I finally started playing ID4 with some friends of mine after a big hiatus from the initial d community. I was really excited and getting reading to get right into ID4 except a problem hit me, that also plagued me in ID3. The Car.

In ID3 my problem was that I didn't want a godly car but I did want one that performed well in battles and TA's. I ended up making over 12 cards and only 3 of them reached half tune. Now, I find myself playing ID4 and I have a RX-8 and a MR-2. I love both cars in real life and in the game but I also like many other cars such as the GC8 and S2000 and the Sil-80.

I was wondering what is everyone's opinion on what I should get as a main car for TA's and able to battle as well. I just need some suggestions on a car to stick to and tune it out.

Oh and please don't recommend the Trueno, I understand that it is really good but I just try to avoid it.

If you guys need any more information let me know.
btw if this is in the wrong section can a moderator move it? I didn't know where else to put this topic.

Thanks in advance!

i dont recall ID4 having a godly car like the DC2 in V2.
The Trueno comes close though...

Car for TAs will depend on what track you like to run

Battle.. just about dead even. 5 speed, 6 speed.. no visible difference. unless you want a big ass car for blocking.. then dont take the cappuccino. eh...
when it comes to battles... it is either the course car or its not.


meh.. just pick any car that tickles your heart.


i vote Evo =P


or hope that AS5 comes soon tongue.gif

Of the cars that you mentioned, the MR-2, GC8 and S2000 are course cars which can give you blazing TAs:

https://idforums.net/index.php?showtopic=32750

However, of those three, the GC8 has the most accel which makes it a great battle car. The MR-2 and S2000 are more on the underpowered, maneuverable side . . . while according to some the MR-2 has strange handling characteristics (snap oversteer?) which only get ironed out upon full-tuning.

Well, whatever . . . make what you love biggrin.gif

Read all of my stickied threads.

But if you already have some cars, the MR2 is good overall and of course godly in Iro. Tune that MR2 then have the next car be an S2000. The GC8V is good for battles with its decent startup and huge ass to block.

Forget about the RX8 and Sil80 if what you're looking for are good all rounders. The 3 cars I mentioned above are good all-rounders AND have specialty courses. The rx8 is just decent in Tsukuba and the Sil80 is 2nd course car for Myogi DH and thats about it, whereas the 3 cars above perform great everywhere and are godly on their home courses.

thanks guys for the responses! I'll be ironing out my choices soon and let you guys know. It's basically been narrowed down to the S2000 and MR2. Leaning towards the S2000 though, but I do have love for both cars. I drive myself crazy sometimes.

btw has anything major happened during my like almost 2 year hiatus from the forums?
like I noticed Wolf is now a mod and Demon is in Japan >_>

Say what? blink.gif

By that, do you mean it's below average everywhere else, or just plain sucks?

Because that could explain why I cant wallrape Iro.

It doesnt really "suck". But I could say its average. My AE85 is faster than my RX8 in most maps. laugh.gif Except in tsukuba.

Suburu WRX STI has never let me down unless i was just flat out...out raced walked into an arcade popped in seventy five cents and put down some kid in the second race with a card and tuned....i mean the first one i lost and i was maybe a bumper length behind him.....it goes down to the heart in my opinion if you dont have a general love for the car you wont drive it as well
but i stick by it

Hahahaha, naw I haven't changed my username. But, you probably dont remember me because I went on a hiatus for about a year or more from the forums. Not hard to forget bout me haha. I was mostly around when ID3 was still hot.
