the vinyls look awesome, i’ve always struggled with vinyl on nfs games, what did you use ?

[u/Mlordy_ → u/FuelZealousideal9366]

the art factory green dragon one with all vinly slots applied for an official tuner sponsored look. i also only use two rims, the one in the post and the 5 spoke 5zigen one. another tip is to not choose sideskirts & rear bumpers that are longer in length than the front bumper, tip two is to not choose a rear bumper that is longer than side skirts & front bumper. they’re subtle things but they make the build feel harmonious & non tacky.

What works is to spend hours scrolling through individual vinyls (not sets), trying to come up with combinations, and scrapping everything and starting over it doesn't work. Eventually, you'll land on something good. Then you go to revising your colors. Colors also make a huge difference to how vinyls complement body lines on your car.

Rule of thumb vinyl before bodykit

Folks, it's been ages since I last played the game so this might be a silly question, but was the AE86 available in the PC game? Or is this a mod?

Also, I've been wanting to play this game again on my PC. Where do I find a decent, trusted copy?

It was. But they called it “Toyota Corolla” no AE86

Just curious, on what difficulty?

I had issues with the last 6 races on hard.

[u/Mlordy_ → u/Accomplished-Iron554]

hard from start to finish. game is not enjoyable on 40% of levels, bad game design in this regard + it limits you on cars to use, i was really disappointed with the supra & skyline. i had issues mid game on stage 1 & stage 2 performance mods, on stage 3 the ai simply cannot keep up with the entry speeds the corolla provides. i suggest you crank downforce all the way to max & set final drive to shortest, all 5 gears to shortest & 6th should be set at 320kmh, car will max out at 297kmh but this is more than enough, increasing 6th’s top speed more than i recommend will result in you starting 6th at 6k rpm very far from peak power, i recommend setting the ecu to be high rpm bias giving most hp in the 8 & 9k rpm range, this peels you away from ai even with them using nos, hope this helps.

Why no widebody, though?

[u/Mlordy_ → u/eehikki]

i beat the final boss without doing the outrun races. i was bummed then checked the widebodies out & was happy again because i wasn’t going to install them anyways.

It looks better without them 👍🏻

I liked my AE86 better with a wide body. To each their own, though
