Hint: Pimpmobile:

Take a Nissan Skyline, Ford Mustang or anything else with the same body shape. Put on any desired body parts, apart from "CF" items. Then, set everything that can have its color changed to a light gold. Leave it like that with no vinyls or decals and cruise the city.

Hint: Jump off a car :

To jump off a car's hood, you must first jump off an uphill road the other way that the car is traveling. Use your NOS, get some air, and when the car approaches, get on its hood, off its windshield, then into the air.

Hint: Get to top speed faster:

To get to your top speed faster, go into your garage then go to "Tune up/Dyno". After that, go to "Circuit" and select the ECU. Make levels 3, 4, and 5 as low as possible; with 3 the lowest. Do a dyno run and look at your speed. Compare this to the first time you did it. It should increase a lot, helping in all your races.

Hint: More horsepower and torque:

To add more horsepower and torque, go to "Customize", then tune a car up to level 3 parts. Then, go to "Performance Tune/Dyno". Choose for example, "Drag", then go to "Tune Settings". Go to "ECU" and set it so that from 5 rpm to 9 rpm or whatever is the most the maximum amount of torque you can add. Do the same for "Turbo". Then. go to "Nitrous" and set the duration to 4 seconds. This will add both torque and horsepower to your ride.

Hint: Recommended cars:

The best car is the Toyota Celica. When you unlock everything. put all the parts on it.

One of the best cars in the game is the Toyota Corolla. Once you obtain all level three performance upgrades, you can go online and sup it up . Add whatever desired, including all level three upgrades then go to tuning and set it to drag so that it can take off the line quicker. Then, lower the suspension to the lowest setting. You should now have a car that can beat Celicas and Skylines, and will take off the line faster.

After unlocking all level three performance parts, get a Nissan 240SX and put all of the performance parts on it. If you go online with this car (with performance parts on the car) and get mostly perfect shifts during a drag, you should be able to beat all other car (excluding other 240SX's). If you want to go even faster, you will have to edit the settings of your car on the dyno run.

The fastest car in the game is the Acura Rsx with level three upgrades. The top speed is 240 mph; with unique you can it up tp 247 mph. When you go to the dyno, it will not say that, but it will be that fast on the road.

At the beginning of your career, pick the Mazda Miata but do not get any upgrades. When you can get the Hyundai Tiburon, trade it in. It can be the fastest car in the game. Upgrade it. When you can get an SUV, get the Cadillac Escalade.

The fastest career car is the Hyundai Tiburon, if you put all level 3s and uniques and fine tune it.

The recommended car for an entire career is the Nissan 240SX. Unlock all level 3 performance add them to it. Then, go to the dyno and tune it as follows. First. go to the suspension and tune everything its highest. Then, go to the drive train and also put everything at the highest. Next, go to aerodynamics and do the same. Next, go to tires and brakes and also put everything to the highest. Go to ECU and do the first dot. Make it the highest, then with the next, also make that the highest. Then, do the same to the rest. However, you cannot do it twice. Go to turbo and do the same to turbo that you did to the ECU. Finally, go to nitrous and set it at its maximum. Your car will be unstoppable as long as you start with a perfect shift and do the same with the rest. Do the dyno test again. You should see much improvement.

The best choices for your career car lineup are the Mustang, Skyline, Celica, RX-7, and Supra.

For the Drag or Straight Sprint course, use the Pontiac GTO. For Drift, Street X, Tight Cornered circuit, Sprint, and the URL, use the Mazda Miata MX-5. Use tuning adjustments (level 3 upgrades) for circuit, sprint and drag. ECU: High as possible at 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 revs; Turbo: High as possible at 7, 8, 9 revs; Nitrous: 3-4 seconds; Suspension: Low as possible (ride height) and everything else high as possible; Tires: High grip on both, break balance at the middle; Transmission: Small tracks, tight corners: Full acceleration. Drag: All top speed.

The best car you can get is the Mazda Miata MX-5. With all level 3 performance parts, the cars stats are the best ones. The Honda Civic is also a good car with level 3 performance parts.

The best drift car is the Toyota Corolla (AE86 Trueno). If you want to make it look like the Initial D AE86, paint it white, then put on stock carbon fiber bodykits. To make it the best drifter in the game, use level 3 ECU, transmission, suspension, brakes, and turbo.

The best car to start with is the Honda Civic. Once it starts getting difficult to win races with that car, use the Hyundai Tiburon. You can use it for the rest of the game. It is the best way to win because your car will always be good enough to max out your reputation points on each race.

The best cars in this game are Nissan Skyine and Ford Mustang. If you use the correct visual and performance parts they will be the ultimate exotic cars. Make sure the car has the level 3 performance upgrades. For the Skyline, take the visual upgrades but do not install the last parts. Check to see if it is good for the car.

The fastest car is the Nissan 240SX. Install all level 3 upgrades and uniques, then tune out the ECU, turbo, suspension, and rpm shift points. It will go from 0 to 60 in .87 seconds if it is tuned correctly, you use your NOS, and get perfect shifts.

The fastest car in this game is the Nissan 350Z. Get all upgrades at any time and you will be able to win every race with ease, especially drags. With all performance level 3 upgrades (no uniques), you can defeat everyone in drag races, even when getting over revs and short shifts throughout the entire race. Outruns are very easy as well; get up next to the opponent press Up barely tap your NOS and you will be ahead the whole time, unless you crash.

The best car to drift in Free Run mode is the Mustang on all performance parts. Sometimes it will spin out, but only a few attempts would be good.

The best starter car is the Peugeot 206. It can fly past all the other cars. When you win lots of money, buy the ECU upgrade first because it makes your car even faster.

Hint: Fast career car:

Use the following trick to create an extremely fast and high starred car quickly. When you start career mode, choose a Peugeot 106. Try not to get any upgrades unless you need them. Keep winning races and playing through the game until you unlock the Toyota Celica This can be made into the fastest car in the game. Get it immediately when it is unlocked. This should be sometime in level 2. Play through the game, making sure to take the opportunity to do of any outruns. This will unlock unique upgrades. When you unlock the unique part, you will have to go to a star on the map first. The game will tell you to go to a certain shop, depending on what the unique is. The first one is a unique hood. You must win four outruns for it. Then in stage 3, you need will need three outrun wins for a unique engine, transmission, or tire set. Choose the engine. For unique rims , get six wins in stage 3. The spoilers require four wins on stage 4. The vinyls require six wins on stage 4. The ECU, turbo or brakes require nine wins on stage 4. Select the ECU. The NOS, weight or suspension uniques require six wins on stage 5. Select NOS for an extra long boost. Finally, the wide body kits uniques require eleven wins on stage 5. Put all of these on your Celica, and it will be the fastest car in the game. Note: Do not forget to install the performance upgrades up to level 3.

