STOLEN from topshift forums	Sun, 07 November 2004 06:10

not mine. copied. Alright, let me preface this by saying I have played about a week and i dont claim ALL this information is 100% accurate. I ran some searches and couldnt find a guide for new players that explained some basics and some finer points of the game so i threw together this information that Ive gather (And i THINK is correct/accurate). This information was originially posted to GESCC (Golden Eagles Sports Car Club- Tennesse Tech's Sports car / autocross team to which I belong.) Any information you can add or correct is greatly appreciated! Lets try to make something to help people like me and my friends! -------TOPSHIFT--------- Here is a quick compilation of the knowledge I gained from the first round of the game. Any more questions I dont address may be emailed to me. PaParker21 SPONSORS SPONSORS SPONSORS! -Seriously, get sponsors- they not only effect how much you get for working, they allow you to request money from them (and sometimes score alot more than working normally!) -To get sponsors its best to scroll to the very bottom of the list starting with Alpine and get every sponsor between alpine and sanyo. These are all audio sponsors and are very easy to acquire. Most can be gotten with just five credits (the minimum) but at the worst, can be gotten with 40 or 50. -After all audio sponsors, get magazines, they typically take about 20-45 a magazine -After magazines advance to tires, then everything else. -NX and NOS are also somewhat easy to acquire USE AS MANY CREDITS AS YOU CAN! -You start an account with 1500 credits. -The normal max credits is 800. -It takes 8.9 hours to get 800 credits. Thats a night of sleep or a day of classes. -Right before bed make sure to use up your credits! -When you wake up, use your credits! (I usually 2-400 to request funds once my sponsors are good, then the rest to work- this gives me tons of money to use for parts later and lets me build credits for the install costs) MODIFICATIONS -Modifications cost money, and credits. Money to buy, credits to isntall. $$$$$[credits] -You can buy parts without installing if you uncheck the box next to "BUY" -Parts affect each other- if youve got an exhaust and intake the headers help tons! -Port and polish has quickly diminsihing returns, it should be last thing upgraded. -nitrous is a great way to get tons of power -Turbo kicks the crap outta supercharging in this game economically and horsepower wise. -Dont forget to dyno! Every 2-3 small power adders (headers,intake,throttle body, etc) or every major power adder (pistons+cams, turbo, super, stroker, nitrous) deserves a dyno run and tuning. Stoichiometric A/F is 13.5 for N/A and 12.5 for F/I. Raising the numbers @ each rpm leans the mixture, lowering it enriches. -TnT- Test N Tune- this is where you set tire pressure, camber, and dampers. Tune for the best 60ft times. This is what really wins the races RACING -Nitrous is your friend. 200$[5] to refill the bottle. -Make sure youve got gas 100$[5] to refill fuel. -Dont randomly accept races, make sure you check out the profile and think you can win. Your gunna want to win all you can- this raises your RnR and experience -With experience come driver skill upgrades (which allow higher stages of nitrous, turbo, or supercharging as well as weight reduction and port polish jobs) -With skill levels, new cars become available CREDITS -The only way to get credits is buy them with real, US dollars (25$ gets ya 7500 credits i think) or time. -You get 15 credits every 10 minutes. -800 credits is the max you can have at any time, this takes 8.9 hours to acquire -Credits are used to install items, do any action that takes time (dyno, TnT, promote) -It is important to manage your credits carefully or you will find yourself holding the cash to buy the turbo upgrade, but not the credits required to install it Vandalising, Stealing, ETC -I have no information on this except from what I read on the forums, people say it takes about 200 planning and 200 execution to get a car w/o being caught. -TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING TO YOU! ----Leave your car status as "TUNING, RACING, or DYNO" when you logout. how? simple. Make your last action either a race, a TnT session, or a dyno session. Don't use the logout button- To exit, simply close the internet explorer window. TEAMS To join a team you must be invited by the captain RNR (RAcing and Reputation) From what I gather, this goes up with winning races, down with losing, and sometimes it can go down even if you win. Your RnR Effects how useful your promoting of sponsors is (Ive heard w/ under about 6% you wont level up any sponsors no matter how packets you give out, I verified to some degree by passing out 1500 packets w/ a .12% RnR and didnt raise a single sponsor out of about 20 a single point). This may also effect how much you get when requesting funds and working although I am not sure. This is an area that needs alot more information from other more experienced players. At the start of the game with Zero RnR: XM Satellite Radio 20 Alpine 20 AdioVox 20 Blaupunkt 20 Bose 20 Boston Accoustics 20 Clarion 25 JL Audio 20 JVC 20 Kenwood 20 Kicker 20 Monster Cable 20 MTX 20 Nakamicha 20 Panasonic 20 "Why can't I buy ** car?/ Why is * car not available" You can't buy the car either because the car isn't available cause the admins are still working on getting stuff for them, or it is a member only car. You can only buy cars within your price range, skill level, and cars that are highlighted in white. "My car vanished suddenly" or "I had lvl 10 security and my car got stolenWTF?!?!!!1shiftone" Someone saw you were vulnerable to car theft and took advantage of it. Its part of the game, get over it. To stay safe though, you need to be in DYNO, TUNING, or RACING mode. Do this by running a TnT session $100[10] as your last action, then use the X in internet explorer to close the window- do not click LOGOUT. "I was faster, but I still lost" You may have been faster, but, with his/her reaction time(R/T), they won. r/t + 1/4 mile time = total time. "I bought *** part(s) and now I'm slower" You need to Test'n'Tune and/or dyno your car after you install any and EVERY part. "How do I dyno/TnT?" Dyno If you have a turbo or super charger, 12.5 is where you need to line the line up. If you go all motor(this includes NoS, iirc) 13.5 is where the line needs to be. TnT Watch your 60ft. time only, no other numbers matter. Go up or down by 1 or 2 and watch for the faster 60ft. times. note: You'll probably waste quite a bit of credits doing this, so wait till everything is installed to do it as you hafta do it everytime something else is installed.
