it has all the names chosen by Tokyo pop but that doesn't bother me.
Anyone played it

i got a 125000 point Nissan Silvia S15 Spec R purple flip option B with Volk TE37 rims

its soooooo cool but i can't beat bunta he's too fast

yeah the name change is annoying but that wont detour me from playing the game. i got an FC RX-7, i dont remember how many points i got but i know i still suck. im stuck at Keisuke, came really close to beating him but would always mess up on the high speed sharp turns and hit the wall. im thinking about choosing a different car maybe an ITR or some 4WD, any suggestion.

Version 1 or 2?
I know that the S15 in the game is very hard to control.. argh.
I am currently using a FD Spirit R with only 85k points.. Because the game over here is expensive..
1 game is SG$1.50 or SG$2.. with means.. US$0.85 or US$1.15
I don't have much money since I am a student and not working.

In Version 2, each car has it own advantages and disadvantages.
In my country, there are many FD users.. don't know why though...
But now a trend is starting up that everyone try using Bunta's Car!~ The WRX. And you can get the WRX with some steps from the start of the game.

it is ? dang i must be goood :D cuz i got this far. FD has 50/50 weight and probably the best for control.

i gotta beat Bunta but i need more credits i spent loadsa money on the damn game.

50pence a go which is like 75 cents or something

I've burn mine during Version 1..
Now controlling not to burn anymore. ;)

Oh yeah, do you guys have long queues to play Initial D?

NOT TO GO O/T BUT BEEN TRYING FOR TTHE LAST FEW DAYS TO GET MY SKYLINE R34 GTR V-SPEC TO DRIFT PERFECTLY IN GRAND TURISMO 3


WAS TRYING TO DOWNLOAD EPISODES OF INITIAL D OFF KAZAA...BUT HAVN'T MANAGED IT SO FAR

just leave you comp on all night .......


as for queues for Initial D are usually large.

Damn those little kids

........

Worse in my place, they hogged the machine the whole day... :mad:

Ha!:rolleyes:

the lines arent too bad here, they just added another machine a few weeks ago. even then no one hogs the machine, win or loose you only play once then to the end of the line. i try to get to the machines during off-peak though, you know during school hours. its kinda scary during the peak times, there are like a bunch of kids setting up camp next to the machines. and yes this game will burn a hole in your wallet, i usually spend no more than $5 but i can easily plop out $20 and play for hours.

LoLz, so I guess Sega Rosso has earn quite an amount of money from us. :D
I guess wherever you are in the world playing Initial D arcade stage, the situation is the same. Kids gathering the machines hogging, bragging how good they are.. blahz.

I too try to play during off peak hours :) Just hate queues.

i finish work at 10pm fri sat and sun and i spend the next half hour hogging the Initial D arcades across the road.

this game is a RIP OFF... 2 bucks for one race!!

and i thought $1 a game was pretty expensive, $2 is a total rip off

it really does depend where you go

i pay 50p a game

well the game is addivctive... but two bucks is just a rip....
i seen ppl spend like 75 bucks on a card...crazy rich bastards!

i give up its too hard to beat bunta even with the ultra cars - RX7

its just too fast i nearly beat him i was like on his rear bumper when i hit the finish line every single time i raced him after that it got worse.

I SPENT TOO MUCH MONEY = £5 last night

*note to self, don't burn your own pocket. :D *

I hate the u.s. ! i just heard about thisgme and my friend told me played but the place to play is a hour from house if not more.. I HATE THE U.S.!

Intitial D is soo awesome i wish i could play the game

p.s endless: thats ur g.f.?! DAMN she is fine as hell!

in the version one there is a rocket start that you can do which involves shifting to third of the line

i've tried and done it - it gives a massive boost. doesn't work in Version 2 tho

I only play ver.2 now. I love my altezza. And my EVO III. Which hasnt got the misfire system yet, but only like 90000 points to go.:rolleyes:

Yupz.
Though FD have a fast start if you rev to 4500 to start ( If I don't remember wrongly.. :D )
And also.. the rims does affect the performance for the car ;)
I love the Misfiring system !!

this guy showed up yesterday at the Bowlplex (where the arcade is situated and opposite my work) with a 1,500,000 point white RX7

I managed to get my Silvia S15 into some course records but i still can't beat bunta with it ..............its soooo slow


the guy with the RX7 didn't shift at the red line either he first went to like 4500 then 5000 then something else then redlined it to shift to fifth

1500000 is nothing in ver. 2. I asw a guy with a 9 million point EVO 7. And damn he knew how to use it. He was really fast.
I wanted to get teh S15, but everyone advised me against it cos its just so slow. The only good 6 speed car is the Altezza followed by the GDB, which is wierd cos the GDB has a 6th going about 140 kms compared to the altezzas 170. People only use the GDB cos its got really good grip and fast accel in 3rd and 4th. So its really good for Iro.

this is version one!

If you get a Hachi Roku and take the Takumi route

when you get the engine it becomes the fastest car in the game :o

hey ya'll wasup!!!!

i'm a big fan of initial d!!!!!!!....its heaps mad

i use the toyota trueno.
i was just wandering if any1 knew the points order that u have to get time after time to get upgrades on the cars...i really need to know....i really hate having to blow alot of money on the game of knowing when i get my next up grade.

ive got the new wheels and exhaust and stuff...i was wandering what points i have to earn to get the next upgrades.......see i guess the main point of it is that i really want my car to become fast and i get so pissed off when my friend thinks he's all that with his gay skyline gtr -r32...he heaps gives me the shits..so could ya'll be able to help out in letting me know

thanx...

pz

oh.....this is for all about version 1.....really. really need to know the points..

ok

pz

oh and 1 more thing....can u get the misfireing system for the LanEvo 3 in the 1st version of initial d.....i'm thinking of getting 1.

ok

thanx

pz

as far as i know the EVO's dont get the misfiring system, and you need 60,000 points to get the car fully customized. after that comes the maintenance and dont bother wasting your points on the rims they do nothing.

The trueno's not the fastest car in the game, the FD is. The Trueno is a close second and about even on akina.

Also, the upgrades don't help all that much. A 465,000 point car is only about 4-5 seconds faster than a 0 points car. A 60,000 is about 2-3 seconds faster.

The main thing is to just drive well and don't hit the walls because that stops your acceleration. It's a very unrealistic game but for the arcade it's quite good. And as for bunta, just do time trials on akina DH at night. I've got my time down to about 3:08. You need just a second or two faster than that to beat Bunta.

thanx pplz for da info and stuff.......


ummm....how long since the second version of initial d came out from wherever ya'll r from.....

me from aus and we only just got initial d.......


do u guys ever try the 'heel and toe' technique?????

i've tried it on mah car but it's heaps hard to control after the hairpins...

any ideas run them by me...


aiight

pz

still havent gotten ver. 2 over here yet, as for heel toe isnt it pointless if you can shift to neutral :confused:. and what do you mean by hard to control, is it fish tailing. if so countersteer very quickly and only for a split second, it should stabalize the car.

Um, I'm more interested in just how the hell he's doing it seeing as how theres no clutch on the Initial D game:confused:

post your Akina times


Trueno: 3:03:255 (i dunno the smaller numbers)


Yea the RX7 seems faster a little

my Usui Clockwise is 2:52:200 something like that

yeh i know it's weird but i kinda figured mah own style of doing the drifting.....i know theres no clutch...

it goes lyke this......eg:

the 1 hairpin in myogi:

ur go down nearly just about say an approx estimate distance lyke 5 0r 6 meters b4 the hairpin u in it at 5 gear then go down to 4 gear, lightly hit the brake with the heel of ur right foot and at the same time hit the acceleration with the toes or ur right foot as much as u can...if u cant seem to redline it....take it down to the next anutha gear, then b4 exiting the turn take it up a gear and countersteer at the exit of the turn...

yeh i know it's alot to do......but it's not to bad...i dont know why i'm giving mah self a hard time...i just lyke the whole drifting feel and i dont know how to drive but just been doing it


eh....


ok thanx for all da feedback

what youre doing is called "left foot braking" my son, its a very useful technique and very hard to learn in real life. most people are use to controling the speed with only their right foot, and when you throw the clutch in the mix it gets a little confusing.

as for me i dont really have time to practice much, like only once a week and i dont spend alot on the game either so my fastest time is only '3.11.xxx on my FC3S.

Version 2 was out pretty long ago. When you get Evo 3 as your car in Version 2, there is Misfiring System.. ;)

I have stopped playing as it really burns pocket!!

For Myogi, that corner can be usually cleared at 190- 200 ++.
Of course, you must know how to control.

