I has been forever since I played this game - and with all the shenanigans I'm having with GT5 I need a good racing game outlet. In addition, I miss the touge! So, I've ordered a PS2 Memory Card Adaptor and will be moving my nice big old game saves to my PS3 to play some Kaido again. I would like to get back to having fun on narrow roads. :) Hopefully I can keep the motivation going and possibly start making more TXRD2 videos again (a good part of my subscribers want that apparently).

Set a new personal best.

Test Drive: Impreza STi Time Attack Tune

I took beast345's WRX STi setup for a run down Kirigamine. Like most AWD, the car had some understeer issues which I reduced, but didn't eliminate. Check it out here.

Test Drive: Silvia S15 Time Attack Tune

Did a quick review of beast345's S15 down Kirigamine. Setup looked pretty good, just made a subtle change recommendation. Check it out here.

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.

Kaido Battle 3: Touge no Densetsu Promo & Commercials

Here's a few videos released by Genki of Kaido Battle 3: Touge no Densetsu.

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.
