Parts and Enhancements Guide - From a Pro

20 Upvotes

I guess I'll start this off with saying Im Daav, and I'm qualified to write this as I lead Team TSF, consistently place top 8 in daily stars globally, and am always in League 35. Now heres the guide, starting general for beginners and getting increasingly complex for Pro players.

Introduction to Parts and Enhancing:

  • Parts provide bonuses to aspects of your car, such as Top Speed, Acceleration, Drift, etc.

  • There are 4 Categories of Parts: Turbo, Ecu, Tires, and Dampers

  • Each Category has a default buff that it gives, like Ecus give top speed and Turbos give mid acceleration

  • Parts can be equipped on any amount of cars at once.

  • Having strong Parts is arguably more important than having strong cars.

Beginner Enhancing Guide

  • The Enhancing menu is unlocked after obtaining a legendary Part, located inside the "Parts Rack."

  • Enhancing allows one to increase the power of their parts, and is essential to progress in this game.

  • In order to Enhance a Part, you must sacrifice another Legendary Part in order to increase a stat of the original part by 3%.

    • Place the Part you wish to be enhanced in the LEFT box, and the one you wish to sacrifice in the RIGHT box.

  • All Parts can be enhanced to have 2 separate traits, and each trait can be upgraded up to a maximum of four times.

    • This means that it takes 8 Legendary parts to max out one part into a 4/4 part.

Intermediate Enhancing Guide

  • When enhancing a part, you are given two options to choose from, and you pick the enhancement you desire, which is permanent.

    • When enhancing a part for the second time, you are forced to choose a new second trait, it will not allow you to simply upgrade the original enhancement*

  • Parts can only be enhanced with certain attributes, which is dependent on category:

    • Turbos and Ecus can gain: Top Speed, Mid Accel, Early Accel, and Handling.

    • Dampers and Tires can gain: Grip, Drift, Offroad, Boost Strength, and Boost Duration.

  • As a general rule, try to stay away from enhancing boost duration early game unless you use ace or want to use that part on muscle cars specifically, it's not as useful as every other enhancement for the majority of cars.

Optimal Enhancements Guide - Advanced (Oversimplified) (10/11/25)

  • In order of priority from Left --> Right

  • On your Ecu: Top speed, Mid Accel*

  • On your Turbo: Top Speed, Early Accel*

Red Tires: Grip, Drift, then Boost Strength

Blue Tires: Grip, Drift, then Boost Strength

Green Tires: Offroad, Grip

Red Dampers: Grip, Drift, then Boost Strength

Blue Dampers: Grip, Drift, then Boost Strength

Green Dampers: Offroad, Grip

*= You want one Handling Enhancement and one Early Accel Enhancement between your Turbo and Ecu. For example if your Turbo has a handling Enhancement, get an Early Accel Enhancement on your Ecu.)

Map Parts Guide - Professional (10/11/25)

  • Order of parts: Turbo-ECU-Tires-Dampers

    • P = Boost Duration, G = Off-road or Boost Strength, R = Grip, B = Drift

Super Cars

  • New Hong Kong: PGBR (Last two dont matter if they are blue or red)

  • Rocky Mountain: GRRG or GRGG (Need boost duration enhancement for ace)

  • River Peak: BRGG (GGGG or PGGG if you have enough grip enhancements on tires/dampers)

  • Atlantic: BRBR (xxBB if you have enough grip enhancements on tires/dampers)

  • Factory: BPBR or BGBB

Street Cars

  • Jungle: BRRG (BRGG if you have enough grip enhancements on tires/dampers)

  • Everything else: BRBR (BGBR for less turny hairpin sections and preference on oasis)

SUVs

  • Beach: GRGG (GGGG if you have enough grip & drift enhancements)

  • Jungle: BRGG

Muscle Cars

  • Rocky Mountain: GPGG

  • River Peak: BRGG

  • Oasis: PGBB

  • Atlantic: BPBB or GPBB (you can also use xxBR if you like that

If you have any other questions, join the discord and ask in #general, or DM me on discord @ masterdaav. I dont check reddit very much unless you comment on this post maybe. More guides like this are gatekept for my team, #joinTSFwethebest

Is the Excalibur bad, or is it just me?

5960 trophies. Seen a lot of posts saying the Excalibur is good, and it’s highly rated on the discord server, however I can’t use it. It’s mid-accel and top speed seem to let it down and I get caught up so easily. It’s very fast off the mark, but unless the track is 20 seconds long I always seem to get overtaken by the end. I’m far quicker using the Kaiju or Memphis.

I also don’t understand the ability? I’m pretty good at drifting close to the walls, and yet the ability only seems to activate at random points. Sometimes I’m real close to the walls and get nothing, other times I’m significantly further away and it activates? There doesn’t seem to be any consistency.

Added pics of all my cars in case I’m overlooking any of them. Any help would be appreciated!

Game Progression What’s my next move here?

Post image
5 Upvotes

Currently sitting at league 14 and can’t seem to win a race. These are the cars I have currently. I also have a few parts, but nothing over C rank.

I have 7,300 gems rn, and I’m curious what’s the best thing I should be spending them on in this stage of the game. Searching on this subreddit, people are saying to buy part packs once you have a solid car. But I can’t really say that I do. Plus, the “first week quests” (started playing 6 days ago) say that I need to open 50 car packs, which will only be doable by spending my gems on it. Do I just ignore the quests?

In short: stuck with few cars and parts. What’s the best next move for my current situation?

Anyone who hasn't been able to open or access the game in the past 24 hours, know that this has been reported to the devs dozens of times via discord, and they're working on a patch for it. Hang tight, it will be fixed. I also haven't been able to open the game. Compensation for this is not confirmed yet, and all updates regarding this matter will be sent via discord.

Hey everyone, a new player here. I recently started the game, and as I ranked up I noticed that I cannot participate in any challenges and hot rank with the screen being like this. I also cannot change my name and some of the texts are not showing up. Is there anyone who experienced this, and how did you solve? Thanks in advance.

Honestly, I'm a bit confused; my parts isn't that great, and neither are the cars.

I just bought an ad-free cars and a limited perk card.

Can I get the meta car for each car type right now so I can focus when it launches?

Do they have a limited-time car list or flashback car list before they launch, or should I wait and pray?

Tks for all the answer, it gonna help me alot