Actually, does your car really drift when you play Initial D? IMO, it only drift at Myogi and Usui. The other tracks, they just turn but not drifting.

i'm managing to drift at Akina but its damn hard
Happogahara is god damn hard and those tight hairpins are annoying as hell i usually take em in 3rd

YAY!!!!!!



me just got myself a new car for initial d 1st version......the FC :D

i'm full heaps happy coz this car has actually got sum speed compared to the trueno

i've updated it as far as ive upgraded the trueno....

i told my brother to race the trueno with my FC and my brother is really exceptional to the game.....he has already finished the game with his FD......neways.......we raced on akina and it was so unexpected that i had beaten the trueno with the FC and my brother is more experienced than i am in the game......

ok neways

just lettin' ya'll know

my time for akina is 3:03:255, the same as NSX-R-SSJ20K and that was with my FC.......i love it now

ok

pz

i can't get my FC to go anywhere near as fast without more mods

My Usui lap of 2:52 is something i can't match with other cars

yeh true

ya really actually gotta get all da FCs' upgrades....it really actually helps.

i dont really know if it makes any sense but i think if u get more upgrades it prolly affects the tires

i think the tires on the FC are really slippy

it turns real sharply on some of the weak turns even

ok

pz

The rims does affect the cars handling :)

yeh but i already got the rims upgrade at the begining and its all good...
but they only get crapper sorta when they give u the option of getting new rims

I drive the R34, but this was before the whole 2F2F thing, i was NEVER influenced by that movie. i hate it most when people drive the 86 or FDs just because theyre the best cars. then theres the pussies who drive a DC2 and "forget" to turn handicap off and ctach up to you on happo gahara

I've got a silver FD3s RX-7 with 35,000 points.. just ran 3'12'985 on Akina Downhill time attack but every time I race Tak he sideswipes me off the road on this one corner and I fall so far behind. I have another card with an R32 with about 90,000 but I can run faster with the RX-7 and still lose to him. I guess I've got to get some more money and keep trying. That game is so addicting, haha.

with takumi u have to actually get a fair distance away from him....the only reason why he catches up to u is that he probably comes close to the corners.... u can usually see him do it on the hairpins when ur just comming out of 1 in ur rear view mirror....try it.....it healps just alittle to come close to the turns/corners stuff.

since u've got the FD3S u've got major turbo....if u've scene the cartoon of INITIAL D 2nd Stage....on chapter 11 or 12.....it shows the levin turbo 86 he joggs the steering wheel from left to right to gain back turbo from turbo lag when comming out of the turns...and gainning speeds on the straights.

uuuummmmm......pretty much every1 knows that turbo cars come out slower out of the hairpins than a natural aspiration (NA) car which is takumi's car.

the main thing pretty much in akina is too keep up ur speed wit tha turbo and just comming pretty close of the hairpins.

it takes awhile tryna perfect the commnig close on the hairpins (took me a bout 15 tries) untill i could perfect it

ok good luck

you're wrong

you practise something called Anti Lag

there's a system and a way of driving

You hit the accelerator before you exit the turn so when you exit the turn you're on full boost.

aye man just chill


i'm just giving him sum tips that i use


u just trippin' man....


no offense

explain ur tactics

i think i could use sum tips from u

since ur so sure of ur tactic

i'm just helping the guy out


i didnt mean to offend ne1

i heard apparently from my friend thats got the R-32

he's played this taiwanese version of initial d coz this mandarin dude has got lyke 6 machines of initial d.

(i reckon he'z just yankin' mah chain) MUthaFUckA

and he says apperently that it has 5-6 gears depending on what car u have.....it blocks out the 6th gear if u get a 5 gear car....and it has a clutch and handbrake.....

now i dont know if i can blieve him but i dont know...

do ya'll know nething about this...or heard of it

not fo' redneck ass muthafuck!!!!:thefinger

Chill guys.

In the Initial D Machine, there is no HandBrake nor Clutch.

Version 1, yes.. The king of cars are the RX-7 FD and AE86 Trueno.

But in Version 2, it is not. Version 2 cars have been balance. So there is no such thing as which car is the fastest. Each have their Pros and Cons.

Moreover, you think.. can this game really drift? :bloated:

you put it on a skateboard and shove it down some ICE i betcha it can then


PS NO FIGHTING

now play nice

nuh uh, in version two it means balanced as in you can beat the game with ALL teh cars not just the AE86 and FD...they still dominate. both the Type R and the new (even faster) Spirit R and AE86 still are the best. Everyone uses them and....its just gay =\ its possible to drift, if you watch, not even Takumi and Bunta drift =p and then you kinda kno its not meant to drift...

Yeah.. the Integra both old and new, FD Spirit R, AE 86 and FC. All these are the popular cars.

In Myogi, the best car to run is the R32 and R34.
Usui, Sileighty and S13.
Akina, Cappuchino and AE 86
Akagi, FDs and FCs.
The last 2 is the Integras.

i liked using my Silvia S15 even tho it was slow as all hell

it did get me some reasonable skills

and i beat some guys Evo 7 with my Evo 7 and mine had loads less points

i like but dont use the EG6 Si-R simply because its teh worst car in the game and its funny to beat people with it :tongue:

hey wasup every1!!!!


we just got Version 2 a while back here in brisbane...and its heaps mad!!!!!:bigthumb:

i've transfered over my FC.....its heaps cool...even tho wen u get a new card u get ya car back stock...shmeh' it didnt bother me coz i got them all back 1 race after anuther.:bigthumb:

so its all good....:tongue:

now i wanna get a evo III.....i heard u can get the misfiring system...how many points is it to get it????...coz i've looked at all these intial d websites but none say how much until u get it....:confused:

i've seen it in action on this movie where its an evo III racing downhill on irohazaka time attack...it was awsome :bigthumb:

now i full want 1


plz let me know pplz

misfiring = antilag

i would've thought it would be last mod before it does all the oil change and brake pad change rubbish.

yeh true.......

yeh i mite get 1....but i've got a DC2 now...lol....cheapass car...only to beat jerks......roflz'

i raced a guy with a 170,000 sumthing rx-7 FD.......ROFLMAO

:lol:

beat him easy on irohazaka....lol

he was beating me at the start of the race following his back...but then i beat him on the 13th hairpin goin over it...ROFLMAO:lol:

then i jumped hairpins 16 17 18 and 19 hairpins....lol...

mah time course for irohazaka is 2:55'555'...?????

i dunno sum shit it goes lyke that:lol:

aiight dats it

not bad.. But why you kick his ass at the first place? Boost on or off?
DC2 have advantage on Iro and Happo. You will win including you have skill.

coz he was full cocky

he was beating utha pplz....i wasnt bout that dude to get even close to getting an aura. he kept saying"I'M THA BEST!!!...NO1 CAN BEAT ME!!!..

he was only doing akina...he hadnt even done happgoharra or irohazaka b4.....lol...so when i sat down we raced on irohazaka...lol

he was saying "since i aint done it b4, can we have the boost on"

i said "yep".

he got full screwed...he kept comming into the hairpins and going the utha way.....lol.....beat him by around 943m behind....then when he didnt know when hairpin was he slammed rite into the turn......it looked too funny from my rear view mirror....

no doubt he had skill...but he was just full shit on happagoharra

so... uummm yeah

you mean slower car boost? I HATE THAT SORT OF THING the car behind just picks up speed on some Sega games and just overtakes and you can't go any faster whilst its got like 20mph on you.

Nice one toyota_trueno_03, such arrogant people should be pull all the way!

NSX : You can off their Boost~

gawd...i *really* need help beating the coffee car...he broke my straight win record...

do u mean the cappacino on usui????

if it is just dont mess up on the hairpins...especially on the c-121

i've messed up on the cappacino coz of the hairpins but that was only 1nce.


he's a fast bastard.....lol


alrite good luck

Usui is quite an easy track.
As long you don't screw up the 2 main cornerings.
When dry, the 2 corners can be run at 160++ and the other one is 170++
When Wet, just decrease by 10.

yeah wat he said...

lol

i think i found at what part i can get mah misfiring system...

i didnt realise it's still abit far from me...shmeh' lol

in version 1 u get all ur upgrades at 60,000 points
in version 2 u get all ur upgrades at 120,000 points

whoops sorry i got so caught up in desperately getting the misfiring system that it was so obvious i already new answer in my own excitement...

lol... i'm such an idiot

CooLz. Just curious, what timing you all got for Usui? :x

Ok guys...I have just started playing Initial D (Ver. 2) and I wanna know how the S2000 performs. Advantages / disadvantages?

I have heard that all the cars are equal in version 2; is this true?

If not, I might have to get another card with another car...it's just that I love the S2000 (the real thing) so I figured I'd be able to fulfill my wish :)

Anyways, if I upgrade my S2000 enough, shouldn't it be just as good as the other cars???

Please reply to this post. Thanks.

Although in Version 2, the cars are much more balance.. But there are 2 cars are still the better ones in the game.. It is the Honda Integra DC2 and Mazda FD RX-7 Spirit R. But the DC2 is consider the best.

For the S2000, it can run well with skills but I don't think it can go far.. Cause I have one when it was in Version 1. You still might give it a try. :smile:

Thanks for your reply...but...I did some more research and it seems to me like the FD is better than the DC...if you look at the internet rankings, all the high rankings go to people with FD's.

I think I will get an FD ;)

Here's another question though...I'm not too sure about the differences between the customizable parts; what are the pros and cons of each type?

Thanks.

Well.. you got to try yourself.. I am not very sure cause I play the Jap Version.. Can't read jap though.. But all I know is that all the parts makes the car either go faster or slower. And the choice of rims affects a little on the handling.

