Ok, the newest opel cars are better, but the Corsa you talked about is the worst. I've never before driven a car that is so uncool! The engine is crap, weak, not revving, the cassis is unsafe and soft (believe me, i have seen SOME wrecked Corsas, sometimes only stripes of metal left), the quality of the whole car is just poor. The only good thing you might possibly find is the low price and the low fuel consumption. (Good for driving schools?)
Well, I dont want to offend anybody who is drinving an Opel, but choosing it to make it a race car doesnt make sense to me. There are far better cars as a platform.

The guy isn't that dumb. He actually made a rollcage and reinforced the chassis from the car. And he knows the risks he's taking with such car

Opel sucks, really! And 303HP on that tiny little car is just crazy! Why not using the money and buyning another car, maybe one that is not mainly driven by housewifes?
Oh man, i really dont get it. Of all cars... a Corsa!

Correction, Opel doesn't suck. We have one here, and until now, we didn't have one problem with it (Opel Zafira). And the main reason for him using a Corsa, was that he had it falling apart, and it is an actual funny project to make. Come on, 3 of the strongest cars in HP in Portugal are small cars (Civic aka Boo!, Corsa Turbo and 205 Turbo).

And where is the Corsa driven by housewifes? Around here, the number of male Corsa drivers surpasses the female drivers. And oh, if Opel sucks, why 90% of driving schools here use Opel cars?

And Opel has the currect record for the fastest Minivan and fastest hothatch

Ok, now making you talk about other cars besides Jap cars.

A friend of mine is an owner of a Corsa (Stock photo here: http://www.corsaturbo.com/recursos/2002/08.19/1.jpg ) that is now with 303HP on his front whells, that makes it quite difficult to make turns with this car.

So, here is his last stuff he is trying to install on his Corsa:





A 4X4 system from a Calibra Turbo If he succeds on istalling this, his car can go up to 500HP

So wait a second, I'm a newbie and I'm having a hard time understanding this. You guys get the release of the Raw of Initial D episode....then it takes 2 months PER episode, or 2 months for BOTH episodes. Cuz like... Waiting untill freakin 2006 to see the end of Project D is gonna suck some Donkey nutz. Not trying to bitch, but like... Initial D is like a drug. And I haven't had my fix... O_o;

No, no. Every 2 episodes are aired every 2 months in Japan

quick question...how come virtually no other group does initial d ? i mean how many freakin' groups did we need to sub Naruto but only 1.23 sub groups actually do initial d...... is there a curse on it like if u start subbing it, u will start seeing unknown images and then u recieve a call that say u have 7 days to live and then u die rite after u finish subbing it?.....i will continue supporting LE but i just dumbfounded as to how many groups will sub something that has basically been beaten to death but won't touch initial d.....then again, my theory may still hold true and the reason we don't have fast releases is because the LE crew is being killed off too quick to be replaced (haha....anyways thanks LE for the releases and keep up the quality of the work)

Easy: Spaced episodes release (2 months between each 2 eps, as you know) and loads of car information

Like I said, I publish a GPL project that is 'charity' and compleatly free and I give ETA's.

I know plenty of other GPL projects that give ETA's. That's not a reason.. (side note I didn't actually ask, I asked why asking was so frowned upon, and that the answers recieved were so snobish)

As for arguging numbers, who says they have to respond? A single blanket "update of status" would work and if poeple want more details like _extact_ times they can SuckItUp (tm) I'm just trying to figure out why no information is given, and the idea of giving out such information seems to be compleatly out of the question.

As for "we don't know how long it's going to take because we don't know when our QC people will get a chance to look at it" Well you could say

"We've sent it to our QC's we are waiting on them"  or even
"We've got the ok from 2/3 QC's waiting on the last one"

both of those are loads better then "We won't tell you! It's out when it's out!"

Want an answer don't you? Ok... let's do a small game: It's somewhere between editing/timing and QC-encoding

Main reason: We don't know how long can take the QCing.

Live-Evil always, and i repeat always uses the 3Qcers per episode rule. So... let's just guess that for example, one of the qcers can't qc-it on for example... 2 weeks from now? We have to wait until we get the 3 qcers to check the file, then the editor still has to correct the errors, the encoder has to do multiple encodes until he gets it right, etc.

Hi - new member, but regular reader de-lurking... If it helps I already have SSX on DVD, but it's PAL (the Italian release), and I'm getting Queen Millennia in June... Although I do have both shows (plus Danguard Ace) raw on VCD already as well - the quality isn't too bad on those, and I'm happy to supply copies. I also have Submarine Super 99... Tofu-sensei, if you want to email me offlist about it, I'm on thirteen.worlds@ntlworld.com.

PS: Great work on SSM and GTM - I've been buying the shows, but it's nice to have some help on the translation at times on the tricky bits!

Yamato Video releases, i presume? BTW, do they include japanese audio?

why don't you guys have a separate division doing fourth stage only, that way it would be much faster without sacrificing quality... kind of like what dattebayo and anime heaven are doing with naruto.

But DB/AH are huge... have you even a glimpse of how much members we have? the biggest team we have is the QC team