Hint: Mustang GT: Avoid spins:

In career mode when you unlock The Mustang GT, be careful when you put in the top engine with the top ECU. When going fast, watch out for sharp turns. You might spin out in a race; try to work on your handling.

Hint: Front end donut:

Install level 3 hydraulics and bounce the back end of your car. Then, begin to do a donut. After you do about three donuts you will start to do them on your front two tires.

Hint: Two wheel donut:

Use an RX-7 with level 3 hydraulics. Put the right side up all the way, but keep the left side down. Get the left side bouncing. Then, steer left the entire time. At first you need to get the speed in the turn up to 20 mph for about three seconds. When on two wheels, keep it at 15 mph to stay in a nice donut on two wheels. It can also be done the other way-- just put the left up instead of the right.

Hint: Endo:

Get any car and put level 3 hydraulics on it. Put on level 3 brakes. You can also use all level 3 engine parts to make it go higher. First, put the rear end up. Then, bounce the back. Next, go about 17 mph (or faster) and hit the brake. If done correctly, you could have the entire back end of the car straight up.

Hint: Catwalk:

To catwalk a car, you must have stage three hydraulics and have stage 3 performance parts. Try using a Mazda RX-8 or a Ford Mustang. To start your catwalk, bounce the front of your car then release the emergency brake but continue to hold [Forward]. Then hit the gas at the top of the bounce. You car should catwalk. Note: This will now work with AWD and FWD cars.

Hint: Get car on either side of the wheels:

This trick requires all of the level 2 upgrades, and hydraulics upgrade level 2. Get the hydraulics to either side of the car, and only that one side. Then, do a donut to the right if the left side of the car is lifted and vice versa. This only happens for a moment.

Hint: Lift tire off ground:

To get a left rear tire off the ground, go to "Customize Car" and put hydraulics on the Pontiac GTO. Go to free ride mode and put the rear of the car off the ground with the hydraulics. Then, push the gas and hit the brakes. The left rear of the car will comes off the ground. Note: You must have the level 2 brakes.

Get any car with level 2 or 3 hydraulics. Lift any side and the front. Start doing donuts in the opposite direction. For example, if the left side tires are lifted, then do an donut to the right, and vice versa. You should see the left or right rear tire lift off the ground. It will be like that for the entire time that you are doing the donut.

Hint: Get bank for races:

There are five stages, and as you complete each of them you can go back and repeat the races again. You may even find that there are some races you missed. These are the ones that you want to race. When you go to these, you are not supposed to get anything for them but you can change that. To access these races, go to your garage, then your world map, and select a race. When the race begins, pause game play and restart the race. Notice that there is an option to return to world map, however after you restart it will not be there. You can now race and get bank for it.

Hint: Final race:

The final race is against Caleb (the man that tells Nikki to win, then she loses and joins your team) on a 4.5 mile track and 5 laps. However, he only gets up to about 130 mph.

Hint: Easy hang time points:

There are two ways to get hang time points. The first is to jump off a hill or go up. The second uses hydraulics. To do this, you must first put your car against a wall. Then, start flipping the hydraulics until you jump. As soon as you jump up, immediately accelerate and use your nitrous. If done correctly, it should say "hang time" and give you some points. Unfortunately, you will not get points for the hydro jump.

Hint: Easy drift points:

Some of the downhill drift races have houses with looping drive ways that you can drive in. Drifting in these driveways gets a lot more points than on the street because you are so far off the road and are not hitting a wall.

Go into Quick Race mode and select the Subaru Impreza with all Extreme or Level 3 performance parts. You may style the visual as desired, Then, choose Drift Track 6 and 10 laps with easy opponents. Drive through the middle of the track. When you are just before a corner, press the handbrake. Release it after you have slightly slid. Your car will soon almost spin and will drift through easily. Continue through the rest of the track by swerving on the straights and using the handbrake properly on the corners. You can get about 50,000 to 500,000 drift points at the end of the race.

Hint: Easy style points:

Driving in reverse will give you style points. The longer you drive in reverse, the more points you will receive.

To do this, you will need at least level 1 hydraulics. Drive up against a wall and activate your hydraulics. Then, press the gas and stay up against the wall. You may need to turn sometimes to keep it straight. You should start to get points on the right side of your screen.

Hint: Drift mode:

In drift mode, set your car up using the following this basic structure. Tune the ECU to have as much torque as you can get in the early gears. Make all of the suspension settings as hard as possible to eliminate shock travel. This will help get the back end out. Turn the tire grip to weak. Also, make the cars acceleration as quick as possible. For the toe settings, lower it all the way. Make the aero settings as weak as possible. Set the brake bias towards rear. By doing this, you will greatly increase your score, especially on the downhill. On the straight-aways you can do Choku-Doris (go from side to side) to rack up big points. You can then link them to power over-steer drifts, which is when you will use the torque and acceleration to lose traction in the back tires, then use carefully timed throttle control to get around the corner as sideways as possible. This will help your drifts scores get as high as possible. Throttle control is very important -- do not get discouraged if you spin out a lot. Note: This has not been attempted on FF or AWD cars. FF and AWD cars will most likely have a softer suspension setting but everything else would probably remain the same. FF and AWD cars also need the hand brake to initiate drifts more than a FR car would.

Hint: Finding more races:


If you cannot find any more races on your map, then you need to find all the hidden shops in the city. After you find all the shops, you will be asked to be on another DVD cover. Follow the star to get to the next level. Note: Use the shops map featured below.

If you cannot find any more races on the map, make your visual rating on your car at least six stars or more. After you are done with the rating , Rachel will tell you about a photograph to take. Then after the picture you must do the URL. More races will appear. You will also unlock level 3 parts if you find the shops.

Hint: Finding hidden shops:

Look at road signs around the city. They often have colored shapes (yellow triangles, etc.) to guide the way to the shops. Also, look for street-lights casting a colored glow. This indicates that there is a shop very close.


 

Hint: Easy NOS:

Get on the highway and drive in reverse. After a few seconds you should begin racking up points on the right side of your screen. These points will give you extra NOS. Note: Crashing into traffic at high speeds will reduce your NOS.

Go to any shop. Enter the shop, then leave it. You will have a full tank of NOS.

Get on a road and keep doing 360 degree turns using the handbrake. This will give you 400 points and will add to your NOS. You can repeat this another two times.

By driving your car backwards (without hitting any cars or walls) you can fully refuel both of your NOS tanks.