Happy playing~

as far as i know the more upgrades u get on ur car the better the handling/steering.....its a known fact......utha than the rims and muffler upgrade they help u with speed...dat bout it... i think :screwy: ...lol

e.g course A DC2 has only 3 upgrades (exhaust, wheels and hood) plus the the version 2 special upgrade: turbo.. then when u have to renew ur card go to course D(Wheels, Muffler, Rear Wing, Front Body Kit, Side Skirt, Rear Body Kit, Hood)....equal in handling/steering and speed is a good combination.

do sum research on the cars and make combinations so u get a good and equal on everything on ur choice of car.....make theories on how u can improve the attributes of the car u get.

good luck

ne good ones?

most i find r in a language i don't understand haha :eek7:

Try experimenting the parts.. I too don't understand the language.

Since when did new parts make the car slower? You dont really need to know, but its common sense that in a game, as you progress, your car gets faster... :licka:

slowed down my skyline :crying:

Neh, not all parts improves the car. It may although increase one factor, it might decrease the other factor. That's what I think though. So it is your choice to choose your combinations of parts for your car.

MY R34 never slowed down :p or did it? :loser:
I dont know, ive never noticed any slowing down of the car as I upgraded..

I suppose you are refering to speed with your R34? When did I mention speed? :screwy:

Anyway, try to get record in Myogi with your R34.

only lyke 2 or 3 things give u speed....lyke wheels, exhaust and all that engine upgrade shit....neways the body kit upgrades increase the better handling ability....i hope this can help ya'll realise that
it dont slow down the car

haha spoiler upgrade? aerodynamics my ass.

the only thing i noticed in my R34 was that the top speed increased, not the acceleration(spelling?). well after the whole rim, muffler, spoiler upgrade.

one question, i saw this guy with an S2000. when he finished, he had close to 6 million or somethin pts. so i thought the whole upgrading was done, but instead, the machine asked if he wanted to install this new muffler or somethin like that. when does that happen?

oh another, do u get to upgrade/install ne of the internal stuff? or is it a whole bunch of cleanup n tuning?

I do hold a record, and i plan to set a better one to put in the books at sega rosso soon :sunglasse

wheels dont do "shit", exhuast does not effect the car by more than a second, and the engine upgrade doesnt happen till 60k, and it doesnt help unless you're in a certain car (FD, AE86) nice try anyway

havent play the game for along time much less ver.2. anyways after the customizing upgrades are done, besides the option of swapping rims, every 15,000 points or so you get to maintain your car with like oil changes, plug wire change, coolant change, and etc. the maintenance will make your car slightly faster, not very noticable, only if you race a tuned one with a stock one.

you guys must really like the -34's. over here alot of people like to use ff cars. it actually annoys me but oh well.

I think only bout 2 people here use them, including me :p

edit: did anyone realize the creator of this thread has been banned? :p i wonder what happpened

No idea..

Is the R32 or R34 better in the game? I think it is the R32.. not sure bout the rest opinions.

R32 is faster car. Of course I would beg to differ but the times say it all dont they? :licka:

hey, it seems that here, the only kids who use ff cars are the kids from hong kong. Everyone else uses the cars they actually like, which i think makes the game more fun and more of a challenge. Its alot more satisfying to beat someone without using a handicap.
and about the car balances, i think they did an alrite job...the 86 is challenging in ver.2 because of the 11,000rpm thing. If you switch gears even 200rpm below 11000 u will lose speed going from 3-4th or 4-5th, 4-5th especially tho. my 86 has 750k on it and i just started an Evo III cause no one here uses it and im not sure they know about gettin the misfiring system so that should be kinda fun.

Oh yea, on irohazaka, people keep talking about the jumps, but every time i take the hairpins and i point the car right over the part with the dirt it just hits it and takes the corner around really fast, it doesnt actually jump over it, am i doin somethin wrong?

no cuz that's how i've seen it done...but if ur sayin u need to see the jump saying that u've done that LINE move on Iro, i don't think you do, sometimes you see it, sometimes you don't.

to answer your question penpen989; yes you can get the misfiring system it gets kind of annoying though. not sure if you can hear it on the aracde machine because you can barely hear the BOV on there.

but on the ps2 you can hear okay though.

hey i got the misfiring system yesterday, i think its kinda kool. I passed a DC2 on hapo right after the hairpin sequence. right when we came out of the last hairpin i cleared it faster, this misfire popped and i blasted by him, it was at the perfect time in the song too. hahaha reminds me of third stage.

Oh yea... anyone try the hachi-go yet? im gonna get one, i think it will be funny to smoke fools with my 83hp LSD-less wonder. after all it is "a racers dream...although not many people know about it"

Oh yea... anyone try the hachi-go yet? im gonna get one, i think it will be funny to smoke fools with my 83hp LSD-less wonder. after all it is "a racers dream...although not many people know about it"

Currently got one at 200k pts. Runs ok, but only do battles against someone less skilled, or you'll get smoked.

hmm got a 2'38 on happo and a 2'59 on akina with the evo III... what are your arcades records? i just got special stage on ps2 but i havent gotten any really impressive times yet... hey another thing, whats the deal with the kyoko girl in the black FD, is she keisukes ex-girlfriend? from the opening i see that he spanks her, which is good cause it would suck for someone as kool as keisuke to lose to his ex girlfriend.

penpen989 how many points u got on ur evo III.....its awsome the misfiring aint it....but u gotta change gears round the middle of 7000 to 8000 revs....it shits me up when i shift at the wrong time coz it just becomes full slow as.

was the DC2 u raced computer or player...coz if u did, thats good :)

gotta let these DC2 fools know that emperors rule on irohazaka, cant ever lose on that course fo' sho'!!!

it sucks that our car isn't the best on irohazaka and shit

fuckin DC2 cheap ass racers!!!! lol

my time for irohazaka is 2:48'413

why not just play without the music when racing with the evoIII it make a difference wouldnt it....when u play so u can hear it...i always do that

my evo is only 140k and yea it was a human player, ive fallen in love with another car tho...the HACHI GO!!!! smoking fools with it is soooooo much fun!! when u start shift 1-2-3-4 real quick and u blast off the line! i spent 28 bucks on it today and when it was STOCK i beat this kids GC8V with over a million points and an aura. since he was pissed then he did iro and wrecked me but i had ultimate revenge!! I beat him by 3 meters on myogi with no boost and then happogahara no boost outbound!! and he doesnt suck either, he hits every jump on iro and beats alot of people but its just the awesome power of the Hachi-go that he cant handle. Single cam...no lsd...carburator instead of fuel injection..oh yea thats where its at.

it def sucks on turns but thats part of the challenge and when u win everyone gives u mad props. it currently has 30k on it. his sn is FerrariMP3000, everyone should IM him and laugh cause his million point GC8V lost to the hachi go on akina and happo! *turns the wheel hard and cringes his teeth* MAGERU! MAGETE KURE, ORE NO HACHI GO!!!!

hey Trueno_03 dont worry im not giving up the evo, the misfiring is great at night. shift at 7-8 huh, maybe thats why it was going so slow...i think i shifted to early. Yea Emperor OWNS irohazaka haha we gottsta jump over some DC2's cheap bastards. Maybe we should get a hummer and do like the commercial and drive str8 down over everything instead of turning.

Oh yea, funny story... my girlfriend is from japan and she loves driving as much as i do but doesnt know how to drift like me (yay for my miata) but anyway when she was in japan she would go to mountains alot and she visited irohazaka with her dad who owns car dealerships and is a car nut. The road was hella crowded cause it was daytime there was tour busses on it and stuff so they couldnt go fast. so they went to the rest stop and there was those monkeys there, and she went to give it a chip and the monkey punched her! LOLOL my gf got punched by a monkey.
Oh yea another thing, at the mall where i work at i saw a jap guy with a couple girls and he had the white headband going like kyoichi haha i was like Hmmmmm i wonder if hes from the nikko area...

DAMN THAT WAS A LONG ASS POST!

true my evo is at 205000 sumthing.

r u serious???

i was thinking of choosing a levin either the 85 or 86 fill us in if its awsome and stuf aiight

true my evo is at 205000 sumthing.

r u serious???

You know what, im gonna go get a 85 :licka:

yea def get an 85, even on iro its good cause u can take alot of hairpins in 4th, with such a low redline its like if u shift up to 4th by accident it doesnt really hurt u haha. i get a kick out of watching my hachi go fly over iro.
God damn i hate DC2 drivers who think its them thats fast and not the car. i took away an aura with my evo III on akagi today =)

what car course did u pick for the 85

coz there are sum pretty good car courses that make it look pretty good and on course A u get a turbo....so yeah

GO EMPERORS!!!!

