cant drift in my fwd.. and that shit is just not practical.. id ont awnna buy a new set of tires every month and crap...

anyways, d1 is this week! feb 27 irwindale!

[RX7_ManiacDrifter_FD3s]

Yes im going to that wait wheres irwindale?

[RX7_ManiacDrifter_FD3s]

hey Umm why cant i DL Initial D from http://www.animesuki.com/series.php/402.html ???? Can sum1 give me another link to DL Initial D???

[Hakeem_21]

www.boxtorrents.com

[RX7_ManiacDrifter_FD3s]

Whats Leet_raw? wat site is it? I need more MAN i aint lying it was getting godd too!!!!!!
Tell me wats leet raw!!!!!!!!!!

[idontnoh]

like knives said before drifiting is very impractical for real life. The fact that you have to buy tires every time you wanna drift is overfill on a wallet. Also drifting is just not meant for a car, the chassis just wont be able to handle it after a while.

[RX7_ManiacDrifter_FD3s]

TSK!! I dont care, im still goin to become the DRIFTKING!!!!!!!! and nobody answer my question...... whats ia leet raw and where can i get InitialD?

[Kn1ves]

leet raw is a group of people that bring us raw anime from japan

raw = no subtitles

i posted the link on the 'Episodes 11 & 12 is out raw' thread.. but the site seems to be down right now, if it comes back this should be the link

http://www2.l33t-raws.org/phpBB2/torrent_list.php

[RX7_ManiacDrifter_FD3s]

SOOo your're Saying that i can't Understand wat thery're saying because theres no Subtitle?

damn this suxs!! LoL

[Kn1ves]

yeaup unless u understand japanese.. live-evil sub for it should be out shortly.. or soon..

[RX7_ManiacDrifter_FD3s]

diD Chu watch eps 11 already? Damn soo how long is the 1 withthe subtitle goin to come out with eps 11-12

[lasaire]

They're working on a sub. Asking a million times will not get it to come out any faster.

Secondly, I thought I should clear up a point about drifting:

Yes, it is possible. Can you do it in just any car? No.

Drifting is only meant for cars with rear-wheel drive trains. It is possible to do it in a 4 wheel drive car such as a Lan Evo, but this is because the majority of the car's power, while distributed to all four wheels, is still most powerful in the rear two wheels.

Most new(er) American cars are front wheel drive or four wheel drive, with the notable exception of the Ford Mustang. This requires a different driving strategy. Remember the way Shingo drove his modified Honda Civic by pulling up the E-brake? This skidded the back wheels, while the power remained in the front wheels (Civics are FrontWD), allowing the car to corner faster.

If you watch, there's actually an ongoing debate discussed in Intial D about the benefits of front wheel vs. rear wheel drive. In the series, front wheel drive is referred to as FF while rear wheel is FR. Takumi benefits from having a rear wheel drive car in the downhill, because it eases the load on his front tires. Braking affects the front tires, and with a front wheel drive car the front wheels and tires do double the work, sustaining both the power and braking, whereas in a rearwheel drive car the front tires handle braking and the rear the acceleration.

[DooDooPie]

if u really wanna drift and cant handle the possibilities of denting your "baby" buy a gas RC car and drift the hell out of that =)

[idontnoh]

drifting requires too much money in real life. The cost of tires,suspension,roll cage and many other things will leave you broke before you know it. Also i know for a fact that 4wheeldrive cars are VERY HARD to drift with and i doubt any american car out there right now(mustang aside) will be able to pull off a drift. Rear wheel just makes life so much easier.

[RX7_ManiacDrifter_FD3s]

tsk!!! I know what car to use in Drifting so Don't tell me wat car to use........ Speaking of Drifting.. If yur GooD WhO knows yu mite GeT SPONSER! Thats what im trying to do rite now.

[Kn1ves]

getting sponsored doesnt really mean anything. once u get sponsored u become a show car.. and we all know show cars cant drift i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif

[RX7_ManiacDrifter_FD3s]

hey that y yu look for the rite sponser! The One that wants yur to race for them.... who knows there might be one like THAT!!!

[RX7_ManiacDrifter_FD3s]

hey Knives i Bet Kazama WoN again huh??.........wait didchu GO??

[RX7_ManiacDrifter_FD3s]

I meant i bet that Kazama is giont to WIN Again

[kclo4]

Drifting in real life is a plausible hobby. It is expensive as with any car hobby but there are thousands who do it in the US.

I am not a very experienced drifter, but I bought an S14(1995 240SX) about 7 months ago and have been building skills by going to autocross events and track days at the local race track. I have started doing more drifting, but I am having a blast with the car doing grip also.

Tires is one of the major costs in drifting, but there are many factors that determine how much money you spend on them. High HP cars with skilled drivers can tear up brand new tires very fast. New drivers with relatively lower HP cars use tires less quickly. Some people get older junker tires for cheap/free and finish toasting them off to practice.

