking pretty sexy atm.

Posted by: Fuzz Aug 1 2007, 05:06 AM
i've ft'ed my rx-7 now and was looking at starting the s2000, found that it was pretty fast for a stock car on akagi, gonna concentrate on tuning it and practice the times with my rx-7

I've just reached complete Step 4 for my trueno. I notice my TA timings are all stagnant with little to no improvement. crying2.gif It has been like this and today just confirms it, it's real demoralising!

I'm also thinking of starting a S2K just for modding fun(make into amuse tune look-a-like).... will take pictures when I'm done and post in the Honda Thread.

2 SS ranked cards, 2 B1 with above 80% win percentage, an A3 with 62% and 3 FT cars all f**king gone forever. i dont even wanna know how much money and time i spent on those.

i'm officially done with this game in japan-_-. do NOT have the time and money to start from scratch. maybe when i get back to the states, if the emotional scars have healed. heh crying2.gif

too bad dude the only lesson that learned today is dont play if your committed to see someone but i dont blame you for loosing your belongings. and one more thing after inserting your card to the machine keep your wallet right away to your pocket or bag

thats a big loss =(, if i was in japan i would buy a samurai outfit+sword and go hunt the guy that has your cards ruthlessly since the police are no where to be found (according to anime).

but i doubt this could keep you away from ID... start a new card and stick with it ohmy.gif? R34 or s2k maybe? but depends how long you got left in japan i suppose.

Wats up with the evo IX, has it became the cheapest car now?

Posted by: Phoenix_Cypher_K1 Aug 2 2007, 06:41 AM
I'm guessing because Evo IX is course king of Lake Akina (CCW). And if the Evo IX outstarts the opponent (probably the fastest of all the starts in that course due to home course boost?), the game's over unless the IX driver screws up BAD.

Boost ain't helping you in the English version when all it does is remove the wall penalty.

Possibly the same goes for the GDBF and Lake Akina CW.

(Actually come to think of it, in this course, any car that outstarts the other wins tongue.gif)

hello, all my friend...im back smile.gif ...stop IDAS3 for a very long time, now ver4 come out, so must support a bit...lol

I got a GDBF for my 1st car...donno about it's performance yet

Apparently it's the 2nd worse rated. I love it though.

Posted by: J]-[UN Aug 2 2007, 09:45 PM
A friend of mine made GDBF and after trying it i agree....bad mid gear accel kills it, especially since 90% of the corners in the game require you to PC around the 4th-5th gears. Understeer doesn't help it on iro either sad.gif Other maps the understeer doesn't matter much but on iro its going to be quite a big liability in battles.

My friend has now changed to FC smile.gif

GREAT car. Will have one after i've FT'd my sils and the GDB/AE86T... lol.. So not for a while.

The GDB being so bad makes me wanna eliminate all bad thoughts about it. I drove it very well in Version 3, 4mil points etc. and wanna continue using it.

Had a few TA's tonight, dropped my Akagi dh dry time to 2'45"471, and tried an Irohazaka TA and got 2'58"xxx, that was with understeer + wall rape + penalty cancel all the way, can do way better. Decent day I would say.

lol that wall rape + cancel is probably HOW you got that '58 LOL


Had a half decent day today... Only played about 20 games, 5 of them on Takumi.. I'm so bad at Akina under pressure.. Finally smashed him by like 100 metres.. Just doesn't make sense.. Such a bad run too!

Beat a fair few LOTS again.. I'm on difficulty 4 now..It's really not that much harder.. Got 2 from Akina, 2 from Akagi + myogi and akina lake to go before it's level 5.. Really cbf! Almost at FT though...

I think it's 7 - 7 - 4 - 3 - 3.. Which will be + atleast 5 by tomorrow night.. So almost Full Tune grin2.gif Exciting stuff!

Had one race against Bry tonight, smashed him at Tsukuba obv.. Though I still f**ked up.. shit time.. Like 2'58 or something terrible.. I can't remember what the WR but I wanna get close in the 180 or the sil... Once they are both FT i'll see which one is better..

Posted by: drft Aug 3 2007, 07:59 AM
smashed by 40 meters with more mods huh tongue.gif, what have you got to say about me smashing you on iro dh? and it was a few more than 5 times on takumi buddy wink2.gif

Iro was the day before yesterday, this is.. Post you're DAY. sad.gif

5 times exactly. Unfortunately.

I've finally decided I'm going to play the game. Anyway, I took the records at SM Megamall for Akina dh, Akina uh, Akagi dh, and Akagi UH all with my S2K. I actually also took Tsukuba both directions but since it was my first run in these maps it was broken by my friends whose team is now making a comeback.

All my records (that I remember at least) are 3-4 seconds slower than Retsuka's. (Akina DH: 3'18"xxx, Akagi DH 3'48"xxx) with my 2-0-0-0-0 S2000.

Just wanted to ask Retsuka, Benji or the other people about my times on the current tuning of my car. I can still push the times. I just dont know what I'm pushing towards. In Ver3 I had the advantage of knowing whats fast or not depending on the current tuning status of the car. Anybody?

Posted by: Retsuka Aug 3 2007, 01:16 PM
ah a word of advice to people: DO NOTPLAY VER3 AGAIN!!!!!!

honestly i had 2 games on version 3, ran like 2'47 on happo then dropped it to 2'40... (stock R32) WTF!!? what happened to my 2'24 lol???

then played ver4 and my driving was sooooo messed up i ran like 2'58 on tsukuba... i hate u version3!! fark hope its only short term effect...

damien wolf:

ill be straight up, judging by those times u can still wipe about 4-5 seconds off while driving a stock car. btw i think your akagi is 2'48 not 3'48 lmao. if its 3:48... did u fall asleep on the wheel again? playing drunk maybe lol? tongue.gif

but yea at this stage dont compare any of your times to the WR cos they could all be hacked anyway, *hacked cards= see the thread editor made*

but ya FT does make a huge difference, your never gonna run 2'45 or something on tsukuba with a non FT car.

That happened to me when I played a few games of ID3 then played 2 games of battle gear 3, then came back to ID3, I was slower by around 10 secs each course for a few runs lol.

I got no1 to battle with yesterday.. Everybody only play LOTs.. =S

I finally beaten Kai and the R34 thanks to U2-

On my 1st try, Kai and R34 were just pulling away, but after some chatting session with U2-, i won them effortlessly.. haha

My Akagi DHD timing is 2'49"534, trying to improve now. It would be great if i can hit 45.

and finally, got my C-West GT wing.. My whole Evo IX will be equipped with C-West body kits.. =)
Its getting SEXY!

yeah, i hv cleared all stage but fail to beat bunta, it is too fast...i wish to battle him again...i broke now, my arcade here got MT3 n ID4, yesterday just bought a MT3 card n wasted lots of money...got no enough time to play both game at the same time...my GDB just completed 1st step tuning, donno when can full tune... sad.gif

Posted by: Retsuka Aug 3 2007, 10:00 PM
rofl we are getting loads of noobs completing lots here now, LOTS is childs play.

had 4 battles today OMFG!

and everytime they lost they didnt continue... but before that when they were vsing their mates they continued like 2874382732 times!

anyways, man ID4 is boring... hurry up with the patch already. MT3 for the win now... started a 180sx and have a game here and there, undefeated still xD.