Course A AE85 gets turbo? :sly: Tahts an idea to think about, turbo 85 SOHC :cwm27:

yea i got a course, havent gotten the turbo yet but soon. the accel will be nuts with the turbo! PAWAAAA

yeah, that little sohc is pretty 'freakin fast!! Almost lost to my friend couple times....he just dont have the skill to racer andrew (me)

True shit!!!!!!

have u tried both levins coz i aint really sure yet


coz both of them get turbos

True shit!!!!!!

have u tried both levins coz i aint really sure yet


coz both of them get turbos
AE86 Levin never got turbo in ver1 :confused: If you're not sure how do you know they both get turbos? :confused:

man i know that sheesh!!!!!

i'm asking if penpen989 if he's tried both levins on ver2.

i know they both get turbos coz i did research on all the stuff for ver2

man i know that sheesh!!!!!

i'm asking if penpen989 if he's tried both levins on ver2.

i know they both get turbos coz i did research on all the stuff for ver2

Yea ive tried em both, honestly i like the 85 better haha. its acceleration is so fast with that ultra low redline lol. and u can stay in 4th gear for a long time and u dont have to worry about dropping below the powerband if u shift to 5th too early.

the 86 levin with the turbo is quick but it doesnt have the benefits listed above. but it turns better tho. Thats part of the hachi go challenge! hahaha itsuki rocks, i was so happy to watch him do his first succesful drift, it made me remember my first time...

Anyone try the NA6 miata yet? (thats the car i own in real life =D)

wait! now i'm confused. So the levin comes with turbo, right? what about the trueno? no? because you get that cool TRD engine.

wait! now i'm confused. So the levin comes with turbo, right? what about the trueno? no? because you get that cool TRD engine.
It seems both Levin's get turbos, and the Trueno only gets the 12k engine

yea thats right, the trueno is quick but man...one mis shift into 5th and ure losing speed and getting ure ass kicked, it takes some skill to be truly fast with that car. the AE85 with the turbo rocks but its turns arent tight. beating people with it is by far the funnest thing since gasoline and matches.

ok its been ages since i posted in this thread which happens to be mine but i'd like to add that i recently played Version 2 and i am currently unbeaten (by the computer). No human has beaten me on Version 1 yet and no one shall for it has gone and been replaced with version 2.

well im gonna have to spank you on version 2, my hachi go will eat you up! hahaha. my new fc is pretty deadly too. Hey whats up with that kyoko girl (kylie) is she keisuke's gf?

seems like she just wants to bang him.

But no i'll own you. You can't beat me at Initial D. Try getting faster than 2:52 on Usui anti-clockwise.

My miata is the fastest thing on four wheels to ever terrorize the happogahara pass. DC2's run and hide from me on their home track. Ill go there tomorrow and get my time and ill post it. Yeah u probably would beat me on usui tho, i hate those circular tracks so i dont play em.

well im gonna have to spank you on version 2, my hachi go will eat you up! hahaha. my new fc is pretty deadly too. Hey whats up with that kyoko girl (kylie) is she keisuke's gf?
Hm.. Kyouko actually raced against Keisuke, and lost...then later on she came to Akagi and she said she just wanted to be with him, and he said if that was the only reason, he wanted her to leave and never come back, because she would be a distraction to him.

OUCH! she got burned hardcore. I have initial d special stage for ps2 and there is the real myogi the real usui that shomaru pass where takumi raced wataru and there is the track that the SSR guys come from. I wonder why they didnt put those tracks in arcade ver.2?

Small Mountain Road pass... :p
And SSR is "FTown Prefecture" ..(i duno) Ver2 didnt have alot of things, I guess well just wait till Feb or so for ID Ver3 to be released in Japan and find out

nice pic, too bad the subtitles are wrong, not convertibles and the R34 there doesnt have an RB25DET, that engine came on the R33 GTS25T. The R34 GTS model comes with a Neo 6 single turbo. its an inline six turbo, same engine out of the Stagea R wagon. So ID3 is in feb huh? good cause in feb vacation im going to japan with my girlfriend. (her fathers paying for our plane tickets to go visit him. rock on!) Ill be posting pics and videos of my trip, her house is right near one of the many touges near fukuoka in the south. and her father owns 4 car dealerships and a car customizing shop called "Babu" so ill def be riding in some sweet cars haha. DAMN ALL THE EXCHANGE STUDENTS ARE LOAAAADEEEEDDDDD $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ we went to the mall the other day and she spent 800 dollars on a purse like it was nothing. after taxes it takes me 3 weeks to make 800 bucks...damn....

The convertible is wrong, yes, but the GT25 Skyline R34 actually DID have the RB25, it's floating around the web somewhere (yes it does have the RB25DET). ID4 will be out Feb (same as US Kaido Battle!). Have fun in Japan, you bringing a container? If you are, I want to come! :icon16: I dont think all of them are loaded, it's just that her father owns 4 car dealerships and a car customizing shop called "Babu" yep.. (lucky)
Funny how later on the guy driving the R34 later said he had 500hp... can't tell whats right..

hey heres a pic of the ER34 and u can see under the hood its a neo 6, it IS a 2.5 litre straight 6 but its not the RB series, the RB series was discontinued with the last R34 GTR, thats why in the JGTC races the skylines can no longer use RB engines...they have to use VQ engines in the skylines http://www.bestjapancar.com/nissan2.htm

Hmm..never mind
Neo6 is revamped RB25 with new ECU and more advanced VVT system, it was also bigger so they had to move the battery into the trunk

yea thats what i thought. :rofl:

OMG !!!!

ID 3 rd Stage is OUT for testin in Japan there is 3 new cars that i know... EVO 5, 6 Rx- 8...thats also a new map ...i think is will be good ...DC 2 still rules..!!! :evillol:

OMG !!!!

UGH! they need to do something about that DC2 handicap... in real life FF gets owned on touge, the downhill puts extra weight on the front which is already put under stress from the ff configuration. if u drive it too hard the tires wear super quick and u understeer like crazy. Last time i was in japan (fukuoka) there was 2 touge's that we visited pretty regularly and there was only one civic. seemed like every other car was FD evo and silvia/180's some damn rich kids man... no imitation parts. im so freakin jealous...

hey u know what would be fun, if i could race a spec mclaren f1 in single player mode only. and have it have the actual top speed of 391kmh (241mph) that would be sick. If i win the lottery thats the first thing im buying is a mclaren f1 (if i can find one for sale) and im gonna drive it cross country. If i cant find one for sale ill look for a Bugatti EB110, *drools* quad turbo v-12 ...uh oh... i gotta change my boxers now...

DC2 wont rule, every game has a new king car :)
I think this time its a Mitsubishi (not sure)
this is going to kick ass though, do you think they will add another Tune to everycar again? :smile:

Initial D 3 will be more cool! It is currently under going testing in Japan.. This time they got the Tommy.M Evo in the game.. :naughty:

Not just Japan, some arcades in Cali are getting them and testing em out
the guys who have played say the RX8 is fast :p
RX8? Fast? Since when are those two used in the same sentence....bah
:(

hahaha yea RX8 is weak... they cant even make a turbo kit for it cause the engine is so crammed in there with emissions equipment. And did u know mazda will go as far as to buy the car back cause they said it had 280hp and started taking orders and then corrected themselves with 250hp and then it was released with like 242. so people were pissed. the people who kept the car got free service from mazda for as long as they have the car.
Also... whats the deal with cali. these game companies have no love for the east coast. California kids need to chill the f out. I went there to enter the D1 with my miata but my trailer broke on the way there and i was delayed by a day. but i did get to watch and i must say that 90% of them sucked hardcore... really an embaressment to our whole country when that airs in japan.... i know so many people around my area including myself that were way better than alot of them. The japanese pros were cracking jokes on us too, my gf translated for me. Kinda pissed me off cause i went to get taniguchis autograph and when i walked away my gf said he made fun of my spikey hair. HE WAS MY FAVORITE TOO! THAT BASTARD!!! ......now ive angered myself and must go play battle gear 2...

Ahahah...
Yeah I heard about that RX8 deal, they agreed to pay 5 thou? Or buy back the car completely (hell yes, i wouldve driven the hell of it and had it back for full price, just to piss them off ;)). They did that the the Miata a few years back too, right?
All I know is recently, some dude took a silver RX8, MazdaSpeed body kit all around (not important) and dropped in a 20B (very important). First 20B powered RX8 in the country! :p If i can find the link ill post up pics

theres a guy a couple blocks from me who has a 20b powered FC. I give him mad props too cause he works his ass off at a construction site to pay for his apartment and his car. None of mommys money for him. Theres also a guy in a town called marblehead near here who has a shop and a 93 rx7 pushing 700hp, its street driven and runs consistent low 10's. but no props for him since he deals....

sup ya'll!!!

man...i ain't been in hurr for ages...and man i missed out on alot of news...wow!!! initial d version 3 already???.....thats awsome.

l8ly i've been doin up a 86levin course A and its pretty awsome...i still have to get the supercharger installing...it seems pretty slow still...shmeh'
any1 herre know da car rankings for ver2.???

Sup! :p
The car rankings for ver2 or ver3? I have a Ver3 thread somewhere down there, I guess the people here arent interested in the Arcade game :(
The Ver2 varies with each track, because, remember, home course boost. If you look around, i believe they make a table/chart thingy for ver www.initiald.org
its Japanese so just keep clicking! :D

cool man thanks.....do u use the r34 up in ver2???

is it good??...coz i wanna get 1

it looks pretty awsome!!!
but course B has a pretty wack exhaust...so i mite get course C

I use the R34 in Ver1, because I only play Ver1 :p In Ver1, it sucks...
Im not sure about Ver2, but after I look at the records in Ver2, it seems the R34 is a bit SLOW, but its the 2nd best car in Myougi :D

OK guys I know I sound like a total tard here but I have a couple of questions about the initial D special stage game on PS2. I have the japanese version with the game mod chip to play.

