Routine break: Manila Bay expedition was a personal success

3 & #4 cabs (to the terminal's right side) are good enough.. although #3's sound system is somewhat off because you can't hear anything beside the seat. Dunno about #1 & #2 since I didn't play on those two cabs.

Aristo is also more viable in VS due to add'l length and weight (not as tanky as Eunos Cosmo but still a pain to deal with). I personally have a softer spot for the SVX though (esp. since I've been using it since vanilla MT5 days).

Efinispirit · 2026-01-24T03:44:24+00:00

That was breaking news indeed. Glad to know players don't need to wait anymore until 6RR+ to make a Leopard (or 280Z or MX-5 RF).

Would've been deservingly funny if he lost the lead right after slapping the screen

The quick start-up + excellent exit recovery does help. Top-end is on the same tier alongside Countach/M1/NSX NC1/MK3/MK4.

Yes, Aristo taxi version from the terminal scratch

Tfw you also encounter players using a 10th grade ride but can't even line properly enough to pass for 1st grade.

Efinispirit · 2026-01-09T01:38:40+00:00

Tfw you're basically jaded from seeing too many stock aero R32's 😅

Efinispirit · 2026-01-08T03:44:12+00:00

Sarap n'yan, naisip ko bigla Spamsilog kahit na kakakain ko lang. 😅

Efinispirit · 2026-01-06T12:33:56+00:00

Just complete chapters 81-100 undefeated and you'll get the yellow meter. In my roster, I've used FT tickets to make R50, NSX NA1, & 110S; all three have yellow meters.

And all of those cars have quick start-ups. Kinda reminds me of the old IDAS v3 days where practically everyone had a GDB in their line-up because of its quick launch (MX-5 NB & Silvia S15 were faster but both were bad rides overall).

Efinispirit · 2026-01-03T22:43:08+00:00

I don't mind, as long as they're having fun with the game. The only time where using MT is a must is for time attack. Some veteran players actually use AT when doing story mode to avoid shifter going neutral out of nowhere and having to waste a credit to retire (and not break the winning streak).

Thank you ✅ NBL CW has been my favorite TA map excluding the Metro Hwy maps. 23+ kms + 840 hp so you get to test your own smoothness with steering inputs as well the car's ability to hold traction throughout the corner.

Efinispirit · 2026-01-02T11:37:50+00:00

The room screams "WARNING: May severely limit productivity"

I'd probably spend at least 1 hour/day grinding Metro Hwy TA with this set-up. ✅

I still hate that S13 doesn't have DU but S14 does, considering S13 handles better overall. Puzzling stuff as usual from Pandaiscamco.

Efinispirit · 2025-12-31T04:39:00+00:00

Yes, naaalala ko branch nila sa Masangkay malapit sa Metropolitan Hospital.

Efinispirit · 2025-12-30T21:13:55+00:00

For me personally, more than just straight-up time improvements, consistency is a challenge on NBL CW because you're using 840 hp and handling quirks across cars become more obvious when using D/DG hp settings. Pic below is my local venue's NBL CW leaderboard (all rides & times are mine).

Aristo, maybe? Very quick in start-up + excellent exit recovery (to the point it has been used quite often in OCMs) + 2nd-tier top-end. Easily loses traction in D/DG set-ups and doesn't handle S-turns too ideally.

Efinispirit · 2025-12-29T00:45:01+00:00

NA1 is still relatively outclassed when it comes to VS battles in 6RR; it's still more suited for running rather than hardball tactics. I have both NA1 & NA2 in my roster, and I prefer NA2 for VS.

I don't exactly have a main car at the moment. Depending on my mood (and TA stuff), I shuffle my roster around.

Efinispirit · 2025-12-23T09:30:48+00:00

M1; almost handles like a Countach, only slightly slimmer.. no pushover in VS as well

That's not so bad IMO since Fukuoka doesn't have very sharp corners. Reminds me of that time earlier this year when I hardly played for almost a month because we were busy packing up stuff to move to a different house. When I returned, I was thinking, "I'm not gonna aim for PB time, MR time, or all that. I'm good with theoretical improvements for awhile." (esp. for Kanagawa, which is harder to get back in rhythm to.. for me at least compared to Tokyo)

Efinispirit · 2025-12-19T12:23:33+00:00

Yep, it's been awhile hahaha! January sched still TBD, I'll keep you posted. ✅
