I am pretty sure this has been done before but... Has any1 seen a Replica of Ry's FC? I only ask cause I plan on making one myself. I am trying to find all the Decals on his car but I can make them out. I tried searching the web but I still can't find it. If any1 knows of a Replica of this car please PM me.

IF YOU DON'T LIKE INITIAL_D THEN PLEASE DON'T POST IN THIS THREAD SAYING HOW GAY THIS IS.

DUDE I love initial D!!!

And I sawed a replica chillin in L.A...... Pasadena/Azusa area.
Maybe they went to Azusa Pacific University?
It looked pretty clean.

Why the hell is Ry?

There's like 100 people who have replica's of Ryosuke's FC... but there are two versions, the manga version with stickers from real companies, and the anime with a bunch of made up crap (albeit they're easier to find).

Search this section for the pictures. Tons around here.

well i got the toy model and on the model it says in this order
Highway Star(yellow)
EXPRESS( white box in blue box)
SHIFT DOWN( normal black letters)
Power Max (bold letters)
MAX SPEED ( red small leter on molding)

This the one you mean?

I've always hated those wheels. Don't do it. You'll get made fun of.

Watanabes are sexy.

You call that getting made fun of?



This isn't my car by the way. Just know the guy who owns it.

Watanabes were not the only wheels seen on the FC from Initial D either. You can see that the car switches wheels between the stages.

From what I remember the FC has:

Work Meister/SSR SP1 in 1st Stage
Watanabe RS8 in 2nd/3rd Stage
Mazdaspeed MS01 in 4th Stage

Work Equips also in the Live Action Movie.

Yes this is the one I plan on Replicating. You know the Person? Are they on the forum?

Thanks I really appreciate it.

Is there any Specific Body kits or anything that I should know of? To the best of my knowledge Ry has a Stock body on his FC. But I could be wrong. I didn't think I would get such a huge response so quickly. Is it a Pearl white or White or White and silver blend?

Is he on the Forum?

It's and S5 TII. Stock Body. Odula/FEED Front lip Lip. Not sure of the paint any white would do well. I believe Ryousukes FC puts down about 280hp

This is the owners myspace, http://www.myspace.com/luckycharms44 Not sure if he's on the forum or not

I was about to ask the HP numbers I was told 185-200 but I am not sure. I don't think he used a Turbo. He just maintained his car really really well and made adjustments when necessary.

stock turbo.

On Wikipedia it just says RX-7 but it must be a Turbo II. Turbo II are the onlys to have that hood? I am new to the RX-7 game so I really don't know.

You wouldn't happen to know the fonts and sixes would you?

Nah the engine is modified. According to the serie, his FC was outputing around 350hp for uphill/downhill but was detuned to around 280hp to reduce turbo lag and make the car easier to drive for his battle against Akina 86.

The stock S5 turbocharger could never reach 350 hp by any means.

I am going to shoot for 280 anything higher than that is great. I don't want to run a Turbo is I don't have to though. From what I have Turbos= More problems

You can't make 200 on an n/a with out an extreme port job. Which'll cost you the same if not more than a turbo.

What would you suggest? Take into mind This is my daily Driver. What would be more reliable and produce better results? Crazy Port Job or a Turbo?

Ry's car is not a TURBO II, there are no TURBO II in Japan, there is only INFINI, GTU, GTX, GT-LIMITED , GTR. And all have savanna stickers on them.

Oh and his car is right hand drive.

T2
------
-stock drive train is good to go
- easy to make power( exhaust, porting street port? , turbo , intercooler, stand alone ecu, higher flow injectors, etc)
- Cost you alot but worth it.
- would not recommend as a daily, unless completely stock and running on stock boost and 87 octane.

N/A
-----
-anything pass 200hp in the motor will slow tear apart and break down the tranny and rear end. It can't with stand the power
- in my view its not worth investing if its not within your power goals
- good daily if maintained. okay mileage in the city and good on the freeway.


BOTTOM LINE
- you can make a show Ry car

but if you want to make a Ry show and go FC GO TURBO!
