I don't know about 1/4 mile....

[Oparator Stalker]

The prices are way too high, and the customer is way too broke to get a proper drag set up. No matter what I do on the dyno, and what could be afforded by the customer plus a bank loan for high power out put parts, the out come is always the same, 14:40. Might as well left the stock parts on it and not dyno test it. After all, the dyno re-program seems stuck in a loop at 5% anyway, being the only way to increase horse power.

Apperently plugs, wires, spark modular, throttle body isn't enough, and the customer can't aford anything else for exhaust muchless tires..

It is proably a one part deal that makes the magical radical change. I'll just sit this one out and wait for a cheat guide for this.

how ever, the head and throttle body replacement is a nice touch and should had been part of the default game. :)

i had only one job that was really hard. Most of the time normal tuningparts for the engine are enough. If you have 10k+, buy some slicks. You don't need a loan. Sell the stock parts you have after the tuning....

Don't have the 10k. The customer only had 2 instead. The one time loan was only good for 5. Do you need to play the main game first and that money is added in?

The resale of the stock parts don't add up enough. The throttle body cost almost the 2. The 5 was needed for spark plugs, modular, wires and a air filter. Thease things you would need to get that power. Including the dyno chip re-program. And that finally gave me a 30+ after a constant 5+ that seem to loop all the time. And It still gives me a 14.40. Like it had no effect. In the end it was all wasted money. Like the difference between stock and prefomance parts was the money cost only, and that is it. what is the point of the high prefomance parts if the car prefoms the same as the stock parts? Defeats the pourpose I think...

[Vandalen]

the DLC is seperated from the other gamemodes. You start "fresh". Just adapt your playstyle to your given budget. The tires i mentiond are of course for contracts where you have enough money...

Look at the tuningparts. choose that parts first that have the most bang for your buck. Because there are no real life affects in this game, everythins is simple maths. 100$ Airfilter with 1% more Power is the better choice than something that costs 2000+$ and gives only 3% more power. Chiptuning is free and at the end, you can get a lot of time at the "perfect" start of your testrun on the track.

well I changed plugs, plug wires, spark modular, throttle body and a air filter, the main importaint componets as well as a chip tune at +30% and I still get the same 14:40 time that I got before all that. I fix the cars, no problem. But this raceing thing, I don't think so much of it. For what I changed should have made the difference and it did nothing. I might as well changed nothing. This is were The 1/4 mile part of the game seems like it needs work.

That is what I am trying to say, if I left the stock parts on it would still be 14:40. I need 14:10 or less. The spark plugs, plug wires, spark modulars, throttle body and a air filter should have a drastic effect. But it has zero effect, and this customer only has $2,000.00, one slick tire cost up to 3.

So eather the prices has to come down, or the customer needs deeper pockets, or the custom race parts are not being applied to the car for its out put power and speed. Or this is a repair order in which custom parts are used to replace bad stock parts like you do in the main game, or it uses one kind of part in order to make it faster. So I may just wait untill a cheat guide comes out so I can see what magical part that needs to be replced just so it can pass. You know, if it was just a air filter, and nothing more, by all meanse not even plausable, then so be it. What ever it takes to get it to pass and finish the game..

ok, again, this is a GAME. It has it's own set uf rules. Real World does not apply here. Of course in the real world a single new middlepipe of an exhaust will do nothing for more power. But in this game, it does. If it gives 1% more powaer for 300$, put it in. It is financially better than a 2000$ engine part that gives only 3%. Go with this on every tuningpart. Four new. ignition plugs give you 1% more power for 400$. This means it is less cost/power effective than that single exaust part for 300$ and 1% more Power...

And again, the way of how you start the 1/4 Mile often makes the difference.

Really, there is no need for cheats.

For the repaire section, no YOU DO NOT NEED A CHEAT SHEET to FIX the car.

For the 1/4 mile part of the game, it will be one magicle part that will make the car pass. Because apperntly what I done has zero effect. So YEAH you do.

I am NOT gonna run around replaceing parts blind to find that ONE PART that makes the difference because it is preset that way after I changed parts to give it a +56.50% difference and got a zero effect change from it. Never gonna happen, NOT NOW, NOT LATTER.

If everytime I add a new power upgrade part and it over writes a part I put on instead of applying it as ADDED POWER, then the game needs to be re-worked. If the time change is because of my take off, there STILL should be a difference in the time, and the results are the same.

So there is no money availble to do anything else. The cheap customer has no money, Because I got him the throttal body, and My one time loan is not available because I had to use it to get the rest of the parts. So there is this one magical part you must buy so it will pass the time trial.

Fine, I will wait for a cheat guide then play the game. How is it ok to have a cheat guide to FIX the car but not ok for a cheat guide to tune the car. I never needed a cheat guide to fix it, not even day one. But if +56.50% power is not gonna make any effect change over stock parts and the time results are the same? Yeah, you do, or it is a bug problem...

How you start off the line can also make a big difference.

I understand this bro, but if the stock run is turn out is 14:40 and with a +56.50% power upgrade
it is still 14:40, SAME AS the stock run. Then it is gonna be a certain part that makes the magical change or the game needs to be re-worked or its a bug issue. If it isn't and it is because of my run, then there should had been some kind of time difference regardless, no matter if its 14:35 or 14:15, and there isn't. Its the same 14:40 as the stock run. So all that upgrade was wasted money.

[Vandalen]

So you get the same tracktime everytime? Or is the 14.40s the best out of many?
Could you pleass say wich order this is? I completed the DLC and had only once a big problem to reach the mark.

Oh, and you have the last update, right?

Very first work order, need 14:10 to pass, Stock or with the upgrades I installed, the time results are the same 14:40, no change out of every run time. The game is through STEAM so it automaticly updates its self.

[Red Dot Games]

Stock car is making about 14.80 so you did something. Make sure you upgrade game to 1.2.0.4. If steam dont wanna do this by itself - right click on game in steam, properties and check integrity in local files - it should detect upgrade.

Also make sure you use good your free dyno - for first mission - you only need to do perfect +22.5% dyno and you should be near 14.10 ;)

But the dyno out come was +30% over stock. So its over +22.5%. To be honest I really see no reason why between the upgrades and dyno re-programmed chip I should be getting the same time trial results. Let me check the version...

[Oparator Stalker]

It is ver 1.2.0.4

maybe I should send you the save file so you can double check and see if all is in order, yeah?

Hold the W key (throttle) the entire time, from before the green light until you finish. I replaced the air filter, plugs, and chip tuned to +25%, and hit the target time.

ok I tryed that, beat the time at 13.95. not sure what the difference between that and the mouse arrow key but what ever. It worked finally. I can't rememeber what I did in the last run, I think it was the mouse arrow key and space bar, Dosen't matter, thanks..