Posted by: Phoenix_Cypher_K1 Aug 3 2007, 11:42 PM
Cleared LotS for the 5th time, now already 3/4 through the 6th biggrin.gif

Bunta still feels easy at least for now. Don't know what he runs at the 6th LotS, but after the fireworks straight I just pulled away FAST. O_o

today i did
3'01'1 iro reverse
2'48 akagi (first time trying since the first day i played)
3'20 akina uh...i got no f**king idea how people in japan run 3'04
and 2'56'6 iro dh
and got 2 new tuning steps on my car

Posted by: ?wha? Aug 4 2007, 05:50 AM
kicked a '18 on akina dh today.... I really don't know how to do it without wallrape cause conventionally speaking it only takes me this far. >.> then I might have bumped my iro time to 3'00 but really, I'm not using wall rape so I guess when I do I might be that much faster....

long way to go sleep.gif

Posted by: Hachi_Roku Aug 4 2007, 01:13 PM
Started up D4 today. Began with an R32 and pulled a 2'52 on Myogi. I battled my brother and lost, still getting used to the physics, especially when the car decides to understeer then the wheel locks...

Posted by: Glocker Aug 5 2007, 12:33 AM
I got paid to finish Tsukuba and Takumi on Akina today for a guy with a black Evo 4. Handles really sweet on Tsukuba Outbound, and it only has step 1 tunes in suspension and intake; hits 149 on the short straight in CP1.

Battled against a friend who was testing stock cars; I tested a stock R32: S2000 vs R32 on Akina DHD and I won by like over 100m+. It doesn't oversteer as much as my Altezza and I was able to hit 3:18:xxx with it; quite surprised.

Then he challenged me back with a stock GC8V and I got pwned...lightly, around 50metres. Decided to fish him back with my modded Altezza but he rammed me at start up and I was sticking to him by the end of CP3 and throughout CP4 but couldn't passed sad.gif .

Black Evo Kid vsed him on Iro DhD and pwned him 150metres. Previously I played with him on Iro as well and he passed me at the jumps sad.gif . Six gear cars sux at the jumps, but I got my revenge soon afterwards and got him 120metres as he reversed himself at the jumps, hehe.

A dude with an RX-8 sat down and took me to Iro DhD as well, and it was a close race, till he passed me right at the jumps again wtf. Got owned by 40m, then I took him to Akina, won by 300metres, mainly because he stopped to watch me take the corners after owning him at fast straightaway left hand corner after the RHOD. Took me then to Tsukuba Outbound, and although he got ahead of me via the corner, I saw +0.2m on the corner right before it; so yea either my start-up technique rocks or my Altezza slays on startup. Passed at the 2nd corner though through gutterfly >_<, then pulled away 150 metres by the end of 3rd CP; he stopped his car just watch me go through the corners. Nice guy gave me a thumbs up for the race. I swear people playing ID4 are alot more friendlier than IDv3 players, even sworn (I think) rivals I played against in IDv3 and ex-IDv3 players.

Lol yeah I was actually on the phone with a friend while my foot steered. wink2.gif

J/K yeah its 2'48 (which is now a 2'47). laugh.gif

I did at least shaved off 2 seconds off my Akina time (now at 3'16). I'm still experimenting on stuff, getting used to the gameplay. Akagi DH poses a much higher challenge to me than UH. 1st CP would probably be the biggest problem. Anyway my target would probably be 2 seconds off my time at first then another 2 more. Or better yet, have your current times as my goals, Retsu! laugh.gif

Posted by: Retsuka Aug 5 2007, 01:36 AM
UH is much more simple than DH

my akagi uh time is slow though... i can shave 1.5 seconds off it now... and will do when i TA again same with akina uh.

but i crash on dh sometimes but can still pull 2'43 with ease.

zomg, truth.

I did a few Bunta Challenges on ver.3. I come back to ver.4 and it's like starting all over again. xD. I was making shifting motions about 10cm above the shifter and steering into inside walls and all the rest of it xDD

After the first (terrible) attempt at beating Joshima, I manage to beat both Purple Shadow guys. Still losing to Takumi though. =P

This reminded me. I passed by an arcade which had just V3. Since I had time (waiting for a movie) I played Akina with my RX-8. After crashing the CP2 2nd turn I actually went and PC'd.

.......

I was like "WTF was I doing".

The timing of the run? 3'05. Some +4 seconds off my past time. sleep.gif

err rofl this confirms PC doesnt work in version 3 so dont expect WR's to be broken by 1-2 seconds like what happened with version 2 lol.

hmm 3'04 is still fast, if u had like 2+ ver3 games and played ver4 right after it you would have downshifted the air a phew times like i did lmao.

*guys are like wtf is this guy doing, the shifter is like 25cm south of his hand* xD.

ok so even though i told myself i wouldnt play again until i go back to america, i decided to stop in after work and try the new ver1.2. dyin to see the differences. but... there was no difference. they only tweaked the online battle system apparantly. but even that had no obvious differences. i can talk about a dozen small things i noticed but thats just a waste of energy. in the end i noticed nothing different nor interesting and was totally inspired to stop giving a crap about this game and save my money.

Posted by: Phoenix_Cypher_K1 Aug 6 2007, 08:37 AM
Full tuned the FD today, while at the same time doing the 7th LotS. I've also started to work on the RX-8, the car having 1-0-0-0-0 now.

Since the FD was FT'd I TA'd Iro DH and Myogi DH...no luck so far.

49"8 for Iro DDH and 36"7 for Myogi DDH.

That's all for me today.

Posted by: MAFD Aug 6 2007, 10:33 AM
Finished my visual customisations for my AE86 so gona start a DC2 today. Will finish maybe first 3 courses of LoTS so I have enough points to buy visual mods for it. I don't see the point in wasting visual mod shop visits on my AE86.

Posted by: Retsuka Aug 6 2007, 12:14 PM
my my, a lot of people battling now, such glorious times.

vs J (all 4)

akina: win, 500m+

akagi: win 350m+

tsukuba: win 250m+

irohazaka: win 600m+

then no one had challenged back, set my akagi uphill time to 2'47'1xx or something and will brake it by about 700 splits next time im in.

Posted by: MAFD Aug 6 2007, 03:58 PM
Met up with SAVIS and Retsuka today, had 3 battles with SAVIS:

Akagi DH dry - win

Tsukuba IB wet - win

Irohazaka DH wet - lose - reversed myself just before the jumps mad.gif

Also made a DC2 today, didn't wana waste visual mod shop visits. Got the Spoon carbon bonnet and Spoon SW388 wheels. Got stage 1 electrical for my AE86 too.

Then watched Retsuka shave more than one second off his Tsukuba OB time.

Posted by: Sil80Drifter Aug 6 2007, 04:23 PM
I finished irohazaka.. i beat Kai with a line i finally figures would work .. after thinking about what INITIALDRULZ said about him taking the outside after the jumps. He took the outside slightly ahead of me, so it drove STRAIGHT on the inside and turned last second and pushed him into the wall as i turned and i got like a 10 meter lead.. and the lead inscreased to like 30 when i beat him. Also.. a bunch of kids were stuck on Myogi Nakazato.. like little kids and they BAGGED me to beat them for him .. and i said no sat first but then i realized they wasted alot of money on him so i said i would do it. after i beat it for 4 people.. some other kids came and asked me to beat akagi for them and i felt so bad for doing it but i did it for them.. some offered me money but i told them no.

