Mid-Week Fun Run - Z32 Fairlady Z

Took a little time off but did have a little fun tonight with the Z32 on Happogahara.

Kaido Battle/Kaido Battle 2: Chain Reaction Promos

If you watch the videos carefully, you can see that Genki Racing Project (GRP) took the time to use laser pinpointing to accurately layout each of the courses. Genki also used the help from two of Japan's top drivers in creating a realistic driving experience.

Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift 2 Advertisements (Japanese Version)

Test Drive: Abarth CA Attack Tune

Just finished trying out beast345's Abarth 1000 drift tune. Because the car is so small with a short wheelbase, it was hard to make it drift well without changing the whole setup. Check it out here.

Test Drive: Speedster Time Attack Tune

Did a quick review of beast345's Speedster down Kirigamine. What was really nice is that I didn't really need to change anything, but I did recommend two small tweaks. Check it out here.

Road 'N' Rally Racer - Mitsubishi Evo VIII

This is the setup I used to finish off the opponents on Hokkaido, Hakone, and Aso early this morning. It isn't a great tune by any means, but it got the job ton with little hassle. Of course for the road courses (Hakone & Aso) I didn't use Spiked Tires - I used Sports Tires (of the same level).

Test Drive: Trueno AE92 Time Attack Tune

Blew some dust an old tune - Lowen-Kreuz's Trueno AE92 grip setup. I killed about 40 minutes in this setup, but it was worth it. Check it out here.

Conquest Mode - Progress Update Part 8

Well I bit the bullet and spent the last couple hours beating the game. I'm done! Alright, now that I have beaten the game for the second time, I think it's time to take a break and get back to some good ol' tuning. The next tune that I release will be the setup used to beat the last rivals on Hokkaido.

Conquest Mode - Progress Update Part 7

Finally! I've been waiting on one rival to appear and he finally has. I've spent probably 2 weeks or so looking for him.

Test Drive: NSX Time Attack Tune

I broke up the monotony tonight by testing out beast345's NA2 NSX on Kirigamine downhill. Within a few runs and about 10 minutes I made a few small changes that made a big difference. Check it out here.

Conquest Mode - Progress Update Part 6

Well, I haven't picked up much more for rivals yet, but I did gain a few more prizes as well as conquer some new special events. I also kicked up another sponsor - Technospeed on Yukinoohtani.

Conquest Mode - Progress Update Part 5

Finally getting into some of the good rivals - the conditional ones.

Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift 2 Hidden Wheels Guide

Most people don't know this, but there is actually several hidden wheels in TXRD2. To attain these wheels, you have to purchase cars from the Used Car Dealer that have them equipped. All hidden wheels share the same design but come in slightly different colors and spoke/lip patterns - they look like Rays VOLK Racing CE28N's.

Conquest Mode - Progress Update Part 4

I've taken down a few more rivals, but I'm definitely getting into the part of the game where time drags out. More and more rivals are dependent upon a particular rival to be beaten or day of the week.

Conquest Mode - Progress Update Part 3

Gettin' them slowly but surely.

Conquest Mode - Progress Update Part 2

After playing the game for a while, I've managed to knock off a few more rivals from the list. I really need to get all the rivals up to Hokkaido beat soon so that I can prepare for the hardships that course brings. Hokkaido is probably the toughest course for me to beat because I hate rally racing.

Conquest Mode - Progress Update Part 1

Well tonight I finally got back to working on my current Conquest Mode save. I was stuck waiting on the next rivals from Aso to appear - basically having to go through day/night mode until I could get to a Wednesday night with clear weather (using a doll).

Wednesday Night Slum

Well I really didn't get much done tonight, between some work on the house and being tired I failed to do much on TXRD2. Hopefully tomorrow night will be better.

Course Crawlin' Spyder - Toyota MR-S Part 3

This morning's runs were too much to handle - couldn't get the drive off my mind all day at work. So when I got home I decided I had to take this car to a course that I absolutely hate - Shiga Kusatsu - and see how well I can do. After racing down the course for about 30-40 minutes I got a fast run with no wall hits.

Here is my standings on the ranking board. My run secured the 27th spot - and the fastest MR2/MR-S for the course.

Course Crawlin' Spyder - Toyota MR-S Part 2

So this morning I decided to get up a little earlier before work and do some racing with the MR-S. As one of my favorite short courses, Kirigamine offers some great corners and grade changes - so that is where I took it. After about 8 runs downhill, I got a time I was satisfied with.

Here is my standings on the ranking board. Currently I'm holding the 35th spot which isn't bad.

Course Crawlin' Spyder - Toyota MR-S Part 1

Tonight I wanted to try my hand at tuning a small mid-engined car for time attack racing. Generally speaking, time attack tuning a rear-wheel drive car is tough for me - most of my configurations are better for sliding, not gripping. I've only taken the car for a test drive down Akagi so I don't know how it will do on the leader boards. The plan is to rank the car tomorrow night when I have time, but for now I'll at least release the tune I have put together.

Old Tunes - Balance In A Drift Car

When building a drift car, throwing large amount of power under the hood won't automatically make it better. At some point a car's power level can become too much for the car to be functional. For this video I wanted to try to show that you can reach a power level that is strong enough to keep the car in motion, yet not so strong that the car spins out.

Old Tunes - Starter Drift Car

I created this tune for people that start playing TXRD2 and get frustrated with building a drift car. With the setup I made, anyone should be able to pick up the controller and throw the car sideways with relative ease.

Back on Track - Conquest Mode

Well, I'm going to keep going through Conquest Mode to try to beat the game once again. I've only beaten it once before because I tend to get sidetracked once I have all the available parts - most of my time is spent tuning cars and/or looking for more sets of hidden wheels.

Weak Sister Silvia - Nissan 180SX

I decided to challenge myself tonight and build a Nissan Silvia/180SX with less than 250PS that could drift nicely - and it had to use the smallest displacement engine possible. After about 5 minutes of tuning and 30 minutes of practicing, here is the tune and CA Attack I came up with. The course I tested on was Happogahara Downhill because of it actually having both downhill and uphill corners.

Old Tunes - Diamond in the Rough Evo

This setup was built as a request for a forum member. It's a very rough build, but it has a lot of potential in the right hands. Understeer has been drastically reduced, now it just needs to be able to put the power to the ground. Basically all parts are Level 5, but you can use whatever you want.

Here is my version of the TXRD2 Rival Guide - it is based of the guide from GameFAQ's but it has been (and still is on occasion) updated with the help of members from my forum.  As more information comes to light, the guide will be updated.

I would also like to personally thank all the following members for their contributions - without teamwork this wouldn't have been possible.

 This is one of my favorite FF car setups, and I definitely love how this car handles.  Sometime I will get back to working on this car but for now it is resting up.

I can only find one setup so far but it is definitely one worth tinkering around with.  This is a drift setup for the Team S/S Nissan Skyline GT-R V-spec II BNR34, enjoy!

Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift 2 Game Review

Finally got around to making a review for this game. I have it posted on a few sites (which I'll link to), but here is my review.

The Only Touge Game Worth Playing - 9.0/10.0

Tokyo Xtreme Racer DRIFT 2 (TXRD2), although horribly titled, is the only racing game out that is truly worth calling an authentic touge racing game. Unlike anything else that is out there, the courses on this game are modeled directly after the real roads - similar to that of the Gran Turismo series.
