Well depends what you mean by S14, S14a is a 95-96 nissan 240SX which was offered in US then there was S14b which was the 97-98 model of the 240SX in the U.S. the only one not offered in america was the S15. Unfortunately the S14 (all the 240's in actuality) were all offered with a Natural aspirated 2.4L 4 cylinder 155hp motor. YOu can do the Jspec motor swapr prob for about 5,000 at a shop or about $3,000 you do it yourself

i need to watch the new eps of initial d, im starting to watch porn more frequently! i need to stop getting back to that habit, anyways my next car gonna be a 240sx. im considering getting a 91/92 or 98. My question is 91-92's 240sx couples lighter then the hatchbacks?

Though I don't believe there should be a car discussion in the middle of the Initial D thread, to set the record straight there's no such thing as an S14a.  The two models are an S14 ( 95-96 ) and an S14b ( 97-98 ).  It's a common misconception though.

Keep up the good work, Live Evil, I can't wait for the new episodes to come out! ^^

Edited to get rid of that stupid smiley that was put in after the 98. -.-'

that's not funny man
is L-E dead or something now? cause they haven't seem to have updated their news on the home page??

[lifesaver]

episode 5 and 6 is amazing

[Evolution]

I don't think L-E is dead, as it says they were recently busy at Otakon and there were news updates since then. As mentioned people have educational commitments starting around this time of the year as well.
L-E has already issued a statement (I think) reguarding eps 4 + 5 in this thread and it has quoted a few times too.  I am reminded of the expression, the watched pot never boils. Its all good, as far as I know, L-E is still fansubing initial D so we just need to step back and chilax and let the good people at L-E do their thing

Again, if there is any help needed that doesn't require one to be fluent in japanese, I'd like to throw my hat in the ring: editing , distributing, a quick $5-10 to someone's paypal address...

re: AE86 vs. MX-5 Miata, you guys bring up a good point: tuning a car is much different from throwing parts at it. Hats off to person who mentioned that Takumi's car has better suspension setup.  The 250hp Formula Atlantic motor has too narrow of a powerband to be of much use, in my opinion. In one of the previous episodes (near the end of stage 1, I believe), the guy with the turbo levin mentioned that Takumi's motor was a 'race engine tuned for street-racing,'  I seriously doubt it would be making 250hp in street trim, you'd kill your midrange power.

For all of the aspiring drifters out there (personally I'm not willing to risk breaking my beautiful car) there are tons of safe environments to learn car control at, especially in SoCal: www.driftday.com is one of them, and I'm sure fellow fans can chime in with more.


PS, anyone who's watched the 5&6  eps raw, notice that Keisuke's motor is back to stock? No more chrome bling in there, compare it to stage 1's engine bay shots.

Please read the previous posts before posting a comment such as that...

Does anyone happen to have subs for Ep. 5 & 6?.

Thanks

[Mudda]

What comment??

[angelan]

Mudda....THESE type of comments....

Does anyone happen to have subs for Ep. 5 & 6?.

Thanks

ESP when they are answered OVER and OVER again....take the time to skim at LEAST one or two pages back

Episodes 5 and 6 are on indefinite hiatus until certain people decide that they should show up and do the work they originally promised to do. They're pissing off the people who worked hard to get a "fast" release for once this time.

How's that?

[Mudda]

Thanks for clearing that up.