Posted by: Retsuka Aug 7 2007, 12:12 AM
hmm... im finding myself disliking this game now:

mucked around with loads of peoples cards today, beat bunta on an rx8, rx7 and evo 4... beat takumi for an rx7.

new TA times: with 7-7-0-0-0 S2000

akagi downhill: 2'42.

irohazaka uphill: 2'59 (improvement from 3'03 ohmy.gif)

tsukuba OB 2'54.

battles=

had a bit, cant remember them all but won the all with no sweat, even gave the opponent start up advantage on the majority of them and still passed and won by a large margin.

so thats 14 wins 0 losses? using the s2000 is boring... gonna stop using this car now. lame in battles, lame everywhere.

Posted by: ?wha? Aug 7 2007, 03:40 AM
horrible day in battles sleep.gif"

mr2 vs 86L iro dhd lose twice

the bastard rammed me into the wall at the start and rammed me into every other wall >.< sonuva....

mr2 vs 86L akina dhd lose

same asshole rammed me into the wall at start and rammed me again at RHOD. I really don't like the penalty given to those who get start rammed


Posted by: Phoenix_Cypher_K1 Aug 7 2007, 05:08 AM
Hm...a mixed day today.

Started off with a battle against a Sil80 in Iro, which I dusted him by ~600m. Then I went and TA'd some courses with my FT FD.

Lake Akina CCW Dry 2'45"8 <-- nothing to say, I have no idea what's the proper line, but I saw my top speed hit 212km/h for a brief moment on the 3rd lap.

Myogi DH Dry 2'36"2 <--- improved by 0'6...still have no real idea how to play this yet...

Akina DH Dry 3'04"4 <--- on the very first try too biggrin.gif I think CP2 could use some work..

Iro DH Dry (after countless reverses) 2'49"8 <-- didnt break my current record which is ALSO 49"8. When I get a good CP1 and 2, I screw up the last 2. When I screw up CP1 and CP2, I somehow get fast CP3 and CP4. And all the screwups come from getting reversed...after reverse, after reverse =_=. Both 49"8s (on record, and the one done today) are done with all so-so CPs.

Tsukuba OB Dry 2'50"3 <--- I'm gonna try pushing this to 49 soon enough...

Tsukuba IB Dry 2'51"8 <--- I have no idea how to play this....

And then I TA'd Iro DH Dry with my S2K (stock) and I got 2'51"9. I really feel as if the FD hates me on Iro sad.gif

I'm also 3 games away from completing the 7th LotS. tongue.gif Maybe tomorrow I'll get around to finishing it.

EDIT: Oh, yeah I've also tuned the engine on the RX-8 to Step 7.

Posted by: MAFD Aug 7 2007, 03:01 PM
Had quite a few battles today. Used my DC2 because I wanted to get visual mods.

DC2 vs SW20 Akina DH wet - win

DC2 vs SW20 Tsukuba IB wet - win

DC2 vs FD3S Tsukuba OB wet - win

DC2 vs FD3S Tsukuba OB dry - win

DC2 vs FD3S Irohazaka DH dry - win - Suprisingly the DC2 feels better than my AE86 at Iro dh. Got 2'57'7xx with stock performance DC2.

AE86T vs AE86T Tsukuba OB dry - win

And a few other battles I can't remember, got stage 2 suspension for the AE86. DC2 is gona stay stock performance wise for now until I FT the AE86.

Posted by: kenshizan Aug 7 2007, 11:13 PM
i played lots 6x vs akina final opponent Tak (Takumi)..lose sad.gif
got 1 hair change 1 step 3 engine upgrade and 1 body upgarde which i skiped..

thanks for hearing my frus and good luck to the rest of you all

lost to a new guy on myogi - maybe a lack of focus
won on akagi up and down
helped him on how to take corners properly
its was ok day

Posted by: Phoenix_Cypher_K1 Aug 8 2007, 07:26 AM
Cleared LotS x8 now. Now going through the 9th round. Bunta is starting to be a bit of a problem, and Takumi in Tsukuba is O_O in CP2.

TA wise I did 49"6 on Iro DDH with the FD. Thats about it actually, didn't really play much TA today.

Posted by: kct Aug 8 2007, 07:48 AM
Managed to get the IX up to 5-3-3-2-2. Feels even quicker now.

Played some rounds with the Skyline, lack of a nice carbon hood disappointed me (since I wanted to go for the Border Racing demo car look). Probably will throw in a set of bronze Volk Racing CE28Ns and Mine's carbon hood once I start tuning the Skyline (won't happen till the IX is FT), to mirror my WMMT3 Skyline.

redemption today battlewise

mr2 vs rx8 akina lake ccwd lose.... brain snap? nah just hit the start button accidently >.>

MR2 vs RX8 iro dhd win

much better. incidently I got start without ramming. 3rd gear pwnz0r biggrin.gif

MR2 vs Rx8 tsukuba obd WIN

somehow I got start, blockedhim until the start of CP3 and got fked at the roller bit. So i got left in the dust, then pure initial d style... I jumped the gutter on 3rd last turn, he understeered and I slipped through.

MR2 vs GDBF iro dhd win BOOST

I had start, and never troubled by more than 20m.

MR2 vs GDBF myogi dhd win! BOOST, no boost WIN

the first one was a test of how to abuse boost. let him lead into CP4 and took him at 3rd last corner, then the second time without boost beat him by abt 150m. incidently ran about a 2'43 on a 3-2-2-2-0

Played some RX-8 yesterday (had class and was passing by). Did 2'50"7 on Iro on it. (not saved coz my FD time is on it).

Still I like the feel of the RX-8. It now replaces my FD as my main car tongue.gif

Posted by: MAFD Aug 9 2007, 05:34 PM
Met up with Retsuka today and just had a few games. Got stage 3 suspension on AE86, and got 3'05'7xx with it on Irohazaka rev dry.

my what a rather boring day:

saw that mr2 guy u were talking about before mafd.

vs mr2 irohazaka dh dry night boost off: 300m+ win.

vs mr2 akina dh dry day boost on: 120m+ win.

vs HAX (sxe10) akina dh dry day boost off: 300m+ win.

beat X3bunta with a stock s15 for my mate... then he scrapped the s15 and bought a miata like i told him to... beat x3tsukuba-takumi with a stock miata..

its a good car imo.

Good day today.

Started off by TAing in Myogi UH Dry in my RX-8, got something like a 38"0.

Then I went to TA Iro DH Dry in my FD, within 4 games, I improved my time to 49"6 to 47"605. I'm still experimenting with the course.

Next, I TA'd Iro RV Dry with my RX-8, got 2'58. No idea how to play this yet.

Then it was card renewal time. Went rather smoothly thankfully smile.gif

Spent rest of my tokens on LotS. That's all for today.

Yea, Retsuka, Miata is indeed a good car. My friend bought one and I saw him play, it handles well and accelerates well. He got something like a 35"7 on Myogi DH with 7-5-0-0-0 if I'm not mistaken.

