=======================================
You start this game with $400 and a rust bucket
Work your way up through the ranks winning cash and respect
Only when you defeat all challenges can you lay claim to king of the road

After you set up your name you have the choice of 6 chassis
It doesn't matter what you pick as they all perform the same
But just so you know
1 - Toyota Celica
2 - Honda CRX
3 - Toyota Supra
4 - Honda Civic (Thanks to Shadowcat)
5 - Ford Focus
6 - Subaru Impreza (Thanks to Shadowcat)

=======================================
Before you start racing for cash
It's a good idea to have a few dry runs in the test mode
Here you should practice your launching and gear changes
The launching part is pretty easy, just wait till the girl slaps her hands
on her thighs and then change into 1st gear.
The gear changes are usually best done just before 7000rpm
And one general tip before you get ready to kickass
Your opponents usually drive around 0.5sec slower then
their best time
=======================================
= 2.2 Class D =
=======================================
With your first $400 I'd recommend upgrading Exhaust 1, Intake 1 and Wheels 1
This should have you set to begin
Class D is pretty simple, but it's slightly tedious as you have to do a few repeat
races to raise cash

Now you need to start thinking about getting some NOS
if you havent already gotten some
NOS is the key to winning the races at this stage as it boosts
your cars performance by .5-1second
Then after the NOS go for a turbo and you'll easily clean out this Class

Competition starts to get a bit more fierce here
You'll have to repeat a few races to get cash for better parts
You should go for the 2nd Turbo upgrade as well
You also might wanna paint the car so you can get better handling
from the Wing and Body upgrades that become available
This helps with the car randomly flipping into the air

These will be some of the closest races you'll have
You should start to finish off upgrading the smaller components
Then go for the 3rd Turbo upgrade
Also the 3rd Paint upgrade will help with your stability

Just a quick guide, this mightn be the best way
but it worked. And I'd go for the wheels before
the header upgrades just I tried something different
Also some times mightn seem to fast but thats cause
I upgrade as soon as I get the money so not much time
to practice with each upgrade. Also I didn't include
all the respect upgrades I did

= 5 Tips & Tricks =
=======================================
Double or nothing
If you can't afford the bet on the race
but race and win you get double the money
(i.e if the bet is $400, you have $300
and you win you end up with $1100)
Police Glitch
If you can't afford the bet
and the race is stopped because of police
you still gain money
(i.e if bet is 300 in class B, and you get pulled over
with $0 (so you'd be -$300 when you start the race),
you end up with $150 after the race.)
Desperation Move
If you see your about to lose, you can shunt
the other driver and it won't count as a loss
(Though you'll have to pay a fine for damaging
the other persons cars)
NB : Fine is the same as the police fine for that class
Tick tick tick....
This one is more for fun then anything else
Simply accelerate and move your car infront of your opponent
then just slam the brakes... :)
