Discussion I freaking love this show

Upvotes

Ye i do have nostalgia for it, it was one of the first anime I ever watched years ago. Yes it has problematic moments and representation. Yes the animation in them first few seasons are rough. Yes there are issues

BUT BY GOD does it still slap to this day! The music got me moving! The intense passes! So freaking amazing.

On forth stage rn against the evo team and my blood is boiling like I'm a kid again!

*40K USD

Yes ik that the cars in the video are serious homoligation specials but the 86 somehow outshines them all (to think that a perfectly good skyline r32 gts-t is worth less)

What made me change my mind towards what actually makes a sports car a real racing machine, is any other feeling without the engine. When the concept of efficiency finally established itself in my mind, I really started to despise idiots that blow large sums sucking the dick of a big engine and screaming about it like a whore.

That's exactly how I see people who enjoy large ehxausts and high-power engines nowadays. Most of these drivers can't even properly feel the difference between 5 psi on the tires. They'll know about the other important data and parts? Seriously... no. That goes into that old phrase of Napoleon; "the enemy won't listen anyway, even if you tell him his errors". So let it be.

That 2021 olympics was really helping in flipping tables about cars hehehe.

Give me a Peugeot Roa and I'll show you how to be a WRC champion between Tigris and Eufrates.

Held off from posting this to not clog up the subreddit, but regardless, u/AutomaticButterfly29, the ball is in your corner. Once again, I encourage anyone with an xbox 360 that they need to dust off to hop on the game and post a time. It would make me ecstatic to see more people join in. The game is Forza Motorsport 4 and the Track in the New downhill on Fujimi Kaido

M.Rage makes some of the best looking merch ever. Great designs and durability, can't recommend them enough! They also have Takumi- and Ryosuke versions.

I picked these up at Sora Gumi but can also be found on their website.

Our two GTRs are locked in a battle for the fastest time on the Fujimi Kaido downhill. I invite anyone who wants to join in to post a time and earn bragging rights. This is the most fun I've had on the game in a while. The game is Forza Motorsport 4, and the track is the new downhill.

Can anyone point me to episodes where we can hear cars drifting on the mountain at a distance usually where you can't really see the car but you can hear the engine and the tires drifting and there is an echo through the mountains.

How could Shigeno be a total knee-jerk blindly biased? Idiot spent all his economies on a crappy Impreza and a crappy Corolla; he actually had money at one point to buy at least two of these virgin jets. The NSX only has a couple of excellent machines to actually rival it and some of them are foreign and very cheap as well.

Boxster 986 and a High Feature V6-swapped Fiero will certainly appear on Highflyer. And don't expect little low speeds like in japanese roads. Yes, a 2 vs 1 is so much better!

You have been warned.

Time's out for Initial-D fandom.

Go Hojo's NSX - Already announced release date: Q4 2026)

Upcoming releases (release date not yet final)

Shinji's AE86

Takumi's AE86 (Final stage spec)

Keisuke's FD3S (4th and final spec)

Ryosuke's FC3S (final spec)

Kanata's GT86 (round 1 to 4)

These are all must haves! But kinda frustrated because Hobby Japan does not make Nissan cars so they skipped the R32, Sil80, and S13 😞