My first post here since starting ID4... oh well.

Still can't battle, but machine #2 is finally being repaired... I plan to go early tomorrow and check if it's totally fixed so I can milk the extra points off the TA defaults.

Beat Ryosuke & Takumi in LOTS to clear Akina, then proceeded to beat Seiji and Kyoichi at Irohazaka afterwards. Lost to Kai, as I have absolutely no clue on how to tackle the jumps without losing too much speed. Tried battling Daiki but lost miserably, as I'm still a bit green in Tsukuba.

TA'd Myogi a couple of times, I hit the snag in a few corners but I still made the 2'50'xxx mark.

2 tunes were committed, Step-3 for Intake/Exhaust, and a roof accessory for the GDBF. GC8 is still stock.

FINALLY GOT A NEW AVATAR TOP!! Grey shirt with flowers. Doesn't look like much but it's a start. I've officially rid myself the default look. Yay! ^o^

That guy is fun to battle with, even though he has no chance of winning he still battles you, and when he says he doesn't wana continue just be all like lets go here because my car is so crap on the course and he will, and still loose. Did AZFDIK really get a miata lol? He sounded like he really didn't want it.

This was a great ID4 day for me. laugh.gif

This was my second time playing and last time when I played, I had trouble with Nakazato (R32 GT-R guy on Myogi) but after reading cornering techniques on idforums, I was able to beat him easily (I know it's nothing to be proud of but still)

Anyway, I was going to race my friend but it matched me up with some guy instead. I new i was doomed because I've never battled before and was only playing ID4 for the second time:

My FD3S vs the guy's S15 - Myogi DH Dry...I actually beat him. (YES!)

Then his pro friend sat down to race me. With my almost stock FD and his extensively tuned S15, i was really worried. He took me to Akina Lake:

FD(me) vs S15(him) - Akina Lake ??? Dry...I win!

Because my friends watching were making such a big fuss about me beating him even though I told them it was sheer luck, they wouldn't shut up so the guy decided to put me in my place:

FD vs S15 - Irohazaka DH Dry...I was owned. sad.gif

I had no idea how to run Iro at all. Nothing like IDv3 at all.

My cousin was the one who played yesterday, but his progress is practically mine too, since we share the card.

~Current Tuning Stat of the GDBF: 7-6-4-2-6

~Rivals Left: God Hand, then Project D.

~Best personal record: Tsukuba IB 3'07'xxx (He beat my 3'09 record... T.T)

The license was finally renewed, and we're both thanking our lucky stars that no errors came about. Both machines are fixed now, but they aren't linked, so no in-store battles just yet.

Posted by: Mr. Shine Aug 12 2007, 01:06 AM
Made a new card today and even put a bit of humour into the name. I decided to select a red MR2 with the card name "Aka chan" in hiragana. The humour in there is that while 'aka chan' means 'baby' (suitable for the female character I selected) the Japanese kanji character for 'aka' also means red. I figure all the cars on the card will be red.

Didn't do very much with it today however, just cleared Shingo and Nakazato on Myougi to get my first performance upgrade. Engine upgrade step 1 - hooray!

Posted by: crow Aug 12 2007, 06:45 AM
great day today!

we played in our local arcade (worlds of fun megamall)

just TAed 2 times in iro..

i used master WOLF's S2000

i got 2"53 on the 2nd try

wiiii so happy!!!

my cappa is still 7-2-0-0-0

so nothing really new for me today! smile.gif

peace out bros!

Posted by: icedagger Aug 12 2007, 08:32 AM
Played at G4 earlier.

Finished all of LotS except for Takumi, who should be a snap next time around. Finally getting the hang of things, but I wish they'd turn up the volume of the machines there, you can barely hear the music+sfx over casual conversation. It gets really distracting when people beside you keep chatting about something else, and knocking on the back of your chair.

Putting on earphones didn't do much good either, I could still hear what they were talking about anyway... (Or maybe I'm just prone to distractions. laugh.gif)

I need a little help assessing my times. Of course I cant compare it to the WR but I need to know if its decent enough. I can still push them, I just want to know if Im heading in the right direction...

Akina Lake both directions: 2'48 low
Myogi DH: 2'39 high
Myogi UH: 2'40 low
Akagi DH: 2'39 high
Akagi UH: 2'48 low
Akina DH: 3'09 low
Akina UH: 3'16 low
Irohazaka DH: 2'54
Tsukuba OB: 2'52 mid
Tsukuba IB: 2'59 low (hate this map, lol)

All my wet times are done with just one run each and are 3-4 seconds slower than my dry times.

These are all using my S2000 7-7-6-0-7

Thanks in advance!

You can definitely push the akagi uphill time from the looks of your downhill time.
You have the same downhill time as me but for uphill i get 2:43:538. I find for the uphill the last quarter of the map pretty hard to keep consistent so maybe thats an area you can improve upon.

For Tsukuba Inbound, i'm guessing you hate it is cos of the first half of the map. I'm scoring equal times for my Tsukuba IB and OB times

Posted by: kyochel Aug 12 2007, 10:48 PM
last wednesday I played... I thought you could switch from manual to automatic...I ended up making another car. The new Impreza...

I beat Nakazato (Finally!) and Kenta, Kyle (Kyouichi) (can't spell his jap name) and Ry (Ryousuke)...Strange though...i coudn't beat KT..so I had my brother do it for me...

The game is so expensive...I could't conquer the oither area's...I only finished Myogi and Akagi...I figured lake Akina just might waste my money... whistling.gif

I got pissed with the Counter steer...its really annoying... blink.gif
Also..It really sucks when there are only two chairs and the other chair is being used by a group of 5 guys who won't let anyone else play!

...compared to version 3...my time has probably gone down by...4-5 seconds at least... ermm2.gif

_KYOKO_ANN_

P.S. Would anyone know if you can make your manual car automatic? happy.gif

Posted by: icedagger Aug 12 2007, 11:02 PM
Yes you can. Just keep selecting no when it asks if you want to continue (so you use up plays faster).

Eventually it'll give you the option to switch from manual to automatic or vice versa.

Right. Thanks for the input. I actually thought I mastered Akagi UH first before the DH. Guess I was wrong, lol.

I messed up too. I took another look my time was 2'46, still 3 seconds short of it being decent as you say compared to my DH times.

For Tsukuba IB, I just took two runs and didnt bother again. Its just that I could not memorize the lock points that the S2K has on the map. Its almost like... it actually varies... lol! Anyway for the OB, I already memorized the map, guess I just have to memorize IB too soon.

Is my Akina DH and UH time ok?

for myogi, we have the almost the same time but based from your tsukuba OB, you can still lessen your IB time by about 5 secs..

i cant seem to go past 2'56 on Tsukuba OB.. maybe its my 147kmh 4th gear.. i dunno..
i really need to see you drive.. hehe..

same thing with wet..

dont ask my akina times because i suck at akina..

OMG. Is that thing written on your sig correct?? You already have an FT GC8?? So its not just the TOFUS who have FT cars now huh! lol!

