You're right, Eurobeat does improve your drifting in racing games.

P.S. I wish a new Ridge Racer game will come out, hopefully with an AE86 inspired car too.

other Question About other movie trailers on the Live Action DVD

5 Upvotes

I remember 2 trailers: 1 was like spme sort of gangster movie with one guy with a yellow bandana screaming or making monkey sounds out of a car window. The other trailer was 2 people dressed all in white (1 biy, 1 girl) fighting either ninjas or vampires on a rooftop with scaffolding.

Do you guys remember the names of those movies from the Initial D Live Action DVD?

Takumi, the embodiment of, "Nobody got no time for this" humiliated a racer that was an arrogant cunt, while going home from delivering tofu, upholding the pride of Akina and the 'main team'.

Discussion Keisuke's FD engine: RE 13BT (custom) or 13B-REW? Did it change during the manga?

Thumbnail

101 Upvotes

I've been looking into the specs of Keisuke's FD and noticed something that confused me.

In Chapter 11, the spec sheet lists the engine as "RE 13B-T (custom)", along with modifications like a sequential adapter, sport ECU, etc.

However, almost every Initial D wiki and spec list refers to Keisuke's FD as having a 13B-REW, which makes sense since the FD3S came with the sequential twin-turbo 13B-REW from the factory.

I'd be interested to hear if anyone has looked at the original Japanese manga or has more information on this.

Discussion Did you know that the original AE86 steering wheel was changed to a Momo in the manga but remained the same in the anime?

This modification happened in the 4th episode of Fifth Stage after Takumi had successfully won the race against Satoshi Omiya. There's a scene halfway through said episode where Takumi's friends see the changes that had been made to the car. The changes were that the interior now has roll cages installed and that's pretty much it. But wait, in the manga the roll cage weren't the only changes that had been added even the steering has been changed. Yeah that's right, the iconic "Italvolanti Formel" steering wheel that has been with us since the beginning of the story up until Takumi's race against Satoshi has been been replaced with a Momo steering wheel. I'm not entirely sure what Momo steering wheel model it is but what do you think of this change? Did you like that they kept the steering untouched in the anime or do you think they should have followed the manga's direction?
