i find it hard defeating Tak (Takumi). i got 7 engine upgrades and 3 electronic upgrades... i can catch him but cant hold the line.. btw im using a gdbf....

how many times did you beat story mode?

Since he cant beat Takumi, I would guess....

...Never?

Anyway to beat Takumi, you should do 3 things properly.

1. Do not hit the walls (Admit it, you are still hitting them)
2. PC properly (Do you know what a "PC" is?)
3. Have a good lead on the 2nd section, then for sure he will overtake you on the 3rd but make a good, clean, fast 4th section and you can beat him.

ur point is?? play more TA's 1st then play takumi u at least need a 3'20 akina n 3'00 tsukuba for the 1st time if i'm correct n which map did u have difficulty in?? Tak (Takumi) appears in 2 maps

i hitting the walls yes.. i got 7-0-0-0-5 i'll try tomorrow... i can catch up at sector 2, but i loose speed at the straight b4 consec turns at sector 3....

remember takumi is not a real person so feel free to block him until your rear bumper falls off...i blocked yellow rx-7 guy (i cant spell his name) the entire race on tsukaba i mean from start to finish because i had an FD we were the same speed LOL!

that's what i did this morning before i read this thread.. i blocked him till the end... HOLD THE LINE!!! thanks anyway capp. that's the kindest and most effective answer i had...
even if i already done it

Lol, i did that too so many times. One time, i misshifted early so I was only in 4th gear for half of tsukuba but it was alright since i just blocked him up until I got up to speed and went flat out in 5th

take the right lines, i cant stress that enough, for newbies its such an easy task to take the right lines. it doesnt require anymore skill than not doing it so why not do it and shave precious seconds off your record.

if you said versus takumi at akina....then i cannot help you coz i lose alots of time too

but if you said takumi in tsukuba, he is crap easy....


BTW, did your car's every systems are balance? coz if only lvl7 engine is not enough, you also need the same lvl brake, suspension etc....

you know, i beat takumi in tsukuba with my FC

my FC details:
- lvl4 engine
- lvl4 brake
- lvl5 suspension

and the rest i just random up

if i still remember correctly, i blocked his car at the 4th section cause my car is the same as his, and akina is one of my worst map ever -.-

hmm... i cant beat Takumi at Akina since my story mode level 7 with my FT ae86 T_T
everytime when he cut me at 5 hairpin then im lost...
can someone teach me how to pass the 5 hairpin ???

Can i ask if anyone PC before making the turns at Akina DH? Cause i do, and i always lost to Tak (Takumi). ><

It's weird but I have a S180 and it's got stage 1 everything, but for shits I bought the gdbf and after 2 tries and loses I learned a new technique with the gdbf and and third times a charm beat Tak (Takumi) (Takumi) with a stock gdbf.

-Kept the lead till the second section
-He passes me in his famous 5 hair pins
-Then on the very last right turn before the left into the finish I past him on the outside to cut him of inside.

My intial d friends and crowd jumped and shouted in excitment.

Tak (Takumi) (Takumi) OWNED!

well i recently beat Tak (Takumi) (Takumi) (Takumi) (Takumi) (Takumi) on akina. i have to say he really isan't all that great then what i thought before i raced him. for me i always have the lead in the beginning, the turns in akina are easy to make. for a 5th gear car. u can go throught the whole thing in 5 and sometimes 4th. u go to 4 gear grab the lower part of the wheel and turn PC then shift back to 5th when u make turns. The 5 hairpins can be tackled by being in 4th gear PC and turn hard but not to hard to hit the Apex.


someone please tell me if what i said. is horrible way to beat anyone in akina.


This is just how i beat everyone in akina.


*PS* there is only one part in where Tak (Takumi) (Takumi) (Takumi) almost Sortav passed me. Look at the map.

****Sorry**** forget i said i use a celica. i thought this was a initial d 3 thing. haha. anyways. see if what i said works.

Unfortunately, most (if not all) of our IDAS4 machines here are 1.5, no PCing for me

I'd like to ask about those fantastic sub-3 minute videos on YouTube, it's like the white lines on the sides of the road are dancing around instead of the car moving

My headache right now is getting the cornering right while hitting the proper exit speeds. My times on the DH dry so far are 3' 17" on a standard cab, and 3' 13" on a cab with a "lighter" steering wheel.

Do you faster guys practise the cornering first till it becomes automatic, then shoot for the exit speeds? Or do you practise hitting the speeds first, then the cornering? Or both at the same time? Coz' it can be quite confusing looking at the hairpin while cornering then trying to sneak a peek at the speedometer at the same time

kinda new to this game but my time for Akina now is 3'10" wif Stock 85.. well play a lot more.. remember brake at brake points.. if u experience oversteer.. not enough brakes.. if u understeer.. u have brake too late (missed brake points).. accel half way out of the corner..

then brake less and less as confident builds.. then u would be fine.. 85 tuning now 4-0-0-0-0

keep into the line.. and u would do just nice..

So far I've been able to cut down my time to 3' 12" on the standard cab, thanks to some Iro-style wallramming on the first of the consecs.

I think I've only gotten 80 to 90% of the corners cleanly . . . the focus needed is like when you're doing exams!

Anyways thanks a lot

Since you can catch up to him, you 'should' be able to pass him on the first straight you enter. An exit speed of 120+ is sufficient to overtake him there, given you're on his tail by about 40m +/-

It's IMPERATIVE you're in front of him during the Consecs. By doing that you block him from getting in front of you, and he pushes you through. Even if you get passed, his advantage at the consecs will have been cut by SO much, it'll be easy to take him later.

Y'know...as long as you don't mess up later on.
