I originally got this idea back in 2003 from initialdarcade forums, so post up! However, there are going to be some new rules in this thread. This is your first warning. Anyone to break the rules will be warned. This thread is to talk about how your day. How it was interesting, how you got some new records, how you owned a guy who tried to fish you, how you almost got into a fight because of some jackass trying to steal your cellphone while you play. It is not meant to report your battles and times. Anyone that merely reports their day will be warned. Also, do not hold conversations in this thread. If you want to chat about something, do it through IM programs. Finally, if you went to play Initial D, but nothing interesting happened, do not post about it. No one wants to read "I went to play ID today. Did some LotS, and BC. Nothing interesting." Enjoy! |

Lemme know if my post is within the guidelines or not. Tried my 34 somemore on Akina Uphill today. I dropped it to a 3'12"9xx from a 3'13"6xx. Only moved me up 1 spot in the model ranking though =_=. I had one run where I would've had a 12'4, but I messed up the final CP. Tried Usui some after that. Ran 4th for MR for the 34. 2'49"6. C121's were at least 1 km slow, and 2nd lap wide turn was a bit slow, but 1st lap wide turn was fast and tight.

I was always on the verge of breaking 43 on Tsuchi but never actually did. My record is a mid 42 btw. I couldn't even touch my 3:04 on Akina either, I ran like.. 3:06s most of today. I gave up on initial d and went over to guitarfreaks and drummania, only two find two guys whoring the machine. I got pissed off and left. Halfway home I found out I lost 2 cards. I checked, good thing they were newly made cards. I lost a spirit and a fc. ARGH 4 dollars gone. |

Snake is Sony's lone hero Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,480 Member No.: 4,625 Joined: Dec 18th 2004 Location: Update Profile | Went to play today with the intention of playing RX-8 Sho IB... got to the arcade, looked at my wallet and notice my RX-8 card is not there. Whatever, its probably in my messy ass room or something, I think to myself. So I just play some other random shit, got 3'02'2 on Sho IB dry with a 500K 8V, 3'09'8 Akina UH wet with the same 8V, 3'04'2 Sho IB dry with a 70K DC2(this car is fast, suprised the hell out of me, the acceleration is amazing!), and also tried to get the MR2 and S14Q records but with no luck. The majority of these were just a few tries, the only thing that was more then 2-3 tries was the Akina UH wet Anyways, so I got home, and after looking for the last 2 hours, I can't find my RX-8 anywhere >_< Such BS, probably my most important card and I can't find it anywhere... I guess I'll have to inspect my Capp now =S This post has been edited by Excel on Aug 23 2006, 01:26 PM |

IDW Goldmember Group: Advanced Members Posts: 4,294 Member No.: 13,958 Joined: Oct 22nd 2005 Location: Binghamton, New York | Today did not go as I initially intended. Every single one of my time attacks resulted in a force quit because of little mistakes I made. It's frustrating that you're so close to beating your PB or a record on the machine, then you mess up something that seems so easy because you've been doing it for so long, then a day like today shows up and it all goes down the drain. Maybe next time I'll be able to put something decent together. I suppose the only positives out of today is that my RHOD on Akina has improved dramatically.

The Solution Group: Advanced Members Posts: 3,787 Member No.: 2,428 Joined: Aug 1st 2004 Location: Update Profile | Inspired by HNGRY, I've been doing Happo OBD without any techs. Before, I'd whore eraser on this course with most cars I have... but lately I haven't been using it on this course just as an experiment! Capp: 2'24"0xx (with techs) --> 2'22"780 - I LOVE how this car handles here! Maybe I shouldn't have been using eraser after all! I feel I can push this a high 21 without doing anything... but that's quite a goal. FC3S: 2'25"7 --> 2'24"4xx - I did this in two tries. It's my friend's old car which he gave to me. I don't like how this car has a weak 5th gear, but it turns rather well here. I actually felt the car understeer on the hairpins. Evo3: 2'28"7 --> 2'25"818 - Good gawd this car is crap here. It understeers and oversteers at the same time. Seriously! So hard... but I can push this to a mid 25 or even 24 without techs. Funniest moment with the Evo3 today... my friend was talking to me: "Use eraser. You'll understeer without it" "Nah... I won't understeer" *I say this as I exit the huge turn in CP2. Just before the right turn into the L-shaped turn before the snake pins... the car locks up, I turn too late, and completely own this wall* This post has been edited by CoastalmixX on Aug 23 2006, 06:10 PM |

DC2=34th ranked car=RACER LVL 30 !!!!!! Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,104 Member No.: 4,335 Joined: Nov 18th 2004 Location: Los Angeles, California | great day. Managed to defeat bunta twice on akagi and yesterday beat him on iro 8. So project 30 stars is almost near. hahahaha not to mention I leveled up to 28 battle level. Man I barely managed to pass bunta on the very last curve of akagi, slipped by him on the left side, with a time of 2'25. LOL'z I'm not even that good at all in akagi (my TA is a 2'27'2xx) but I managed to block him in the beggining until after the first turn. Twas' fun day. I think I can pull out another win on akagi, as I did race him for 11 star but I messed up at the end of the 2nd lap into the sharp right turn and the lead got real big. =\ anyway, a little off topic but does anyone play at simi valley,ca brunswick bowling place? It has a pretty good idv3 machine. That's my new stomping grounds since it's near my work. This post has been edited by Arcy on Aug 23 2006, 06:25 PM |

