Wow, GT3 is a nice game

I gotta say, nice game. And I am probably like a n00b for trying this game so late.

Some of the rides are just¡K. beyond sick¡K¡K Even though pressing buttons is different then driving a real car but the concept somehow remains on the same level. I mean, I now know why a lightened flywheel is useful and it needs to work well with a good racing transmission. I got my AE86 as a starting car then I upgraded the chip, then added intake/muffler, then I put a turbo then ported the cylinders. But I didn¡¦t beef up the suspension and get new racing tires¡K the car swerves like mad yo! LOL

I played briefly last night after work at a friend¡¦s place. It shows how much I do not know about cars and it is way harder then just to read a car magazine, go out buy a car and slap on some muffler then go for a spin. I mean, me wanting to make the car go faster without the basic suspension, break upgrade and tire work has cost me several lost control on sharp turns and ran into walls. Before I had a car before, every time I play car games like this, I felt nothing when cars crash. But ever since I own my car and started get into it, I feel sorta scared even when the car crashed on the TV screen. Lucky it is only a game, but I really believe the concept is very similar.

I am glad I am buying a damper for my car soon as my priority at the moment. I mean, it is not like my car can bump another car and came out in one piece¡K

The Miata IMO is the best car to start out with. Had GT3 since last year and still playing it. Enjoy the game

IMO...

GT3 is like Milk & Bread (or Chinese way...Rice & Tea )
Can't live without it!

When I started, I bought my cars in the following order:

1. AE86
2. Civic Type R
3. JDM Integra Type R 98 Spec
4. Toyota MR-S

I used my AE86 to win many races.

I won these cars and they keep me
survive in many tough races...

1. Nissan Silvia,
2. RX8,
3. GTR R33...

When I bought a new car, I normally lighten up the car first, then modded chips, then Intake and Exhaust.

What about you guys? what would you do to your car first?

Also I prefer NA cars more than FI...NA car is far more predictable!

On the other hand, try to keep RX8 until you have enough $$$ to buy better car. it is a very solid car and will help win many races!

When I first got the game, I bought a yellow New Beetle but quickly saw my mistake and started all over. I began with a black Mazda Miata and kicked *** in the game! Now I'm about 89% completed the game and I haven't looked back since!

But when I get a new car, I usually concentrate on getting a new chip, Stage 2 N/A power upgrade (can't remember what it's called in the game), and flywheel/tranny upgrade. I was usually poor so I had to save all the money I could to purchase the full custom transmissions.

I like to do the suspension and tires first, but in GT3 it's easier to win with more HP under the hood. My first 5 cars was the Miata, Supra, Civic SI, MR2, and JDM Integra. I won most of my races with the GTR, 1000+ hp
