Get away from police
To get away from any cop during a pursuit, drive into
the showroom parking lot. Park in the corner where the wall is
located. The cops will circle but not find you. Wait until your
meter reaches "Evaded" and you will be all clear.
Drifting the Sprinter Trueno
Learning to control this car will rack up massive respect
points. Before entering a corner, tap your brakes and release
the gas. Point your wheels in the direction of the corner and
angle your car for the exit. Ease on the gas to bring yourself
through the corner. You can easily achieve Kensei Drifts, Braking
Drifts, Jump Drifts, Feints, and Two Wheels using this method
and car combination.

Test new unlocked cars without paying
After unlocking a new car and saving the game, remove
your memory card and proceed to upgrade it fully. If the car is
not as good as your current one, or you do not want it, just restart
your game. To keep the car without restarting the game, re-insert
the memory card.
Body kits
Although in real life, body kits were originally designed
for aero-dynamics (to reduce wind resistance, thus making your
car move faster), this is not true in the game. The body kits
weigh down the car more, thus reducing your top speed. This can
be as little as 10 mph to as much as a 25 mph loss, which can
obviously be the difference between walking away with someone's
ride or losing yours. Do not put body kits on your cars. They
do not add to respect, will slow you down, and makes your car
cost more to repair.
