Ugh... what are you talking about?

It sounds lame he's getting into wings specifically, all aero is specific in it's own way, but none has as much of a drastic effect as it seems to be having here.
Juuust a little more than usual. I think I'll have to see how it turns out, I may be blowing it out of proportion.

Where did you get that from?

Anyways from the Google translation, which is pretty awful, it seems that Takumi and Mika (and perhaps Iketani and co.) went to the sea. Also there is a bit about an FC and some character name Hojo?

What the wings? Did you read like the first page? lol

God i hope there's another FC, I like them too much to deem them gone to a character that doesn't race.

See there is a bit of misunderstand here, I was under the impression you were referring to the recent fuji_tak posts.

It 100% sure that next battles turn around rear wing :

Ibaraki :
S2000 has a GT carbon rear wing, but shuichi shigeno don't work in this way.

Kanagawa:
round 1
Evo 7 and MX5 have GT carbon rear wing>>>wing has been an important factor.
round 2
Mr-S has GT carbon rear wing
Supra (model ???) i don't see yet the car but i think it has (GT ?? carbon??) rear wing.

I wonder if it really makes a difference, I hope we don't see the 86 get some super huge wing or something silly like that.

It's not silly at all and it makes the difference. With GT wing (carbon : light and resisting) the car could have more grip unless the rear tires are died. In theory Takumi couldn't match against Toshiya S2000 : Toshiya driving don't use the grip and its GT rear give to car more and more grip.

Takumi win against S2000 because the old man stomach was down.
Takumi win against Omiya because the MX5 rear broke.

Well, he has beaten racers before without a wing, I just think it'd look silly to have something like that on his 86.

The more Shuichi Shigeno make his story the more project D and oponents are harder to beat and set their cars like pro. Since Ibaraki all cars had rear : S2000, FD RX7, GTR 34, evo 7, MX5, MRS, supra and NSX (only 86 dont' have).

Takumi is an unorthodox driver. Wing rear come from circuit. But Takumi drive Bunta impreza so he has been affected by this point. To push the 86 limit i think a rear wing on the 86 it's possible.

Yeah, but it'd look so weird if it's some huge wing.

depends. They could give it a makeover.

When are you gonna post the latest chapters? We've been waiting for months

since chapters 471 there is nothing. But i think volume 35 will be soon released by fans.

Will Kogashiwa Kai really be one of the next opponents of Project.D? If so, I can't wait to more...

yes small kogashiwa comes back with his own car : toyota MR spider.

Someone know the name of the Omiya MX5 kit ?

i cant wait to see also that Project D will go to hakone a friend of mine told me earlier that while playing wmmt2 he noticed that a AE86 parked somewhere on hakone

Vol.489～Vol.490手抜きですみません、本当にすみません。

そろそろ方向性を変えてきます・・・
　
よびすて
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
秋名を下る拓海のハチロク・・・
すれ違う走り屋は、拓海の走りを見れたと喜ぶ。
・・・が、麓でそれから降りたのは拓海ではなく、
一度今のハチロクに乗ってみたかった、文太だった。

試乗した今のハチロクは、想像以上に良く、
短期間でここまで仕上げた涼介を褒める文太。
だが、これではいつか限界が来る。
「オレがあいつにしてやれることは・・
これが最後になるかな・・」
文太がハチロクに施す事とは・・・？

拓海は、美佳と別れて帰ろうとするが、
帰り際に、美佳がちゃん付けではなく
よびすてで呼んでみて、という。
拓海は少し間をあけ、照れながら小声で呼ぶ。
それを聞き、喜んで帰る美佳。
拓海は思わずトロけてしまいそうになった。

数日後・・・赤城山。
レッドサンズのメンバーが集まる中、
メンバーがFCを見かけるが、賢太がそれを否定する。
忙しい中、学力はトップクラスで、
更にプロジェクトDもこなしている。
こんな場所に来ている暇は無い・・・と。

直後の赤城大沼・・・

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ロールケージ
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FCを停め、過去を思い出す涼介。

サイドワインダー・北条豪がいるという事は、
必ず「あの人」が出てくる・・・

ここへ突如、来て初めて名前の出てくる
「あの人」、そして「香織」という人物。
あなたはこんな事を望んでいなかったはずだ・・・
明らかに目上で、過去の人物・・・そして、
北条、或いは「あの人」と関わりがありそうな台詞。

一人の走り屋、高橋涼介としての
けじめを付ける時が来た・・・

一方、拓海のハチロクには、遂にロールケージが装着される。
神奈川の強豪を前に、プロジェクトDも変化を遂げていく。

夜・・・拓海とのバトルに備えて仕上げたMR-Sを駆る小柏。
負ける方が難しいというほどの備えを持ち、
秋名のハチロクにリベンジを宣言する。

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
物語も終盤・・・バトルはまだ、上下あわせて6戦あるとはいえ、
確実に終了へ向かって歩んでいる、そう感じさせます。
（作者もゴルフを止め、Dに打ち込んでいるようですし・・・）
ここ最近の調子のよさが、逆に不安を煽ります・・・

今週号で出てきた「香織」という人物、一体何者なのでしょうか。
涼介のセリフから、北条などと関わりがある人物のようですが・・・
高校時代か大学時代、または走り屋として素人だった頃の先輩が
「あの人」、その彼女が「香織」というところでしょうか。

It's seems that on these chapters espicially vol.490 project D work on the 86's balance. We could see in this scan that they put some bars to maintain the frame of the 86. With that Takumi could cornering harder and faster. Very very interesting. It seems that the key point about 86 vs MRS battles will be the balance and corners.

Oooh, a roll cage! but, there actually is another option for 86 than some icky carbon fiber wing ala fnf.. it's called TRD widebodykit, with that whaletail. I wouldn't mind seeing that.

I think is totally logical. Takumi driving is improved so he drives more and more fast. The 86's frame need to be more tought. With that the potential of the 86 will be bigger.

For a few weeks, each chapter of initial D has brought its batch of surprises. After the return of Kaï Kogashiwa, the NSX of the chief of Sidewinders: Hojo. In chapters 489-490, Hojo speaks to a person (who seems to be a woman) called "00". Thus the second pilot of Sidewinders could be a woman surely kawaï! Remain more to know what car she drives ?

Second MX-5 crash? Takumi's luck contiune lol.

Vol.489 : Calling by first name only
Mika said to Takumi to call her "Mika" and not "Mika-chan"
Mysterious second pilote ?? (woman ??) of Sidewinders.

Vol.490 : Roll cage, Vol.489


Yes Takumi luck continue. If the MX5 rear wing didn't break, Omiya would be with Takumi carried over to the second game.

I don't think it was a crash, at least from the angle shown in the image.

I confirm it. It wasn't a crash between cars that make break Omiya rear wings. It Omiya mistake : shock with guardrail or wind intensity to strong and angle take by omiya in corners.
