Toyko Xtreme Racer Strategy

This is my very first strategy guide, so it might not be the best. But I put alot of "work" into, so it should be okay. This is a strategy for the quest mode. From the main menu of the game, choose quest, and then new. This will start a brand new quest. You now have $25,000 to purchase yourself a new car. Here is a chart of all of the vehicles you can get with your $25,000 and possible upgrades you an get with money left-over.

NOTE: Acceleration, speed, looks, and handling will all be rated on a scale of 1 - 5 swirls. Then, a final score will be given to it based on these scores.

Round 1

Type Price Looks Speed Acceleration Handling Final Score
AE862 $22,000 w/2 engine upgrades 40%
AE86T $22,000 w/2 engine upgrades 45%
513 $23,000 w/1 engine upgrade 60%
514 $25,000 45%
RP513 $24,000 65%
EK9 $22,500 w/1 engine upgrade 35%
DC2 $25,000 60%

Sonysbad picks: If you can learn how to handle a stiff car, get the DC2, if not, get the 514. In my opinion, these are the bst 2 cars for starting out.

Using the DC2 and getting the most expensive muffler, and 2 engine upgrades, I managed to beat well over 30 opponents and earning $55,400. When you reach this amout of money, you are ready for your next car. Here is another chart for the next round of cars.

Round 2

Type Price Looks Speed Acceleration Handling Final Score
5W20 $30,000 45%
JZA80 $45,000 80%
XE10 $35,000 55%
JZX100 $33,000 50%
R32 $45,000 60%
R33 $50,000 75%
Z32 $40,000 45%
Y33C $38,000 35%
CE9A $35,000 75%
CP9A $40,000 80%
FC $30,000 65%
FD $45,000 80%
GC8 $40,000 60%
GFLF $40,000 65%
GFL5 $40,000 65%

Sonysbad picks: I really like the JZA80 for its good speed and superb handling. The CE9A is your best bet if you are a little low on cash, and the FD is easily the best all around car.

Your round 2 car will pretty much last you till the end of the game. You should be able to beat the 4 devas with it. You will have to upgrade it quite a bit though. I recomend engine upgrades for your first upgrades. I also recomend buying the most expensive muffler. Your goal though is to maxamise everything, buy and upgrade everything, and personalize it by changing the aerodynamics to give it the look you like. After you beat the 4 Devas, there will be 3 more cars for you to pick from, and after you beat the 4 Devils, 4 more cars will open up. These cars, plus NA2, are the coolest cars in the game. So now you can purchase you final cars (s).

I might add a few tips to this in the furure, but for now, this is my guide. I hope this helps out someone.