Enter the freeway and keep driving in reverse until the score reaches about 3000.

You can recover NOS by doing one of the following things.

Sprayshow: Purge your nitrous
Traffic Hit: Penalty from hitting traffic.
Lead Lap: Lead a lap in the race.
Clean Section: Make it through an entire race section without hitting anything.
Clean Lap: Make it through an entire lap without hitting anything.
Shortcut: Take a shortcut.
Avoid Accident: Almost get in a wreck with another car.
360: Perform a 360 or a doughnut while driving.
Best Lap: Score a best lap during a race.
Head Start: Get off the starting line the quickest.
J Turn: Drive in reverse and swing the car around to drive away forwards.
Burnout: Spin the tires.
Leap Frog: Jump your car over a traffic accident.
Hydro Bounce: Bounce your car using level 3 hydraulics.

Hint: Easy money:

Collecting the little information logos around the city gives you money. You will receive $25 for each one.
As soon as you start the game, ignore Rachel's request to go to the car lot. Instead, try to collect as many information icons as possible. This will give you that little extra money to start modding your car, and will save time as you do not have to look for them in your initially slow car. Also, enter the two races shown on your GPS (circuit and sprint races). Going in these two races will give you at least 500 points in the bank. You should receive a message to get to the car lot now. Do so, and continue playing the game.

Listen to the other racers that periodically talk to you. They will say a general location in the city where you can find hidden races not shown on the map that are worth $850 instead of the usual $300.

In the career mode menu, go to the world map. Select any race that has not been completed in any stage. Once the race has started, pause game play and restart. After you have won the race, a screen will appear showing you how many reputation points and how much bank you have won. You will then go to the menu that asks if you want to return to explore mode, restart, etc. When this appears choose "Return To Main Menu". You do not have to save the game. Then, just go back into the career menu and select the "World Map" option again. Choose another race that has not been completed and start it. If done correctly, all of the races in the world map will be against three Toyota Corollas or a mixture of Hummers, Escalades and Navigators. If you restart these races, you will always get money if you win.

When you start with Rachel's car, do not take it back immediately. Instead, do some outruns and races to get money. You will then have a boost of money when you get your own car.

In career mode, eventually you will get sponsored and there will be purple crosses on the map. If you go to them, they are usually a sponsored circuit race. If you win them, you will get $900.

Enter career mode and go down to the Burger King and Best Buy area. Drive around and look for a stone wall and alley by the town shops. Go into the alley and turn sharply to the right. There will be a parking lot where an opponent will be sitting. He will not be appear on your navigation map, nor will you. You can challenge this opponent to an easy outrun. He will always drive towards the stadium. After you beat him, return to the parking lot where two red info messages will appear. Get them for $25 each. After you collect them, go into a garage, shop, etc., and save the game. Then, go back to the parking lot. Five green money bags will be there. Collect them, jump to the garage (on the main menu screen) and return for five more. This will get you money much easier than racing.

You can earn big money in stage 5. Go to garage in any stage of career mode and go to the world map. You can participate in races from previous stages. If you race one, pause game play and restart the race. You will get a bigger bank than if you had waited until you were done with all the stages (up to $31,00 in stage 5).

Once you have completed the game and are taking a long time to get money, go to your garage and access the world map. Find events that you have not completed. The races that are not completed may have money waiting once you win the race.

Use the following trick to get more money for winning a race. Watch for races that are not marked on the map. They give you more money for winning than a regular race.

Hint: URL parts:

The best way to tell how many parts there is to a URL is the number of laps. Three laps indicates three parts of one URL. Four laps are only two parts, and five or six laps is only one run, but the CPU is moderately harder to race.

Going off jumps in URL races:

Start driving slow to get in fourth place. Then, drive up in front of the third, second and first place cars to get extra points for nitro. You can use it when you are getting close to the four lights hanging on the bar. You will go off the jump and see a short intermission sequence of your car going off the jump.

Hint: Easier turns in URL races:

Notice that before the sharp turns during the URL races, there are a set of numbers that countdown to 1. Follow those numbers to perfect your sharp turn into a groove to speed through faster. Keep accelerating until you reach "1", then slam on the brakes and turn. Once perfected, this can help you get through the turns with more speed.

In URL races, the CPU will try to spin you a lot. Whenever your car slides to an 30 to 60 degree angle, use your NOS and turn.

Some turns in URL races do not require brakes. Notice that the angles of some of the turns are kind of rounded. If you have the speed, you could go right into the wall and make the turn. As long as you are going about 130 mph and hit these certain corners, you will only go down to 100 mph or so. You have to experiment with the turns. Sometimes you will go too fast and flip, and other times you will fly through the turns going 100 mph while the CPU cars slow down, giving you some cushion time. Remember, you must get up against the wall for this trick to work.

In the first few laps, you will most likely be behind someone. When you are going on a turn, they will probably slow down. This is where you can turn the tables on the entire race. Do not slow down. Instead, keep going and use him as a wall to get the inside of the turn without applying the brake. As a bonus you may also get him to stop in an attempt to shake you, but this will only result in getting you a good lead. Note: You must make sure he does not ram you into the wall.

If your using a very fast car with manual transmission, you do not need to brake when you get to a 90 degree corner. For example, if you are in fourth gear and are doing about 200 kph, just shift down to second gear. This will lower the speed to about 100 kph, then turn. Note: Tune your suspension so that your car does not slide easily, which will lower your speed even more unnecessarily.

On the airport courses for the URL races, after the long straightaways or any turn, do not use the brake. Drive along the wall and let the outside boundary do the turning for you.

Hint: Easy Street X wins:

When you are in Street X, change your car's transmission to manual and use a low gear through most of the race. It will help you cut your speed for better turns.
In order to win Street X, you must take the turns wide at first then sharpen up your turns. This will help you add to your lead, and most likely you will win.

Hint: Easy drag race wins:

Instead of using nitrous by holding it down and wasting it all at once, just keep tapping [Nitrous] as fast as you can. You will gain 1 to 3 mph with every tap, which is actually increases your speed faster than if you were to hold it down. Also, you will run out of it about one third as fast. Try this under the hardest difficulty setting.

In section 3 when you go to a drag race, take off the stability control. Note: You will be going so fast that you can get totaled.

Hint: Easy wins:

When racing for magazine covers, unique performance or visual parts, it helps if you have both NOS bottles filled. This can let you scab that tenth of a second that you have always missed. It also helps, especially in the more difficult and longer stages, with small time limits, to immediately activate the GPS as soon as you have accepted the challenge.

Tap [Nitrous] to go faster and conserve NOS. Always put your NOS at little more on power than duration when in dyno testing and tweaking your car. This will make it easier to win races.

