Anyone Drive an initial d car actually?

[alesserfate]

im jus tryin to give you advice! but sure rx7 is a niec car to fly around in XD, my frnd had one till it ate up the bolts.

[Aerowitz]

Well yeah. I said it would be my second car, so obviously it wouldn't be my daily driver. It is one hell of a fun car to drive (I've driven two in the past).

Oh yeah, Total_Eclipse, that is one nice GC8.

If anyone is interested, I can post pics of my MK4 Jetta, but it's in desperate need of a wash right now...in -15 degree weather.

Holy ship!! Take a look at rich boy! ^ Dang. That looks crazy!

Wow..............well I currently drive an 87 Celica and I love that lil thing with all my heart. Its a damn good car if you ask me. Im actually gonna get somthing pretty close to Tak's car in Initial D. Unfortunately its the Amercan version(left side) but Im gonna but my frends AE92 Trueno Sprinter GT-S from him.
I have a few pics of it but how do u insert pics again?

There is/was no AE92 sprinter in Initial d. Besides, the ae92 is fwd, and for the record, there never was a "sprinter trueno" in the us. You get corolla sr5 or corolla gt-s, 83-87, ae86 chassis.

to insert pics you do this : [img]insert the url of the pic here[/img]

Well...obviously a Turbo II only has 200rwhp and Ryosuke has like 340-360hp in his beast, so I guess I'm in it for the looks, and not the power, seeing as engine upgrades cost a lot more than stickers...
he can get the car for around $800 while a stock Corolla GT-S is generally running at about $6,000. I can get a Turbo II for less than that, and I most definitely will!

stickers = ghey. 91 turbos can be fournd for 6k, but you may want to look at a non-turbo version (160hp) if you never owned or dont know anyone who owns a turbo rotary.

i dont think ryosuke's FC had more than 300hp. keisuke's the one with 360hp.

Forget the FC anyways. The deal fell through. Now I'm just lookin' at a nice MKIII Jetta GLX.
Better gas mileage + more passenger capacity + huge ass trunk = happiness. Three things the FC does not have that I want in a car...

Now to end this horsepower squabble.

In the books before the race between Takumi and Ryosuke, the technical information that preceded the actual story rated Ryosuke's FC3S as having 360hp. I wouldn't doubt that knowing how rich he is. Now, before Ryosuke raced Takumi, he lowered the power to 280hp to make the race more balanced, and as the technical information center states in book 14 (the most recent one I have), he still has it kept at 280hp. I'm quoting this as I am looking at the pages, so don't think for a second that I'm bullshitting you. Go buy the damn books and prove me wrong.

Jeez........a little too serious eh there? I said something"CLOSE TO AN INITIAL D CAR" Guess my frend was confused...........
Well heres what I was looking at.....

[drftk1d]

yep, AE92, FWD. Good engine for that size car though.

[Aerowitz]

Yeah, but I wouldn't be caught dead driving that thing. I dunno, but those retractable lights look so weird to me.

Har har. I found a Jetta III GLX and a Scirocco (Scirrocco? Scirroco?) 16V in Ames today. I am a very happy man now. Maybe I should get both...

[Aerowitz]

Oh, and I just confirmed this from Initial D vol. 4, page 154.
Keisuke: "Let's see, you were pushing 340hp before. What did you kick it up to?"
Ryosuke: "Well...in terms of HP...I've tweaked it to max out at 240."
I read through the damn series again just to find this. I dunno how he got that much power, but he did. Yay. Can I go home now?

[drftk1d]

Scirocco? old school, thats nice.

[Aerowitz]

Damn fine looking, too. Fast little buggers if you tune them right.

[ID_racer]

dont take this offensivly its a joke but...................you crazy. Nah personally i love eyelids/retractables.

[MR2Driver]

Same here, i drive an MR2 Turbo

but the MR2 in ID was a non turbo...

[TheHessien]

Well, that depends on how close you want me to get.

I own a 85' Corolla GT-S. Its not White and Black and it dosent say "Fujiwara Tofu Shop" across the side. In fact its not even a Hatch Back. Mines the coupe, and its...kinda red, sun faded, to more of a...warm. The cars a blast to drive, and im just starting to realy practice drifting. The bigest difference between the GT-S and the SR5 is the 4AG-E, where the SR5 has the 4AE7-3X Carburated SOHC; and the lack of an LSD.