I would suggest to anybody wanting to get into drifting to first do autocross and track days at your closest tracks before actually drifting. I would also say that you should not try drifting on the streets or mountains, especially if you have no experience. Easy way to get yourself or others killed. Street drifting will end up costing more then track drifting too. This is because you will likely brake more parts crashing on the streets then at official drift events. Most tracks are pretty safe to drift and its almost impossible to ruin you car at a parking lot drift event.

There are plenty of American cars that can/do drift. Sam in his new Pontiac GTO got 3rd place at D1GP during GT live. Ken Gushi will be driving his 05 Mustang at D1 on the 27th. People use older mustangs and camaros all the time. I just recently saw a video of a supercharged el camino tearing up a drift event pretty good.

It's not just american cars that are plagued by ass-draggin-dom. Most japanese cars are FF too. There are very few new generation RWD cars, especially ones suitable for drifting out of the box.

At D1 I saw a FF drift machine, it seemed to do well. FF drifting is different. The dynamics are different. Some people argue that its not actually drifting, but whatever. FF drifting doesn't seem to be as fluid and much more difficult to hold a very long high speed drift. AWD are some where between FWD and RWD and they seem to be more suited for high speed drifting. The problem with most FF and AWD cars seems to be that when one gets on the gas, it will tend to pull the car out of the drift, but certain setups can be more oversteer friendly.
This being said, taking your moms FF daily driver out and trying to hit the e-brake around some turns is about as stupid as it gets.

If you want to get into car racing, one of the best things to do is go to www.scca.com and look up your local SCCA group and go check out some autocross. Its very easy on your car, almost any car can do this, and its fairly cheap compared to track days. All you need is a somewhat sporty car in good running order and a helmet. And you can usually borrow the helmet. Driving around cones may seem silly, but to do it well and drive fast takes incredible skill.

[RX7_ManiacDrifter_FD3s]

yea yu rite!!! I Live close to Thunder Hill in Caifornia and that where i was planning to Drift!! AND the part about the FF and AWD is true too... unless yu have skillz!!! and Nice car yu got there not too bad for drifting.. anyway soo yur drifting eh? Maybe one day ill get to race yu LoL ^^

[kclo4]

Yup, I drift. Or at least try. This last saturday was a track day. I was gripping all day getting faster, but the last session I got to practice drifting. I was too chicken to go in fast, so I was having a hard time holding a drift. I have a much better feel for countersteering quickly and things like that, so next time will be better. One of the biggest things holding me back, grip and drift, is not having a LSD. Thats one of my next mods. Except for the one wheel spin, I love the way my car feels now. It has Z32 brakes, TEIN tie rods, spl tension rods, and coilovers. Motor is stock, but should be boosted by the end of the year(I hope).

I am in new mexico, so doubt you will be seeing me any time soon. I do want to make more road trips to events in AZ and CA when I have more money.

[lasaire]

Good for you, kclo4, you bring up a very excellent point.

Drifting is very difficult, and doing it on actual streets is incredibly stupid. Drifting courses are set up specifically to allow you to try out new techniques without a screw-up costing you your life. You try drifting on a steep mountain road and you might skid yourself right off a hundred foot cliff.

I'm not into racing or drifting myself, but I do enjoy driving a car that has enough power and response to occasionally push when I need to. I'd certainly never go back to driving an automatic clunker like I learned on back in my teenage years!

[idontnoh]

ive seen people actually try to drift on the streets and destroy their cars. Im from newyork and we all know that there arent many tracks around here. Hey kclo4 by "one wheel spin" do you mean pegleg?? Also are you running the KA or DT motor??

[kclo4]

pegleg, one wheel wonder, it's called many things, but the fact that open diff sucks doesnt change :-)

Whats a DT?

I am running a stock KA24DE, but I plan on boosting it. Don't really want to go SR20DET unles I find one for so cheap I can't pass it up. Love the torque on the KA too.

[se3p_supokon]

street drifting isnt bad u just gotta find the right places like wide corners or parking lots. in cali a cop cant give u a ticket fer drifting in a parking lot unless he sees u visually with his own eyes, otherwise all he can do is tell u to leave. and street corners are really dangerous if cops are around >3 points 1000 and up fine and possible impound> otherwise as long as ur good with control its safe.
o ya and go to la gardena area u can get sr20's fer around 2000.

[idontnoh]

i meant the det engine, sorry aobut that, brain fart i guess...boost sounds good on the KA, good luck and hope you find the money you need for all that

[Mass Suicide]

i can't but i wish i could i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif

[drowelf]

damn where are the subs I can't wait anymore!!!

[Hakeem_21]

Me iether it would be better if we never knew that the raw was out cause the waiting is killing mei/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif

[bullhead-187]

Hereing all this about racin cracks me up. Drifting is more for show than anything else. Also still curious why the Rx-7 is able to take the evo's or even a skyline in up hill, just wouldnt work normal but i guess thats what makes it interesting to watch...

[intense]

the moral of the show is that power isnt everything; it is all about your skill on how to drive to win. damn... pay attention.

