If anyone has bought the Beetle as there first car and bought all the engine upgrades you will find that when you have clean oil you have 321 BHP. I noticed with this the car wouldnt rev very well below 2000RPM. The car wasnt much better than the 276 BHP it had before.

Before one race I went in changing parts to see the BHP figures and how they change when I put on lower grade parts. When I came to the Sports ROM I changed it to normal and the BHP went from 321 to 332. The car became alot better and felt like the 276 BHP model I was driving earlier but of course that extra bit faster. So for if your Beetle is pushing out 321 BHP with clean oil change the ROM to normal. Maybe this may happen with other cars.

When you have the race screen up( The one with race, qualify e.t.c). Go to Settings. This allows you to change parts or adjust settings e.g. Ride height e.t.c. So before a race you can change tyres or maybe the Turbo or whatever. I dont think you can change parts in your garage as I havent seen the button that links to it.

you might think this is a stupid question but where do i change the things you have mentioned below.

Also has anyone got the Suzuki Escudo, this was my favourite car on GT2 but the one that ive won just cant turn, its got to have the worst handling ever, even worse than the dodge. well is this what the car is like or has the one that ive won been changed.

GT one race car RULES

I didnt spend any time researching the Beetle. It was my first car and like all the cars I will buy and have bought in previous GT's, I tune them up fully buying every part.

I had just got Stage 3 NA tuning for the Beetle and started driving and it didnt feel great. I went into the change part section just to see what bits added what BHP and then I found out that the Sports ROM didnt really work all that well with Stage 3 NA tuning, so I changed it to the Normal ROM.

When I had the Sports ROM fitted the RPM counter showed that below 2000 RPM the engine couldnt get up to speed as the needle would move very slow like previous cars I had own in GT1 and 2. So I think that if you get a unresponsive Rev counter like this when you tune it up then there may be clashes in the parts. Its not very hard to figure out which one as you just swap and change the parts untill you get the best BHP.

kingklik I wont be buying a EVO 6 just yet as I really want the 22B for the 4WD championship. I will get one in the future but not yet.

Gee, you've really researched that Beetle, adrian! I dread how long you would spend playing the game for if you did the same for every car! But, if you've got the time, could you check out the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI?