Anyway, why not give akina UH a shot. Your car IS the course car for that map. Tsukuba yeah you should be actually faster than me based on your tuning, I have a bit of an edge too though because the s2k is supposed to be the course car for Tsukuba OB. Thats why I cant wait to get FT'd. Im a 2'55 with a non FT'd Trueno too. Im taking guesses on either the line or some turns in the rollercoaster part where you probably lose some time.

Pass by mega some time! We can have some friendly battles while you're at it. happy.gif

Posted by: Phoenix_Cypher_K1 Aug 13 2007, 06:48 AM
Managed to clear LotS for the 8th, 9th and 10th cycles. And apparently the 11th cycle is (and unlocks) the 10th difficulty on the options screen, so I'm not..errr...quite done.

Bunta runs 3'05 for the last difficulty. Beat him 80+m with a 3'03"6. It wasn't all that hard, he did close up the 90m gap I had at the 4 consecs and the start of CP4 to bump right behind me before the start of the long straight in CP4 but once we were on it, I pulled away, and by the time I hit the last right hander I barely saw him on my rear view tongue.gif

Never tried the rest of LotS difficulty 10 since the arcade was closing.

Also by the LotS games I tuned my RX-8 to 7-7-7-2-0.

yeah, i am perfectly sure that i am making those times bec of the tuning of my car and not because of my skills as a driver.. and me, i dont' have any team..

and i just completed the FT a while ago.. aside from me, the only other people i know who have FT cars are Jules(White? EK9) and Tessa (Yellow FD3S that looks like Keisuke's car).. i don't know what team they are but one of their buddies run a 3'09"xxx Akina DDH using a 7-2-2-4-2 AE86..

i know that i will lose to you but i dont mind if that will be the way for me to learn.. hehe.. so i hope we battle soon..

My day was rather interesting...

Finally FTed my GDBF. The bodywork and and suspension parts were the last tunes on the list, so they were dealt with accordingly. In between ejects, I tried to beat God Hand, which was the last man standing in my way to meet Project D... only managed to outrun him when I got the body tune up to Step 4, and followed his lead on the gutter lines.

Did a few Time Attacks as well, beating cuz's Tsukuba IB record by 5 seconds: 3'01'xxx to be precise. I also made a new time for Irohazaka Reverse Wet, but I forgot.. better check the card data later.

Beat Keisuke after a few rather lackluster attempts, since I slow down before CP2 because of the corner that keeps clipping my car's backside *grumble*. All that's left now is Takumi and *gasp* Bunta...

Next time I play, I'd better TA the GC8 first since I'm due for another mechanical tuning after 1 eject. Since the GDBF doesn't need it anymore, might as well have the secondary car reap the benefits.

Its interesting that we havent met yet, Momo. I did meet your cousin, I thought he was you. pinch2.gif When are you coming to mega? Me and my group play at WoF. You and your cuz at TZ. We're just a few steps away, hehe.

Posted by: xyeohts Aug 13 2007, 08:04 AM
Today, I just ran 3 rounds in Iro against Kai.. The first attempt was horrible.. Was really beaten flat.. The second i lost out close enough.. But lost out at the final corner before the straight.. Was neck and neck till i forgot to PC out of the corner..

On the third try.. I did jumping every corner.. Beating him at one point (almost) then at the final corner once again we were neck and neck.. I pc-ed but some how he seem to have more power.. Some how.. and i lost again.. He was on the outside wall when i hit him.. but he pulled out fast..

Another try tomorrow.. Tell u guys about it if i win..

I only go on weekdays after school (when I have the coinage to spare). And even then, I don't play too long, since it's kinda hard to ride the MRT around 7:00 in the evening. Plus, I'm always in charge of dinner in our house.

Cuz does most of the dirty work in the card on weekends, and he plans to shift to WOF North Edsa now since it's closer to his house. fear2.gif

Good luck! lol

The TOFU guys have the machine from OPENING to CLOSING at SM North. BOTH machines. I promise. Mega WoF is the only place really good to tune. The only people "hogging" the machine are me and my students on one machine and Team TO!NK on the other and we all give way to people.

Ah well, he has his ways... My cuz has always been a good negotiator, that's why he does the weekend rounds...

He's going there tomorrow too (day off), so I'll file the report on his day later.

Had a good day today. Ran some battles with my friend in my RX-8 (not in order):

RX-8 vs RX-8 Iro DH Dry Boost OFF win <--- passed him at the jumps and ran away.

RX-8 vs RX-8 Myogi DH Dry lost <--- got cut in CP4.

RX-8 vs RX-8 Akina DH Wet lost <--- Lost at the 4 consecs, couldnt cut back even with the boost.

RX-8 vs RX-8 Akina DH Dry win <---This time I managed to cut back at the long straight in CP4.

RX-8 vs RX-8 Iro RV Wet lost <--- got myself stuck on the last turn. Game over.

RX-8 vs RX-8 Lake Akina CCW Dry lost <--- Switched leads several times, but lost anyways.

RX-8 vs RX-8 Myogi UH Dry Boost OFF win <--- Got hit into the wall at start, he pulled away as far as 60m, but caught up at CP2 and passed him as he understeered out.

RX-8 vs RX-8 Akagi UH Dry win <--- passed him at the long LONG straight before finish line tongue.gif

Then ran a lot of TAs for the day:

2'45"7 Lake Akina CCW Dry FD <--- I mis-selected this and ran it anyway. Improved 0.1 sleep.gif
2'33"8 Myogi DH Dry FD <--- Hit the wall in CP3 T_T
2'35"8 Myogi UH Dry FD <--- first try, didn't give it much thought after that.
2'38"3 Akagi DH Dry FD <--- just trying smile.gif
2'38"3 Akagi DH Dry RX-8 <--- It's probably just me but I found the RX-8 handles better than the FD pinch2.gif
3'05"4 Akina DH Dry RX-8 <--- My CP3 is so... T_T
2'49"4 Iro DH Dry RX-8 <--- Could do better here.
2'50"5 Iro DH Wet RX-8 <--- Still stumped about the jumps here >_<
2'56"2 Iro RV Dry FD <--- I have seriously NO idea how to play this T_T

And also I've cleared LotS x11.

With all those games my RX-8 is now 3 steps away from FT tongue.gif

Posted by: MomoChan Aug 14 2007, 11:44 PM
Yay, somebody posted! Now I can put in cuz's report...

Beat Takumi, lost to Bunta. No biggie, LOTS got cleared, finally...

... and then cleared it 2 times more.

wated a bit of time before I went home:

MR2 vs FD iro dhd lose twice

GODDAMN THE START SYSTEM!!!!! both times lost because he got me on start. not just got start, rammed me into the wall. I don't get how I was 0.5m in front and gaining, then BAM! speed drops 10 ks and he shoots off. WTF!?

MR2 vs evo IX iro dhd win

at least a win to keep my win/loss on the right side of 50 >.<

then cleared off hoshino and joshima before realising that I'll be broke for this week if I didn't stop playing T_T

Had a few more races on LotS today - got a couple of upgrades!

Picked up the East Bear Sports mirrors and got Engine upgrades up to 3.

