Do we really need to SWEAR???

Yes, the concepts are pretty accurate, but I think the driver's skill is a bit overexaggerated.

You mean you CAN'T drift like that in your Hachi-Roku, Ted? Damn!

Hehehhee, I definitely take it with a grain of salt, but damn if watching it doesn't make me wrench on the RX-7 harder

yeah maybe the driving skill is a little bit exagerated,
but the story is a real success story of japanese pro driver tsuchiya

he bascially had a hachiroku and went on mountain to drive and drift everyday, and a racing shop ower found him on the mountain and then he became pro

also the animation movie is actually directed by him also, u can see his name when they are playing the song at the opening

Initial D is a Japanese Animation which talks about drifting, one of the main character drives a White FC(aka White Shooting Star), it worths to watch, make sure you get it with english subtitle!

hehe yeah I will admit some of the stuff is cheesey but it has a really good story line and it is fun to imagine drifting down akina in an FC with a Hachi Roku right on your taiL! Lol j/k it really is pretty entertaining though. AS far as l;aces to get it just hop on kazaa or winmx and start downloading them episodes

My '85 GT-S is BONE-STOCK with a 1/2" tailpipe!&nbsp This thing chokes at 80mph cause of the stock-type exhaust.

I haven't confirmed it yet, as '85s are rare with the factory LSD.&nbsp Driftin' without the LSD - you gotta be kidding me, right?

I'm looking for a Kouki (1986-1987) rear end to swap otu with mine so I can get the stronger components and better LSD design.

Phew, just making sure. While i finish my RX7 im borrowing my buddys gts hatch, slides like a champ. Looks like its straight from japan, i should get some pics of it up, the guy he bought it from was a english teacher that lived in japan, he had a nuts fc over their and came back to the us and bought a ae86, then he had to sell it cuz he was going back.

Advice for you Ini D fans out there, as opposed to blowing 80 bucks, download a copy of Morpheus (file sharing program) in the search field click the video Button and type in "Initial D", bam, both seasons and the third stage movie all right there(dont do this if you do not have a broadband connection)
