Peformance Upgrades/Priorities

[Charitzo]

Which performance upgrades are recommended and which should I purchase first?

All of em.

Tho if pushed I would say carbies and radiator.

You can overheat the car driving hard pretty easily with the stock radiator, doubly so with the twin carbs. So yeah rad>carbs>exhaust, headers and muffler (they all are part of a set)

Awesome, thanks man :D Btw, do the different tyre sets have any difference on handling between them?

Sure do! Rally tires have better grip on dirt roads (which is nice for the country roads and dirt track), while the performance racing tires do very well indeed on asphalt. The other two tire types are basically the same, and have marginally better handling on both dirt and asphalt as compared to the stock tires.

+1 to radiator as first upgrade. If you're so inclined get the carb gauge with it, it'll help tune the carb precisely which will also reduce overheating.

Yeah first thing I bought before everything was all the extra guages xD

Another difference between the tires is that they are different sizes. The rally tires are substantally 'taller' then the racing slicks, and both different size to the stock. This mean that

A: your speedo will be off (a lot) when you move from stock,

B: The tall rally tires will give you the highest possible speed

Can you adjust your Speedo to compensate?

No adjusting speedo (yet). First purchase for me every game is the AFR gauge, extra gauges, and race steering wheel. Then radiator, rally tires, exhaust, and carbs.

Steering wheel changes anything?

dont think so, just looks cool. It was the last thing I bought. But I bought all gauges, subs, stereo, and all performance parts all at once (good thing i brought the van) then ordered tires and the steering wheel after.

I really can't stand staring at that 10mm nut. If there was a horn button for the stock wheel I'd have never gotten rid of it.

I wish there was a horn, so many times I wanted to honk at technoviking or that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that drives the back roads. I tried pit maneuvering that guy off the trail but it's impossible with the satsuma.

[Mikhail Reign]

I try to use the horn all the time! Wish there was one. Even if it didn't do anything in game other then make a sound.

exactly, it would just satisfy me.
