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~!

i just got an Initial D phone hanger...

it cost me 15bux.. pretty cool..

anyway.. my mate told me that apparently there is an Inital D shop in the city.. called "Initial D" <-anyone confirm this?

never heard of it.. might check it out on friday..

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.

[Mr. Oizo]

thanks james...

i'm gonna check that store out on friday

when u say that u have the EG6 Civic and the R32 GTR do u mean a die cast model? or a Bit-Char-G

[Jamezilla]

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.

[Jamezilla]

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

[Mr. Oizo]

cool.. how much was the GTR Keyring?

[Jamezilla]

Ah - about $5. Was from Hongkong.

Yay Ebay.

[coco69]

lol! i got the GTR keyring too!

dunno why the front headlights are red! i rkn the back taillights should light up red... but anyway, its cool! altho the paint on mine is fading :'(

i also bought first stage dvd and third stage movie on dvd from russell st. and second stage dvd from box hill.

jamiezilla - do you really own a lada?

[Hiroshima Screamer]

yeah Initial is the shit , d L some episodes from the net with english subtitles which helped:werd:

[Jamezilla]

Hahaha - such cool keyrings.

Is a pity there are no R33s in InitialD

LOL! thats cool...

best episode of iD has to the very first episode where natsuki mogi comes down the stairs... panties... woohoo!

[Jamezilla]

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.

Yeah - gotta love the manga 'fan service' as they say.

Always liked the Shingo battle - they have the VTEC noise so well done.

Kinda stirs my heart
