Sigh. There was nothing wrong with the translation in the way most people would've done it. When they were talking about boring it out from 1.6 to 1.8, that was correct. The problem was when he said "V6", the translator accidentally took into account that a Japanese person was saying that. What Toru was saying was actually "B6" which is the engine code for the Miata. Unfortunately, because Japos don't say V really well, when they usually try, they end up saying B instead. Probably not paying any attention or knowing what the guy was talking about, the translator mistook that for V6, since that is a fairly common term used when dealing with cars. So it's not really the translator's fault, and this could have only been properly translated by someone that knew the engine code for the Miata. In any case, this is my first post, and I joined the forum to correct this mistake.

Keep watching http://www.ide-fansubs.net, in my opinion they have the best quality of the 4th stage episodes.

I do have a torrent file for episodes 5 and 6 at home, but they arn't in the best of quality and the subbing is way below average. but you can still follow it.

If you want it to I can PM it to you when I get home tonight.

Torrents are the name of files that are used to download files from the Bit Torrent network.

Bit Torrent is a P2P network similar to eDonkey/eMule, Kazza. etc.

Go to http://www.bittorrent.com/ and read the Introduction there for more information on Bit Torrent.

as some of you may know I'm the proud owner of a aussie built AE86. Soon to be gutted n restored (bought original trueno seats for $150 for the pair :wave: and the back seat was $100). Currently trying to source a 4AGZE engine. Next will be modifying the suspension setup, for a bit of amature dori dori... then getting the trueno nose and maybe fibreglass/CF bonnet (failing that straight fibreglass bonnet). Then I'll try to get it to look as close as possible to the AE86 in Initial D :wave: I'll probably sell it as a replica or weekend drifeter.

    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
