How on earth do you change the gear ratio in Street ROD II?

Go under the car and press "I". Then you could select one of yours diferentials.

I have never had my engine blow up... But my tires, yes. In the last area there is some pipes or ditch or whatever running on the ground leaving you with a very small area to use to drive on.

What I did back in the days was to test drive it and learn where to be exactly by saving before the race and reloading every time. The ditches don't move so you can end up finishing a race at top speed without crashing.

I thought maybe I just had overtuned it? You know where you can go in and adjust it?

IDK, I know even less about cars than I do about computers

I seem to remember there being a rev counter and a manual gear change in this game for certain cars you can only go flat out in top gear other wise you blow the engine.

I am afraid I cannot help you here for the same reason. I do remember beating the game without this problem though.

buy a differential from the parts section of the newspaper,

go under the car and click the diff to swap it

Hmm...I used to play this a lot - not sure if I ever beat the king though. The driving physics are pretty bad, but it's still a great game

Love this game. Love this game. Love this game.

The tips throughout the forum have been good. That speed bump/wet cement part of the mullholland is an absolute killer; even if you pass through it, you lose so much speed you get overtaken and lose.

The rest of the game is all good after enough practice. Go the Mercury Cougar!

Thanks to everyone who has posted about Street Rod 2. This game is one of the all time greats. Keep the posts rocking and rolling.

You don't have to slow to a crawl. Just be decelerating under 60 right as you pass the gray section. I beat it once. You have to do the PERFECT race, AND be lucky enough to be decelerating just at the right time to pass. I saved my game with with the best possible car with it freshly tuned. I would keep loading the game and racing the King over and over. It took my over 40 times to finally do it. I think the programmers screwed up making this strange part of the road to make it more difficult. No one seems to understand what it is anyway. I figure they beta tested the game and they found it was too easy for them to beat so they put in there an obstacle that you have to hit just right to get past. By the way, it can't be a speed bump because I have gone over it just barely moving and still crashed. Wet cement seems the most probable. Anyway, that is why I prefer Street Rod 1, I think the races are better.
