NEED FOR SPEED: UNDERGROUND 2 TIPS & TRICKS
Filling up your N2O bar
1)Do a power slide(a skid). 2)Avoiding traffic accidents(you must be very close to the traffic). 3)Reversing- keep reversing until you hit the top speed and keep moving back. 4)Hydrualics-when installed press handbrake while stopped and move the anouloge stick. 5)Hang time-move in the air. 6)Spray show-use nitrous while stopped. 7)360-go round in a circle.
Nitrous Usage
When using your N2O don't hold L1 down and drain it all at once! When you need a boost tap it once. This will give you a small, fast boost and it also saves your N2O. It is best to use all your remaining N2O at the end of the race, near the finish line.
Winning Street X
In order to win Street X, you must take the turns wide at first then sharpen up your turns. This will help you add to your lead, and most likely you will win.
Easy style points
Driving in reverse will give you style points. The longer you drive in reverse, the more points you will receive.
More horsepower and torque
To add more horsepower and torque, go to "Customize", then tune a car up to level 3 parts. Then, go to "Performance Tune/Dyno". Choose for example, "Drag", then go to "Tune Settings". Go to "ECU" and set it so that from 5 rpm to 9 rpm or whatever is the most the maximum amount of torque you can add. Do the same for "Turbo". Then. go to "Nitrous" and set the duration to 4 seconds. This will add both torque and horsepower to your ride.
Carbon fiber the entire car
Carbon your body kit, then put a wide body kit on it. The entire wide body will be carbon fiber. This will also give you a wider wheel base and should result in a lighter car.
Getting Easy Money 1
Collecting the little information logos around the city gives you money. You will receive $25 for each one. Additionally, listen to the other racers that periodically talk to you. They will say a general location in the city where you can find hidden races not shown on the map that are worth $850 instead of the usual $300.
Getting Easy Money 2
As soon as you start the game, ignore Rachel's request to go to the car lot. Instead, try to collect as many information icons as possible. This will give you that little extra money to start modding your car, and will save time as you do not have to look for them in your initially slow car. Also, enter the two races shown on your GPS (circuit and sprint races). Going in these two races will give you at least 500 points in the bank. You should receive a message to get to the car lot now. Do so, and continue playing the game.
Getting Easy Money 3
easy money at the beginning of the game there is two races one is sprint, the other is circuit. There is a hidden race in the alley where you find the second performance shop this should give you $350
Getting Easy Money 4
Hint: (Getting Easy money when starting out in career) when you start out in career, you get Rachel`s car, drive around a bit before you return her car, and eventually you will get a call from her friend with race info, then go to your world map and select any race, and drive there, but after she will get pissed and you have to return her car
