Hints
Customize car
In the 1977 Era, go out of your safe house, then turn right. Then keep on straight until you find an alley way. In it you can find a place where you can customize your car with new wheels, body kit, side skirts, front, bumper, etc. Note: It is not available in the 2006 Era.
To customize your cars for less, successfully complete the game then choose the car or bike store at Rays. If it is for the 2006 era go to the 1977 era then customize it for ten times less money.
Prison Transport Bus
During the Jail Break mission, you must drive a prison transport to the prison. When you get there, a gate will open Stop in the way of the gate so that it cannot close, and do not completely enter. There should be a gray school bus to your left marked "Prison Transport System" on the side. Get into it, drive to the garage, and store it. Quickly get back to the prison and into the transport. The mission will continue as usual, but you ,ust break through the rest of the three gates yourself. They are easy to break; just drive through them. Note: This vehicle is only available once.
Get car on flatbed
Find a ramp near Hunts Point. Park the flatbed next
to the high side of the ramp. Then find a car from the road and
drive it off the ramp onto the flatbed. Note: Sometimes you will
not be able to get out of the car.
Easy money
Win a circuit race without hitting the wall or the other racers to earn a $10,000 clean driver bonus.
On your third mission where Ray asks you to collect $1,500 and deliver the money to his Auto Shop in La Guardia, enter the La Guardia Circuit Race. Win first place under any difficulty setting. Upon completion of the race, the Circuit will close and you will not be able to race again. Save the game (provided that the autosave feature is turned off) and restart the mission. The La Guardia Circuit Race will then be re-opened, but you will retain the money you won from the last race. Repeat this to continue earning as much money as desired. Once you have the money you need, return to Ray's Auto Shop and to the green marker to make upgrades to your cars. This makes it easier to win the La Guardia Races. To complete the mission and continue the game, have at least $1,500 and go to the yellow marker at Ray's Auto Shop at the start of the mission.
