what u think of initial d

[xpolosive155]

i actually have no preferece for intial d....i just wanted to hear what u guy think...i just hate how the prices for car in the movie are so inflated...

[Soarer]

its pretty entertaining but i wouldnt take it too seriously. just from an anime point of view i like it.

i think there was a thread about this allready

[djdorifto]

Yes they are expensive.. But if you look when it was made then you'll know why they were expensive. I think its a great Anime Movie, but alot of people take it too seriously like fnf. If the movie wasn't brought up all the time when driftings involed then it would be a awesome video for everyone to watch. But people might want to go out and do that same shit. Ohwell.

[Jay]

ya i have to agree with ya all...its a cool series and fun to watch..but its just an anime.

[Son_of_Bunta]

Initial D? What's that? :messed

[ridge]

I had an argument with a friend, who is also an Initial D friend, that the AE86 does not mean 1986 Toyota Trueno. I think he still doesn't take my words but no matter.

To an initial d fan hachi-roku means
hachi- hatch back
roku-1986 (made in)

The 86 are really heaps of junks with the 4AG gasping out black smoke and the engine going putt putt putt putt......

The race worthy ones out there are very hard to find now.

HAHAHHAAH OH MAN! So the coupes aren't HACHI-ROKU since there coupes? ahhahaha
OH MAN. So much mis-info.

[Soarer]

I'm pretty sure it does.. I looked it up a while back and I'm almost positive it means 8-6, because they didn't refer to the Corolla as, well, a Corolla but as a Trueno or Levin (sp? am I correct on that?) so they just called it by part of the chassis code which was AE86, right? I dunno, I'm probably wrong on that...

[djdorifto]

Yeh thats what i fuckin thought that the Hatchi-roku meant. I heard or read it somewhere.

[sr20de]

Here (http://www.quia.com/jg/151867list.html)

First set of numbers .. it says:

481-6832 which translates into "yon hachi ichi no roku hachi san ni"

Yep, it definately means 8-6. I've had "hachi roku" in my msn screen name for over 4 months now, and that's what I've told everyone that it means.

[ridge]

in Japan, you will see some Skylines, Fairladys and Silvias with 23 on their plates

23 is "Ni San" and sounds very much like "Nissan"

[xpolosive155]

yeah that is what i thought....recently someone said that they would buy my ae86 but only if it was a hachi roku..i told them it was..then they tried to correct me by saying that it wasnt...i tried to school him but we got into an fatty argument...i so tell him it look at this...

[Jay]

AE86=corolla gt-s from 85-87
AE85=corolla SR5 from 85-87

Hachi roku is 86..and yes the JDM guys talk about there cars by way of the chassy code mostly

and ive seen a nissan guy with a H33 and an ossan sticker on the back

[ridge]

that is basically it, true for Asia at least.

AE86
CP9A
SW20
FC3S

[Silvia S14]

IIRC the SR5s were AE86s chassis too... just not a GT-S spec. Basically a stripped down 86.

Corolla SR5 are AE86 not AE85.

Hachi-Roku is just Model Designation nicknames in Japan
Hachi Roku (AE86) - Corolla Levin / Sprinter Trueno / Corolla GT-S (USA) (1985~1987) and also the SR5 Corolla.

AE85 were only produce in Japan. (not "Corolla").

Lol, ever hear a Japanese try to pronounce "Corolla?"

Ko-lo-ra

Steve:D

[nismo skyline]

lol initial d is awesome, for entertainment purposes only. anyone ever play the sega arcade game, that thing is so fun. i guess i'm still a kid at heart.

[hateraid]

the series was cool
character development want great.
plot, i thought was alright =\
the art (cg) was done well also
overall its a good anime series to watch

[StickyIckyIcky]

Yeah, I just played the arcade for the first time a few days ago. I heard on this board that there was one but i never saw it until then. Its pretty cool. Got my card... w/ the black Nismo S14 of course. But damn, i played it like twice (both w/ the that same car) and i lost both times. Either i suck or my car sucks. Or i'll get the hang of it.

i hope you weren't trying to speak japanese there.

[RS13 240SX]

Just like the S15 Silvia. Japanese cal it ichi-go (one-five) Ichigo also means "strawberry" in japanese, so sometimes you might hear people call S15 fronts Strawberry face.

