The Nines have wired a bomb to D-Ice’s prized Infernus, and if it takes too much damage it will blow. Drive it carefully all the way to 8-Ball’s garage in Harwood to have the bomb removed, get it repaired, and bring it back to Wichita Gardens without a scratch.

Objectives

  1. Get to the garage, but watch out: if the car takes too much damage it will blow!
  2. Get the car repaired!
  3. Take the car back. It has to be in perfect condition, with no damage!

Rigged to Blow walkthrough

D-Ice’s car

D-Ice says that if he loses those wheels, his reputation on the street will be dead. The Nines wired a bomb to his Infernus. Let 8-Ball defuse it: the clock is ticking and the wiring is messed up.

The long drive to Harwood

The Infernus is parked nearby. A timer and a damage bar appear. 8-Ball’s garage is in Harwood, in the north of Portland, a long way from Shoreside Vale. Drive at a steady pace, avoid traffic and do not touch anything, because enough damage sets off the bomb. The tunnels from Shoreside Vale through Staunton Island to Portland are straight and quiet, so they are a good route.

Come out in Portland and head to 8-Ball’s garage in Harwood. Drive in and the door shuts while the bomb is removed. The car comes out safe, but the game tells you to get it repaired.

Repair and return

Drive back toward Shoreside Vale and use the Pay ‘n’ Spray in Pike Creek to repair the car. The objective then says it has to be in perfect condition, no damage. Drive the last stretch through Cochrane Dam and Cedar Grove to Wichita Gardens very gently, park in the marker and get out.
