OK things aren't as rosy as it initially looks. While the Kit requirements and costs have gone down, they races where you could win the kits have been removed and now you can only win 2 of a certain type per day through the new Tuner Trials (unless you pay real cash for more) this could mean a LOT more planning to make sure you are aiming for the right grade part on the right day, plus 2 a day means if you are going for Blue or Purple Kits you'll need at least 2 weeks to get them!
For me this means I can't both go for Green kits for my M4 and Blue for my Mustang at the same time and with only 2 weeks to get them I'm out of time, luckily (for me) I've built up quite a lot of Blue Kits because I couldn't afford to fit them but not for every type but I have next to none green.
A secondary but minor compared to the above issue is a large increase of the part needed to fit with the Kit to perform the upgrade, 4 for green, 8 for blue and 10 for purple. Annoying but manageable.
edit - some additional things I've discovered:
ALL Car Series races that were till 10 mins ago listed at replay-able have been removed. This means getting the daily reward "Win 3 Races in Car Series" will be a lot harder if you've reached the PR levels of all the races.
Underground Chapter 3 race 3: If you've won all the blueprints for the Fiesta the car is removed from the prizelist with money placed there instead, however the old trick of winning this race after getting all the blueprints still works as you are guaranteed to win a Full Street Class part, worth $3000(green)-5000(blue) if you sell it. Worth doing as it only costs 1 unit of fuel. This happens on any blueprint race that you have all the blueprints for that car.
A Blue to Purple upgrade now costs:
$56,700 to install the 8 parts
$63,000 to install the 3 kits
$14,000* to rebuild the unit
$133,700 Total, much more reasonable.
* from memory when I did it an hour ago.
This is absolutely a better situation, I have to say the update took me by surprise - pleasantly by surprise.
You're not alone, mine did aswell. I refilled using 30 bars and so far, it's working.
I've run the event on just 5 star all blue parts and maxed car stars (on Mazda), and still was comfortable with all races. You don't need all Purple parts for the event.
Not possible - Mazda with maxed out blue parts and all blueprints maxes out at 628 PR and you required 638 PR to do the last race of the Mazda event, so you could not possibly have completed it with all blue parts (I have ALL blue parts and ALL blueprints for Mazda and maxed out at 628PR as did another responder in this thread). Considering when you upgrade to purple they lose PR and lvl (they go from 5 to 4 star and drop PR level from the 5 star blue parts they replace) you need to get several purple modules and upgrade them back to 5 star to get the required PR to complete the Mazda challenge. It is literally impossible to do it another way unless you are cheating.
Got all blueprints no problem, my RX-7 had enough power to win. So far, no problems getting the blueprints.
Screenshot your RX-7 and post it here please. The required PR for the last level of RX7 chapter (for 7 La Ferarri blueprints) was 638 PR and an RX-7 with maxed out Blue parts is only 628, I have it right here right now in my car inventory. So if you have higher than 628 with maxed blue parts please post a screenshot because either there is a bug or you have found a way to cheat the PR requirements. So again, please post a screenshot.
Here you go.
OK so there you go, you have 3 purple parts (2 at max level) and the rest are blue. You said you only had blue parts - you don't. As I have stated previously and as has been confirmed by another poster - it was impossible to complete the RX-7 La Ferrari challenge with just maxed out blue parts, you have to have some purple parts and that was the point of this entire thread (which I am not sure you have read) - the cost of upgrading from Blue to Purple (even in your case where you just have 3 parts) is well in excess of $1M which was impossible to do in the timescale we had for the tournament without spending massive amounts of real money on gold bars (and when I mean massive amounts I am talking well in excess of 500 Euros).
So please, next time read the thread and read your responses - it would have saved us both some time.
If you read again, I never wrote I had only blue parts, you did. I only said I had no problem getting the blueprints. So maybe you should have read it correctly.
Apologies I was responding to Algin79 originally in my original response starting with "Not possible"
He stated:
"I've run the event on just 5 star all blue parts and maxed car stars (on Mazda), and still was comfortable with all races. You don't need all Purple parts for the event."
I didn't recheck the username when you responded and got my wires crossed - apologies.
No worries 🙂
I don't have 30G I spent my last 90 on a premium crate to to get a purple muscle part for my mustang. But now I can't race either so the chances of getting my Mustang upgraded in time are getting slimmer and slimmer. Can't believe they haven't issued an update to fix this yet.
No apology, no compensation and they didn't even reset our fuel to full, they started us at 1. Not impressed.
Already working, downloaded 45MB of updates and everything is in order. Currently 124th in tournament.
its unbelievable that we cant use the razor cars for the La Ferrari special event.. i spend a lot of time to upgrade the Ford Mustang GT Razor and the BMW M4 F82 Razor .. and now for what? to upgrade again these 2 cars ... thats truly not fair .. i think im not alone..
Am currently on 709 for the Mustang but 23 blueprints from max level and only 1 purple part. the rest are all Blue 5 Star but no Supra to get the bloody kits - still 12 blueprints away from getting the La Ferrari ☹️ will miss 10 today through not finishing the Mustang Series.
I was hoping to get my last Supra blueprints today when my tournament store updated but it only gave me 3 instead of the 5 I needed and I have 5 slots in my Tournament Store unusable because they are ALL cars I already have completed so they have "Sold Out" tags on them. They need to stop putting blueprints for cars you already have maxed out in the Tournament store it is ridiculous.
So I won't be completing today - and given that I have no more Supra Blueprints for 6 days I won't be able to get the kits I need for the bloody M4 either.
Not happy!
