Initial D 4th Stage comments... - Archive Topic (Locked)
hellbent:
Hey no fair, I already posted that in the other 4th stage thread. Anyway, it true that there will be at least 2 more eps, hopefully more. (Remember Cowboy Bepop was only 13 eps, but got extended to 26 because of demand). it not uncommon in Japan for anime studios to do this. Heres what I can make of it, with my yet limited Japanesse.
Broadcast Schedule: 13th story, 14 story 4/16 (Saturday), 15th story, 16th story 6/18 (Saturday).
Hopefully they will extend to more than 2 or maube even a 5th stage.
Let us all pray to the car/anime gods together, so we shall see more ID.

--- Quote ---Roll cages as most of you already know are kind of mislabeled, a roll cage (if correctly implemented) stiffens the chassis to help protect the driver in an accident (and most of the time improves handling and lessens torsional body forces) , they are not end all be all fixes and will break (as in the case of the ~160 side impact). However, even in breaking they have absorbed a large amount of force (high carbon steel is tough shit) and still can be considered to do their job (probably saving drivers life).

Rally rollcages are STRONG. Not sure if anyof you heard, but the #1 driver for the Subaru US Rally team died in an accident. They hit a huge tree sideways at 80+MPH. The rollcage didn't even dent. Check out some WRC wrecks, the fact the drivers walked away from some of those wrecks (like when Tommi Makenin hit a wall and rolled down a cliff in Corsica) is a testiment to how strong the cages are built. They certainly earned their name in Rally.

Thanks for that highly technical review of Opel.
One question, What is wrong with driving housewives?

Do I feel some sarcasm around? ;)

They shouldn't be out of the kitchen, right? :P Haha, lucky my girlfriend doesn't read this, I'd be dead ;) (She works, I don't... Oh the irony)
Holden import Opels into Australia for sale under the Holden Badge, we also export the Monaro GTO to America as the Pontiac GTO (The new VZ Monaro has fully functional bonnet scoops... Woopde do :/... It has nostrils!)
The image of that car before is the same car that we call the Barina, little 1.4L DOHC 4 cylinder job. Over here it seems good practice to rice it up, with body kits, lowering blah blah blah... I've even seen one with a turbo!
One European car I wouldn't mind getting is the new BMW M5... Mmm :D They're nice, but apart from that, most of the cars I want are Australian made (Holdens), although the police here are now using WRX STi MY05's, EVO VIII's and Astra Turbo's (Not sure of the Opel name for them) as undercover cars... Simply because their normal cars can't keep up with the rice burners here (For a side note, the EVO's can't keep up with ANYTHING :P)

Did you guys get a watered down EVO in kangaroo land? 'cause our EVO's in the states haul like stink... And in britain they have a 405 bhp light weight edition...I believe it's called the EVO VIII MR (S-tune?) i dunno, but i saw it on top gear and it hauled ass.
BTW that Holden VZ monero, would that have the 6.0L LS2 or the old 5.7L LS1 under the hood? 'cause all of the new GTO's in the states have 6.0L LS2's.
