Kids of the occult Initial D club=Rodney Dangerfield of rotaries

why do the people here always hate on Initial D?!
Ohh and drag racing with cars that are made for cornering is cool :wallbash:
Most of them probably never saw Initial D, and because some stupid kids like it, doesn't mean you're a stupid kid too when you like it... :scratch:

@ s-thetikz:
yea, okay....you are soooo mature, and wayy to mature for animes and cartoons, I guess you're even mature enough to go to school already :)

better initial d than something else like ugly bodykits and naaawwzzz and neon lights . :icon_no2:

i watched initial D, loved it and enjoyed it for what it was. Do you watch anime, go to anime expo's and dress like an anime character ? considering that your subtitle is "hashiriya", and that you're from austria, i don't have much business arguing with you simply because you wouldn't understand the saturated "phenomenon" in "JDM" we recieve here in the United States.

this is the culture in japanese cars today. for anyone rocking neon lights and nawzz, all i have to comment on that is that its an outdated style. that was what happened in the 90's, and was all the rage then. JDM is what appeals to mass audiences today, and albeit, in my opinion it looks much better.

but, for this "young fellow" i'm assuming, dressing your car up like a cartoon character's car is just as tasteful as dressing up a beetle to look like herbie, and is something much, MUCH more transient and in bad taste compared to the "JDM" scene.

is it original ? obviously with the pictures shown, no.

will it keep its charm over time ? no.

you gonna dye your hair blue and repel chicks? probably.

i'm really doing the op homie a favor.

ah okay, I understand what you mean,...and you're right, JDM stuff isn't really popular in austria, and maybe 30 people in the whole country know Initial D....the people here drive around in gay tuned volkswagen golfs and opel corsas :D And the most japanese cars are still fast&furious/need4speed riced.
It's really really nice to see a japanese styled car then.
I guess in america everbody today want to be 'JDM' and like initial D and stuff like that, and that's why alot of you guys are sick of it.
Same with drifting.

no

I can't agree with that,...the initial d fc has no green stripes or something that only that FC has.
It's just a white S5 with lip and nice wheels, I will always like white kouki fc's with a lip and nice wheels. Doesn't matter if the one from initial D looks like that or not.


But hey SpideyFan...
WHY Watanabe wheels? if you want it like the initial d FC you should buy work equips or mazdaspeed ms-01.

It's because invoking the word "JDM" makes me want to punch people in the face. I lived in Japan from '93-'99. I grew up on drifting, Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, Hello Kitty, yakisoba, eggs in a vending machine and all kinds of other dainty things. Initial D is a cartoon. Plain and simple. Emulating them makes as much sense as dressing up like Batman or Superman and fighting crime. Why?

There is nothing wrong with wanting an exclusive part for your car or even powersliding around, just be original. Don't emulate a fucking cartoon character for crying out loud. Also FYI

Drifting=Powersliding
Touge=Canyon Run

Initial D is nothing new. A cartoon about people racing around in cars. A technique that was so-called pioneered in the back hills of Japan, but they were emulating a race technique used widely in motorsports.

I will most likely go with those rims instead

Thanks for the pics and the support. You would happen to know where to get those decals would you?

I understand you don't like Initial_d thats cool. Everyone their own opinion. GL with your future projects. PEACE

I had a print shop make it. it cost me 20 bucks for theredsuns. U just find a redsuns logoand saveit on usb and take it to print shop and tell them teh size uwant theyll make it..

Thanks for the support

If you think those chicks think that FC is "hot"... Think again. The only reason why those chicks are posing is because they want exposure. They're attention whores.


:rofl:

Just to help you all understand the thread a bit better I believe the idea is to replicate the FC in the LIVE ACTION movie, not the series. And lets admit it, the live action FC was pretty sick looking.

Yea I am pretty those chicks would stand next to just about any car as long as their is a camera there to take their picture. Shit i bet they would even pose for a Riced out Yaris. I doubt it. This is a picture of a replica Ryosuke FC and two girls just wanted a closer look at the interior and someone just happened to take their picture.

Thats what I am saying.

I guess some people think if a FC happens to be White and have some resembling rims and front lip that the owner must be trying to copy Ryosuke's car. Weird.

yea oh well actually i would realy like a replica of ryouskes FC why noy a 280hp RHD Ifiniti with MS-01s,a feed lip, and RE Amamiya mirrors whats not to like.

Just to let everyone know I am not doing this to copy Ryosuke or Emulate him. I am doing this to show respect. Yes Ryosuke is not a real person but that is not to say that base off the manga/anime that people have not been effect by his character. I can certainly tell you I think of cars threw a whole new perspective now. It has nothing to do with drifting or anything. This is hard to explain. Just cause I am making a Replica of Ryosuke's FC3S doesn't mean I want to be him. I just want to share with the everyone my opinion of what a real car enthusiast should be.

Dont forget also that Ryosuke's FC is RHD. To me that the most important part of the car if your going to replicate it. And thats what i did.

that makes no difference...because in the live action movie they made a replica of the anime FC :scratch:
In the anime the fc always looks a bit different though.
They change the front lip and the wheels a few times.
And in 4th stage it's really just a clean white fc with a lip and nice wheels,...he don't even has stickers anymore.
And the people who still say that it sucks, even with no stickers, probably like sleepy eyes, extremely stretched tires on 19inch chrome wheels , or v8 swap FC's...
and btw The live action movie was crap compared to the anime.

uguys make such a big deal about how bad initial d anime or the movie is, stop being aweenie about it. Im pretty sure the fc from the movie looks hella cleaner than most of our old ass fc s .