The main question is what does the first set of options say in the main menu part. And so on I want to be able to play the game knowing what options I'm in wether if its story mode or time trails or whatever.
:banghead:
The second question, how do I know if I saved the game or not.

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A web site or just guide me thru it or something. THANX folks.

aw true....lol 2nd in myogi....man dats pretty wack.
but i guess it would be funny tho beatin all utha cars on that course....fuckin' dc2's.

i just thought it would be pretty good because my friend raced an r34 on akagi and he uses the FD and he got beat pretty bad and usually wins on that course????...and i was pretty puzzled dat he got beat by 600m and he usually wins 4 out of 5 races when racin sum1 on akagi...unless sum1 else uses an FD...just fully weird..shmeh' ima still get 1 they look awsome when done up

wow!!! mad shit!! how much u pay fo dat on ps2..
damn i want that game...but dont know whurr to find it hurr in aus!!!

but dont u usually know 1nce u've gotten in that option just by telling by pictures and stuff u'd know wat options u'd b gettin into....i know its all in jap...but shouldnt u be able to figure it out???

GD, you type in the style that the Tokyopop characters speak...

If your friend lost to an R34 on Akagi, and he was using an FD, it means there is a large skill difference present, a VERY large difference.
The PS2 game(Initial D: Special Stage) is found on EBay and such, but you need to able to play it...Australia is PAL right? You need modchip/fliptop/or slidecard in order to play. The game sells for 50 or so on EBay and 60 on play-asia. The arcade game is a miniature Arcade Stage with more tracks, more music, and all that good stuff. The layout is the same as in Arcade Stage, so you got to be pretty stupid to not know whats on your car, even if its all equipped on your car spinning in front of your face...

oh ok...dats cool thanx!!!!

i dont really talk as if its tokyopop...dont even get me started wit dat bullshit...they've completely fuct initial d up!!!...they piss me the fuck off!!!!! :angryfire

they dont even use the real characters names.....its completely fuct!!!
and changed bits of the original story lines..its fuckin' wack
they call seiji iwaki's evo IV and evoVI....i seen it and i hate it...its fuct!! :angryfire

dam does anyone plz tell me what track the rx7 spirit r is good at i really need to knoe

will if anyone knoe what track the FD or the rx7 spirit R is good at the could u please email me at red_dragon205@hotmail.com

thanks, you got a PM. :)

yo damn!!!

i aint been on here in ages!!!
eh...but i come with good news!!!
australia now has ver.3.....YES!!!!!
it looks heaps cool and da new courses are hella good!!! :1:
but i think i was abit psyched.....i dont know if its me or da wheel...but i did really bad on akina down hill..and i used da r34gtt, cos its full heaps coolie...hhhmmmm

any1 else here played it....i hope dat bullshit dc2 aint da best still...rrgghhh i'm b so cut

dude v. 3 is the best initial d yet. wish they didnt take most of the song away, but what can you do? The reason you get crappier times is because the game is slowed down in a way. Its alot harder. In a way more realistic. Im currently using a 246k point AE86. My fastest time on akina is terrible, but im hoping to break my record today. I did alot of study on the course and figured out alot of strong points. Dowbhill time 3'14'896

alright, i love initial d. this is one old ass thread. anyway, i just played arcade stage, version 3...i lost to the fucking ae85!!! i thought id get him off the line, but he got the jump and everthing. the arcade that has the game is an hour away, but i dont care, its an awesome game. i used an evoiii, but i just want to play a bit more to get used to it...then ill try hardest...for a single play, it costs 1.50...but i dont care, i have a job and few bills to pay...heh...

EVO iii?! Thats sadly the best car in the game. If you want to pull off easy times with hardly trying thats the car for you. That car is a 4wd 86 with the power of a skyline. Maybe im being a lil harsh but I prefer under dog cars. It requires more skill to beat people with them. I didnt break my record but I increased a section time. Section two time got alot better. I got alot of tips for fellow 86 drivers so just be sure to ask me questions, im her for my fellow 86'ers!

Arcade here is like ten minutes away. One dollar fee to enter though. 75 cents a game for intial d, 50 cents to continue. Its awesome.

i dont want to use the evoiii, i just wanted to get used to driving. i really want an underdog car, and get really good with it. what are the cars that are rarely used?

The AE85,AE86 Trueno & Levin. Are one of the few underdog cars. Also the cappucino. What all three of these cars have in common are that they have really good turning and crappy engine power.

Those are also cars that are rarely used around here. Me and two of my friends have AE86's. The Levin is what I heard to be faster off the line. Never driven it though. The R34 GTS-T is rarely used. I see alot of EVO's, and RX-8's. I heard that the mazda miata Roadster is the fastest car in the game off the line. That comes in handy when racing those cheat racers that use EVO's. Damn 4wd superiors.

Silvia K's(2000cc) is never seen.

Not many people have mastered Akina Downhill. The fastest time seen is posted from japan. 2'57'8-- something like that. My time is currently 3'14"896. So I obviously got a long way to go. The fastest time on Downhill Akina is 3'04"--- That record was made by an AE86 driver.

I got alot of tips and pointers for fellow AE86 drivers. Just IM me at my AIM SN.

SiLeNtSpEcTeR143

initiald is a good game i own a skline gtr r34

whoa!!!!!...HOLD UP!!!

THE EVO III IS GOOD IN VERSION 3!!!!!!!

i have 1, i reckon its full cool coz of the misfiring system...i've been using the evo III in version 2, coz its still around...i've got lyke 345k, on it....yeah yeah i know it aint much...but eh...its slow abit, but it feels lyke its gettin faster.

R U SERIOUS AKINA SPECIALIST BOUT THE EVO III????

WHAT COURSES IS IT GOOD ON?

I MIGHT JUST GET A NEW 1 FOR VERSION 3...AND KEEP MAH VERSION 2 1 4 VER 2...JUST SO I CAN GET AN AURA!!!

i hate to sound like a dumb ass, but whut are you guyz talkin about...please dont same me.

The arcade game? there's three versions

where would one get this game?

i hope ur fucking joking.....u've got 2 b da biggest stooge who doesnt know about the arcade game

(EVO iii) Its as good as you are. Sadly, to my defeat Downhill Akina/Snow is one of its strong points. Tschu and Iro and any weather condition is a really good course for the EVOiii. Im still looking for fellow 86 drivers. C'mon!? Where are my 86 drivers!?...

hey go to hell, i just found about the damn cartoon last month, and i just asked about how to get the game you dick.

Anyone try the Mr g limited? think corners like a son of a gun, drifts good too. I haven't palyed the game enough to hook it up a lot tho, but i cna tell you th akina down hill in the snow is FUN!.

man.....that is so good to hear about the evoIII.

but hey...i also gots a 86 levin....not as much as mah evo but done up....supercharger and all a dat

so ummm...yeah....its all good...so raise up for da 86's :p

A friend of mine had the MR-2. It was good in v.2 Dunno about now. It owned on Iro.

You can find the arcade game at almost any good arcade.
Theres the japanese ps2 version called Special Stage. you can find that on ebay, youll need a mod chip.
Then theres the crappy pc version

THE 86 LEVIN!?!? Dont see much of those.

Imma start sending piece by piece of Downhill Akina for fellow 86 drivers. There good tips. So here we go the first few seconds of Akina.

Shifting times for the AE86 Trueno w/ AE101 engine.
1-2 8.6k 2-3 8.6k 3-411k 4-5 145km/h

Comming to the first easy left get on the inside and ease your car into the area a lil before the apex and hit the gutter quickly and pull out going into the inside of the next small turn a right. Get as close as you can to the rail...

-to be continued-

da mr2???...say what!!....owned iroh???

no offense but i find that hard to blieve, since it cant even reach the speeds of the cheap ass dc2 on that level, and its major understeer iz really wack...i used to have 1 and i wasted too much money on it, coz sum1 told me it had shit steering....eh..dats what i gots 2 say

akinaspecialist, when ya hit the gutter do u let it just take you, or when u hit it do u counter steer quickly???....good tip i do that ery time at da beginning but its hard to hit dem on da hairpins...its easier uphill to hit dem i reckon

aight im a lil gone but lemme do this

alright, the dc2s have no respect in our books actually noone we know is carrying in a dc2 in their pocket. We know those cars aint got nothing but fully best cheat shit.

But the MR-2 did own. Actually I never had a problem with understeer It felt like oversteer other than understeer. Id hit the inside wall because of dat shi...

Anywho you people ready for the next shit??

Aiight here it goes

After comming through the soft right after the soft left you stick as close as you can to the right side of the road. It would be on the wrong side of the road in japan so yeah. You continue on that short straight lining up to the inside of the turn. On yo left side you notice a yellow sign with an arrow thats your que. I love the game for this. You can feint! You combo your feint by pulling to the outside of the turn and going fast enough your gonna have to hurry and pull back in takeing the strategy known as outside-in-outside. You follow that route and combo your feint to a brake drift causing the early sideways to take you around the turn at awesome speeds!! 135 exit should do good!

