Just got into Initial D, bought the first DVD and thought it was awesome. Well I found my way here and decided to join. I have an '84 Celica GT-S Liftback while it doesn't have crazy stock horsepower (115hp) its got some nice torque to compensate (140 ft-lbs.). Its rear wheel drive, 5sp, and has a good suspension set-up stock. I have already started to mod it and make it a little quicker, mostly the cheaper mods like removing AC, switching to electric fan, intake, exhaust, and a few other things.

Do you guys think its a good platform to start to learn drifting? I've had it for almost a year now and definitely know its limits, but have yet to go to a wide open safe area to try to start learning some techniques.

Did you buy the Tokyo pop version? Or you bought the original.

I'm pretty new too, but welcome nonetheless.

Don't know much about your car. Drifting can be induced with a good suspension setup. However a good rule of thumb is the heavier the car is, then the more torque you'll need to break it loose.

I bought the Tokyopop version, its the only one I saw at Best Buy and I heard it was cool so I picked it up. It has the first 3 acts on it and it left me at a big cliffhanger, now I definitely gotta get the next one. Are the newer acts released on DVD yet? And is the Tokyopop version the one to get, it has both english and jap subtitles/voiceovers so I guess it would be the better one.

And my car stock is 2700 lbs. a little heavy but I have already taken the AC out (alot of weight there) and switched to elec. fan so its probably 50-75 lbs lighter.

Indy, you drive a 200SX not a true Silvia. If you drove a true Silvia I would be over there in a heart beat to take it for a spin...or 4..
