Uhhh...why will you get acceleration penalty even if you didn't hit anything while going thru the corner? | ||

maybe they decided to be even more realistic and put in turbo lag? or w.e other mechanical problems there might be. | ||

O.o Huh? as in [ taking a corner where this acceleration stall happens ], the speed stalls all the way to the next corner? O.O | ||

However, had you braked into the fireworks straight and then exit around 134 (or even down to 125!!!), you come out into the initial straight and hit almost 160 before the small right turn!!! And because the speed is above the rev limit of the previous gear, you don't need to stay on the 140s. You can lose up to 3 seconds on CP4 because you didn't hit anything but entered too fast. BTW... Macao now has ID4. |

IDW Special Member Group: Members Posts: 272 Member No.: 17,323 Joined: Apr 18th 2006 Location: 新之城@旺角(HK) | I only played a few TAs after full tuning it. Will do more TA's tomorrow after going to the gym in the morning. I need to find out if there is a way to increase the acceleration rather than just maintaining the original. From the videos on youtube, it seems that my Evo9 is damn slow picking up speed on the 6th gear even without any apparent penalty. Same with the AE86... there are things still need to be investigated. I'll post the info as we find them. This post has been edited by Odie on May 13 2007, 09:19 PM |

Sega will be rolling them out in mid-June and hopefully will see it before the end of the month. Not a lot of arcades have ordered them though. Low in stocks or not popular? Since this is the English version, other countries will see the game very soon. Taiwan should get it early July and so expect to pay a lot of Initial D School fees in NA soon XD |

PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO GET TO ONE! i wanna try stompin' on the locals ^^. ha. i know thats cocky esp considerin i havent played in 2 months but still i started in january so should have more experience than most. regardless i just wanna play damnit><. help me please EDIT: nevermind i found one=P. destroyed all the challengers, showed them how to beat bunta, and beat your record on akagi ODIE sorry dude. but only by less than 1.0 second so you should be able to top it next time you play. anyway enough bragging i'll sure get my ass kicked next time i play and be put back in my place ha. regardless i look forward to setting some more records before i go if possible. granted they'll only last a day or 2 but how many people can say they have an initial d record in HK ha This post has been edited by Braja on Jun 6 2007, 01:07 AM |

It was a test run on a stock car running a poor 2'47" or something... ;; My Evo 9 times: Akina Lake 2'43"9 Akina DH 3'03"4 Myogi DH 2'37"x Irohazaka DH 2'47"6 Tsukuba OB 2'48"6 I'll do Akagi properly sometime. Should be able to 2'35" that now. Haven't played in Goldstar for at least a month though. The place sucks. This post has been edited by Odie on Jun 6 2007, 09:37 PM |

IDW Special Member Group: Members Posts: 250 Member No.: 12,029 Joined: Sep 7th 2005 Location: Update Profile | ok i was gonna say that was pretty poor cause akagi is my worst course by far and i only ran it once to beat yours. but didnt wanna rub it in. sounds right then. nice times that sounds more like a regular player. yeah the rankings are messed up too. it didnt record a buncha my times. and theyre all spiratic and random. but seems theres no competition at gold star. where do you play? |

IDW Special Member Group: Members Posts: 250 Member No.: 12,029 Joined: Sep 7th 2005 Location: Update Profile | k cool if i have time i'll check that out. gold star is already boring after a day. i'm shit in japan but here in HK nobody would challenge me and the 3-4 who did i beat by like 400 meters. including one who used boost@.@ i didnt even know that was possible with the cheap boost ver.4 has. anyway it'd be nice to have my ass kicked once to remind me i suck so i retire again (game's a waste of time but an addiction of course. need to get back to life). hope to have some fun. thx again for the info. good gaming |

IDW Special Member Group: Members Posts: 272 Member No.: 17,323 Joined: Apr 18th 2006 Location: 新之城@旺角(HK) | For the actual direction, take the red MTR line (towards Tsuen Wan) and get off at Cheung Sha Wan. Exit A (it spilts into A1-A3 I think) and take the one all the way to the end and A2 should be on your left. Go up the escalators and you will make it to the outside world. Walk straight along and cross that small road and carry on until you see the next main road with traffic lights. Cross over and turn right (you will pass the public toilets). Straight on for about 30 seconds and Super Kings is on your left inside a small shopping centre downstairs. I'll be there this Saturday evening with CKF around 7pm |

IDW Special Member Group: Members Posts: 272 Member No.: 17,323 Joined: Apr 18th 2006 Location: 新之城@旺角(HK) | AIN used to be Final Mission I believe (the same team as CKF previously) MAN B is from another forum who has loads of records on ID3. http://ranking.segarosso.com/inidas3/n2_ra...r=&area=&comm=1 <-- #3 Didn't go last night but will be in another 6 hours time. Akina DH must 58" somehow. Currently on 2'59"6 btw, which part of Japan do you play? Kanagawa by any chance? If you ever see 9.6 play, can you check and see if he really exits the RHOD at 149 and pass checkpoint at 157 for me? Also if possible note his entry speed before RHOD. I think thats where the 2'58" lies. CP1 and CP4 can match 9.6 but getting PWNED by CP2 and CP3. This post has been edited by Odie on Jun 8 2007, 07:50 PM |

IDW Special Member Group: Members Posts: 250 Member No.: 12,029 Joined: Sep 7th 2005 Location: Update Profile | all right even if i stopped playin i can at least try some recon for ya. but japan is a bit more vast than HK. i play in tokyo but close enough to kanagawa. might be easier to find asakurayume (#2 - 2'58"578). i used to play everyday with him during the beta testing. the guys i play with should know where to find him. problem is that since official release all the top players scattered. regardless i'll let ya know when i know. |

Work sucks here.. long hours and Mon-Sat. When I go to Japan with my friend (maybe in August) i'll let you know in advance. We'll most likely be playing in Akihabara Club Sega. |

IDW Special Member Group: Members Posts: 272 Member No.: 17,323 Joined: Apr 18th 2006 Location: 新之城@旺角(HK) | Lets hit this place and try out Initial D 4 Limited. I'd love to ride on that yellow FD and swing like the Cycraft. http://sega.jp/joypolis/tokyo/topics/070613_1/ On a side note, all 10 ID4 cabs in HK have been removed. That means two things: 1) No more TA tonight 2) Official machines will be here by the end of the week. 3) I can't count |