If you've ever takin Japanese language class eighty-six would actually be said as "hachi-NI roku", the NI is a modifier that indicates that its 8 Ten's or eighty. So when Japanese call the corolla "hachiroku", they are actually saying eight-six, not eighty six, and of course they call it hachiroku cuz of the AE86 chassis code (we all know that). When you watch the subtitles of Initial D they translate hachiroku into "86". Technically speaking the subtitles are correct but it would of been better to leave it as "hachiroku" as its used as the nickname of the car. I can't believe people actually call the corolla an "86" here in the US. -That's a nice eight-six! It sounds really stupid. Kids are just copying what the subtitles say.

Personally I still call it a corolla, cuz that's what it is, A COROLLA. I've been involved in corollas for 8 years now, and I never called it a different name ever since. As with 240sx's, I call them a 240sx, not 180sx, Silvias, blah blah. I hate when people call my car a silvia, cuz its not. Gettin a little of the topic......

A little more modifiers:
sen- 1000
hyaku-100

MOre stuff:
ichi, ni , san , shi (yon), go roku, hichi hachi kyuu juu is adopted from chinese

[Trueno Coupe]

^^lmfao on you.

Silly Kids AE86 are for Drifts.

They call COROLLA 86 here in the US cause THEY ARE "AE86" chassis code, you know. (oh, we all know that right?)

They have the same chassis code is Japan also, USPEC Corolla 85-87 Corollas were made in Japan not US.

Theres also an AE85 84-85 in Japan looks the same but theres couple of things that are diff from AE86.

Silly.

I call it englanese! :)


if you have noticed, I have only made 4-5 serious posts in the drift forum since its existance.

edit: and 3 of them are in this thread! :D

[xpolosive155]

has anyone notice that the graphic and animations get way better as the series continues.....like stage 3 was better looking then the first one

[mptmvp]

the number 86 is actually hachi-jyuu roku... and its shichiji (nana) for 7, buddy.

As far as calling them "86," isnt that a bit easier than saying "corolla gt-s"?:rolleyes:

And as far as 240s go... ive owned 2, going on 3, and ive NEVER heard anybody call it a sylvia or even a 180sx... anybody who somewhat knows what their talking about calls it an s13. Reason being, that if you call it it a 240, it implies the ka24 motor, however since most people go sr20 (or at least claim to), they no longer have a 2.4 liter engine(hence 240), and therefore no longer really have a 240sx. Thats why chasis (not chasy, for all you dimwits out there) codes are so important.

initial d is cool

[mptmvp]

i deliver rice for fun ... just so i can be like takumi... bunta is god!!!

i do strategies when i drift race in the mountains..because im a grass roots racer..

[Trueno Coupe]

Let me get it straight for you kids.

86 is for the Chassis CODE - AE86
Not for the YEAR....

This is why they call it "86".

[RS13 240SX]

Yeah your right, its Hachi-jyuu roku. I got my modifiers mixed up. My mistake (at least I admit I made a mistake, unlike some stubborn people in here).

[mptmvp]

tofu.. darn i have failed.. people should realize its just a cartoon... i heard that bunta gets a wrx and beats everybody in the district.. then he beats his son.. haha

[StickyIckyIcky]

Hey, whats the name of Bunta's pro racer friend again? I'm tryin to remember his name.:confused:

BTW, isnt it funny how they change the names of characters from an anime to the US video game?:afreak I can see how Itsuki turns into Iggy, but how did Itekani turn into Cole?

[BlueFlash]

I think Initial D is pretty kewl.. its entertaining for an anime.. but to bad it wasn't in english

[StickyIckyIcky]

The DVDs have english subtitles!
And oops, my bad, it think mispelled Iketani.

Bout to go play the arcade stage at malibu tuesday..
Hey, one of these weeks we can have a tuesday SRO mini meet and race the gokarts all day for $10!..

[Sonicdust187]

Guys, are there only 2 stages of Initial D? Ar ethere more and when are more coming out?

[KetchupPopsicle]

theres like 4 stages i think

1st stage - season
2nd stage - season
3rd stage - movie
and then theres extra stage which i forget whats it about

[xpolosive155]

[sjohn637]

[xpolosive155]

[Raziel]

That reminds me of a time i was at SJSU watching the ppl play id. These two guys were talking about the misfireing system and stuff. I was just laughing in my head.:haha:

[xpolosive155]

[StickyIckyIcky]
