thats true! but still!!! even the crappy EGshit pulls away from the 86 more than tha GTR.

i mean, see the distance that the FD gains on the straight away compared to the distance the GTR gains at the start of the race.

the GTR is made to look slow, and nakazato is a h0m0~!

Hobby Japan (in CBD & Box Hill) have InitialD DVDs and 1:24 plastic model kits of the Akina cars (S13, 180sx, AE85, AE86) and some others like the SilEighty and EK-Type R Civic.

darK: The InitialD store is on Russell St, near corner of Lonsdale. Has lots of Japanese stuff like CDs, DVDs and collectables - toys :)

Cool store - but quite pricey.

I have Shingo's 'Night Kids' EG6 Civic (like my old one) and the 'Night Kids' R32 GTR (Takeshi) as keyrings (thanks to EBay). Also the BitCharG set (see below).

The manga comics are available from Alternate Worlds (Chapel St). The arcade game is lots of fun and due out on PS2 later this year (Sega release).

The movie (3rd stage) is really good. Apparently Madman are going to release the whole series (x4 I think) here after Tokyopop do a EL conversion in the US.

Oh yeah...

The SS Edition Trueno in Gran Turismo 3 is the 'Shuichi Shigeno' version (shows on the detail 'my garage' screen)

Shigeno san is the creator of InitialD - the car is a bit of props to him. That's why it's a pretty good little drifter.

The EG6 and R32 are little plastic keyrings - like in the photo. 4cm long.

I had Takumi's AE86 Trueno but I gave it to my (then) girlfriend as she has a white Corolla.

The GTR has red LED headlights and the Civic's front wheels are turned in - drift style. It has 'NightKids' written on the window.

The Civic is on my house-keys which are in the boot of my car in the basement - hence no photo :)

darK: Flames - probably. That cat is still 'rather' high-flowing :)

Mind you, you need to be pushing it pretty hard - so maybe not as we'll be on heavily policed roads. You can hear it 'pop' though.

Will get a video of it before I put the cat on.

    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
