Drift Battles
*** This does not include the grip/drift battles.
Description: Do power overs (aka donuts) in one location to get many points. Have enough room to do the donuts or you will hit rails. Use your Clutch (L1) + Gas (X), and when in the donut keep them both held with your direction held to either the left or the right. Try using the '67 Mustang Fastback. To be able to buy the car you must complete and win a few roll up races.

Set-up specs for the '67 Mustang Fastback:

Nitro	None
Intake/Exhaust	Level 5
Fuel/Ignition	Level 5
Supercharger	None (leave stock)
Intercooler	None
Suspension	Level 5
Brakes	Level 5
Transmission	Level 5

Differential	None
Namebrand Rims	Wedsport Kranze Cerberus II
Front Rims/Tires	Smallest Rim Size/Smallest Tire Width
Back Rims/Tires	Largest Rim Size/Largest Tire Width

Use transmission Level 3 while drifting. It helps keep drifts going longer without stooping.

Grip Battles
When doing Grip Battles in the mountains it is easier to win if you treat it like a drift match. You will take corners faster and finish quicker.

D.K.
Use the Brake Drift on the entire track. This is the easiest way to complete the track.

Racer & Car references
Location: Find famous names and cars throughout the game, such as cars and actors from the 3 The Fast And The Furious movies, cars from D1GP and Formula D, and drivers from D1GP. Torreto's Muscle shop: Dominic Torreto from The Fast And The Furious
Hans Tuning shop : Tokyo Drift

Recommended car
Toyota Supra: Put all Level 5 parts on it and it can reach 250 mph.
Corvette Z06 : Tune it as follows and it will be able to reach over 270 mph. Set everything to Level 5 except Gearbox (Level 3) and Differential (Level 4).

*** Corvette Z06 is fast but has too much hp for drifting. A good drift car is best if it is between 400 and 500 hp and with Drift Tires Level 4, Gearbox to Level 3, and Turbo/Supercharger to Level 2 or 3.

It is recommended that you only use FR/MR/AWD cars in this game. All the FF cars are slow even when fully tuned.

Tuning Limitations
Cars that are won from defeating Bosses cannot be tuned.

Special versions of cars cannot be tuned, such as the Nismo Skyline, or any other car that was a specially tuned version from the manufacturer.

Boss's Car
When you have defeated all the members of a crew, you are left with the crew's Boss. After defeating the Boss you will be awarded with their car and a new performance upgrade. Right on!

Money $$$ Money
How to: Purchase the $35,000 '02 350Z Fairlady Nismo S-tune, then turn right around and sell it back for $37,300. It is fully tuned as it comes, so its potential is limited.
