i do beleive both god hand and foot are quite skilled. seems more like they only know 1 course so they are unaware of different approaches that are acquired when others race in various locations.

i hav a fd question. i know that kyoko uses re amemiya rims. the fd type r b tune in id3 has bronze re amemiya, why did they make them bronze when theyre supposed to be silver?

Maybe it was just a mistake?

I would say it's the same discrepancy that they have for the rims of the Sileighty. The manga, Anime and therefore games have differing opinions of how the rims look on a few cars.

That's seems like a good reason. Afterall, they may be highly skilled but they're probably also as orthodoxed as Todou School and also still not in the level of a professional like Tomo so the amount of their knowledge in attacking probabilities is probably not that high or varied yet. And you're probably right about them not being aware of the course specialties since I always see them freak out everytime someone uses the shortcuts or gutters.

i just noticed another discrepancy in the anime, the supercharged levin vs FD it shows a turbo gauge when it isnt turbocharged, did they get lazy and reuse the scenes?

Um... because it's a boost gauge, and it can be used for either type of forced induction system.

ah thats why, i dont know too much about that topic

Also, that's a question that's been asked before, in the thread for that group of episodes as I recall. Or was it the "Anime Mistakes" thread? One of the two. Someone asked a loooong time ago.

do any of you people notice Mogi talks alot in the 3rd person? it seems like it to me. she says natsuki alot but the subs say differently, wats up with that?

^i thought i was the only one...

is that what shes really sayin? or am i just hearing wrong...

yup. she definitely speaks about herself from the third person POV. I dunno why though....>_>

I think it's just her personality trait, and that's all there is to it.

Yes. In the Japanese language, using one's own name is the same as saying "I" in English. There are many, many ways to say I, You, etc etc in Japanese. Using your own name is merely one of them, and is considered to be informal, even "cute" sometimes.

'Moe' trait, maybe?

interesting, i never knew that.

I have three question;

1-During first race between takumi and Keiuske why keiuske says;"İt's time attack".

2-During Bunta showed engine Tachibana,He says "Suzukiiiii motors!" This engine wasn't TRD development?

3-Why last episode Project d needs time trial run?

@Rallyist:

1. It's a time attack because the battle will be timed.
2. Can't help you there.
3. So that they could leave a record there. They do it on every course they've won on. Why? Remember what Ryousuke said in Ep.1 of 1st Stage? About the "Fastest in Kanto" project. That's why.

definitely a translation error.

Bad subs make me cringe.

I have a another question;during battle between Takumi and Keiuske Say;

"My FD slow today,secondary turbine still working?" before this scene showing Fd's turbine.Any info released about this?

On Mt.Akina, due to the many corners and relatively short straights, Keisuke wasn't able to use his turbo's power properly (remember, turbos aren't as responsive as N/As). Just when Keisuke would reach max boost on a straight, a corner would come up and force him to slow down (and in a turbo car, throttle lift-off=boost gone.), thus getting rid of the boost. As the FD would begin to build up boost on the next straight, the 86 would inch closer and closer.

In short, turbo lag strikes.

Although mark4000 did say it's a translation error, I also think it's a typo, since the shop they are installing the engine in is Suzuki something (the mechanic's name is Masashi Suzuki).

I can clear these up a little bit more...

As BOZZ said, the guy who got his hands on the engine was Bunta's friend, Masashi Suzuki. His shop is named Suzuki Motors. The engine is TRD, and the name "Suzuki Motors" has nothing to do with the Suzuki auto company.

The "secondary turbine" comment was hit right on the head by Meteor. Keisuke was very frustrated at his lack of power, and blamed it on his secondary turbo not spinning.

If that's the case, did they upgrade Keisuke's Turbo for the Project.D expeditions?

I honestly don't know. Considering his twin-turbo overtakes Kyoko's single-turbo in a corner, I'd say his turbine response has been upgraded. Smaller secondary turbo, perhaps? Increased response, decreased HP.

No clue what the new FD has under the hood though...
