There's a small chance the episodes might come out when people stop asking for them.

I really don't mean any disrespect at all, But I'm curious, is it just me or did the subbing for 5&6 take longer to get out than 3&4 or 1&2? Any particular reason, something new about them or are they done in a new way?

" 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?"

do you guys not read the previous posts? atleast 2 pages back? [smiley=halalala.gif]

The engine in the AE86 in question is a Toyota Formula Atlantic engine out of a formula atlantic car. In real life, it is a highly modified 4A-GE with 13.75:1 compression, 304 degree cams, individual throttle bodies, the works. The car is mad tuned. If you could reproduce the work, and thats a big if, it would be very un-streetable. So therefore, it looks good as a work of fiction. Now, if in fact you could get one of these engines(fat chance, unless you build it from either the closest HKS parts you can find or you happen upon the real TRD parts...) and shoe-horn it into an AE86(its hard enough getting a 20 valve 4A-GE into one, but it can be done) and you had anywhere near the suspension tuning needed, it would be hard for a lot of cars to beat you. 250hp, 11k rpm redline, who could beat you? That is if you didnt get pulled over first from all the noise. Deafeningly loud. So loud that they are about one of the only formula cars that have to run a muffler of some sort.

So, do I find it hard to believe that it beat the Miata in the downhill? No, because the Miata, while a great car, did not have HALF of the engine that Takumi had under the hood. And neither did the EK9 CTR. Though, in terms, the EK9's engine is about the closest to Takumis tune wise out of all of them so far.

First time posters...

Please don't keep asking when the episodes are coming. They will be out when they come out.

Translation, Timing, Subtitling, Encoding, Distribution, ...etc... is time consuming, and difficult.  And they are doing this all free of charge.

Remember that these fine people (the Live-Evil group) are providing you with hours of free entertainment.

Enjoy the episodes when they come out, and help out by Seeding some torrents for the Group!

Shouji_Shingo, I have seen a drifting video with AE86 setup the same way that they have in the series.  Actually, they have more work done to it, since it is used as a race car.  But it was amazing, I saw the car and thought it was interesting, then the guy popped the hood and I couldn't believe it.  The engine was identical.

eh, my bad, didnt know:) first time posting. But i just can't wait, initial d is too good

[azndvl]

man im so desperate for initial d rite now, im gonna dump my g\f if she dont stop nagging me to go out, i just say to her fuck off im waiting for initial d lol. Iv been consatanly searching kazaa every 10 mins for it, but none have subs:(
But i do prefer L-E subs, as then are the best round at the mo:)

i live in NY and lately ive been seeing alot of S14s around.  whats the deal ithought they were japanese exclusives. Or maybe theyre just 240s with silvia badges.  i thought it was too expensive to import and convert the steering wheel.

Well you could get a front clip which includes everything most of the time including trans. You get the engine, ECU, wiring harness... various other needed equitment console, dashboard gauages in kilometers... trans so, its basically a drop in... dont know what the price would be it varys. It's alot fo trouble IMO to make it right handed... of course... it could be some 240's with the badges like you said. But, I've talked to a kid in Florida who has an imported 180sx... so IDK... unless they dropped major cash for one... it could be badged.

u really need to get ur priorities straight if u let ID get in the way of your women [smiley=antp.gif]

now that, that's out of the way... hippopotomoose odds are all the silvia's u've been seeing are just silvia body kits with a simple sr20det swap on 240s

[Shouji_Shingo]

I agree with the above two, they are likely just 1995-1998 S14 240SX's. All you would really need to do is change the badges. Converting to RHD is not hard either, if you bought a front clip. Im contemplating buying a single-cam Integra front clip and converting my Integra to RHD.

I think if any of the fansubbers who sub ID just post the status once in the forum, there would be much less arguing about the next episodes. Just "expect it in about a week/ 2 weeks" would be a good answer. I dont think any of us who asks you (fansubbers), want the exact date and time.
Or maby you just want us to drool ourselfs crazy in the desire for the next eps

Thank you L-E for all the great subs you´re doing!! Keep up the good work
