Initial D 4th Stage comments... - Archive Topic (Locked)
Dapprman:
Waaahhh - I'm only after finding out how the work is going so I can get my fix. I'm only 5 weeks into my beginners Japanese cause so I'm sod all use as a helper.
However ... I've done 25 separate track days in my MX-5 (and 2 in the FD3), 8 or 9 of them with a supercharger on. I've mixed with all sorts of vehicles in all sorts of stages of tuning, so I am in a reasonable position to comment. With a tweaked suspension setup, there was little to touch my MX-5 on corner speeds excepting elises and the lotus-7 clones (caterhams, westfields, etc), I used to loose out on the straights, less so once super charged. Some cars are very good on the track, the Mitsubishi Evo 6, for one, is superbly ballanced (just a shame about the front disks warping very quickly), however other 'performance' cars do not. Now on gravel they may do well, and in a straight line they may be quick, but on the track, very little under-steers as much as a subaru imprezza turbo/WRX/sti. We're talking serious under-steer here. Net result is they are slow, have poor corner exit speeds and have a reputation for crashing as drivers ignore the no-racing rules and trying to keep up with others.
Now you've just reminded me I need to get the FD3 on the track for some serious fun (and yet another set of brake pads), so until then, here's to those volunteer translators we should be harrying ^^

--- Quote ---the civic type R and the miata are one of the best fwd drive chassis' on the market today.
theyre great cars for track racing which is what initial D is all about.
You dont see Takumi and his Dad lining em up at a red light.
If initial D was all about drag racing, you think Takumi would be driving an 86 model toyota corolla?
seriously... i bet none of you even drive a half decent car let alone know about cars. your arguments arent based on anything...
"just plain suck sucketty suck suck suck....... sucka."
your a faggot dude. who talks like this cept when theyre scoring a tranny prostitute.
ill keep it simple... i mite get one of you kids confused.
how can you compare a 1.6L 4 cyl naturally aspirated honda motor to a 2.0L 4 cyl boxer motor thats turbo charged?
Most of you would have never even see a civic type R in your lives.
you cant compare a Civic type R to your moms base model civic.
its like comparing an GX impreza to an impreza WRX STi.
so many racer wannabes out there nowadays.
i hate that movie the fast and the furious.

--- Quote ---hey, krazykunt you just lost all credibility...Miatas are RWD, seems to me like you're the idiot :-*
--- End quote ---
thats not all he's missed... the STi is a 4 cylinder 2.5L TurboCharged Boxer... the Vanilla WRX is the 2.0L... krazy u sure got the idiot part down...
secondly civics are decent... they're not bad and they're not the greatest... don't make them out to be some uber godly shit... yes 9000 rpm's is sekshi...
third Miatas are also pretty decent... its one of the few remaining rwd cars for under 30k... they're weight ratio is awesome...
finally supra sayian u also just lost your credibility as well... the desert = temperate extreme climate zone.... at night the desert is damn cold... and in the winter... it hardly ever goes above 70 degrees faranheit which means average temps are in the low 50's... i dunno what it is in celcius or i woulda converted it...

I hope Initial D is not licensed

Chai, u do realise that the japanese STis are 2 litre engines? Correct me if i'm wrong but only the North American STi models are 2.5 litre. I know for a fact that Australian STis are 2 litre engines as are the japanese models (other than the 22b)

I understand that at night, the desert is cold and during the day when the sun's out, its hot. Unless in america there are magical deserts that are always cold
You tell me...
