Tokyo Extreme Racer 3?

Mine has a huge scratch on it, and I can't get into Osaka levels. I am stuck now and can't progress through the game. If anyone has it and is willing to sell or trade for a some other games, let me know.

Thanks,Neal

Ive got it too. I never really play it that much anymore, since all i really play is GT4, Live for speed (not related to NFS at all), and Enthusia. I was thinking about playing it today. I was about to get a swap in my R32 (finally had enough milage), but then for whatever reason i decided to get an R34.

What i REALLY should have done, way back in the game, was to get the 240z, and drive the sh*t out of it, then get an RB26 or VQ35 swap.

Fun game.

Hey, speaking of the PS2, is there any way to clean out dust and collected lint and other crap on the inside of this thing? It's not acting up or anything, but I just want to clean it up a bit...looks filthy.

Compressed air gets rid of a lot of the lint and stuff in the vents. It would be better to take it apart though so you can get into all the nooks and crannys.

Iv'e lost 3 PS2's due to a lot of miscellanous problem and the laser's crapping out. These things break so easy it's not funny.

Yep. Make sure you get canned air, though. Don't blow straight out of a compressor. Static=death for electronics.

Best bet is to pop off the top of the case and just blow out all the dust. Don't vacuum it (same reason you don't use air straight out of your shop compressor).

If you don't want to break it open, open the disk drawer and stick the spray nozzle inside.

Since i have so many lying around ill break one open and check it out, maybe Ill get it to work. Probably end up with an expensive paper weight though.

Ahh, the infamous compressed canned air. Never even thought of that.

One other one. Is there a cleaner to use for the laser, ya know, like for your CD/DVD players?

Does it have to be a specific type, like ones used for video games or something?

I believe they are all the same and can be used with anything CD or DVD. Iv'e heard that those discs with the bruses scratch the lens though, don't really know for sure.

What Ive done in the past to get past the Disk Read Errors on my PS2 is open them up and then use a q-tip and some rubbing alcohol to clean the laser lens. Worked for me.

This is exactly my problem with the ones i have. I put a disc in and they take 5 mins to try and load, then I get a disc read error.

Random question, but related to the game.

So anybody who plays this game knows that engine temp and oil temp rises, and the more boost you run, and etc., the quicker it gets hot, etc.

Soooo, my question is, do the vented hoods actualy function in this game? Also, are hoods with bigger vents more functional then just subtle-ly vented hoods?

I really dont like vented hoods, unless its REALLY subtle, but in this game, engine temp actualy rises accordingly to how you drive, and how much boost your running.

No, hoods are just for looks and lighter weight.

now i feel like a retard for spending money on a vented hood, when i could have just got an OEM painted CF...

oh welzors...

I purposley drove the living crap out of my R32, untill i got to like a thousand miles, just so i could do the engine swap. Apparently you needed more milage, but once i hit a thousand, the car started driving really slow. I got impatient for the engine swap, and just decided to get an R34.

I really should have just bought the Z28 (240z) when it was avaliable, and drove the crap out of it, untill i could get an RB26

Once you beat the game, can you buy any car you want, do anything you want to it, and swap any compatible engine, for free?

Never really beat it, all those special conditions for making all those cars come out bored me. The gameplay got pretty repetitive too, although I did enjoy swapping an RB into my Z31.

There is a little trick to some of the wanderers I read about at http://www.gamefaqs.com It says that when you challange a wanderer, just as the camera starts to rotate around the car, open up your disk tray, then just as the camera gets back to your car, put the tray back in, and it will make the race work. You can also do that to gain milage on your car without driving the piss out of it yourself. I believe you do it right after you win a battle, when the menu screen comes up. Select the option to keep driving, and while in Auto-Pilot, open up the tray and take the disk out, close the tray. The roads will disappear and your car will just start driving.

I don't know if that's exactly the way to do it, but check the website. It has some good info in there.

Bah, it's not even worth trying anymore. I haven't played that game in a couple of years. It was quite an experience finding it though, I must of driven to about 15 stores before I actually found a copy. Ha.

Heh, wuddyaknow? I've had that game now for more than half a year, and have yet to play it (between the wife & kids, the move down here, Enthusia, and Madden 07, I haven't gotten around to it). I still haven't beaten TXR Zero (still missing 4 or 5 wanderers, and the second group of 13 whatevers). But, I have to say the TXR series are some fun games. I have Zero, 3, and Drift (I have beaten that one). You can hook up motor swaps in this version? Oh yeah, I will be hititng that up this week.

Well, while looking for another game (parallel lines), i came across the newest of the series, Tokyo Extreme Racer Drift, 2 (the second of the drift series...)



It looked like it would be pretty good. Anyone have it? Im not much into "drift" games, but its not expensive, and it looks fun.

Huh, I didn't know 2 was coming out this early. I have the first one, and it's pretty fun (though, if you're looking for realism where drifting is concerned, you're better off with GT, Enthusia, Forza, etc.). It has a decent assortment of cars, both older and modern. Like the rest of the TXR series, the courses are modeled after real-world locations. If you love racing games (and are not strictly a simulation junkie), it might be worth a look. As far as I know, these (TXR: Drift) are the U.S. versions of the Kaido Battle series, of which there were three (the last time I checked). So, provided all goes well, we could expect a TXR: Drift 3 before too long.
