This is probably old news, but for those of you who like drifting, Initial D is no longer just a manga series. They have brought out an Initial D movie. Its not too bad, and there are a couple of laughs in it. At least it is not americanised (its somewhat believable). Also, not sure which company it is but they are planning to bring out a video game based on Tokyo Drift. Should be interesting.

and who said evo's dont drift, go search for the reviews of the evo test drive on the Top Gear program and they certainly do drift bloody well, they aint no wrx 4wd :yes:

Here's proof.

All in all the movie wasnt too bad.

There were some good one liners at the beginning lol....

"This car has 500hp and does 0 - 60 in about 4.6 Sec", the american accent just kills me....

watched it last night...it was pretty good imo..more substance compared to the last 2 and less rice...or the mention of rice ie neons, subwoofers, NAWS...

The fact tht US drift champion Rhys Millen was responsible for most of the drifting sequences makes it believable...

But whats with the Yank accent??? Is it only me or does anyone else think that he speaks a bit like Forrest Gump?????

A pretty good effort overall from Hollywood....we should just take it for its entertainment value...

The ending was a nice surprise..:yes:

saw movie last night

i reckon it was a mad movie......some of the girls were dam fine

yea after the movie in the carpark everyone was going nuts ripping burnouts and saw an r32 and r33 revving the shit out of their cars...awesome flutter echoing the whole car park

I was a bit dissapointed with the representation of the jap drift scene, a bit too americanised imho, and i didn't like the main character dude one bit. The girls were fantastic though and that Aussie chick is absolutely gorgeous. I guess i got what i expected for an entertainment produced hollywood flick but i kind of did hope they would be a bit more realistic. Tsuchiya is the old guy fishing on the right at the docks. That EVO is RWD btw, still didn't like the fact they used an evo though.

i just got back from the drive-in's where i saw this movie, i went in expecting nothing and came out pretty pleased, i can honestly say i really liked it, the black 350z was tough, no stickers on it was what did it for me i reckon.

And on the evo topic there's a guy here in S.A called Tom Monkhouse now drifting an evo and doing quite well, i'll see if i can find a pic!

this movie was actually really good imho.

the first 2 were f**king stupid, this one was good because it was completely different in every way to the others, no cheesy pun lines or anything.

i like what they do with the muscle car in this, that was pretty cool.

i think everyone is just jumping on a bandwagon here and saying the movie sucked cause everyone else is saying it sucked lol.

Besides, the chicks were rediculously hot in this, anyone who doesnt like that factor of the movie needs to stab him self in the face ^_^

Killer movie,

Just seen it,

love it every bits, a movies with hot cars and hot gals, hmmm...cant complain!

Damn hot ass Chics,

made me wana go japan for the perve!!!! :P

They probly recruited all the hot babes just for the movie, lol

damn

i saw it yesterday....

i was physically cringing in my seat at his driving abilities (or lack of) at the start of the movie..... i think i will need therapy after seeing some of the things he did....

still a little bit too much rice for my liking, though NOWHERE near as cheesy as the last 2 instalments.

chicks were FINE :P

storyline was semi-believeable.

overall, i rate it better than the other 2 movies, and i didn't mind it TOO much... lets hope they make another one, and make it even better again!

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