+1

The Live action movie was crap compared to the anime but compared to Tokyo Drift it was the shit. TD= Blue Screen Drifts(Not all of them but most of them). Initial_D LAM(Live Action Movie)=100% real drifts.

How did you do it?

Hello Every 1 i am the owner of the Akagi white comet ^^ all those pix are of my Fc ^^

this thread is full of lulz

lol if you guys have any ?'s about my car i will have them all answered as soon as my car is fully updated on the rebuild ..... all the stuff i had before was bolt on and it was fun n all but it will 20X better ^^ but other than the new stuff any old ?'s welcome ^^ haha i know some peps hate my car but i just love initial D just like a billion other peps ^^ haha peps who like it .. i thank you for your support ^^ i love MazDA!

ROFL Lmaoo.. this is the day my 7 died :( haha the Greddy garage sale... on the way back home.. .. hehee it will show you guys what it will be like when its done.. going to tripp ^^:lol:

I completely agree with you, I think part of the pleasure in making movies and cartoons is the imaginary characters the author (director/producer? lol) gets to make to get a message across.

Ah, I see. I haven't watched the series in a while but I didn't think they used real aftermarket appearance mods though as far as wheels, lip, exhaust, etc.

Initial D LAM was THE absolute best automotive movie I have EVER seen hands down. You just have to fast forward the stupid romantic parts. The FNF moves were retarded and their depiction of what being a car enthusiast is all about was horrible. Gone in 60 seconds was badass until the end where "Elanor" was a stupid Mustang. I mean c'mon, Ferrari's, Lamborghini's, and the "ultimate" elanor is a stuipd fucking Mustang? :lol:

lmaoo tru dat

Cuss everyone likes to jump and look at 20 year old interior designs.

An enthusiast is a man who looks at other men and be like wow. I like him I'll emulate his car and I have no idea what I'm really doing. First thing you want to do is when you buy a used rotary is TLC and mods later after it is reliable.

Are you sponsored? I'm not talking shit I'm just wondering if it's hard to see sometimes out your hatch with all those stickers. And do cops jump on your ass a lot for being so noticeable? I know they always eyed my car but never stopped me yet.

I bought a RHD clip from Japan and then converted everything.

The engine work is going to be the last thing touched in this project. A lot of people focus to much on the engine alone and forget the rest of the car. Like Brakes, Suspension, Transmission, and safety.

nice gar dude

nice gar dude :icon_tup:

lol yes i am sponsored.... cureent sponsors are Bride , Vitamin water , NOS , and FSR motorsports , MazdaTrix, and SMAXX other are partial sponsors ^^ yea i get pulled over but usually for the exhaust.. i just tell them its a catback and they let me go ... stickers etc.. they dun care ^^

Vitamin Water taste good ;)

YesssRRR ^^

I like the XXX flavor and the pink one I forget the name Dragon Fruit is nasty though.

they don't try to get you on the sound? and did you know vitamin water has just as much sugar as a coke? D:

Well at least it isn't carbonated :)

lol verry.. true.. haha i just go to shows and represent them and they just send me cases whenever... i love them both.. its kool.. haha . i <3 NOS though. hah so good.. ^^

Hey ZOOK, it's K!NCH from myspace. Sorta grabbed those pics from your myspace, hope you dont mind ^_^;

hahaha nah its kool.. my page is open to public... ima post new 1 as soon as my engine is rebuilt n rdy fa sho haha.. u guys will like it... getting crazy paint done just only in engine bay area ^^ secret paaint :) hehehe compliments of FSR haha

hiii zooookkkkkkkkkkkk! hopefully ifinish mycar at the same time yours is done too. Oh and u have to sign my engine bay when you see it. SUPER STREET PORT babyyyy:lol:

You should spread such mis information, my friend has a GSL-SE with stock drivetrain components(virtually identical to the FC) and is autocrossing his car, he has a S4 turbo on an S5 NA engine with turbo rotors, and is putting down around 250whp, this is also with hoosier A6 tires.

You can make power with the stock drivetrain if you take care of it.

Lol yea thats why before i got my rebuild it was like Whatever.... i really wanted more power ... at the time i was making 300 hp to da wheels.. but it didnt feel like it... even though i tore peps on the freeway and ima tell you the truth.. i never went sideways.. haha i <3 my car now that its going under the craziest rebuilt... i think myself and every 1 here will like it ^^ its something verrrry different :D ill post pix later on

i have bought a 240 to do all my crazy sidewayz stuff so i will just leave me Fc as a weekend and sometimes mess around car for now haha.. we have built it... not just for show but to have fun when ever as well ^^

Are you really asking this and people are really replying to this?


...or did I already fall asleep?


You obviously dont know much about your car, do you? And I am trying to be nice here! Do the manga version, with the real companies, the fake ones just look silly!

and for gods sakes, kid.... USE GOOGLE SEARCH!!!

My bad dude. I just figured with more experience RX-7 owners they could help me out thats all. Not all of us have been around a Rotary engine for a lifetime. I will admit I have never owned a 7, YET, but when I get it I will gladly spend hours and hours familiarizing myself with the engine and its components. I have done a lot of research but Research can only get you so far as opposed to the "Real" thing. Thanks for your input and I hope all your future projects are a success.

Peace
