Samantha's Car

Unlock all of the Vinyls by getting enough Style Points. Fill it up one more time to get her car.

Eddie’s Nissan Skyline

To get Eddie's Nissan Skyline get about 3,000,000 style points in drift mode. thats the easiest way to do it.

All Visual Upgrades

To unlock all visual upgrades for single and multiplayer mode, simply complete Underground mode.

Nitrous Blast

Tap the nitrous button before the race starts, when all the cars are revving their engines on the starting line, to blow a puff of nitrous smoke.

Flip Cars

First "draft" a car until your front bumper touches the opponent's rear bumper, then hit the Nitrous and your opponent's car will be flipped.

Easy Drag Races

Having a hard time completing a drag race? Strip your car of every performance upgrade except handling and brakes. Your opponents will automatically do the same thing. This makes it easier to make a perfect shift everytime. This will work in all races except the ones that say you have to have a fast car.

Easy Style Points

If you want to get a lot of style points, just keep playing on a drift course that gets you alot of points. Even if you come in first, you can keep replaying the level and you will keep gaining style points. This allows you to unlock all the decals paint jobs early in the game.

Money Mayhem

Play through Underground Mode as you would usually do, unlocking a good amount of cars and performance parts. This is just your initial investment (or 'seed money') for the trick.

Save the game. Then buy and modify the VW Golf to the maximum and trade it in for the Honda S2000 for a gain of about $1500. Take the Honda to the garage and demodify it (strip the parts) and trade the Honda for a Skyline (and a loss of about $3000). With the Skyline, you can now trade for the VW Golf for a gain of about $10,000. You can repeat this car laundering until you have enough cash for your dream machine.

Points for 360 in Drift

When you are in drift mode you can get some extra points for doing doughnuts. Hold one direction and the handbrake and gas and let go of the handbrake after a second. You'll just sit there and do doughnuts. This won't get you massive points but it's something.

Extra 150 Style Points

At the beginning of a race, tap your NOS button (if you have any equipped) to do a NOS purge, and you will get an extra 150 style points.