Hint: Original Need For Speed Underground drift races:

Win all Street X races to unlock the drift races from the original Need For Speed Underground.

Hint: Wining an outrun:

Once you have found an opponent to outrun with, get in front of the opponent and get in the lead. Get as far as possible until the distance meter has reached its limit. If the distance meter starts to drop, it indicates that the opponent is catching up. When this happens, do a handbrake skid and turn the car around. Go back the way that you came from. The opponent will follow you as you are the one in lead, but he will take time to catch up, giving you an advantage to win the outrun.

If you are in front of an opponent but cannot seem to lose him, head toward the center of the city ( the area that has the five fountains ). Once there, weave through the fountains. Your opponent will most likely crash into one of the fountains, giving you an easy win. Note: Practice going through the fountains first before you attempt an outrun so you do not lose your money. It is easier to do this in an SUV because it will not reach a high speed before you reach the fountains.

This trick requires that most of the city is unlocked. Get your car and get on the highway that leads around in a oval-like way. Challenge people on the highway for a much better chance of winning, since top speeds are better and there are less turns than the normal roads (so you do not slow down as much).

This trick requires a fast accelerating car. Drive to the airport where you first start the game, Next, find an opponent to race. While racing the opponent, make sure you get into the lead then go onto a little ramp the leads to a road just alongside the airport. After going down that road, you should be at an intersection where you can go left or straight. Take a left turn, then go straight down that road, which should be a parking lot. Once your opponent tries to catch up to you and gets close to the intersection, he will go straight instead of turning. This will give you a large lead and an easy win.

Start race with a full bar of nitrous. Come up from behind your opponent and draft until the nitrous is full, then do a tailspin maneuver. Do this by clipping the back bumper of your opponent, which sends them into the wall or in reverse. They will end up facing the wrong direction, giving you the advantage.

Find an opponent and draft behind them until you have full NOS (for backup, if you have at least a dryshot installed). When it is full, pull up next to them. Wait until you can challenge them, then start it. Then, ram your opponent at the rear tire. Keep pushing and to cause them to wipe out and stop, or crash into a wall. Then just drive off on a long straight road and use your saved up NOS. If you do not win it, you will at least have a very nice lead.

Drive up behind a car that is better than yours and hit it from the back . Then, challenge it and start to drive away. If the car is better than yours, it has better handling and will not take as long to get turned around and chase after you. This will encourage you to go at higher speeds and use more of your nitrous. Do not panic if you are going fast and are not very skilled. Just trust yourself and the car.

Use the following trick if you need to win the outrun modes for the unique parts. There is an easier way than doing it in the streets of the city. Get onto the highway of the main city (in whichever direction desired). Fill up your NOS gauge by doing near misses and avoiding accidents. When it is full and the backup is full (dark blue and light blue), find an opponent on the highway. Do not challenge any opponents if they are behind the concrete barrier that divides the road; only the ones on the side of the highway that you are driving on. Pull up behind them and position yourself for the tailspin maneuver by leaning your front against the opponent's side and back bumper area. Make sure you do not have a lot of your front and side on his back bumper, as you cannot spin him out if your too much on him. Look behind you from the outside view to make sure you are not too much on him (just a little). Then, accept the challenge and immediately spin him out, if you are successful, then hit the NOS. If you are not, pound the NOS anyway. You are still likely to win in about 5 to 15 seconds unless you crash. Do not go off of the highway. Repeat this process until you collect enough money and get the star for the unique item you need.

When doing an outrun, just before you start get on your opponent's right side with your front wheels in line with his back wheels. Then, start the outrun. When "Go" appears on the screen, turn left as sharp as possible, then bring your car under control and floor the gas to speed off.

Underground 2 Car Performance Tunings

I'm not the best at tuning, but i collect some setups from good online players , and i put them here. They are all pretty good , and i use them all the time. There is one good setup for gears that i found on my own. it improves acceleration and top speed, and it works on all cars.

Gear setup:
Gear I: 40
Gear II: 70
Gear III: 100
Gear IV: 130
Gear V: 170
Gear VI: Max...

Final Drive: Anything really, as long as you can get close to these numbers on the gears.

Ok , so the rest is setups. I know good setups for a lot of cars, but not all. Some cars have more than one setup. Ok, soo... the setups are below. And for all cars that only have the final drive (for drivetrain) use the gear setup above with what is listed for the final drive. The setups do not include ECU or turbo. Use a glitch on them.

Parts for Cars

Okay, so something important about this game is that the visual parts you install on your car does affect how it drives. Below Is a list of all the visual parts you can install on your car, and an explanation of what they do to your car. This list does not include paint. Paint does not affect your cars driving.

Body Kits (front and rear bumpers, and side skirts)- The bigger body kit you select the heavier it makes your car. If you have no body kits, it makes your car harder to handle (spins out). I suggest a level one body kit (the first ones you get in career mode).

Spoilers- Spoilers offer you downforce, which you dont always need. Another thing it does is it creates drag. If you have a car that spins out a lot, you should give it a bigger spoiler. If your car drives good without the rear downforce, install a level one spoiler
(one you unlock at begginging of career). I dont suggest having no spoiler because most cars
need some downforce or they will easily spin out.

Hoods- Hoods just look cool. Upgraded hoods weigh more because they are bigger. It is best to just have a stock hood because your car will be more streamlined, and it will be lighter weight. They dont really do anything to help your cars performance, like a spoiler, they just look cool.

Roof Scoops- Roof scoops are really bad. They dont improve performance like a spoiler and they dont look cool. All they do is create drag. They also weigh you down, but the fact they create drag is worse. Roof scoops do nothing but slow you down.

Headlights/Taillights- These just look cool. They dont really do anything to the performance on the car. Altough, if your car has pop-up headlights stock, you will want to upgrade these to something elce because they create drag.

Side Mirrors- These dont effect the weight of the car. All they do is create drag. You want to get the most thin side mirrors because your car will be more streamlined. The most thin one is called 'Geronimo'.

Exaust tip- The size of the exaust tip doesnt matter. They dont weigh you down. Having an upgraded exaust tip is good in two ways: it looks cool, and it makes your car faster. The bigger the exaust tip, the faster it makes your car. The best two exaust tips are 'sonic' and 'rocket'.

Rims- Rims dont do anything to your performance (rim size does). You can get any kind of rims on your car (the type doesnt effect car) to make it look cool or whatever. But, you have to buy the smallest size rims. The Bigger the rim, the heavier it is. Also a bigger rim reduces the tire profile and makes your car handle worse. Small rims are the best, so get the smallest size.

