Where in Penang?

2 in gurney, 2 in queensbay, 2 in butterworth.. If the other forum is correct.
Got news that Times Square has the machines already and it's newer version that Sunway or Cheras leisure mall. So your time attack will be erased and dunno what other stuff will change. Some ver 1.1 upgrade it seems.
------------------
Hoho.. ytd nite 1st time on the IDAS ver.4 game. Spent Rm 78

in total to play and get a card. man.. this is expensive.

Did a few in store battles as well but too bad, if you win you won't get a free continue. completed LOTS myogi cause its a peculiar track.
Too busy looking at the new screens that I forgot the timer to select car

. So end up buying the new Subaru GDBF! haha. Later in the game.. timer 30 seconds to pick and choose which rims you want to change. Really pressure to select 1 out of the 14 choices there, see the timer counting down. haih..
The machine overall is nice.Love the widescreen! 2 coin slots top and side, more cushion on the seats and hopefully no more lower back bruises I got from ver.3 machine. Like your portrait on the card (miss the nice pictures of the old though). Tuning is so much better that the old, with so many options to choose even if you just played a few rounds. Like the new details on the track. Akina lake looks nice, haha.. feel bad speeding in town as you pass shops and buildings on the side. I noticed a small red shrine on iro, so you might want to stop at the side and pray for good luck
The speed of the game is more like ver.2, faster and abit more insane than ver.3.
huh??
Blur doing 1st few run. Really confused trying to take corners and preoccupied trying to soak in the new graphics, new gear lever position. I'd swear i tried to change gears but grabbed only air a few times only to realize the shifter is placed lower, more like a real car.
Worst thing is the random loss of grip particularly on Myogi with those long sweeping corners. Suddenly while taking a corner, your car feels like it hit something on the road and you understeer and slide out. I thought i hit the sides initially, but then the same thing happened while I am clearly on the center of the road. I asked a few other ppl there, Evo IX, DC2 all faced this same thing. I tried to lift off accel when it happens, helps abit as the car regains grip faster. Tried braking and the car abruptly oversteers or suddenly twitches into a different direction. Hmm.. Subaru would be sued if their real cars had this problem.

have to find out a solution, otherwise this is bad for battles.
I can understand abit about the car losing speed going up hill, but it feels the same going down hill and the car can also lose speed in the flat straights. New car, so i do wonder if Sega purposely cacat the stock cars so that there is a clear different between a full tune and stock.
It's now easier to overtake compared to v3. The following car seems to built huge boost. I won a few battles by giving the lead to the other car in the 3rd checkpoint to built up boost and then overpower them by a big distance in the last cp. I also lost a few cause as I was leading from the 3rd cp and on the final straights, the back car just whizzed past me like I was standing still, even if i tried hard to block.
Irohazara, I dunno whether to call it a joke or finesse..mindless roller coaster ride . Me and others watching laughed when kai's mr2 crashed with a players's evo in mid air! hahaa. Sparks flying around.
Overall fun game. Relearn many things and can throw away some you learnt from v3.
