Media Asia Films has recently revealed its HK$100m manga adaptation Initial D at a press conference in Japan. The event was graced by a stellar guest list, including the film’s directors Andrew Lau and Alan Mak, as well as their Hong Kong, Taiwanese, and Japanese cast of Edison Chen, Jay Chou, Anne Suzuki, Anthony Wong, Chapman To, Kenny Bee, Jordan Chan and Shawn Yue. Mr. Peter Lam, chairman of Media Asia Group, was also present to support the gang.

Initial D is Jay Chou’s theatrical debut, and this nuanced leading man naturally became the media’s attention. “There’re lots of racing scenes in the film,” the pop idol said jokingly, “but fortunately the ubiquitous paparazzi has perfected my driving skill.”

well its a honky production, so it'll be unadultered by the yanks with their "live my life 1/4 mile at a time... bruh" shit. So should be true to the original anime series.

Apparently they've finished shooting...

i really doubt hk's ability to make this type of movie ... i've seen lots of hk films ... and lets just say i've seen lots of crap ones .. (some good ones .. but mostly crap imho) ... i hope its good ... jay chou can sorta sing ... never seen him act ... it'd be funny for asian people who can understand ... u got hk people, taiwanese people, then u got japanese ... hows that going to work??

if the movie is a hit i might put my original Initial D manga up for sale (which the anime series is based on) which I picked up for a 3 bucks when I went to Japan in highschool :)

I think the producers and marketing execs realise that there's a HUGE potential for spinoffs and merchandise, not only in japan but also in most asian countries (coz the stars are from most of the major asian countires) AND in western countries where the initial D series is a hit (albeit with "bruh" dropping voiceovers and wierd hip hop soundtracks). So if they fux0r the movie then all that is lost, so I'm sure they'll make a good attempt of it and won't let the budget stop em.

Hmmmm, I watched a lot of crappy HK movies...

I hope they don't make Natsuki into some whiney Honky chick instead of multitasking jailbait like she should be! I don't think HK cinema can cope with her as she was in the Anime.

    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