Carbon Fiber- Carbon fiber just looks cool. For a real car, carbon fiber is lighter and keeps cool, so it makes a good hood or whatnot. In this game, however, carbon fiber for some reason is heavier. It slows you down because it makes your car heavier (it must be a programing error).

Wide Body Kits- Wide body kits are heavy. They will lower your acceleration because they are heavy. Although, they can help you. They make your car turn better because they increaase the overall downforce. It improves handling but decreaces acceleration.

Gauges- These do nothing to the performance of your car (as you might have already guessed).

Neon- These also do nothing to the performance of your car. Niether underglow nor engine neon effects the car. They just look cool. I didnt mention trunk neon because... well look at the trunk audio section and you'll see.

Window Tint- This doesnt do anything to the performance of your car. They just look cool.

Lights- This doesnt do anything to the performance of your car. The only thing it may do is if you have trouble seeing the road for some reason, brighter lights may help (odd scenario).

Nitro purge- As you might have guessed this does nothing too your car (in performance).

Hydros- These dont directly do anything to your car, but if you have your back hydro's up (and your front hydro's down) off the line of a race, it will improve off the line acceleration.

Trunk Audio- This is bad. It is really heavy and you should not put it in the back of a car unless it has a serious spinning out problem. Your trunk should be stock.

Spinners- I know spinners look cool, but they are really heavy. They will weight your car down a lot because the part of the rim thats spinning is on top of another rim. This means there really are 2 rims, and one of them is spinning. This means it is twice as heavy as normal rims.

Spit Hoods- These are even worse than normal hood upgrades. They are really heavy and really weigh down the front of your car. I strongly suggest sticking with stock hoods if you are trying to make a fast car.

Doors- Doors are like the coolist looking thing that ever happened on that game. However, they too are really heavy and really decrease the possible performance of your car. Its is really sad, but it is true.

Simple Glitches

At performance shop install upgrade packages in number order.(Example: Turbo 2,1,3,2,1,3 would mean install turbo performance packages 2 then 1 then 3, ext. IN ORDER! (Note: example is not a real glitch)
1. Suspenshin - 1,2,3,1,2,1,3.
3. Weight - 2,3,1
2. Tires - 3,2,1,2,1,2,3.
4. Tires - 2,1,3
5. Tires - 3,1,2,1,3
Note: you can only put one of the three tire glitches on a car. Just figure out which one you like more and use it more often. I dont think they are too much different, but still. Also note that the suspenshin and tire glitches mostly improve handling, the weight glitch emproves acceleration and handling.
The simple glitches only improve your car by a small amount. There are other ones that make a huge difference, but take a long time to do. Its up to you weather or not its worth the time to do, but they do improve your car a lot. All the bigger glitches I know i'll post below.

Steroid Glitch

Note: there are a lot of ways to do this glitch, but i only know one. Also note this may not work on all cars. I have only done it on a couple cars because it takes a while (depending on how long you do it).
Step 1: On your car, equip all level 3 performance parts.
Step 2: Go to dyno and select the kind of race you want to tune your car in. Note: the race type you select here is where you go to every time you enter the dyno, for the entire glitch.
Step 3: Go to the turbo and put the first four bars all the way up (blue). Note: keep pushing up on the first four bars untill all the red has disapered from them. If all the other bars happen to be all red, and there is still red in the first four, then start pushing up just the first three bars. (this usually only happens later in the glitch).
Step 4: Dyno run the car and exit the dyno.
Step 5: Install level 1 turbo. Then go back to dyno.
Step 6: Go to turbo. Now push the last five bars up (blue). Note: usually (in most cars) not all the red will fit in the first four bars. When the first four bars get all red, and there is still red left in the turbo, just subtract a bar to push up. (meaning, (example) push up the last four bars instead of five, ect.)
Step 7: When that is done dyno run the car and exit the dyno.
Step 9: Install level 3 turbo. Then go back to dyno. When you enter the selected race type, read the horse power and torque. They should have gone up.
Step 10: Go to turbo and do the same thing you did last time you were in the dyno. Put the first four bars up (if the chart fills up with red, start only pushing the first three up).
Step 11: Dyno run the car and exit.
Step 12: Install Level 1 turbo and go to dyno.
Step 13: Go to turbo and do what you did before. (putting the last bars up (blue)
Step 14: Dyno run the car and exit. Do you see the pattern? Just continue to do this. You should see that the red on the chart is icreasing. As you continue, you will get more and more red. You should also see that your horse power and torque increase every time you enter the dyno. however, on most cars, at a certine point the torque starts going down. This is where you have to decide if you want to sacrifice torque for horsepower. You should recieve horse power for long time. when you reach the end of the glitch, the power will start to go down. the moment the power goes down (with level 3 installed of corse) that is the end of the glitch.
Note: If you dont notice an increase in horsepower and torque after four or five times, it probably doesnt work on that car. Also when you have more red in the turbo, you may see a light gold color in the turbo when you have level 3 installed. If you click anything, it (they) will disapper. Its ok not to have it. If you want to know what it is, its just the light blue (the stuff that red cant fill up) and the red overlaping eachother. Basically, the gold is red, but the bar with the gold in it is that much bigger, so you have that much more red in it than if it was just maxed out.
IMPORTANT: once you finish this glitch, you can NOT touch the bars in the ECU at all. If you do all the ECU bars will disapper leaving you with all blue ECU and all red turbo. Not very good. Leave the ECU alone when your done.
Note: At any time during this glitch, you can save. This means that any time during the glitch you CAN save it and do something elce. When you load to continue, it should still work. Just continue where you left off.

