Idea for inserting the acura RSX into european version.

Wolfheart · Post by **Wolfheart** » 15 Dec 2004, 14:58

HI, just surfing thru the utils and saves section I came across a savegame by Peppiof
which lets you start your career with an acura rsx... I was just wondering if he or some kind american rsion user would please upload somewhere the car folder, so that using this savegame we europeans could drive the RSX.

I think it would work, because it is basically the way those italian guys made their car changer...

Waddaya say?

I bought my game in the UK and have the RSX included.

I'm going to be outspoken here, but hey, that's me.

Why the hell do we need the RSX and Civic in the European version of the game? We've already got the best car IMHO.

I've just started using the Pugeot 106 GTI (a car I absolutely despise in real life, BTW)and my God, it absolutely rules in the game. I know its a bit unrealistic, but this car is more driveable than almost any other car! Or maybe I'm just better with it? Either way, this is quickly becoming my car of choice!!!

So you have the 106, Corsa and RSX? Hmm, how special can that be? That means the UK version & European version are a complete different story IMO!

1) Because I like it!!!

2) Overall is by far a more beautiful car than the corsa & 106
3) My intention is to insert it, not replacing any car.
4)C'mon... the more cars in the game the better... isn't it so?

I have a Peugeot and the RSX, no corsa, thankfully

DarrenR21373 · Post by **DarrenR21373** » 17 Dec 2004, 19:39

I agree wholeheartedly that the more cars the better. This was one of the major disappointing factors for me of this game - most the the cars tuned in the UK (and I guess Europe as a whole) are not in the game!! EA have a studio in Chertsey, Surrey FFS and they could easily have done some research into cars that are actually used. I've NEVER seen a modded Lexus IS200/300 (over here they tend to be company cars!) or ANY Lincoln Navigators or Cadilac Escalades at all, but I've seen shed loads of modded Ford Escorts & Fiestas & Capris, Fiat Puntos & 500's & 600's, Renault 5's & Clios, Vauxhall Astras, Calibras & Cavaliers & Vectras & Opel Mantas, and BMW 3 & 5 series. And, of course, Honda Civics. SUV's (if we must have them!) should have included the Range Rover, Land Rover (Bowler Wildcat - 'king sweet!), Toyota RAV4, Vauxhall Frontera and Isuzu Trooper as well as the 3 American buses.

My only comment was that having used the RSX in NFSU1, I found it cornered like an oil tanker, and therefore I don't miss it. I DO miss the Integra though, as it was my favourite circuit car. I guess, since these are pretty much the same car (or so I've heard!) it's just one more example of where EA effed up.

And if you don't have the Corsa, you are missing out on one of the best cars in the game IMHO.

As another Euro RSX fan I'd also be very grateful if someone could provide the RSX data so I can play through the game in my favorite car

Man, you can trust me. In real life that car is a bomb!!! (tiny pheraps, but always a tiny bomb!

) and the performance given by the dyno are quite exact (just 5kmh lower)

btw,
@wolfheart: I don't think you can add car but only replace them unfortunly

kronnos · Post by **kronnos** » 19 Dec 2004, 16:18

There's a file in the utils section of the site that adds the civic to the euro version of the game and it works a treat. You just need to add the Civic folder into the Cars directory and use a save game that starts you off in the Civic (as the car cant be bought from the lot).

I was thinking I could try something similiar if someone could provide me the RSX folder from inside the Cars directory in the US version of the game, there's already a couple of save game files around for starting off in the car so it's just a case of putting them together, I hope.

So if anyone could provide the zipped RSX folder from the US NFSU2 so I can try it out, it would be much appreciated

The IS300 is a model of the Toyota Altezza, which Nobuteru Taniguchi drives very well in the D1GP curcuit. In the USA, Escalades are the bling bling dubmobile of choice by rich rappers and the Navigator is just a similarly priced alternative.

I managed to obtain the RSX files and it works great, you can add the RSX to the Euro game (well definitly the UK version) in exactly the same way as the Civic.

Unfortunatly I don't have anywhere to host the files atm

look closer mate the Lexus IS tuned in the UK!
this is a Toyota Altezza (same as the LEXUS) scroll a few cars down and you will see it.

(it is a site from a nice shop in the UK that sales performance parts for toyota's!

the RSX is infact the NEW Integra. it is still called the HONDA integra in Japan (also imported in the UK!)
see the difirences....
Honda Integra Type-R:

Acura RSX type-S performance pack:

and I have to say I like the honda better... why... dunno...

DarrenR21373 · Post by **DarrenR21373** » 22 Dec 2004, 00:32

That Honda Integra Type R is gorgeous. I want one!! Not so keen on the RSX, don't know why, I think it's the colour though!

So, another car to add to NFSU3 (Euro version) then!

Oh and back to the Lexus - cheers for clearing that up Stig - I still haven't seen any tuned ones on the road here though - mind you, in the South of England, we seem to tune up BMWs and even Mercedes more - I've seen quite a few Brabus and AMG Mercs recently (very very expensive motors!)

ive got the 106 and it rocks, i though as soon as a new came in it would be better but im still using it. Its a great starter, who needs a civic

Post by **TheStig** » 24 Dec 2004, 07:12

if it was up to me... the new Integra would be the one...

and for some reason I like the Toyota Altezza more then when it is a LEXUS

weird eh?
as said same for the Integra/RSX... Rather have the Integra then the RSX

but the problem is... we got left hand drive and the Integra is Right hand drive (JAPAN and UK import)

Drewb99 · Post by **Drewb99** » 24 Dec 2004, 07:16

*doink* nevermind.

The SXE10 RS200's the best of the Altezzas and it isn't sold out of Japan, IIRC. The IS300 is a cheaper model (sold as the Altezza IS300), so you'd be wise to like the Altezza more.

909 · Post by **909** » 24 Dec 2004, 09:10

i agree with the stig

remember that japanese versions are intended for japan only. example, the Mazda brand of RX7 is called "Efini" in Japan... though its the same car

i see a lot of japanese verions here since we have a right-hand drive system like in the UK and in Japan, so a lot of Japanese-intended cars end up in our market like: toyota yaris (eu) = toyota vitz (jp).

civic and RSX look sweeter and better when modded and OWN J00

You must download the changer. that allow you tohave rsx & civic to eu version and 106& corsa to usa.

Wolfheart · Post by **Wolfheart** » 24 Dec 2004, 13:54

No, man, the changer just allows to insert the civic into the european version (tho it allos both corsa & 106 on the american).

Anyways, my old friends from carmageddon times already gave me the rsx folder, and combining it with a savegame it works great.

Next step should be making them available for buying at car lots, and making them selectable by the computer to have as rivals.

I can mod a Civic in the UK version in "Customize" using the Car Changer, without a save game file.

All you have to do is get a crack of the US exe (use 1.1, 1.3, etc. depending on your current patched version). The Civic is available by default, but the Corsa and 106 wont be available. So run the original exe if you want to mod them.

I guess the US version would work the same way for the Corsa and 106 using a UK crack!

I reckon the RSX would work in the UK version if you use this method as well, can anyone try it to see if it works? (I dont have the RSX files, and only have dial-up)

Thanks.
