Initial D
 

ANyone else watch it? If not I suggest you do its fucking awesome!

i recommended watch the comic also

they explain concepts and stuffs much better

Do we really need to SWEAR??? :eek:

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

Which episodes have the FC in it?

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 :)

What is Initial D? I keep hearing about it, but I have no idea what it is! Where can I find it?

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!

Anyone have it? I got some $$$ to blow! I LOVE ANIME!!!

go ebay, type "Initial D"

Here's a pic

Yeah, Ebay has a bunch of guys selling these, around 80 bucks for the whole thing. Definitely worth it

:biggrin:

red sun FC
booya!
:D I hope the movie doesn't come to US. Don't want everyone and their mother trying to make sil80s, buying FDs, and Hachis and ebrake drifting/wrecking every fawkin turn.

Hey I want to make a Sileighty fool! :)

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

i just bought stage III, the movie on ebay. it has the Evo III, FC, and MR2 all against the Hachi Roku! i cant wait to get it! :)

Your kidding right? ;)

Yes,I was being sarcastic.. Although I've got sequential pics of a 240Z doing pretty much that kind of drift at Sears Point's turn 7..

Haven't got the codec yet, but I just downloaded all three stages, and I just bought the model of the white FC!

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? :D

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. :D

Phew, just making sure. :D 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. :(

Enjoy :D

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)

Almost forgot to ask, are you guys sayin that you can get an AE86 over here in the US!??! The Toyota Sprinter Grand Trueno??

well u can get any car to the us if u have money

but the american version of the trueno is the corrolla GTS here, same chassis and rear wheel drive layout