Cleared LotS up to Takumi but couldn't quite beat him in the two attempts I made. I was right on his ass at the very end for both races >_<

Posted by: ChaosAngel Aug 15 2007, 02:04 AM

well, I tried cutting him off when I saw the adv go to bout .5, by edging him, but it stumps me how if a car is that much in front, how it can be overtaken if both cars accel the same, and one's already got his nose in front of the other car.... grrrr

Few days ago did like 15 boost off battles and only lost twice. Woohoo.

Posted by: PhantomaZero Aug 15 2007, 07:53 PM
GOD. I went to Japan Arcade in Little Tokyo to play me some Version 4 for the first time. I waited like ten minutes for my turn, no big deal really. Then I put in coins for the card, and I get an "Error 403, unable to distribute card. Call the arcade attendant." The attendant gives me my 28 coins back and resets the machine, but I had to leave before he was done. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: toookoooldrew118 Aug 15 2007, 08:24 PM
wow that sucks. was it crowded? o and if u go back there try to use the machine to the right instead of the left one. the left one has been getting some weird errors for some reason.

Posted by: Mr. Shine Aug 15 2007, 08:32 PM
Had my 3 races for my upgrade today. Cleared Irohazaka with no worries and got my MR2 to 3-0-1-0-0.

Didn't try to beat Takumi on Akina again, though sad.gif

Posted by: toookoooldrew118 Aug 15 2007, 08:38 PM
i went today beat everyone except godhand, godfoot, and takumi on akina. does anyone have any tips on how to beat takumi.

Posted by: Mr. Shine Aug 15 2007, 11:06 PM
What I've noticed is that you absolutely must run the last section ahead of him and run it well. He really burns up on you in the final straights which is stupidly annoying - he always finishes with me right on his bumper.

Posted by: MomoChan Aug 16 2007, 04:11 AM
Played a bit of LOTS to tune the GC8V. finished Tsukuba and Lake Akina, also beat the stuffing out of Kai.

Still no avatar changes. Finally got offered lips in the slot, but it was "thick lips talking" so I didn't take it.

GC8V is now perfect 1 in all aspects.

how tuned is your car anyways??
and i m still not used to akagi yet...so hard to not crash...akina is alright for me...

mmm the majority of us were far more capable than that, i remember i ran 2'55 on my first try then 3'01 on reverse.

anyways.

played ONE WHOLE battle on IDAS4 and gave the guy a 400m lead and still beat him by 300m....

16 wins 0 losses, i think i can safely say this game is rubbish, tired of it.

we got ver1.2 now... guess what, only fixes TWO bugs LOLOLOL!!!!!

piece of trash.

anyways wangan wise.

transfered my evo3 to MT3, 820hp goodness... but i cant drive it like i could so i went back to version 2 and started a S30... already shaded thanks to a very inconsistant accelerator pedal, started losing km on starights and i was like OMFG WTF!!!

anyways, not that it matters much i just wont get the tachometer... crying2.gif
will tune my S30 a bit more today, and can safely say, im off ID4.

Cleared the first two of Tsukuba and tried Takumi on Akina again, but failed to beat him. Browsed bodykits but the time ran out so I didn't choose, though I'll be going with the C-West kit for my SW20 biggrin.gif

Posted by: Mr. Shine Aug 18 2007, 12:27 AM
3 more races in my last break. I decided I would try Time Attack on Akina to try and build up my ability there. I was fairly happy as it was my first time on Time Attack in Arcade Stage 4. Times were:

First run - 3'25"xxx
Second run - 3'20"xxx
Third run - 3'20"xxx

I swear the final run should have been 3'15" because I was 2 seconds faster than my previous run by CP2 but as it always happens, I screwed up and lost as much time as I had gained.

On the plus side however, I did get performance tuning, so the car now sits at:

3-1-1-0-0

Posted by: BDDEE@ Aug 18 2007, 02:14 AM
today i get my gc8 to 5-6-3-2-2
i then get 2'42 akagi dh
then 1 go 2'57'2 irohazaka reverse
and 3'11 akina dh .. gots no idea howto do cp2 and start of cp4

Posted by: ?wha? Aug 18 2007, 02:24 AM
MR2 hit 4-2-2-2-3, and topped out a '58 on iro (no wallrape.... yet) and a '44 on myogi wet dh. This would've easily been 40 if on two turns I hadn't let go of the accel during understeer, sending me into the inside >.<

then battles....

MR2 vs S2K iro dhd win!

I got start fair'n square, then proceed to run a '56 in battle. how the hell do you wallrape??? I've reversed myself quite a few times doing it!

MR2 vs FD akina dhd win!

geez. rammed at start, then proceeded to tail him all the way to the consecs, where I took the lead, then lost it the very next turn >.< Then a miracle pass right at the end of fireworks biggrin.gif

MR2 vs S2K akina uhd lose

he had start, a vastly better knowledge of the uphill and a way more tuned car. at least I only lost by 100m

today is the FIRST time i ever saw and played a ver.4 machine . before it launch , i was like im not gonna play this game coz i watched some v4 vid and i dont really like the physics . BUT , today went to a team meeting and i bought a card .. started playing and i LOVE IT !! xD .

btw i bought an r32 ^^ . 0-1-1-0-0 ^^

Posted by: Retsuka Aug 18 2007, 04:40 AM
had a battle agaisnt this pr0 s2000 guy today... i thought some of our drivers were improving but fark no, his car was just tuned heaps =.=.

s2k vs s2k: akina 320m+ win.

s2k vs s2k: irohazaka 120+m win.

i can gladly say that shitty ID4 is $2 start $2 continue now at all centres around town except yifans (they have yet to lower their price, probably will have by tomorow)
everywhere has 1.2 also.

hmm my s2k is still undefeated and im vsing opponents with like 15 more steps than myn... guess ill fully retire ID4 when i lose my first race ohmy.gif

wangan wise:

tuned my s30 a bit more... up to stage 28 now and got 640hp.

btw does anyone know if there are any wangan forums? or are they all sub forums in initial d forums like this one >.>"

Posted by: kyochel Aug 18 2007, 11:23 PM
uh..I played again..yesterday actually...

I conquered lake Akina...

Well...It was a pretty okay day for me...I beat Iketani, Kyoko, Wataru and Ryosuke consecutively... (no loss! yay happy.gif )


Then...came Tak (Takumi)...I was left bedhind by about 150+ meters!!! I couldn't understand why???! I was doing pretty well with all the others...(Sighs). I tried him twice...I still lost...

why can't i beat him? unsure.gif He's like Bunta...

Had another 6 races today. Bought the Border Racing "Cling Flap" which I've only ever found listed elsewhere as a sun guard (which it doesn't look like much of. Regardless, I'm not sure if I'll keep it or not as the look doesn't quite sit with me at the moment.

I also picked up another suspension upgrade and knocked my Akina Downhill time to 3'19"2xx

All right, here are my new S2K times. Full tuned, this is not what happened just this day but on a number of days... since we dont have a "what do you think of this time?" thread, I just wanted to post these and ask those who have been playing long (or at least longer than me) how these times are. These are now my current times.

