Ok, Ok, before you all get angry, yes Juiced was a piece of crap.

I bought juiced 2 because I had too much spare time on my hands, and wanted a new game.

Yes, it's arcadey, the physics engine is based on dodgem cars and it makes NFS:Carbon look like a serious racing simulator, but I actually am enjoying this game.

The major reason is the fact that after playing for about an hour or so, I've already unlocked the R32 GTS-T, the R33 GTS25-t and the R34 GTR!

C'mon, any game that has these cars can't be all bad!

At the very least it lest me buy them all and look at the garage list wistfully wishing I had them all lined up in my real life garage.

The game itself is OK. It's basically car porn though. No storyline, no seriousness, just cars and quick racing shots.

I've been tempted to pick this up myself, but after becoming so used to the likes of GTR2 with a wheel, the ricey arcade games don't quite have the same appeal to me.

Good to hear you're still having some fun with it. Has a pc demo been released? If that showed promise then I might go pick up a copy.

juiced 1 on ps2 was pretty boring, especially the drifting section. the r34 gtr wasn't that great at handling.

the fact that you had to risk betting lots of money to get anywhere in the game was stupid, seeing as if you lost the race, you were back to square 1. and your co-drivers got really annoying by the end of it.

i much preferred NFS most wanted because you get to drive your cars around on the street between races, and run away from cops. And 'burnout takedown' was also another entertaining arcade game.

saw the ad for juiced 2 at EB, the graphics look heaps better, but i guess you'd have to get a decent plasma/LCD tv to make the most of it.

what changes did they make in juiced 2??

I got this game on monday. Halfway through it crashed and kept disconnecting me from xbox live. It doesnt even load anymore. I looked on the net and found its a common problem. Not many people are able to finish the game because of this problem.

Played this on 360 earlier in the week,was pretty dissapointing to start with.Circuit driving feels like th car is on rails,very arcade like.

But the drifting is probably the best ive played in any game,so this kept me interested.

Then i unlocked the 32 and 33 gtst which kept me in the game for a bit longer.

Also bought a S15 and modded it up.Best drift machine.From then on i was just drifting,picking drift tracks and doing some free runs.

I beat Beau Yates in his 86 which was cool though.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
