Tip: To Beat The Game | Updated 22 Jan |
| Trying to win 100 Races is hard, here is a great tip which will never fail. While you are racing your lifebar will go down if you are passed by a rival, whatever amount of life you have left, will remain until you complete 100 races OR run out of energy and lose. Here is a nice tip for Full Energy through all 100 races. If you get passed, just hit Start and Click RETIRE, then RETRY. You will begin where you left off, and you life will be restored. Do this until the end, and you will be unstopable. |

Secret Paint Job | Updated 22 Jan |
1. Buy the Rx-7 (Type-FD)
2. When you put in the licence plate number don't change any of the Japanese symbols. Put in " dot 1-3-5 " as the number.
Paint Job 2
1. Buy The Supra
2. When putting in the plate number follow these directions:
For the Supra's paint job the Japenese letter to pick is three steps right from the first one. Look for two stacked katakana "ta" symbols next to a complex form consisting of a "cliff" symbol surrounding two "trees" above the "hand" symbol. The Plate number is " dot 1-3-9 " and the car itself is type- JZA80.

You can purchase Midnight Cinderella's car (the one with the flames on the sides), Zero's car, the Porsche 911, Exhaust Eve's car and the Type-JZABOD (It has racing stripes). Other cars are Raven Blood's car (It has his logo on the hood), Grim Reaper's car, the Type R-34, and even a different Porsche.
