As stupid as this is, i'm still going to go on, all i was pointing out is that they were not wrong in saying "Silvia engines", as they DO come from a Silvia. Yes, the differen't chassis had differences in engines, i'm not saying anything about that at all. End.

 

then you shouldn't have posted becuase thats what i was talking about from the start. gg.

 

Considering you lived in japan for 8 years to you have a reason for that

 

wasnt this about initial d
not hachi's or silvia's
but whatever have fun
continue with the madness

 

all i have to say is if u like japanese cars and drifting than u will like initial D ........ u can download all the series from www.suprnova.org under misc in the anime section, just get a bit torrent first.

P.S. i know ppl in there 30's who still watch cartoons ,anime, etc... and still live normal lives, who said that you cant watch this kinda stuff when your grow up???

 

learn cool japanese words?

 

its cool and all that they made a cartoon about drifting and all, but ya, its not all that great

hey capt, its afganstanimation

 

haahaha some idiot on driftcentral started talking about actually having a gum-tape death match... seriously, how ridiculous can you get...

thats my only beef with the cartoon, that people take it too seriously. although they did make a lot of it surprisingly accurate (actual roads, actual engine sounds, actual chassis codes, etc.) its still a cartoon.

 

kudos to the creators for making such a great cartoon. but people need to understand that just because you've seen initial d or some option videos doesnt give you any right to add your $.02 to a conversation.

is it a good starting point??? yeah, i think its a nice intro to drifting and touge style racing.

 

not to get picky, but understand that takumis corolla had some upgrades on it that were never spoken of. he had non-stock wheels, and a lowered stance. chances are it had at least suspension done.

also, as far as him beating the skyline, that is very possible in a downhill racing scenario. the key at that point isnt as much power and more maintaing momentum and cornering faster. a lighter car with the proper setup can be extremely fast in the hands of an experienced driver.

which is what i think the point of the show is...you dont have to have something extremely powerful or lots of $$$ to compete...skill compensates for a lot of that. hachi bill could chase down most people on this board on a curvy back road regardless of what they're driving.