[JD28]

DL Episodes 11+12 at http://www.thewirdsdomain.com/anime.htm

[idontnoh]

intense is correct. Also you must remember it is an ANIME, like everything else on TV it is either all lies or fantasy...=)

[raven_dwe]

ep 11 out on animesuki.

[Mass Suicide]

jd i have aproblem with ur linke idk why but i found another spot to get ur torrent it's at http://tracker.zaerc.com/torrents-details.php?id=1769

[kclo4]

Do you know anything about FD's? They typicly have a much higher power to weight ratio then a AWD beast like a EVO or GTR.

300-350hp 2200ishlb car(FD) has serious advantage over 300-350hp 3000ishlb car(EVO, GTR, STi), AWD or no AWD.
The spec miata racers at the race track here can smoke the crap out of cars with 400-500hp because the drivers are fast and know how the car feels, and they are light weight. They also are lucky if they are pusing 104hp.

Now, I wont make direct comparisons to Initial D, because it is a show. The only stuff that happens in the show are what the writers and animators tell you what happens.

Just pointing out that that if your going to say something isnt plausable, at least compare stuff that really doesnt make sence :-)

[bullhead-187]

Just a thought about the rx-7 in the anime. I know the thing is about who is a faster driver and not the car because that car would never beat a evo or wrx and etc.

Sorry kclo4 but i have to disagree with you on a miata beating a wrx or anything like that. Especially on a track or course, the evo beat the imprezza wrx sti in test because it had oversteer because the engine being in the front more than a evo. Also front wheel cars dont have a advantage off the line becaues the weight transfer is going back and not to the front wheels, also fd that have over 300hp usually end up slipping off the line in a drag. In my opinion you only show how fast your car is not how fast of a driver you are, course driving is much more difficult, but knowing how to start off the line is very efficient to.

[kclo4]

You can disagree all you want but the spec miata drivers are fuggin fast. their cars have highly tuned racing suspension and racing tires, maybe a straight through header back exhaust and airfilter, but they are actually have to run a restrictor plate. They have proven to rip much higher HP cars on race tracks, fact not fiction. Locally they are some of the fastest drivers that go to the track there. An equally skilled driver, in a well prepped higher HP can can be faster then spec miata's, it's just not easy.

The point remains that less experienced people in higher HP cars cannot turn faster times then experienced drivers in much lower powered cars. Some higher HP cars still arent as fast as the lower HP ones even with equal drivers.

Not talking about drags or front wheel drive cars either.

[RX7_ManiacDrifter_FD3s]

Not quite... current homologated Group N cars (Lancer Evolution and WRX STi) are, at best, 50:50 torque split. Most of the time, the torque is front biased. Old school Group A cars like the Mazda Familia 323 GT-R, Nissan Pulsar GTI-R, the GC8 and the Evos of Kyoichi and Seiji are also front biased

the only 2 notable 4 Wheel drives in initial D that are rear biased are Nakazato's BNR32 and "Arm of God's" BNR34.. which have a 30:70 torque split from gears 1-3.. and a 0:100 torque split in gears 4 and higher.. And remember, Nakazato doesn't drift (well, not in the cartoon anyway.. he does in the up and comming chinese Live action movie)

and in my view, there's a question whether you actually need that handbrake... when a mate's AE82 Corolla (with the 4A-GE engine) keeps up with an VT SS commodore (think Pontiac GTO.. with 4 doors) because they were both driving on curvy roads, i do question the use of the handbrake..

Not always.. Touge Drift (that seen in Initial D) is more about getting the fastest line in a corner. However most drift in this day and age is closer to what you see in D1

I dont' think it's all lies, given the technical crew behind it...

what they say about drifting in the first 2 stages is fairly correct. havn't seen the movie so i can't comment on that. Stage 4 does stretch it a little, but i'm sure given a well trained driver (Dori Dori...) he can do at least the 3 wheel drift that Takumi does in ep 2

does anybody know how much longer we are gonna have to wait for subs of ep 15 and 16...

[tensai]

id say about another year....................jk

it usually comes out a few days after the raws are released, but the initial d subs in the past have taken longer (sometimes over a month later)

it just comes down to when the subbers are actually finished, so there is no certain date for it

[digitalFrequency]

L-E &amp; IDE | Episode 15 (http://a.scarywater.net/live-evil/%5BL-E%26IDE%5D_Initial_D_Fourth_Stage_Ep_15_%5BC4D2934 8%5D.avi.torrent)

[Zhan]

Weird...is that really the end of stage 4? I'll be pissed off if they leave it there.

[j.rmz]

from what i've heard there is going to be episodes 17 and 18, but dont take my word for it... just rumors i've heard from IRC

[Phoebus]

i strongly belive there will be ATLEAST one mor episode, that will learn him to overcome he's 4by4 fear AND he will be getting he's last info/tips on driving....


anyways, allready looking forward to Stage 5

[Kaigi-san]

aaah how long is this stage gonna be? i thought it would be like 2nd stage initially and have 13 eps.. but it just keeps on goingi/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif gotta d/l 16 and watch it when i get home tonight - cant wait!
