basically, chumps.

its basic psychological marketing.

target market = young boyracers/gamers/import car enthusiasts. all these types know HKS, and know HKS = awesome.

therefore slap the HKS name on a product = instant mass appeal to said market = mass sales.

you comprehend yes?

and has anyone won the final nascar race at daytona in a-spec? i get pit maneuvered and spun around every time lol. on the odd occasion i do get out in front, i lose too much speed on the corners because i cant keep the car steady with the standard controller and just get owned anyway lol

Nah, too hard lol. I just settled with winning the championship.

The B-Spec one is hard ;)

The B-Spec one is hard ;)

really? the b-spec was easy i thought. set the downforce to full front and rear, and when your driver gets to the front, he'll walk away from the pack on the corners. they'll catch up a bit on the straights but you keep pulling away on the corners and eventually you create a good lead

been watching a few vids of the X1 in action

omfg- that thing is made from 100% solid-gold win: 33sec lap of Tsukuba, 38sec lap of Grand Valley Speedway(!)

gets up to 390km/h like it's running in a vacuum. more mental than a big mental thing

lot of work to do until you can get your greasy mitts on that thing. need to be level 30.

yeah. will need uber reflexes to drive really fast.

nah i'm still only on about level 20. i don't play it that much though, only a few hours on the weekend. my B-sepc is up to level 7 (one driver at level 5, the other at level 3 or 4)

I'm all about the B-spec as of last night. I'm hooked now- can sit there with a controller in one hand and a drink in the other and make good progress. Also lets you do other shtuff while the A.I guy grinds along for you.

Nearly at Lev.25 on A-spec, but I doubt I'll touch the wheel again until I get the X1 on B-spec.

P.s Marc- I flipped the 300SL at the Merc Nur'ing training once, and I've flipped my Mac F1 and Veyron once apiece (not counting all the times I've let the Bugatti run into the tyrewall at 420+ at the end of Mulsanne straight during high-speed Le Mans free practice runs)

the a-spec nascar race wasnt that hard, get to the front and keep them behind (use rearview to check positions)

flipped a few time trying tho. best flip, and win, was with my lime green R35 GTR with red TE37's

up to level 27 aspec and 14 bspec, 80odd% of the game completed, time to go indy racing today!

waiting for the formula gt car to come up for sale was a pain....

can earn 98k on daytona for a 3.45min 5lap american muscle race, do 5 races then check the for sales.

buying up all the rally and race spec cars atm but looking for a usa 2JU 70's race car, havent seen one in the classifieds yet

best car Ive got would be the Nissan R89C, the formula GT car is too cart-like, got to 'mild' down the turning settings to get comfortable with it

my lime green R35 GTR with red TE37's

i think i just threw up in my mouth a little. is this a xmas theme thing?

spent most of my money last night on the toyota gt-one ts020. favourite le mans car ever.

Edited by jonboy

level 23 a-spec, i find b-spec a bit boring.

flipped veyron after flying down the le mans track no chicanes and straight into the tyre wall.

also is it just me, but i cant control that f**k!ng nascar apart from the oval tracks, some tips pleazzzz????

having fun with the lp670 SV, cool car however its not that quick so i spent around 600k on a ZR1 with Racing Modification, a its a beast of a car. won me like the wind, all stars against all those le mans cars etc.

after that u win the minota and thats amazingly quick (about 6-7 seconds quicker than the R35,Veyron, LP670 and ZR1 around tsukuba) so yeh still addicted to the game.

We should make a new thread for our quickest lap times

also is it just me, but i cant control that f**k!ng nascar apart from the oval tracks, some tips pleazzzz????

use full downforce, dont open the throttle up at low speeds until your pointing straight. if you have to, use 1 or 2 notches of traction control. i managed without

But ninjas are awesome so you should probably use it all the time.

QFT, lol

i use traction control on some cars because you simply have to with a controller since you have limited throttle control (can't stand using the thumbstick).

can earn 98k on daytona for a 3.45min 5lap american muscle race, do 5 races then check the for sales.

thats 98k all 5 races combined, 17.3k per race (lame).

or you can earn 48,600 per race in the indianapolis race in the nascar series which takes 4.30 mins to complete. i think i'll go for the latter

still only lvl 18 :( no b spec yet.....freaking old lambo is doing my head in......as is the computer drivers....yes i am next to you....no plz dont just drive me off the road as tho im not there......i dont get it, Prologue had epic AI drivers.....what happened?

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
