Holy C**p that "race" between bunta and takumi was kick a**.  Granted, I enjoy it more because it's a GM8 (WRX STi coupe, V5) doing it, but it's still cool.  And can someone who understands the raws please tell me what's up with those 2 in the black RX-7? and the S15 guy too.

Definately cant wait for the subs, and need to watch #8.

Everybody dies at the end, huge car crash. The shows true meaning is to teach you want happens when you race.

takumi owned episode 7 and keiske owned 8.  the way it should always be.  8 is a classic as well as 6.  Music is an  awesome change from what we usually get but i dont want the fast paced music to ever stop.  No spoilers anymore please... lets be considerate of the other half that can wait and dont understand japanese.  PEACE!

Its weird, but 4th Stage ep 7-8 is out for raw? I hope the Live-Evil is gettin to work cuz ep 7 is showin Bunta's car racin TAK! I thought the eps wouldn't be out till Dec but oh well I bet all Initial D fans are lovin it=)

[Usagi_Yojimbo]

Maybe you guys know something I don't, and you're "probably" right, but we don't actually see Bunta in the STI, only the driver's mouth, and the previous conversation between Bunta and his mechanic didn't say a specific model only mentioning AWD and that he doesn't like the Wing, and while the intro shows Bunta in a Scooby, we still can't say for sure it's him.

read the manga, played the game, the STI is bunta. no doubt about it

[tooocool49723]

Yes, the STi is bunta, I know it only showed his mouth, and no it didn't have a cigarette in it, but still, it was bunta.  Notice how after the racing shot they showed the tofu shop and it was empty?

Besides the only other AWD  cars would be the GTR skyline (which he says is too heavy) the Evolution, which has already been beaten, and the scooby WRX STi Type R (2-door = type R).  

It's either a v5 or v6 STi too, you can tell from the front bumper.


Now i just wish I knew what the hell they were saying.  It's amazing how much of the story you can follow just by watching the animation, even though you dont understand the words.

hey but did anybody know why Japan view ep 7 & 8 so early?  I mean ep 5-6 was only shown in Sept or late Aug, and its only Oct rite now, shouldn't the new eps be viewed around Nov or Dec?  lol or maybe ppl in Japan made complaints how they waited too long for just 2 eps every other month

[Supra_Saiyan]

august plus 2months = october

from memory 5 and 6 were aired on the 21st august, and 7 and 8 aired on the 16th october

anyone know what what kind of car that grey one was that takumi raced. it looks quite familiar but i just cant quite put a finger on it

[tooocool49723]

the grey/silver car was an S-15 Nissan Silvia.  Iketani's/kenji's car plus 2 models (theirs are S-13 and RPS-13 respectively)

[Usagi_Yojimbo]

Were all 180sx, 240sx Sylvia's in japan. and again your probably right about the scooby, but  I was thinking Bunta would go with a decked out RS because he said he didn't want a wing (thus no STI)

[DrDubbleB]

The 180sx was just that in Japan...a 180sx.  It came with a CA18DET engine (1.8 litres) as opposed to the Silvia's SR20DET (2.0 litres).

[SiL-080]

awesome thanks guys

The 180sx was just that in Japan...a 180sx.  It came with a CA18DET engine (1.8 litres) as opposed to the Silvia's SR20DET (2.0 litres).

dont forget about the 240sx's KA24DE motor here in the US