-to be continued-

Im like ryouske compared to takumi i got the knowledge but i aint got the skillz take got da skillz but no knowledge. Whos seen the current eps for stage four? Would have tak won if it wasnt for the amazingly car understanding expert like ryouske? Hell nah. With out him Takumi lost.

my bad i read my post then went back forgot to answer a question. Never ever ever ever ride the gutters! Its like standing to close to a black hole you get sucked in. Before you know it you got sparks,paint, and metal flying offa yo car. Losing major speeds. Ride the gutter at the apex maybe a lil before and maybe a lil after. Never ride it too long. You lose lotsa times.

Thanks toyota_trueno_03 you get mad props on yo knowledge people gotta know theres real life physics added to this shit.

I can fake the heel toe in it. Its great. Im the only person with a turbo in that game that makes it blow off everytime i let go of the gas...awesome stuff...its as close to real life as it gets

AkinaSpecialist word up to ya man!!!

yo i seen tha movies for stage for aye...but not seen it seen it, nah mean...da best i seen dem iz da covers of them...LOL!!!

but yeah i guess since there iz a 4th stage d thurr prolly gon' be a 4th stage arcade...should b interesting, coz it'll b whurr version 3 is and version 3 iz gon be at whurr i play version 2...sick!!!

thanks anyway man fo da gutter tip, the gutters feel sick when u hit em

if you don't take the gutter you lose two things stability and speed. you are a lot more stable taking the gutter at a high speed (for example S turn in cp2 on akina) otherwise you'll bash the wall. then lets say turns like RHOD (turn after the S-turn to the right) which is one of the most important turns on akina, taking it slow would mean sacraficing your cp2 and cp3 time.

and no, arcade stage has NOTHING to do with the movies/series that are out right now. tsuchizaka and shomaru are apart of the MANGA. they only really have two stages left that are already playable in id special stage for ps2, shin myogi and shin usui. if they follow their current rate they always add two stages. version1>2 (irohazaka and akagi) version2>3 (tsuchizaka and shomaru) version3>4 is probably gonna be the true myogi/usui. not to mention there isn't really any logic to that "fourth stage? fourth arcade version" they are probably gonna further the anime if the fan-base is good for stage 4 in japan.

edit: well i mean the series is based off the manga but i mean they are basing the arcade stage off of the manga and not really the series...

I didnt understand one thing you said...cp2? RHOD? Can you clear this stuff up for me? Im a little confused.

Man Initial D Fourth Stage is the shit. The next two episodes are out in japan sometime this week or sometime this month. Its awesome so far. The battles on Happo! Jesus christ its amazing. They show a crazy battle between the styles of grip driving and drifting. And oh man the battle between Takumi and Tohru! Jaw dropping. I'll wait a few more sends before I add the information for the next turn on Akinas Downhill

cp i think means checkpoint,
but dat duluth got me phased bout RHOD???
soz man no offense...

of course they would, initial d is fucking huge!!!!

they'd do it to have the end of all endings ver4. dat'd just b fuckin sick.

I HAVE TO SEE 4TH STAGE SUM HOW!!!! RRRGGHH

akina specialist if u say its as good as u say it iz...i'm intrigued...

I MUST SEE IT AT ALL COSTS, NO MATTER WHAT.

no wait....now that just seems desperate...its not lyke im gon' steal it from the shop that has it.....or will I?...........hhhmmmmm

RHOD = "Right Hand Of Death"

It's a turn on Akina, that's all I know.

From what I can tell, I'm practically the ONLY person in my town that still uses the 86, see below.

And unfortuneately, I still use some of the same techniques I learned back in V.1 but I'm not suer if I'm getting any better.

Sweet, nice times. My skills are still giving me finish times of 3'14" I mess up at the first set of hairpins and that messes me up at the S-turns. I once almost got my time really good on there. I was going 160 before the first S-turn I did it well but then I missed the gutter on the next S-turn and scrapped the wall. I jus stood at 158 throughout the whole way my times would've been incredible...At least three seconds shaved off

And even worse, I still have the 3' 14-15" times on Akina DH. I'm trying to find specific videos about how to take the best in the Version 3. I still have some vids of people playing Versions 1 and some of 2.

dc2 DO require skill just a lot of non-skilled (noobs) play them in version 2, which is fine. in version 3 its worse as far as battles with the no "invisible barrier" so you get right behind their bumper. ESPECIALLY on stages like shomaru. your opponent could eat the wall the WHOLE turn and still be in front, compared to dc2 noobs, this is a lot worse. especially against six-gear cars.

and 3'04 is not really that good (no offense)... full tune knocks down about 3-4 seconds off your stock time. which means you'd have to get rocket start to get under 3 minutes. unless you improve your technique.

there is only one way anyone is fast at akina and its the same in all the versions, feinting with 5-in-4 out. learn that, it'll knock off A LOT off your time hence you can use it on every turn and helps you come out a little bit faster than usual.

man dat sum deep shit that duluth dude sayin..
wish i knew what he sayin', i vaguely understand it but i think i know what he means.

anyways i'm gon play sum D 2morrow

and i'll report back asap

Man if the fastest time is 2'57'--- and he has 3'4 He's just seven seconds away from being just as good. He's like what ranked 12th in world? Thats fuckin good.

Wait 3'4 is ur version two time?? Wow..haha were in the same boat pulling 3'14...I mess up at the same parts sadly. S-turns and hairpins. The two most important parts...This blows

No, the 3' 4" time was in Version 1 with the full A tuned Trueno. I had 100K - 150k poiknts I think before I switched to Version 3.

The problem that I'm trying to correct is to try not to use the gutters as much as I used to.

Unlike Ver.1, it's VERY easy to grind against the wall and lose tones of speed when you use the gutters. I've been practicing to use them on the 5 hairpins to see if it would get me faster times, but it's proving to not be.

I'm just gonna abandon the gutters on the 5 hairpins since I seem to come out of the last one, right before the S-curces, at 110-115kph.

EDIT

the fastest time is 2'52 on version 1 on the internet rankings. i believe the internet rankings for version 3 are 2'55, therefor its harder to get lower on version 3.

and if the gutters aren't improving your time, you must be using them wrong. tell me what you do and i'll try to help you.

I've seen video of a guy taking Akina DH 2' 4X". The upper 40's in Ry's car, one of the RX's. I can send it to anybody if they want.

And I always practice to aim at the first curve at full speed on the outside at the 5 hairpins but I always seem to miss it every time.

Either I turn too late and understeer or turn too early and grind against the wall and along the gutter. That's how I lose precious time alot on Akina.

ok but the internet rankings say 2'52 as the top time... but use land markers to turn, like on the rhod i ALWAYS use the rumble strips on the ground, just before they end.. turn. same for the first hairpin, its a lot easier to feint too if you do this. for the hairpin consecutives after the first turn, turn EARLIER than you fell and accelerate once you hit the gutter. that helped me take the gutters quite well.

hhhmmm....man ya'll need to change the topic aye...ya'll and yo akina downhill and all dat

anyways thurrs utha courses.

lyke i said in my last reply, i said i was gon to talk bout my results of 2day when i played.
so....i did up my evo III (Emperor RULES!!!!) i did wataru(levin) and takumi on akina to clear it, then did da last 2 stooges in happo, den i 4got dat i didnt do tha mr2 stooge on irohazaka den i beat him, than i had to race tak on iro den bunta on akina.

so yeah i'm now full toppz that mah evoIII iz properly completed with misfiring system (FUCKING SICK SHIT)
and i'm so surprised dat mah Evo isn't slow anymore, it goes lyke stink on happo and iro now.
i showed of 3 dc2 stooges on dey on courses...LOL!!

aw and also....it even goes full more stink on Iro reverse...fuck i luv doin it reverse more than downhill now...coz stooges fuck up so bad its funny..

anyways does are my results of 2day playin D

i'll give my times for da courses on da evo sum utha time

Akina downhill is the hardest course to master. And my 86 can't even go anywhere near Iro. I cant go faster than 98 on that damn course. It blows. I think its cuz no matter what you tap the damn wall on that course. And thats the downfall of the 86.

Damn for those of you that seen Stage Four the first four episodes. You think they'll make that course Takumi raced Tohru on? That'd be awesome to take the game that far in realism to actually do weight shifting. Awesome stuff. Before you know it they're gonna add a clutch a E-brake. Tire meters. And your car can be damaged and you gotta spend points on fixing it. HAHAHA. Yeah right..

akina isn't the hardest course to master. that is why its hard. the three new stages definitely add something new into the mix. akina snow - speed balance, you can't go super fast nor can you go super slow for a turn. shomaru - its so narrow its quite easy to bump into walls and screw up your time, yes it is the narrowest course in the game. tsuch its LIKE akina but has more turns and more turns VITAL to your whole, sharp turns i should say.

What would you say are good speeds to exit turns on Akina snow? I blow at that stage.

Shomaru in the rain is frickin hard. Cuz its so narrow, SID is lucky he has his Capp.

