Back in the Driver's Seat

For the past month or two I've slowly been getting back into playing TXRD2 more often. In late February I picked up a backwards compatible Playstation 3 so I've started a new game on it. I'm finally to the point where some of the Level 4 & Level 5 parts are becoming available - as are the sportier cars.

At this time I have two cars (both Fairlady Z's) from my original Team Impul resurrected and now tuned even better than before. Right now I'm just working on the Z33 because I was never thoroughly satisfied with how it handled before. The latest tuning has really yielded good results and I can't wait to see how far I can push it. Today I secured the #14 spot on the Official Ranking Board for Kirigamine Downhill - Corner Artist Attack.

I'm very happy with how the car performs now and I can't wait to push it farther. Hopefully I will get around to tuning my Z32 soon, but I don't want to rush anything.

My future plans are to resurrect the other cars from the original Team Impul - the Nissan Laurel 25 Club S GC35 and Nissan Skyline Coupe 350GT CPV35. Also, I would like to continue on my Time Attack Honda Prelude Si VTEC BB4.

Also, I am trying to get my hands on the Studio MovieBox Ultimate Collection by Pinnacle. My capture device died, and my wife's laptop (used for recording) still isn't working correctly. We want to get her laptop's RAM upgraded and her system wiped clean to a fresh start so that I can record again - but in HD.

As more events unfold, I'll keep this blog updated.