IDW Full Member Group: Members Posts: 37 Member No.: 17,563 Joined: May 1st 2006 Location: Miami, FL | For me last Thrusday, was an awsome battle day. I must of ran against several people to include some newbies and some pro's. Here's what happened. First Challange- Nissan 240SX against my FD, on Irohazaka down hill wet. The guy was trash. He would hit the walls back and fowarth like a ping pong ball being hit by paddles. I let him go ahead to see how good he was and realized what i wrote above. So in the end I would try to pass him but the person blocked me on a straight!!! I hate people who block it ain't no technique. finally after being behind this slow newb the 3rd section came about and I owned him!!! Second Challange- Happo FD vs EK Civic. This was a tough challange. the player was actually pretty damn good. however where I lost to him was the up hill portion where the turns are sort of like IRO. however I managed to keep pace with him after that but he owned me. I lost the seat. Thrid Challange- Akina Downhill FD vs 86. This was another deadly battle. I saw my opponents time and it was a 2"99 on Akina DH. It was basically a suicide. lost the seat again. Fourth Challange- Akagi Uphill Wet- FD vs Cappuchino. This was an interesting race. the Capp managed to keep up with me on my course. my specalty is Akagi uphill wet. However I owned him in the last uphill portion which was section 4. Kept the seat. Last Challange- Tsuchi IB wet. FD vs 86. This had to be the fav of all races. It was the same opponent who raced me in Akina DH. around section 2 I think after the tunnel, he turned off his head lights to distract me right before the roller coaster turns. however I then did the same. both of us were in perfect form and cleared the rollers perfectly. it was a tight match but in the end the FD came through and won. any who that was my battle day. |

Slowpoke... Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,605 Member No.: 18,773 Joined: Jul 5th 2006 Location: Philippines | Damn, this was a great Time Attack Day for me. I'm finally getting the hang of the RX-8. I think it's great progress for 2 weeks. I know there's definitely a lot of room for improvement. I know where I made most of my mistakes and I'm all set to try fixing them next time I drop by the arcade. SE3P Akina DH D 3'15 -> 3'11 - I've actually been able to run 3'11 on LotS Bunta already, but this is the first time I've actually time attacked Akina's DH since I first got my RX-8. I'm still struggling with the snake curves (ungassing a lot), but I should be able to run under 3'10 with a little more practice. I'm planning to see how far I can push it without using any techs first, then maybe stick a few erasers here and there. Anyway it's the only SE3P record on the Akina DH D board at the arcade atm. SE3P Happo IB 2'36 -> 2'33 - I'm slowly getting there on Happo. I'm finally getting through CP1 at a decent speed without having my steering lock up on me. The other sections still need work, but at least I'm making progress. SE3P Sho IB 3'11 -> 3'08 - Last week I grabbed the record on the machine (just a 3'13, since I think there was a recent reset and not many people play there anymore), but apparently somebody took my record and ran a 3'10. I promptly knocked off 3 seconds off my personal best... I'm now running a theoretical time of around 3'06. If I can clean everything up even further I'm sure I can get under 3'04, and hopefully under 3'00 eventually. I dunno, but after 2 weeks all I can say is I love this car. It suits my driving style perfectly. I guess I have a new main car. This post has been edited by icedagger on Aug 24 2006, 07:03 AM |

So it was a stock Integra against a FT Spirit R on Akagi. He ended up beating me, but the cool thing was around CP3, I started catching up. Then I started to beef it up, around 60K now. |

The Solution Group: Advanced Members Posts: 3,787 Member No.: 2,428 Joined: Aug 1st 2004 Location: Update Profile | Did a bunch of TA runs today but managed to get a couple battles in. This guy with a BUNCH of random cars that aren't even HT came in. He has an ER, 32, FD, MR2... and the list continues. Anyway, I was doing Happo no-tech runs in my 205 and he challenges me: FD3SI vs. ST205 Tsu IBD - win; he was muttering something to me about not using the car before or something, I didn't get what he said at all. XD R32 vs. ST205 Tsu IBD - win; it's the car he normally uses... this time he wasn't so far back. Quite a boring race... I treated it like a TA run. Anyway... I'm still doing Happo OBD no-tech runs and this time used the 205: 2'26" --> 2'24"7xx; would be 11th in the world or so... not too shabby for not using anything, eh? Now... I pushed the Capp time, but by just a little: 2'22"780 --> 2'22"767 The main thing is... I got this on vid. So wait a bit and you guys will see your mod in action! |

Request Title - PM Mods Group: Members Posts: 469 Member No.: 17,432 Joined: Apr 24th 2006 Location: Boston MA | ^Coastal, how you get those happo times is crazy. I play V2 mostly and can't even hit that time. Nice job especially with no techniques. Man my arcade is pissin me off. The gas pedal just randomly dies now and it does it to my friend about 3 times each course. I told a guy that works there and plays so that I know that it will get fixed. Well started an 8-6 today pretty much for akina and because noone really wants to battle my GC8V. Got alot of battles today for 1$. I can't remember them all but here's what i remember. GC8V vs: FD USUI Wet CCW (This guy tried to fish me. Not much of a battle, just took startup and never saw him again.) FD USUI Dry CCW (Different guy. Same thing happened. Never saw him after the first hairpin.) Integra Akina Boost on (One of the best battles ever. It was against this kid that looked about 10 or 11. He was there with friends or his brother I dunno they were all young. He asked boost on or off I said whatever he wants his bro told him to turn it off. So He was behind me the whole time. I took the last hairpin fine. Of course boost is gonna screw me on this long straight. He comes up behind me going 180 while i'm going 168 . I block as best I can but he's going so fast and it's so wide he passes me. I figure that he'll do terrible on the last turn, which he did. I erased, turned hard and used him as a wall. I was then right next to him, pushed hard to the left and passed at the last second and won by 2m flat. It was great. Most exciting battle ever. Made me feel like Keisuke when he battle the Nakazato on myogi.) That's all i remember. I think I had about 6 battles for 1$. It was good. Also got my 8-6 to 107k with a few LOTS races.