ECU/Steroid Glitch

Note: this glitch is relatively long. But, it is so worth it. I got tons of horse power from it. Although i have only gotten it to work on a corolla. Ive tried on a lot of cars and it didnt work. If you are trying it on a car other than the corolla make sure to read my notes to see if its working or not. You can tell at the beggining part of the glitch if its working or not.
Step 1: Start with all level 3 performance packages and level 1 ECU.
Step 2: Go to dyno and pick a race type. Note: the race type you select is the one you will go to every time you enter the dyno for the whole glitch.
Step 3: Go to turbo and make the last bar all red
Step 4: Dyno run car
Step 5: Go back to turbo and click down once on the last bar. (no, you dont exit the dyno).
Step 6: Dyno run car
Step 7: Go back to turbo and click down once on the last bar.
Step 8: Dyno run car
Step 9: Go back to turbo and click down once on the last bar. Everytime you do this you should see the red in the turbo slowly disapper. Yes, this is good. It should only disapper by a little each time but you still should be able to see a change. Note: at this time you should NOT be exiting the dyno. All of this is done at the dyno without exiting. Also note: this is where you can figure out if the glitch really works on that car. If you do not see a change after 10 to 20 times doing this, it does not work on that car.
Step 10: Continue to do this untill all the red in the turbo is gone except for the last bar.
Step 11: Now when thats done you dyno run your car and go to the ECU.
Step 12: In the ECU click down once on the first bar. You should see all the red in the ECU get thicker. You have added more red a lot more red to you ECU.
Step 13: At this point you CAN move the red in the ECU around the way you like it, but only now. If you do it later the red in the ECU will disapper.
Step 14: Now, time to get your turbo back. Start doing the 'Steroid Glitch'. If you dont know what this is just look up at the 'Steroid Glitch' section.
Step 15: Follow the steps in the 'Steroid Glitch' section to steroid glitch the car. While you are doing this do NOT touch your ECU at all! All your extra ECU red will dissapear.
Step 16: This will take longer than it normally would because you are starting out with almost no red in the turbo, but it should go along at the same speed.
Step 17: When that is done install level 2 and 3 ECU performance packages on your car. Now the glitch is over and you are done.
Note: When you are done you can NOT touch the ECU or all the red will disapper. That would not be good. Another thing is that, just like the Steroid Glitch, you can save at any time throughout the glitch and do something elce. If you want to work on another car or race or just turn off your game to do something elce you can. Just save and quit. When you load and come back to continue the glitch, it should work.

Turbo Glitch

Note: This is one of my favorite glitches. It is very effective. You can gain a lot of horse power and torque from it. Although it takes a while. Not to long, but not very short. Some cars it takes longer to do on. It may not work on all cars.
Step 1: Istall all level 3 performance packages on your car.
Step 2: Go to dyno. Select the race type you want to do it in. Note: this is the race type the glitch will be in. You never leave the dyno so you dont really need to remember to come to the same one every time you enter.
Step 3: Go to the turbo and put the last 3 bars all up (blue). Now click down once on each of the other bars from greatist to least. For instance, you would click down once on bars 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 in that order. Never touch the last three bars.
Step 4: Dyno run car
Step 5: Go to turbo and click down once on all bars (except last three) in decending order just like before. Note: from this point on, never touch the last three bars.
Step 6: Dyno run car
Step 7: Continue to do this for a long time. Every time you do (or almost every time) the horsepower and torque go up a little. It is a very small amount that it goes up, but over time it adds up to a lot of horsepower and torque. Dont worry if you mess up, it should still work unless its too big. like if you accidentally click down once on the last bar, ignore it and continue as usual. It shouldnt hurt it.
Step 8: Continue this until the horsepower and torque stop going up. when they do, repeat the process 5 or 6 more times to be sure the glitch is over. When horsepower and torque stop going up, the glitch is done.
Note: Just like the Steroid Glitch, you can save in the middle and do something elce. If you just start where you left off (when you come back to it), it should work.

Gold Bars

Note: unfortunitly, i dont know much about gold bars or how to do them. A gold bar is just when the red in the ECU or turbo overlaps the light blue color that you cant fill in. It acts as red, so you have that much more red power in a bar that the red dosent really fit in. For example, if you have a bar maxed out with red, and you get a gold bar in it, you would be getting just that much more power out of the maxed red bar than if it didnt have a gold bar. You get these at the end of the turbo glitch, usually, depending on the car. Most do though. Now I do not much about any of the gold bar glitches. And, the instructions I read on another website, so i dont have any extra notes in the instructions. I acctually have never done this glitch before so i cant really help you with extra tips or notes. I could never do it because I couldn't understand the insructions. But, i decided to put it on the site just in case someone elce can understand it and it helps them out.
Gold bar in the first bar of the ECU
Step 1: Start with all level 3 parts except for level 1 ECU
Step 2: Go to dyno and select a race type. Note: when you come back to the dyno this is the race type you will select.
Step 3: Go to ECU and default it.
Step 4: Click down once on the second bar of the ECU.
Step 5: Dyno run the car.
Step 6: Go to ECU and set the first bar all the way down.
Step 7: Exit the dyno. Next, install level 2 and 3 ECU performance packages.
Step 8: Go to dyno. You should see a gold bar in the first bar of the ECU.
Note: This glitch is short and quick, so its not going to take loads of time. This is the only gold bar glitch that I have acctually done. Its easy, but I dont see a huge reason to do it. It doesnt help a lot because all of your ECU power is in the first bar. But either way, there it is.
Double Gold Bar Glitch
Note: this glitch and the next one I have never done. The instructions I got from another site and I could never understand them.
IMPORTANT: the double and the triple gold bar glitches are supposed to only work on the corolla, so dont waste your time trying to do it on antother car.
Step 1: Build a new car
Step 2: quip all performance parts except for ECU.
Step 3: Save before DYNO
Step 4: Max Turbo bars 4-9* The number of bars will vary with the car chosen.
Step 5: Run the DYNO
Step 6: Leave DYNO and go to Performance parts
Step 7: Equip Stage 1 Turbo
Step 8: Go to DYNO, push down on the last two bars in Turbo.
Step 9: Run the DYNO
Step 10: Leave DYNO and go to Performance Parts
Step 11: Equip Stage 3 Turbo
Step 12: Go to DYNO, You will see a gold bar in the Turbo. Push it down just once. It will be in 7,8,or 9
Step 13: Push down the 4 Bar to fill up 5-9. In order to fill up four you push down 3-0 in that order. Keep doing it until 3-0 is empty.
Step 14: Repeat steps 7,8 then repeat steps 12,13
Step 15: When Four gets maxed out, max out the 3 bar in the same process by pushing down 2-0
Step 16: When 3 is maxed out or at least 3/4 of the way there, stop, and move on to the next steps.
Step 17: Go to Performance Parts and go to ECU.
Step 18: Manually install the first 4 parts-Dont buy the stages
Step 19: Then skip performance chip, install the next one
Step 20: Skip engine management, then install last one
Step 21: Go to DYNO
Step 22: In ECU, put first two bars all the way down. If they dont then you did not do the first part long enough.
Step 23: Run DYNO
Step 24: Leave DYNO and go to Performance parts
Step 25: Install Perf. Chip then Engine Management (must be in this order).
Step 26: Go to DYNO-should be two gold bars on the first 2 bars.
Note: again, I never understood those instructions. If you figure out the complicated part and the glitch works, good for you
Triple Gold Bar Glitch
Note: The last of the gold bar glitches that I cant do. Yet again, I couldnt understand the instructons, and I got them from another site.
Step 1: Build a new car
Step 2: Equip all performance parts except for ECU.
Step 3: Save before DYNO
Step 4: Max Turbo bars 4-9* The number of bars will vary with the car chosen.
Step 5: Run the DYNO
Step 6: Leave DYNO and go to Performance parts
Step 7: Go to DYNO, push down on the last two bars in Turbo.
Step 9: Run the DYNO
Step 10: Leave DYNO and go to Performance Parts
Step 11: Equip Stage 3 Turbo
Step 12: Go to DYNO, You will see a gold bar in the Turbo. Push it down just once. It will be in 7,8,or 9
Step 13: Push down the 4 Bar to fill up 5-9. In order to fill up four you push down 3-0 in that order. Keep doing it until 3-0 is empty.
Step 14: Repeat steps 7,8 then repeat steps 12,13
Step 15: When Four gets maxed out, max out the 3 bar in the same process by pushing down 2-0
Step 16: When 3 is maxed out or at least 3/4 of the way there. Stop and move to the next steps.
Step !7: Go to Performance Parts and go to ECU.
Step 18: Manually install the first 4 parts-Dont buy the stages
Step 19: Then skip performance chip, install the next one
Step 20: Skip engine management, then install last one
Step 21: Go to DYNO
Step 22: In ECU, put first two bars all the way down. If they dont then you did not do the first part long enough.
Step 23: Run DYNO
Step 24: Now DO NOT install Perf chip or Engine Mananagement yet.
Step 25: Go to Turbo and push the last bar all the way down. Then run it on DYNO
Step 26: There will be a tiny amount of blue on the last bar. Push it down once then dyno it. Then go back to the last bar and push it down once again. Then DYNO it. Keep doing this pattern until all the bars are maxed except the last bar.
Step 27: Now push down the 3rd bar in ECU. *NOTE* if 1 and 2 raise keep pushing down all 3 until the blue disappears.
Step 28: Install Performance chip and Engine management.
Step 29: In ECU you will see 2 gold bars there isnt actually a 3rd gold bar but it will be all the way down.
Note: There are other gold bar glitches but I have never found out how to do them. I dont even know if either the double or the triple gold bar glitches work because ive never been able to do them. If you do figure it out though, great. Lots of people tell me that the gold bar glitch is really fast, and it probably is. If your looking for that undefeatable car, the gold bar glitches should help a lot, if you can figure out how to do them.

