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.

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.
