Race tips

[Shot 2 Hel]

Alright I know all of you have your little tricks to make you speed above the rival. Im posting this cause I have none :no: So post up, oh yeah if you dont feel like posting your tips then no worries, but ANY help would be appreciated.

i pray to the god of bomex that I speed over rival.

the most important part is the launch, the race is won or lost there unless you mess your shifts up. Take your throttle to the end of your powerband and shift into the beginning of the next gear's.

#1 Tip: LEARN TO DRIVE

Seriously, practice launches, smooth shifting, etc. That will make more of a difference than little tricks will.

Um I have an automatic, so basically I just torque-brake... turn the OD off, put it in L and hold the brake while pushing the gas... then when it turns green let off brake, shift into 2 at 6200, then D at 6200 again, then turn OD on...

don't street race please....there's a reason its illegal. people DIE.

take it to the street legals please and pracitice your launches there.

Thats where i got that from it was driving me crazy... Thanks for the tips

hmm...drop into gear at a decent rpm...i hear 3 is pretty good for civics (sohc). its all about a sticky surface too...if thers a lot of crap in your lane youre gonna get a shitty start...happened to me 2 days ago...frickin dried salt and I seriously lost to a talon...no surprise though...ANYWAY...what else...watch the light (if thats how youre doing it) when the perpendicular direction lanes light turns yellow get ready...stare at the light and learn which ones change to duel red and which go directly to red/green. Dont be over confident and keep the wheel straight and be sure that your camber is set right for max traction...thats all I got

Oh yeah...and know where the cops are. dont be an idiot and do it where you know cops hang out...

not too observant eh?:pfft: He's got an automatic toyota... jwfy
but yeah, do make sure you know where the cops are, or at least where the neighborhood roads lead to, in case you see a cop and decide to make a few quick turns before he turns on his blues behind you (saved my ass plenty of times!!!:yes: )

[pdiggitydogg]

lmao yeah i know i saw it right after i posted lol

and yeah...donut shops are a bad place to race at

[firstgeardude]

race someone when your almost on empty... and the fumes your running on are PREMIUM
Dont race with your fatass friends in the car... well you can but...
turn on sport mode if you have it
turn OD off
and most importantly... say smoke em.. you'll win every time :yes:

i like to add a little bit of pizzaze when I race. when I throw it in to second I kick the back end out a little. Some people don't mind loosing when you give them a show:banana:

[JamieS697]
