Car part preview
Select the exhaust or aero at the parts selection screen. Press [Triangle] as the view zooms in to keep the camera away from the car. Press [Triangle] again to resume the zoom.

Trip meter
Do not allow the trip meter (located under the odometer) go much beyond 100 to 150. If your car goes beyond that point, you will notice a lack of acceleration and top speed. To get this meter to go back down to 0, pause game play, and select "Return To Garage". Once in the garage, select "Start Race" and trip meter will be back down to 0.

Gaining mileage
If your mileage is low and you need to gain but do not want to drive in circles, challenge a rival. After the race is over it will stay in auto-pilot with the trip meter and odometer still ticking (eventually leading the way to the level 8 muffler and level 7 engine).

Gear 3: 2.20

Alternately, use the following settings. After using these settings, your car should be able to break 250 mph providing that you have at least the level 7 engine and the level 8 or 7 muffler. You also need to upgrade everything else to its highest setting before you can hit that speed.

Defeating Speed King
To defeat Speed King, use R33 with special tuning:

Acceleration: +13
Braking: +14
Brake Balance: 0
Ride Height: -14
Gear Ratio: Default except final gear: 3.03
Spring Rate: +10 front and rear
Damper: -12 front and rear
Turbo Boost: 1.40

Also, use the Inner Kanjyo or Outer Kanjyo track because that car cannot move fast in the narrow street.

Easy race win
Have good acceleration and send the other car in to the back of pedestrian cars.

Approach a rival on any mostly straight-away at about 110 mph. Flash your lights as fast as you can directly behind the rival as you begin to get closer to them . Without slowing down, turn out to the side of them at the last moment. If done correctly, you will be ahead of them, and even though you challenged them, you are still in front. This can be very helpful with faster rivals, as it allows you to block them from passing you. Note: Your speed is key. If you are going too fast, you will pass your rival without him noticing your flashes. If you are going too slow, you will still be behind your rival when he accepts your challenge. This requires some practice.

If you are racing a rival and are slightly in the lead. To lose them, drive past traffic and honk your horn. The traffic will change lanes and block the other driver. This is a good way to get the upper hand in your race. However, this only works if you get very close to the traffic and honk. Also, it only works sometimes and should not be over used.

In the Kanjoy area, you should see a location where there are two roads blocked. The cars will all stop there so they do not hit the wall. If you keep going, you will get ahead far enough that they cannot catch up. It is also a good idea to challenge them there, so you can get a head start.

Easy money
On the course, an easy way to earn more money in races is to make it longer. For example, tailgating and bumper-gating. The best place on the map to do this is on the long straight. Make sure you have a car that gets up and goes though. When you challenge someone, stay behind them, then get in front of them. The downside is that most of your battle SP will be gone, however you will get more money faster.

You can race the people that you have already defeated and they still give you money for winning again.

Recommended car
One of the best cars to start out with and to keep throughout the game is the Type-CE9A (Lancer). This car delivers performance from the beginning. Do the mileage trip (leave your car on auto pilot until you get 1,860 miles to get a level 7 engine, level 8 muffler, and level 5 body tune). The car will easily break 200 mph, even without the last engine.

Glitch: Race through the air
After defeating a rival, let the game go into autopilot mode. When in this mode, open the CD tray and watch the screen. Eventually everything will disappear except the cars, traffic, and background image. It will appear that the car is racing through the air.
