[TNH001] CAREER TIPS
--------------------

* For starters, start with TUNERS. They are user friendly.

* To earn more money, hire Neville and Sampson at the same time.

* When buying performance parts and if you have Yumi, hire her 
(temporarily) and upgrade your car to have the discount. Same goes for
Nikki when buying for a new car.

* Remember that starting a NEW GAME from a GAME OVER will allow you to
keep your unlocked goodies and all your hard worked rewards cards and 
challenges. The only thing is that you start a new game without money or
anything. But hey, you can buy really powerful cars early!

* If you are playing the Collector's Edition (Because this guide is made
for that version of the game) try to complete a Challenge Series event 
that will unlock the Nissan 240 SX. Its a really powerful car that you can
acquire as early as possible. Note that its a T1 car, that costs only
18000 credits. You can even upgrade it to the max early in your career.
This is the car I used to clear 3 territories and some easy T3 races.
If tuned properly, this baby can even overtake KENJI's RX-7, ANGIE's 
Charger and Wolf's DB9 on canyon races!!! Its a great all around car :)

* Shortcuts can either be your friend or foe. Unless you are approaching
clean to a shortcut, dont make so much effort to take them everytime since
you will just get stuck most likely.

* USE PURSUIT BREAKERS whenever you are ahead in the race. Specially if
your rivals are following closely behind you.

* Crew members are your allies! Learn to use them well (refer to the
section above for further tips on using them) and even support them if 
they have the lead.

* Decide what you'll buy or not. Money is hard to earn in this game. Do
not buy anything that fancies you. Remember, when selling a car you will
only get only HALF OF ITS BASE PRICE. All upgrades invested on the car
will be lost. 

* Try to prioritize winning races that unlocks PERFORMANCE PARTS. Not just
performance parts but HI-level parts as much as possible. IF you have 
fitted your car with street upgrade packages, and you later unlock and
want to upgrade to pro or racing packages, THERE WILL BE NO TRADE INS.
You will buy the packages NEW. So its a good idea to stick with your 
fully upgraded car until you notice that it can't keep up anymore.

* If you want extra money, accept crew challenges.

* If you want to test a car's max capability before buying it, you can
go to the MY CARS options in the main menu. Here, you can upgrade and
customize it with all the parts you have unlocked so far.

* Its a good idea to complete the Challenge Series early in your career.
This will give you access to more cool unlockables in career mode.

* As much possible, try to win the easier races first such as the 
checkpoint and sprint races. Try to win territories since they also
unlock upgrades for your car also.

* Its better to wait for Rival crew members rather than to look for them. I
already confirmed that if you stopped (preferably in the middle of the road)
within 1-2 minutes, a rival racer will challenge you.

* Extra impound markers and Getting out for jail Free markers will be the 
most useless bonus markers you can get from boss battles. As much as 
possible, try to get PINK SLIPS and CASH.