My friend cant beat the last man in the EVO, hes the last guy in Tschu anytips?

r u serious ur 86 only goes 98k's???.

how many points have u got on it???
thats just weird, ya can at least reach 120k's or abit more than that even.

i think with that akina deal is that it just takes practice.
do the course a couple of times, then after that work out wat your doing wrong, then do it better.
all i can say is that practice makes perfect, dont always try and achieve a good time (tho ery1 lykes to) but be patient with it and work things out with it.

aiight, i need to ask a question?

does that stupid dc2 have a flaw on any of the levels?? apparently pplz tell me that its akagi up hill wet???.
i've done it it acouple times and it works but iz thurr any utha level?

Im talking about on Irohazaka. My hachi cant get out of 98ks' thats because hachis'=slow on Iro. Iro is the worse stage for an 86

yeah i know what your talkin' about but i really find that hard to believe, 1 of the guys that plays intial d, has an trueno, it goes lyke stink man...are shifting at the rite rpms?
and even my levin goes at 120 sumthin??....
man da machine u use must b fuct or sumtin'...LOL!!...soz no offense

uh, no. sid isn't lucky, capp isn't that good in the rain on shomaru its good on dry.

what man? i'm guessing the blonde haired one, even though he isn't the "last" guy on tsuchi since keisuke and takumi are. anyways, to beat him since its inbound take the consecutive turns in FOURTH gear and don't hit any walls. should be pretty simple. then he shouldn't have any problem the rest of the course, even though its slow, hitting the wall will screw him over for the whole race in the begining since the tunnel is at the start instead of the end.

good speeds on akina snow? they should never really exceed 120 exit speeds EXCEPT for the left hand turn on akina, you know after the rhod of death even then thats still around 123-5. lift off the accel on the S-turn before the rhod and don't be afraid to downshift and upshift really quickly to make your car sorta "drift" i do this only on the hairpins though. prepare for understeer on the left hand curve before the last right hand curve on akina too, hence there is TONS of understeer for the left curve.

dc2 sucks in version 3. in version 2 though its weakness is akagi wet, myogi, usui (not a high top speed) but it can EASILY beat rx7's since it has a faster start-up in the first two gears (just push your car into them before 3rd gear) and you can block the whole way. if we are talking about version 3, its sorta like... what level doesn't it suck at? and thats really only happougahara.

on iro just take most of the turns in 3rd i must emphasize CLEAN TURNS though so you can upshift to fourth and get that fourth gear acceleration for ya going.

and yes, he just doesn't know irohazaka that well, its not bad... probably just doesn't play it that much. it gets easier after time.

aiight thanx duluth dude ur a topz playa!
wat car do u use for initial d?

i mostly use mah evo III

aiight thanx duluth dude ur a topz playa!
wat car do u use for initial d?

i mostly use mah evo III

i drive anything i can. after i full tune a card i just start another one so i have quite a few that i play. my favorite is the evo's and trueno.

Aye, duluth do you have an AE85?

Aye, duluth do you have an AE85?

yeah but i don't getta play that much i live quite far away from initial-d version 3. but i have 1 full tuned trueno and a 120,000 point evo 3/5. i have tons of non-played cars like the 85 the only time i tried it is when i bought it. i just read a lot about how to play id, i still needa work on my times too! :grinno: i wanna buy special stage though....

Special Stage Eh? I heard you need a MOD chip to play that. Anywho, anyone hear any news about Special Stage comming to America?? I heard if Arcade Stage v.3 does really well they're gonna bring Special stage over seas.

its easier just to get a japanese ps2 + its legal to do it that way while mod chips aren't. special stage i doubt is coming to america, they've already had 1 gba game 1 ps game 1 ps2 game and i'm sure there might be more? while american games that one by valusoft is just utter shit. all of there games were a lot better than that valusoft one. if they do send it overseas, it'll be really stupid and have tokyopop translations and hardly be worth playing. if you don't know what i mean go buy that initial-d game thats out for pc.

They're selling the Japanese one the original copy and stuff. You just need the MOD chip to play Japanese games thats all. Dang, thats alot of Initial D games I didnt know about. You try that Initial D game for PC? That Mountain Racer or whatever.

thats the volusoft one. they are making some sorta online initial-d game though. but i prefer buying a japanese ps2 and keeping the warrant plus i don't have to soder anything. if i did the warrant would be void plus i'd be out 150 bucks.

Either way your gonna spend another 150$ if you think about it. Your gonna buy a japanese PS2 and whatever shipping and stuff or you can buy a MOD chip and lose the 150$ warranty same thing. But, I dunno the Japanese PS2 sounds alot better than the MOd chip. Online Initial D? Thats awesome. Can you give me any info on that?

i bought the valusoft version of initial d ya'll a while back ago...and man can i say...that game is fuct to tha max!!!!!!!!!!.....LOL!!!
what a waste of $20 aussie dollars i'm tellin ya!
when it first started it up..i knew it was shit to the max!!! and i think duluth knows what i'm talkin bout by what he said bout that valusoft shit.
so the next day i refunded it and played $20 bucks worth of initial d ver2 (i'm playin ver 2 rite now, but we also got ver3).
but i'd rather purchase a jap ps2, really wouldnt want to fuck up the warranty on ya good ps2, if ya get tha jap 1, u can use it for play special stage, and keep $150 on sumpin' else, dats da best idea i'm wit akinaspecialist on dat 1

aw fuck that sounds confusin in mah reply.
aw i get it now, ya dont get $150 bucks to keep..duh!
fuck thats slack
aw i'm feelin bit cheap rite now, i'm b playin d again 2moz and i gots ta race mah level 13 dc2 friend on iro reverse, and i really want the win, since dem cheap asses get home course boost i'ma pretend to press the brake...hehehe...dats so sly!!!
but i hate it when utha pplz do it on ya aswell!!!
rrggghh pisses me off

Hahaha. Well tell us if you win. So the valusoft version equals worthless? Why is that? I mean did it just suck that much. Was it the same thing in the arcade? I dont know much about the game.

i posted info about the initial-d online awhile back, might wanna search all my posts for the link 'cause i forgot it.

yes, the music sucked in it to. not to mention the wanna be "street talk". let alone game play made enough of us wanna puke. the game deserves a 0/10, reminds me of the japanese ps1 initial-d except that was a lot better than this crap.

AGHHHHHHHHH Damn that scares me from ever wanting that game. Lol Wanna be street talk like what? Yo foo wanna race?! I aint racin that Panda Trueno that foo is Janky!! Thats hilarious.

Well took on Akina DH with my S13. Beat my 86 time by two seconds. I wonder what it is about the S13 and my 86 but after three tries with my S13 I already beat my time with my 86. I've been using the hachi since version 1!!! Whats wrong with my doc?

i say you just don't understand the car yet. keep driving it, you'll eventualy get it.

I hope so. Im already feeling alot better with the S13. Haha The pssh when I shift is very motivating during a race. Its fun. But I'll try to keep at the 86. But who knows maybe it isnt the car for me

hhhmmm....i think i'm partially on the same boat as you....took me a while with my evo III, but i didnt really get the feel of it untill i reached at least over 300k points, but then again i feel lyke kyoichi sudou, lyke racin recklessly then finding the way of how the opponent races, then drive with a well tuned car...and even better the misfiring system comes in handy...acting all n/a on corners and fast on straits...i just luv it!!

so dont feel so bummed out akinaspecialist....it really does take time to feel out your car, ya prolly have to either tighten or losen your steering...but even that takes time to adjust to.

p.s has any of you tried that new game midnight R maximum tuned

aw and i lost to my fag friend cheap ass dc2 stooge on iro reverse if u wanted to know akina specialist i really tried to get away with the no foot break thing but he was checkin me so i had to

rrrgghhh..i wanted to verse him on akagi uphill wet but ran out of tokens to play him....rrrrgghhh
but i doubt the outcome would have changed..even if it is the flaw of that stupid car.

Wow, I was so frickin scared. I got banned. But, anywho I got let back in. :D Thank you, you know who. Anyways. We all lose every no and then. Try beating him on a course where the DC2 isnt so powerful. I mean even though he has an uber advantage dont take away his whole advantage and such.

Anyways that sucks. I guess I should stick with my 86. I figured out where I crap out on Akina. Its on those first two hairpins. After that the long straight its cuz im not exiting the final hairpin right. I'll fix that soon. Im starting to gutter the RHOD! Woo! My exit speed on that is getting better. Hopefully my S-turns speed will get better after the final haipin. Imma slowly get better now that I know what Im doing wrong.

cool cool!

has any ever seen that game midnight r maximum tuned

ACK! I HATE Shomaru Pass!

Not only did I barely manage to defeat the CPU's but I couldn't even get past one of the best people in town!

That track is so narrow, once you get the lead, you might as well have wasted your tokens.

Yeah Shomaru is gay. We don't believe in blocking at the arcade I goto. Well not complete blocking anyways. Theres always line blocking.

Line Blocking: Meaning you take the best line forcing you opponent to take the worse line.

Other than that we dont use those cheating Shingo tactics. Smashing someone at the start and forcing them into the railing. Blocking them on straightaways. Smashing them into a wall as they try to pass you. And there are certain parts where you can pass someone on Shomaru, so good luck. Don't hit any walls and pass them from the inside when they give you enough room during a turn.

iz dat rx-8 da cheap ass car for dat version utha than the evos....evos iz sick!!!

