Is there anyone in the Tallahassee FL area that know whether or not there is an arcade in the Mall?

That's a question for the Arcade section, try searching in the teams/locations subforum

Sheesh...it's really been too long.

ID FNG - The prostitute question has been asked and answered about a million times, but yes, Naz does do the nasty with Papa. The exact extent isn't know, but it is most definitely a sexual relationship. For money. This is NOT a big mystery in the translated manga, BTW. (They play it down a tiny bit in volume 1 and do a bit of "artful draping" in volume 9, but it all becomes very clear soon enough.)

There's no word on whether Miki and Papa are related (the rumor about Miki being his son is based on a faulty translation). They almost certainly aren't. Shigeno-san's never developed either character beyond their minor arcs, so it's a non-issue anyway.

The subtitled version is like it is in the original...no nicks, no "Westernized" slang, nuthin'. (I won't debate the accuracy of the translations, although from what I know, I think they're perfectly fine.) You're never forced to watch the dub, so don't worry about that.

As for censorship, Tokyopop altered two panels...the only two explicitly nude/sexual panels in the entire manga (I don't know about the anime). Many possible reasons why they did this, but the most likely one is that they didn't want two lousy panels flagging the entire series with the "Adult" label, which can cause no end of trouble when it comes to marketability (just ask Frank Cho). Frankly, if a few lines of sexual innuendo and a bunch of skin pics are that important to you, you need to find another series, pal. Initial D is extremely light on intimate relationships, much less doing the nasty.

Oh, in case that pizza delivery thing hasn't been completely stamped out by now (I have the sinking feeling that it still isn't): It was proposed at one point when Tokyopop was trying to work out a TV deal. The deal never materalized, and it was dropped. There are no pizza references of any kind in the translated manga or anime. Feel better now?

P.S. - For the love of Pete, rent.

i was wondering, the battle between kai and takumi in third stage movie. when takumi had done the jumps for his very first time, and we got a glimpse of what was under the trueno. well, i dont noe about you but i saw some blue glowing thingy. my guess is that its the water cooler that bin shown really brightly somehow. well i need a professional opinion. so wat do you say?

never knew of this, can you show pics at to show what you mean or maybe someone else can?

here ya go;





excuse the bad quality

thats the one!!!! nice man. so yah wat do you soppose you think it is?

id say its the 86's soul......cant think of anything else

hmm maybe takumis aura? he does have a blue 1 (turquoise.. hmm how to spell?)

logically, may be it's just the reflection of the metal structure..

how can it be so bright on a mountain path, also the sw20 didnt have the light i sun fink

its just an anime i think they wre trying to show how good the leap was from the 86

When I first saw an AMV of that battle (saw the AMV before seeing the movie), I was confused as to what those glows were as well.

I'm gonna go with an aural effect. (my first thought was, "Oh look! Boosters!")

There isn't anything to reflect off of the structure except the SW20's tail lights, which are red, not blue (Kai's no ricer!). There aren't any lights on Irohazaka's hairpins, so it's not that either.

Just a few facts...

First off the Hachi-Roku was produced from 1984-1987

2nd - The JDM HP rating of the factory bluetop 4age was around 130 and the USDM 115hp.

3rd The AE101 20v 4age wouldn't have been imported from another country for the simple fact they were made in Japan as later model Front Wheel Drive Truenos. The Silvertop 20v in Takumi's engine bay in real life produced 160hp from the factory and turned 8,200rpm. Now a highly modified 20v can reach 250hp, but it would be very costly.

Now as far as the bottom of the 86 in the jump thing, I could take a pic of the bottom of my car? lol. Maybe I should go watch that again and see for myself, guess I never really noticed it before.

hi guys...
i just started watching Initial D 1st stage...
and i got some questions...
1) What is the diff between FC3s and FD3s?
2) Is there any diff when u drift a FF and a FR?

check these links. tons of info
FC - 2nd generation RX-7
FD - 3rd generation RX-7

well, of course
for little example look in Drift Diagrams

Yes! You can drift an FR and you can't drift an FF. That's the difference. ^-^

Check out the Technical Forums for more information on drifting.

FF "drift" is called "ass dragging"

Not gonna get into it. That's a topic for the Technical forums. XP

Smile and nod, smile and nod...

i know... i know... forever flammable topic

hi.. me again...
ive watched till bunta changed the engine in the AE86..
takumi tested the car and it is Damn Slow!
why is that so?
though ive watched akiyama explained to takumi (he understand but i dont get it!)... lol...
1 more question, wat is the diff between and the levin 86 that akiyama drove and trueno 86 that takumi drove?
can someone explained it to me?
thank you very much!

His shifting was wrong

because he was revving like with the old engine.
with new engine he must rev to 11000rpm to unleash its full potential.

The difference between Wataru's Levin and Takumi's Trueno is simple, if we're talking about performance:

Takumi's engine is a naturally-aspirated race engine. Wataru's engine is a turbocharged 4A-GE. They run of different theories. I'm guessing you're up to as far as the TokyoPop DVDs (as they left off before we could really see the Levin in action).

So yeah. Takumi = No Turbo, Wataru = Turbo.

FF "drift" is called "ass dragging"

How dare you insult Nomake!