Akina lake both directions: 2'47 middish
Myogi DH: 2'36 mid
Myogi UH: 2'37 mid
Akagi DH: 2'38 mid
Akagi UH: 2'44 mid
Akina DH: 3'07 flat
Akina UH: 3'12 mid
Akina UH: 3'11 low (GC8V)
Iro DH: 2'49 high
Tsukuba OB: 2'49 low
Tsukuba IB: 2'52

All of this (except that one Akina UH) is with my Fully tuned S2000. My wet times are now 1-2 seconds slower than my dry times. I can still see red on all my runs except Tsukuba OB where I'm really having a hard time trying to beat that .100 for the 48. What you guys think? As usual, Retsuka, your input is one of those I need here.

46"9 iro with my 7-7-7-4-4 86

Finally beat Takumi on Tusukuba.

Battled a friend after winning Takumi race. Then some guy TRIED and i seriouslly mean't TRIED to fish me on his 86 on Akina Down hill in my RX-8.

I know and I do realized I did that. Not that because the fact Tsukuba is S2000 homecourse but its my fave track. Hope that clears something up.

Posted by: Alv Aug 20 2007, 07:05 AM
sometimes boost off u cant get much practice since after ramming someone at the wall u'll be leading and game over if u're againts a decent player. what happens if u happen to meet a player who likes all maps and dun have a fav. to ur expectation, do he/OR HER have to boost off as well?

Posted by: hahariz Aug 20 2007, 07:10 AM
Umm no. My thought actually, if you played a boost off battle at your chosen track, the opponent lost, and challenged back and challenge for a boost off, it would be nice to comply.

Im sorry I didnt mean it directly at you, it just something that happened to players at Mines too, even since V3.

If possible lets there be no misunderstanding between us. Coz I can see where this will lead. :\

Posted by: MIEVO Aug 20 2007, 07:10 AM
me also..my fav track is Tsu IBD..
what about me?? at their track they want to play boost off..but at my track after their win..they dont want to boost off at my track??

Posted by: Alv Aug 20 2007, 07:28 AM
no offense but I think it's a free world, and it can be ur choice to boost off/on as well.

a little off topic: but if u guys played dota, bd is also not againts the rule, but ppl say it's not gentlement, but let's say in WCG finals, it's consider as a strategy to win as well, will u not use it?

back to the thing I was saying, its exactly the same in v3, lets just say u're driving a rx8 and opponent is a evo4 akina snow uphill and it's his line. will u boost off? if you'll, u should be crown by the king. w00t2.gif

Posted by: hahariz Aug 20 2007, 07:33 AM
If you ask me, yes. I dunno why maybe because I was influenced by WLP style back in V3, though I only fought him a few times. Hes my hero (corny I know).

Oh well, let put it behind us, ya?

sharing a trueno with a friend now, spend farkin ages tuning the beast today.

was like 7-6-3-1-3 to begin with... and after quite some time sitting there and finishing LOTS it ended up at 7-7-7-1-6.

LOTS cleard X5 and will be X6 shortly...

TA= ran 3'10'050... sooo disapointed in that run lol... big crash at the gutters but it was looking close to a 3'07 =(, maybe nxt time... but beat my own S2000 time with a card under another name so RETSU S2K is in 2nd place on that machine... makes me look so noob =(.

wangan wise:

played up to stage 41 now with my s30... another 40 stages to go before i transfer over xD

~GC8V tuned 1 step each (one extra for suspension), currently at 2-2-3-2-2

~Wolf TA'd Akina Lake clockwise and broke the existing personal record.(which was mine T.T), placed 3rd at machine record in WOF NE.

~25 plays left before renewal. We're gonna be having our second expired card soon. ^o^

Watch someone fished someone but his plan got backfired

Finally I no longer need to eject card everytime I finish playing a game... grin2.gif
But no one wants to battle me... crying2.gif

And my Iroh... I wasted 20 bucks for the map alone... and all the timings ended up at a constant 2'52"2xx to 2'52"6xx crying2.gif

Posted by: J]-[UN Aug 21 2007, 08:19 AM
If ur stuck on Iro, try turning earlier.

If it doesnt help, start to do PC before the tight corners.

Dont forget you need to PC iro cp1 2nd turn , cp3 2nd turn and last corner on cp4 quite late to get the accel back smile.gif

Posted by: Mo-Nercy Aug 21 2007, 04:47 PM
I beat LotS for the first time the other day. I spent most of yesterday working through my 2nd time through.

Even though the difficulty has gone a notch up to 1 from 0, I feel that it's a lot easier. Probably just because I'm much more familiar with the game now.

I was leading Kai by about 80m two turns before the teahouse and accidently reversed myself whistling.gif My old workmate towards the end of the battle, in which I was losing by about 120m and challenges me with his DC2.

He took me to Akagi DHD and he smoked me by about a hungy.

But I pwned him on Akina DHD after by about a hungy-twenty.

Tsukuba OBD. Closed him in CP4 from 40m to ramming his ass. Couldn't get past him though. On the plus side, I was able to get the sweatdrop for my avatar. sweatingbullets.gif

He actually had a second and third car, an S2000 and an FC, but he said they were shit. shifty2.gif

I'm sitting at 3-3-3-3-2. I am looking to step up from Evo4 to maybe an S2000 of my own. But I'm still gonna stick with it until FT. My girlfriends drive is an S2000 anyway and I tend to use her card more than she does anyway, so no rush happy.gif

In that case, yes, I would backdoor. In WCG finals, I'm sure there wouldn't be an argument over it since rules are rules. But I've seen plenty of lesser tourneys where clans have backdoored and gotton into heated arguments over it.. ALWAYS because there's people who just don't read the rules and assume backdoor is banned.

The difference between boost on/off and backdoor is that boost on/off is decided before the game whereas backdoor just happens and it's the sudden shock of being backdoored that makes people angry. So with ID, if boost is left on and you really didn't want it to be on, at least you know what's in store for you.

That was really off topic. unsure.gif

Met Shfta today... we're both noob (me moreso than him tongue.gif) and some stuff

myogi dhw 2'44 => 2'42

Damn last section... always stuffing the 1st major corner of CP4, and when I'm seeing -1'XX on a '42 it seems to be looking good sleep.gif

its the same story with akina. my CP1 or CP4... either one is screwing my whole run. Take the best run I've ever done and it'll be easy 3'12 - 3'10 >.<

Then some battles

MR2 vs FD iro dhd win

ran faster here than I have ever in TA..... I feel so jipped. At least I found the perfect start sequence for an MR2 on iro (IMO)

MR2 vs EvoIX iro dhd win

got start surprisingly. at least the two guys didn't go and ram me at start, so a clean fought start dash smile.gif

Posted by: shfta Aug 22 2007, 03:24 AM
lol... nah..i am more noob...at least you can play myogi..i can't...lol and lucky you got two battles...i only got one...>.<

S2000 vs FD tsukuba ob...the guy try to ram me at the start but failed...lol...then i won by 200m...

akagi dh 2.41.1...can get a 39 or 40 if i can take the V-turn properly...anyone one got any advice on it...i tried wall rape...but didn't work that well...

then made a white e3...and wasted one of my engine customisation shops on the e3...when i wanted to use it on my s2000...

At last, FT my 86....
but my friend can get 3.11 in akina dh, but i'm only 3.15.... sad.gif
still confuse with all my mistakes....

i've modify my 86 with cool parts... but... should i change to original type?

