    Need For Speed

    Anyone playing NEED FOR SPEED? Which one?
    My favorite is porsche unleashed but currently playing NfSU2, beat the game once already and started a new profile to get different cars. Currently I have an rx8 with unique carbon wing, unique turbo, unique graphics and all stage 2 mods and some other stuff. Two more URL races, 12 more of my choice and I get a new sponsor, another free car and level 3 engine/turbo etc.. Anybody know whats up with the unique turbo? I remember it boosting to MAX 30psi in my other profile, I'll have to load that up today and check for sure but does anyone know if there something I need to get before doing the unique turbo so it will boost to 30psi? Right now it just has a little spike in torque around 4k

    ok yeah just finished my second sponsor requirements, saved then restarted my old 100 percent save game to check on that turbo boost thing. I guess I have replaced the unique turbo with a level 3 turbo on my old car n that's why it goes to 30psi compared to my unique turbo on the new game save.. BLAH memory sucks.

    I play NFS. I played underground and Most Wanted. I can't wait for carbon fiber. I tried to install NFSU again...but according to the installed it's already installed because of Most Wanted...and I'm not taking one off for the other.


    I'm glad I'm not the only one who plays NFS these days....everyone else I talk to USED to, or they play WoW or CS or something else like that...

    I still have needforspeed 1 and 2 but the discs got scratched favorite drive was the mountain track with the ford gt or mclaren, lot's of speed after the straight by the beach before the sharp right hander hard breaking, then hard gas up the hill through the s's past the cottage and over the hill, then I could pickup some serious speed on the way down the hill, break for the right hander leading into a short straight before that raised part of the road that leads to the 90 degree right hander then left into the tunnel s's then finishline. If you didn't break just right after going over the raised part of the road you'd cary too much speed to make the 90 without scraping the wall so I'd drift into the 90 instead of breaking. I havn't played that game in at least 5 years, still remember the track fairly well but couldn't remember this other game's turbo variations :P

    you could try changing the registry entry and file name of your previous install from speed.exe to speed2.exe to see if that will let you install the new version, after that change the registry and file name back, as long as the new version doesn't use the same registry key it shouldn't have any problems with the file target after switching back..

    actually there's no need to change the installed file name on the hard drive, just change the registry entry speed.exe to speed2.exe, load your other title's installation, after that go back to speed2.exe in the registry and rename it to speed.exe, all is well.