Eh, nah. RX-8 just has a really good start up. So I think thats what attract people other than that the RX-8 blows. The evo is a hard car to go up against. Especially in weather conditions someone in an FR is gonna have real problems.

its "god" car but both on dry and on wet certain cars can beat it pretty easily. 34 for wet/snow and gdb for dry. of course blocking is needed but its not like dc2 where it has endless home course stages and godly times. the evo is good but slow start-up.. same for the capp.

So, the RX-8 is mostly an all-around car? Yeah, the R34 got an upgrade and is actually somewhat good now. The R32 is the best car over here at my arcade on DH AK S. 4WD is superiority in the snow no matter what.

UPDATE:

At the arcade today, I've defeated people a total of 9 times and lost 2.

I've deated the WHOLE Legend Of The Streets mode including all the bosses (including Bunta), my Trueno is now up to 690,000+ points, my Battle Level is now 10, defeated Bunta on Irohazaka DH.

And since I've beaten Bunta, I think my time on Akina DH Dry is now 3' 10".

And it seems that I've made a reputation at the arcade because these guys were asking if I was "Jim". :biggrin:


Sorry, just real happy today.

Hahaha. Congratulations Keitaro man. Your alot faster than me still. But, who knows if we did race either of us could win. Racing another person is alot different than racing on time attack. You get nervous cuz they're right on your ass and sometimes you make more mistakes cuz of the pressure. The fastest vs. time for me was 3'12" on AK DH Dry

hhhhmmm.....congrats to ya keitaro!!!
props to ya
i played version 2 coz dats da version i'm playin
thurr this dude that i raced alot a fair while ago, with a automatic skyline(LOL!!!!). but its wack
he races heaps and he aint even finished all the levels....i raced him and all this...and i shit myself when i saw his battle level was 11 (while mine was only 4)....so i was worried and he was all lyke "aw i've got 400k points now on mah skyline"..and i was lyke "ok"....he raced me on irohazaka..LOL!!! (i gots evo III...LOL!! EMPERORS RULE!!)
we bout to start da race and yeah, i see his aura and all dis (raced speed boost off) and so we begin da race on iro, and just abit after the strait. hes all lyke "aw i think the speed boost is on" and i'm lyke "no"...i keep up with him till the third hairpin and over take him on the outside..and i was lyke "FUCK YEAH"...then i beat him by lyke 200+metres...anyways it was funny but i thought it was fuckt that i dint go up a level..but he battle leveled down...does that mean he loses his aura??
and mah couzin is already a lvl 5 and aint finished all da levels yet..i'm so cut but at the same time i'm happy coz i won....i thought i was gon' have to get mah back on iro reverse

Racing another person is alot different than racing on time attack. You get nervous cuz they're right on your ass and sometimes you make more mistakes cuz of the pressure.

People aren't my problem, well they are, but I'm more worried about defeating Bunta. That guy was totally on my ass at Iro DH, no more than 4.5 - 25 meters behind me on average, even with the jumps.


And about the people, I've seen people at my arcade with a LEVEL 10 on IRO DH. And I just defeated LV 1 Bunta. >_<

Bunta is an over-rated deuche bag. I said it. But, my problem is people. I went to a new arcade today! These guys block all day and night. They lost alot because I learned there tricks and braked so they crash and mess up there accel. Haha jackarases.
Anyways. We need to start up another talk about initial d. Wanna discuss the differences between all the EVO's besides the final upgrades? I believe the EVO iii is the best, anti-lag(miss-firing system)whatever you wanna call its is cool with me. But that is awesome. The fact that its a proffesional upgrade and he added it to his car. Thats just nuts. But like Takumi said, "That bang bang bang! From that car is annoying!" Anyone wanna make some imput on that?

I actually got a EVO 3 and EVO 5.

The 5 I got recently and it handles less than the EVO 3 and it doesn't have the acceleration 3 does.


BTW, how do you defeat Bunta? On any of the tracks?

Woo. Imma grab an EVOiii! Thanks for your input. Oh, you just gotta be good. Beating Bunta on Myogi=hard. You gotta keep your car at 201 the whole way through or you lose. Bunta is fast but not impossible to beat.

yeah oi akinaspecialist get an EvoIII coz i've got 1 and its really hot....i mean even ryouske said it himself in 2nd stage, when takumi races kyoichi sudou on akagi " you could say kouichi's turbo tuning is the best"
and i believe that it is true.
I LOVE MY MISFIRING SYSTEM!!!
but the flaw with getting 1 is that, u can't change the course of the EVO III once u choose the kyoichi course (course A) to get the misfiring system. you can only stay on course A and you cant change the muffler or else you lose the misfiring system...so there are benefits to be had but also things to be lost, you can still get rim changes and rear spoiler changes, just dont change ur exhaust.
a dude at my arcade did that and he lost his misfiring system for 60 plays...he cried (lol) but not really he just got upset...
so yeah...there you go akina specialist
play on dawg and represent !EMPEROR!

I didn't know that. My EVO 3 has the Course B parts.

evo4 is the strongest, evo3 is just good on the uphill. 5 is probably the most usntable of all of them. to beat bunta 15 star, be fast at the stage or block him for a few seconds.

Five Unstable? You mean crappy handling or just the worse evo in the game? Whats so special about the EVOIV? Does it get a miss-firing system? You beat Bunta on Myogi or which stage? I heard Bunta LVL 15 is just impossible to beat on Downhill Akina. His time is like, unbelieveable.

EvoIV just has good handling and acceleration. EvoIII with ALS is fast off the line and are all just good uphill, like the Celica. When I say crappy handling I mean, unstable handling. At highspeeds or after taking turns at fast speeds the car is unstable and hard to control.

Akina 15 star bunta is not that bad since it changes to the snow at 11 stars. Hard bunta stages are definitely Shomaru, Tsuchizaka, Irohazka, and Akagi. He WAS impossible in version 2, the person who held the world record couldn't even beat the 30th star.

oh shit!!!! eh,
did you get the misfiring system??
well if you didnt you can only get on course A.
the character course, it sucks dat it only gets 2 upgrades but its worth it, da misfiring system is mad.
every one that doesnt know that at mah arcade they get shit scared coz they all lyke " oh shit! how did you get those flames comming out of your car?" and i'm all like " umm..its a secret" LOL!
keitaro. didnt you know that you need to have course A to get da misfiring system????.
well you do now

lyke all the A course cars with most of them get the special thing of the character
e.g course A trueno(takumi) special upgrade is the AE 101 engine
course A rx-7 FD3S(keisuk) large single turbine upgrade
course A levin AE86(wataru) supercharger
Course A EVO III )kyouichi misfiring system.

i played version 3 2day there was these stooges that was playing then they left, the dude that won didnt know he had an extra game...LOL!!!
so i played the stooge chose the EVO VII, its not bad, after the stooges left sum guy versed me wit a stock altezza on tsuchizaika, and i beat him, so anutha free game for me...yay!!!...the EVO VII wasnt bad on tsuchizaika, i lyked it, then mah stooge friend versed me on tsuchizaika wit his gay rx-8, i trailed for lyke 3 points of the way but i fuckt it when apart of the course starts to go downhill and it has turns where ya gots to lock it a fair amount of times, then i lost.
i think i might get an EVO III for version 3
EMPEROR IZ KING OF THE MOUNTAIN!!!

Woo, I had two awesome battles yesterday. One against a Hachiroku and one against that damn DC2. I feel crappy. I lost to a DC2 with my 86 on Downhill Akina. I got over taken on the worse spot...that damn right left turn right before that last hairpin. Then against the hachi I got over taken on the long left turn right before that right before the finish. I gave him too much room on the inside!! I was like NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO The whole way he passed me. It wasnt all super fast it was slow. Awesome battle though. My record on DH AK 3'11. Im hoping to get two seconds faster. When I get the money. EVOIV or EVOiii Here I come!

version 2 or version 3? if its version 2 you can block a dc2 in the begining... juts make sure you cut him off before the top end of second gear.

This was version three. This guy was amazing. I thought I had him whooped from the first turn. I was doing everything right until the five-hairpins of death. I exited tooo slow. I crapped up bad and he passed me. Version two=whack. No one should dare play that game with a DC2.

hey!!!
don't diss version 2, version 2 is sick!!!
but fuck yeah those dc2 piss me the fuck off i've got a cheap ass couzin wit a dc2, when ever he races he does akina downhill, and not even the 86 beats its fuckt up godly times.
maybe your just not skilled enough, i dont doubt you, its just that when you verse a dc2 in ver2 or ver3 skill doesnt count so much but strategy does, find its flawed levels and kick they fuckin asses!!!

dc2 only has a few flawed levels... myogi, usui, and akagi wet. anything else, dc2 can beat the home course car or IS the home course car. it can beat an rx7 off the line on akagi, capp and trueno off the line on akina (if he doesn't cut him off with the trueno), and if the dc2 driver is good, its pointless to challenge him on stages like irohazaka and happougahara... strategy doesn't matter as much as the car but the car doesn't matter unless you have some skill.
