If Takumi would drive a 4WD, he'd look good on a Toyota Celica GT-4 ST185... I remember seeing a Sega Rally 2 mod where this guy made the Celica ST185 look like an AE86...
 
I'd love to see an Impreza taking on a LanEvo... That would be a fair match... Takumi defeated the LanEvo4 because he was familiar with the course... He knew when to use the Gutter Grip... Keisuke also did a Gutter Grip but only with the rear wheel... Both wheels weren't in the gutter...

Exactly! Takumi knew that only to well. He admitted right after the race that he knows he only won because it was in Akina. And in Akina, no one can beat him. If it were anyone else driving the 86, it would have been beaten thoroughly by the Evo IV. And not only that, if Seiji had followed Kyouichi's orders, I believe he would have beaten Takumi. That's why I like 'Initial D'... There is a plausible reason for Takumi winning even if it seems hardly possible.

No, Keisuke went on top of the pavement in Myougi against Nakazato. He ran out of road.

**** my bad. I was fukking stupid anfd I didn't even look, I just suspected they didn't have them in the U.S. (I thought one would have to buy it threw an importer like with the DVDs). I found them at the barnes & noble web site.

But it looked like Keisuke dropped his rear wheel on the gutter...

By the way, I pulled off the Gutter Drift in GT1 at Clumban Stage R5... :)
 
You've got to love Initial D for what it is... One of my favorite sound effects is the R32 GT-R's hissing sound when it's running...

that would be the turbo blowback or wutever lol dunno the correct terminology...but it does somethin with da turbo slowin down when you let go of throttle

i think that was actually Takumi cuz i don't ever recall takumi's dad racing the RX-7
the drift was a Kansei Drift

Definition

Kansei Drift- this is performed at race speeds, when entering a high speed corner a driver lifts his foot off the throttle to induce a mild over steer and then balances the drift through steering and throttle motions. Note that the car that is being used for this style of drift should be a neutral balanced car therefore the over steer will induce itself. If the car plows through any turn this technique will not work.

That's the blow-off valve. It's to release pressure that is going back into the turbine when the throttle is closed. So, whenever the revs are high enough, and you lift-off, you'll hear the sound. If it wasn't there, the turbine would break. The R32 GT-R comes with a blow-off valve stock.

If you ask me, the coolest blow-off valve sound is the one from Akiyama Wataru's turbo Levin. Sounds almost completely like a whistle. At first, I was convinced it was the HKS's Super SQV blow-off valve (I have one, and so does everyone else), but it was way too whistly...

Depends on who you ask, but historically, it's known as the 'Scandinavian Flick'. A Scandinavian (you guessed it) rally driver invented it. In Japan, it's also known as a 'feint drift', as Keiichi Tsuchiya likes to call it.

No, that was Takumi driving. Bunta has not delivered tofu in five years. Confirmed when Takumi admitted that he had already beaten Keisuke once just before their race.

The only racer that Bunta encountered in Akina is Kogashiwa Kai. Hey, that's me :lol:

It's not about the turbo slowing down. The turbine is pumping air into the throttlebody when stepping on it. Lifting-off the throttle closes the throttlebody, and this will cause the pressure to force its way back into the turbine. This break the turbine (the shaft) as this pressure tries to make it spin the over way from like 100,000>rpms. The blow-off valve releases this pressure into the atmosphere.

People have gotten quite imaginative with blow-off valves like HKS's Super SQV. Makes a whistling sound kind of like a bird. Really cool.

Light pressure turbos don't need a blow-off valve. There's just a hose feeing it back into the induction.

Actually Takumi was the one who raced Keisuke in the first episode. And what he performed, according to Keisuke, was the Intertia Drift. Strangely, instead of saying "Intertia Drift" in the Battle Stage, Keisuke said "A Perfect Drift?"

The R32 GT-R became my favorite for a while. But I wonder. Do the R33 and R34 GT-Rs have the same sound?
 
Inertial drift is basically the technical name for that type of drift where you turn the car the opposite direction of your intended direction first, then swing it back to the direction you want. This works off of the suspension which is compressed and waiting to rebound. This technique which requires some good timing to use the rebound of the suspension and the inertia of the rear of the car in a pendulum like way. That's why it swings a lot fast and easier.

The first 'name' given to this technique is the 'Scandinavian Flick'. The Japanese like to call this a 'feint drift' as the first setup flick is kind of like a feint.
 
Is that inertial drift?? According to the tutorials in AM, an inertial drift is where you lift you foot off the accelerator as you turn and uses cars interia/momentum to induce oversteer??
 
Inertia drift is when you toss the car around alot.. think about it
the name coems from USING intertia..... :p
the car's inertia is thrown around and used by the driver to his advantage to help him corner better... thats my concept..
 
By the way, what do the characters mean when they say "High Octane"? Is there a gasoline with that name? The only types of gasoline I know are Premium, Regular, Unleaded and Diesel.
 
When they ask for high octane gas they want the best gas (with the highest octane, it burns quicker but is better for the engine and it makes more power), in Japan I think there's like 100 octane. It's better then the premium unleaded in the U.S.

Yeah. For cars using turbo, the higher octane petrol will have higher flash points and so will avoid engine knock. Where the petrol gets too hot and ignites before it reaches the combustion chamber.
