[Igorionia]

Saw Daggernite got his own topic with little pictures of Initial D roads in reallife (Japan) :
http://www.motorworld.net/forum/showthread.php?t=15326&highlight=japan everything with this site ok, but pictures are too small , as for me ,It's not enough ;/

So I decided to post one more site with tons of Japanese mountain road pictures from Initial D anime :D hope this isn't repost link or smth.

thanks for the link,the bigger pics are great.i was lookin at the c-121 corner at usui and man that corner looks awesome,if anyone can drift that around completely in a race id be surprised.i wonder how many races these passes have seen?

i was also thinkin about the other places in initial D like the gas station they work at,is that real?

[FordGTGuy]

believe you wouldn't want to live in Japan if you already live in the U.S.

[Daggernite]

Cool these pics are great. I so wanna have a drive on these roads. You also gotta respect InitialD fors recreated the roads, there so alike.

that lucky bastard such a nice RX7

[gis]

yeah i gotta say as daggernite pointed out,gotta giv credit for recreating the roads and not just at one point or location either.

[Daggernite]

I was looking at some garages that had RX-7's for sale around my area, and I found some imported ones, twin turbos, new body kits, 70K miles, for only 5000quid :shock: aint that good?

[gis]

yeah there is a couple flyin around were i live,a red and a black one,i found 2 others for sale in auto trader last week,both twin turbo FD's with 50k miles and it was £7500,we would probably pay that again for insurance,lol

[topgeartom]

if your looking for jap imports this place is about a 5 minute walk from my house. Not too far from huddersfield either. They dont have an rx7 in at the moment, but put it in your favourites and keep checking back. The do have a stunning skyline with flip orange paint however - it look way better in real life than it does on the pictures tho.

[gis]

if i could afford insurance on one jap car i would have a supra by now but nope,insurance just fucks u over.i wouldnt mind an RX7 though,an FD,should be sweet.ah well,roll on 21 so i can move from my VTR to a VTS

[Daggernite]

I would so llike a RX-7 think I'd give a skyline a miss tho, and as for insurance, well it just so sux dont it :( I did have a plan tho, there are these storage building which are quiet big, which are been rented out at 50 quid a week, I was think of saving for a car (rx-7) like that and keeping it in one of them. But then I realised I could'nt drive it, I could just staire at it :(

But I'm surprised at how cheap the RX-7's are, the FC's are under 2grand in some places. :shock:

[gis]

yeah the RX7's FD and FC are quite cheap now.supras the mk4 TT versions anyway are still the £10000 area still.i was lookin at impreza WRX in a couple years but when i got an insurance quote of £5145 for the year i thought otherwise

[SilviaEvo]

FD's are usually around 15K around here so buying one is basically out of the question for me because on top of it being a used car and may have some problems insurance is quite high in the states

[Daggernite]

I also would'nt mine a hachi roku, aint they called a corolla GT in europe n america? I would think i was the stuff driving it :lol: Has anyone seen any of them? I aint seen one, also how much are they?

[SilviaEvo]

well the Corolla GT-S was a dying car before Initial D selling for a few hundred dollars now they go for 3000-5000 USD well i dont want a Corolla i want a Jap Spec Hachiroku aka 86

[gis]

neevr seen an 86 here,i know a few people have them,seen them at the drift comps,sum dude had a supercharged one.

[Igorionia]

I'm actually planning to get 200SX next season
To my mind that's one of the best car for me now. (about 2k-3k Euros)
Got quite good potentioal in mods. :twisted:

[gis]

yeah the 200SX is a good modding car.quite a few goin about here and also find one with the right mileage and they are about £4000.thats another car i woulndt mind

[Igorionia]

I'm Talkin about RPS13 (180SX/200SX) Hatchback version ,not S14 version
£4000 is too much for RPS13 :?

[gis]

lol well u never said which model i was just goin off the S14 version.they are mostly what i see here

[Igorionia]

In my little town just 2 S14 :?
And right now they are expensive for me 4-12k Euros :?

[gis]

wow how come they get so highly priced?

[Igorionia]

Actually normal price for S14
Depends from year (2 dif. versions: kouki & zenki) one difference is front. :roll:

[gis]

interesting,i been lookin at the cars from iitial D and most the cars are pretty expensive.checkin out evo 3 and 4 and they are still about 8k

[Igorionia]

This cars got stable price , like E30 M3 :?

[gis]

seems so yeah,im just lookin in the latest autotrader magazine sales right now and........

evo 6 with 24k miles is £16.995
evo 5 with 69k miles is £11.995
and there is even an evo 1 with 69k km's on it for £4995

so they seem to hold there prices,same as the impreza

[Igorionia]

you should get some cash before buying 280HP ;)
That's just rule :)

[gis]

lol oh beleive me i know,i would probably at this age be paying about £6000 insurance for one of those evo's so im quite a way from one of those turbo cars,only car i could realisticly own at this age from initial D is the EG6 civic

[tifneedle208]

Is it just me or do some of Akina's straights look really wobbly? Like they made the road uneven to prevent people from going fast.

[Igorionia]

[davide]

well 2 things really,finding a decent low mileage EG6 civic is hard to do,all the one si seen have between 65-85k miles.id like to get one if i was gettin one between maybe 45-50k miles.and secod,although its a 1.6 the v-tec versions insurance wouldnt take a liking to,so id have to shop around a bit for the right insurance.