Nitrous Glitch

Note: I have done this glitch and it is easy. It doesnt take to long, and its useful. It increases your duration and your power, which is really good.
Step 1: Start with all level 3 performance packages and level 1 nitrous.
Step 2: Go to dyno and select race type. Note: every time you enter the dyno go to the same race type you select now.
Step 3: Go to nitrous and set it all the way to power (to the left).
Step 4: Dyno run car and exit. Then install level 2 nitrous.
Step 5: Go to dyno. Go to nitrous and set it all the way to duration (to the right)
Step 6: Dyno run car and exit. Then install level 3 nitrous.
Step 7: Go to dyno. Go to nitrous and set it to 6 seconds (you could just press square to defualt it because default is 6 seconds).
Step 8: Dyno run car and save.
Note: This is a very helpful glitch that does not take very long. I highly recommend it to anyone trying to make a top end car.

Personal Glitch

Note: I have absolutely no idea where it got the name from, but it works. I did it and i got a lot of horse power. It is not a short glitch, but it is not as long as the turbo glitch BY FAR. It will get your car one step faster so i recommend it. And when I say 'bar' I mean the bar, not RPM number.
Step 1: Start with all level 3 performance parts. Go to dyno and select a race type (every time you enter the dyno go to this race type). Set the ECU and turbo to default, by pressing square. Dyno run and exit.
Step 2: Go to the customization menu and go into the ECU and return to stock, and install level 1. Next, go over to the turbo and make sure you have level 3 installed.
Step 3: Go into the Dyno and into the ECU and put the 1st bar as low as it can go. Next, go to the turbo and IN ORDER bring down the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th bar as low as they can go. Dyno run the car and exit.
Step 4: Go to the customization menu and go into the ECU and installed level 2 and 3. Next go to the turbo and install level 1.
Step 5: Go into the Dyno and go over to the turbo and IN ORDER bring down the 7th, 8th, and 9th bar as low as they can go. Dyno run and exit.
Step 6: Go to the customization menu and go into the ECU and select return to stock and install level 1. Next go over to the turbo and install level 3, DON’T install level 2 and then 3, install level 3 DIRECTLY.
Step 7: Go into the Dyno and go over to the ECU and press down ONE time on 1st bar, then press down TWO times on the 2nd bar, then press down THREE times on the 3rd bar, then press down TWO times on the 2nd bar, then press down ONE time on the 1st bar, then press down ONE time on the 2nd bar, then press down ONE time on the 3rd bar, then press down ONE time on the 2nd bar, and finally press down ONE time on the 1st bar. Next, go to the turbo and IN ORDER bring down the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th bar as low as they can go. Dyno run the car and exit.
Step 8: Go to the customization menu and go into the ECU and installed level 2 and 3. Next go to the turbo and install level 1.
Step 9: Go into the Dyno and go over to the turbo and IN ORDER bring down the 7th, 8th, and 9th bar as low as they can go. Dyno run and exit.
Step 10: Go to the customization menu and go into the ECU and select return to stock and install level 1. Next go over to the turbo and install level 3, DON’T install level 2 and then 3, install level 3 DIRECTLY.
Step 11: Go into the Dyno and go over to the ECU and press down ONE time on 1st bar, then press down TWO times on the 2nd bar, then press down THREE times on the 3rd bar, then press down ONE time on the 2nd bar, then press down ONE time on the 1st bar. Next, go to the turbo and IN ORDER bring down the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th bar as low as they can go. Dyno run the car and exit.
Step 12: Go to the customization menu and go into the ECU and installed level 2 and 3.
Step 13: Now you are done with the ECU ONLY, next is the turbo, which can be set up many different ways. LEAVE THE ECU HOW IT IS AS OF NOW.
Step 14: There is a lot of ways to set up the turbo and I dont know them all. I will write the two that I know.
Step 15 (option 1): This first one will work on any car, its the easiest, and it takes the least amount of time to do. First go into the Dyno and into the turbo. All you have to do is press square and it will return the turbo to default (I’m not joking!). Dyno run the car and you will notice that your bhp went up a lot but your torque probably went down (that’s ok). Go back into the turbo and raise the following bars as high as they can go (order does not matter here) 7th, 8th, and 9th. Next IN ORDER bring down as low as they can go the following bars 4th, 3rd, 2nd, and 1st. Next in what ever order you want keep bringing down the 3rd, 2nd, and 1st, bar as low as they can go until there is no more.
Step 15 (option 2): The other set up I know for the turbo is the Steroid Glitch or the Turbo Glitch. Chose which of these two you want to do. Look at the 'Steroid glitch' or 'Turbo Glitch' section if you don’t know how to do it.