Posted by: Pen^2 Aug 22 2007, 11:49 PM
After a long long long absence, I was tempted to play IDAS4 again and shortly got addicted again just like v2 and 3 (thanks to someone... dry.gif ).
Well, v4 is a lot different and still need a lot learn, a lot to catch up.
Currently using minimally tune GC8, my fav buntamobile since v2, too bad I didn't know about the 'no continue' method when starting this game, so my tune is still low.
Borrowed an FT 86 and tried to run on Akina dhd but only got 3'11, I'm confuse aswell, can't find any room for improvement sad.gif

Hmm... to lazy to change my old avatar & siggy, maybe later.

Cuz's report:

~Cleard LOTS 2 times, bringing the grand total to 6. Card renewed okay, still no changes with the avatar.

~GC8V got +1 tunes in all aspects, is now currently at 3-3-3-3-4. We're getting close!

~3 WOF tokens left over(wish I could play... T.T).

Posted by: cell Aug 23 2007, 01:15 AM
the car n aura look pretty poor compare to MT2, but the new MT3 soundtrack n some new features is nice...worth to play too...this is just the 3rd version of MT, cant compare to IDAS4 grin2.gif

lmao? MT3 owns ID4 hands down, so much ive quit ID4 now just to play MT3 seriously.

ID4= all graphics and no substance.
MT3= best substance but not elite graphics.

if your one of those people that only play a game for graphics be my guest but dont go around saying MT3 cant compare to ID4, ill say this as someone who is probably a much more dominant driver than you in both initial d and wangan.

id4 doesnt compare to mt3. they are on different levels.

Opinion noted.

But please don't forget that this forum focuses more on ID4 than WMMT3.

Moreover, this thread is for talking about our day-to-day experiences with the former. So please don't muck it up for those of us who chose to stick with it.

I never really liked wangan.... but i was kinda decent in WMMT1 and 2 , 2'53 C1 ib if I remember correctly and a few others...

I mean it was fun but after the first 30mins or so I end up getting bored :S

Lol.. I tried it also.. but at lvl 7... biggrin.gif
I can't even block him since the beginning..


Posted by: Retsuka Aug 25 2007, 01:44 AM
lvl 6 takumi is simple as... i beat him in a stock na6c. anyways lvl 6 keisuke is what u should be worrying about, hes much harder than takumi.

FT'd the 86 today...

walked in and saw some guy with an evo 9 beat my 3'10 with the 86 and he ran a 3'08... so i played akina a bit and pulled 3'06'9xx... which is a 3 second improvement in 30 minutes... then i tried again and was 1.5 seconds on my CP3 but i crash the gay RHOD and LHOD and pulled a shit time of 3'07'0xx.

theory is 3'01 since i dont even know how to drive akina.

its official i farking hate ID4, such a noobs game.

wangan wise... too much happened GeeGee's

Posted by: jiahao1001 Aug 25 2007, 01:51 AM
Oh well lets see.... played dota in the morning and grabbed my shoes and ran down to the mall at around 12 afternoon in the sweltering heat..... damn evo Xes looks fugly......

So lets see decided to fire up my RX 8 today....

- Deafeated takumi on my fifth try.... Yay.... rx-8 butts keep swinging out instead of sticking into inner lanes.....

- ran a 2 41 8xxx with rx 8..... Myogi is always boring if u always makes critical mistakes at the front...

- ran a low 2 49 xxx with rx 8 today without wall rape in irohazaka ... good... and i was about to quit trying to push my rx8 times....

- changed my rear spoiler to a c-west carbon wing xP

Thads all peeps...... xP

Posted by: BDDEE@ Aug 25 2007, 02:41 AM
you ran 2'49 irohazaka without wallrape? and your rx8 is only 4-4-3-2-2
sorry i find that hard to beleive

Beaten by Lv2 Ryousuke at Wet Akina with a stock Altezza. Stupid tailslide. <___<

Posted by: ?wha? Aug 25 2007, 04:10 AM
today was by far interesting... cleared LotS for the first time, without losing biggrin.gif and upgraded suspension and ECU. Then battles

MR2 vs S2K myogi dhw win

OK Is this a fish?? not too sure, cause I find iro a really b*tch place to pass a car esp a 6 gear. so I got rammed, then passed on the omega turn/pimple turn (the one which CP3 sits on.... I like calling it the omega turn cause thats what it looks like yeah?)

MR2 vs EK9 tsukuba obd lose

crap... don't know how in hell to run this properly sleep.gif

Then a few TA's on myogi dhw, and came up with this:

2'42 => 2'40'6xx

I main;y lose speed when the car goes under, but on the whole if I hit FT that time can potentially hit a mid/low 30's at the rate I'm going

Posted by: MomoChan Aug 25 2007, 05:44 AM
Cuz's report:

Cleared LOTS once again, so we've hit the 7 mark. Avatar was given a small smiling lip, so cute!! No more will you see blank stare Momo in the arcades... she's smiling now... ^o^

GC8V tuned further, currently at 4-4-4-5-5.

Cuz seems to have made a new card for himself, but he won't show it to me... >.<

Terrible day, really. laugh.gif

My second run through LotS and I reversed myself vs.ing Kai (again) whistling.gif I felt rather n00b xD

I didn't play anymore ID4 after that... but I did hop over to the Tekken machines.

Beat some guy's Xiaoyu pretty solidly. They were clearly just experimenting with her. He re-played me with his Bryan and I lost twice, but got to final round in both encounters. *hate Bryan* I got hit by Snake Edge once or twice too.

My co-ordination levels were pretty lacklustre today I guess. (I ended my night by losing to my girlfriend in Puzzle Bobble too)

Posted by: Fuzz Aug 25 2007, 08:14 AM
not a bad day, managed to improve on my akina time, didnt really think i'd beat it by a sec

Today, I just ran 3 rounds in Iro against Kai.. The first attempt was horrible.. Was really beaten flat.. The second i lost out close enough.. But lost out at the final corner before the straight.. Was neck and neck till i forgot to PC out of the corner..

On the third try.. I did jumping every corner.. Beating him at one point (almost) then at the final corner once again we were neck and neck.. I pc-ed but some how he seem to have more power.. Some how.. and i lost again.. He was on the outside wall when i hit him.. but he pulled out fast..

Another try tomorrow.. Tell u guys about it if i win..

i had the same problem.. i beat kai on my 4th try though by a hair

Finally had some battles today with my 8v vs FD
Akina dhd - won, somehow I felt like I was fishing...
Tsukuba obd - lost, I'm soooo n00b sad.gif
Myogi dhd - won, he chose this, luckily I had few practices on this course
Iro dhd - won, wallrape and pc all the way
Then I realized that his car has la lot ower tunes than mine, suddenly felt so bad about it.

Borrowed P*K's 86 and run lots of TA on Akina dhd, the best I could come up was only 3'10'7xx, AAAARRRRGGGGH, I'm sooooo n00b sad.gif

Posted by: jiahao1001 Aug 25 2007, 12:02 PM
it is possible.... but wall raping makes it faster... after all it is about taking the best lines... i'll get a video up once i push the time abit more... maybe it could be a new technique? peeps in my arcade here are nailing 2 40 xxx on irohazaka here.... thads even more amazing.....

Posted by: toookoooldrew118 Aug 25 2007, 04:32 PM