Extended Personal Glitch

Note: I found a way to extend the 'Personal glitch'. Basically, It is the same glitch, but a different way to do it so that there is a possability to get more power. It is only a minor part of the glitch changed, but the instructions are kind of different.
Step 1: Start with all level 3 performance parts. Go to dyno and select a race type (every time you enter the dyno go to this race type). Set the ECU and turbo to default, by pressing square. Dyno run and exit.
Step 2: Go to the customization menu and go into the ECU and return to stock, and install level 1. Next, go over to the turbo and make sure you have level 3 installed.
Step 3: Go into the Dyno and into the ECU and put the 1st bar as low as it can go. Next, go to the turbo and IN ORDER bring down the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th bars as low as they can go. Dyno run the car and exit.
Step 4: Go to the customization menu and go into the ECU and installed level 2 and 3. Next go to the turbo and install level 1.
Step 5: Go into the Dyno and go over to the turbo and IN ORDER bring down the 7th, 8th, and 9th bar as low as they can go. Dyno run and exit.
Step 6: Go to the customization menu and go into the ECU and select return to stock and install level 1. Next go over to the turbo and install level 3, DON’T install level 2 and then 3, install level 3 DIRECTLY.
Step 7: Go into the dyno and go into the ECU and click down once on the first bar. You should see the red increase. If nothing happens or if the red decreases, this glitch does not work for that car.
Step 8: If the red does increase, put down the first bars so that all the red is in the first bars. This is not to important but it is what I like to do.
Step 9: Go to the turbo and IN ORDER bring down the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th bars as low as they can go. Dyno run and exit.
Step 10: Go to the customization menu and go into the ECU and installed level 2 and 3. Next go to the turbo and install level 1
Step 11: Go into the Dyno and go over to the turbo and IN ORDER bring down the 7th, 8th, and 9th bar as low as they can go. Dyno run and exit.
Step 12: Go to the customization menu and go into the ECU and select return to stock and install level 1. Next go over to the turbo and install level 3, DON’T install level 2 and then 3, install level 3 DIRECTLY
Step 13: Continue this and you will get more and more red in the ECU. Do this untill no more red apperears. When no more red appears, you are done. move the red around to where you want it. This is the way you will have it, and beyond this point you cannot change it. Now default the turbo (but dont do anything elce to it). dyno run then exit. Install ECU level 3 and turbo level 3.
Note: This glitch does not work on all cars, but it is really effective. Once you are done though, dont touch the ECU or all the extra red will dissaper.

Rubber Band Glitch

BEFOR YOU DO THIS GLITCH, LOOK IN THE GUESTBOOK ON THIS PAGE FOR NOTES, COMMENTS, EDITS, OR ANYTHING ELCE ADDED BY SITE VISITERS ABOUT THIS GLITCH. This is an easy glitch that is supposed to make your car a crap load faster. I have only gotten it to work in career mode, but people have told me it works on non-career cars too. If you have any information about it on non-career cars or if you know something I dont about it, please tell me at iceglacier1@gmail.com. These are the steps that work for me in career mode.

Step 1: Get a career car with unique ECU and all level 3 performance parts.

Step 2: Go to the dyno and select a race type.

Step 3: Make sure the setup is what you want it to be because you cannot touch the setup of the car after this glitch.

Step 4: Go to the ECU and put the cursor on the last bar.

Step 5: Hold the anolog stick up so the last bar becomes all blue. Hold the anolog stick up for a couple of hours. To easily do this, wrap a rubber band around the controller to hold the anolog stick up for you. The glitch should be done in 2 hours and 10 minutes plus or minus depending on the car (that information was provided by hitman399779). When it is done, exit the dyno (do not dyno run) and do not go back to change anything or you will have to rubber band it again. This should greatly increase the speed of the car.

Combinding Glitches

As you get better at glitches you relize that you can put more than one glitch on your car. Once you figure this out, just one glitch wont cut it. It is possible to put a lot of glitches on a car, if you know how to do it. And I dont mean simple glitches, I mean turbo and ECU glitches. I made a corolla with two glitches in the turbo, and two in the ECU. It also had all the simple glitches, and the nitro glitch. It is acctually really simple to put more than one glitch on a car. You just need to know what your doing. I dont recommend trying to multi-glitch a car until you have gotten familiar with most of the glitches. All top end cars have more than one. Below I put some multi-glitch setups I came up with. All have been tested on a corolla and are very effective. Note: if one of the glitches in the multi-glitch setup doesnt work on that car, the glitch setup wount work. I suggest you test these out on corollas before other cars. Once you understand the concept of the glitches, you can come up with your own multi-glitch setups. There are lots and lots of ways to combine glitches. The ones I use the most are the ones I put below.
Glitch Combination 1: On your car IN ORDER do the 'Extended Personal Glitch', then the 'ECU/Steroid Glitch' (but only do the steriod glitch steps untill the red in the turbo is about the same amount as it would be default.), and then do the 'Turbo Glitch' to finish it off. You can also do the nitro glitch and the simple glitches if you want.
Glitch Combination 2: On your car IN ORDER do the 'Personal Glitch' or the 'Extended Personal Glitch' (chose what you want to do. I recommend extended), then the 'Steroid Glitch' (untill the amount of red in the turbo is about the same amount as it would be default), then do the 'Turbo Glitch' to finish it off.
Glitch Combination 3: (Note: This one is shorter and I recommend to try it first to get used to multi-glitching before doing the longer ones) On your car IN ORDER do the 'Personal Glitch' or the 'Extended Personal Glitch' (you chose. I recommend extended. Its more effective), then do the 'Steroid Glitch'.
Glitch Combination 4: (Note: This is another shorter one). On your car IN ORDER do the 'Personal Glitch' or the 'Extended Personal Glitch' (you chose. I recommend extended), then do the 'Turbo Glitch'.
There are tons and tons of different glitch combinations. These are just a few I know that I decided to put on. Once you understand what your doing, you can easily make your own multi-glitch setups. Note: when doing multi-glitching, usually you would do the ECU glitches first, and the turbo glitches second. Note: the first glitch combination is my favorite. I think it only works on the corolla, but it is very fast. I beat the online monthly leader (and the runner up) with this multi-glitch setup. I hope it is useful to you too.
