isnt Ikenti the stupid fella?

Post by **RobDET** » Sun Jan 05, 2003 5:21 pm

could be... i can't remember.. the stupid guy doesn't say it... the S13 guy does...

Post by **Chingon** » Sun Jan 05, 2003 5:21 pm

must have been a bad translation...I remember that engine bay well..

Post by **aleph1** » Sun Jan 05, 2003 5:21 pm

Ikenti is the speedstars leader S13 guy. Itsuki is the loud irritating friend.

Nakazato is the the coolest, even though he never wins =)

I am the real life enbodyment of Iketani, unfortunately.

-Im kind of a big brother figure.-I drive an S13 (240 coupe :rolleyes).-I screwed up my relationship with my last girlfriend cuz I was stupid.-I wrecked my S13.-Im the head of a little "race group" but really ain't that great a driver. :rolleyes

I could go on and on too...

does he say "nice carburators" or was it translated that way? i bet that's bad translation, cause i sure as heck don't remember him saying that. give me an episode or point in the movie

Post by **RobDET** » Sun Jan 05, 2003 5:21 pm

it's in the second stage. The first time ikenti gets to see the motor in the gas station...

Mad with all due respect i am not a coutch drifter. I'm not a drifter at all but Inital D is a wonderful cartoon. Have you seen any of the episodes? It isn't just about some bonehead kid who drives a corolla to voctory. It goes mutch deeper than that. Maybe it's just because I'm 22 and it kinda speaks to me about times i have just recently gone through... You should really check it out if you havn't.

I'll mail you the first several episodes if you would like...

oah and btw i'll bet your a trekkie

you know how it is

Post by **Hijacker** » Sun Jan 05, 2003 5:21 pm

d'oh. that episode is my catonese episode! my particular translation says he installed such a nice ignition system.

mad turned it off after the R32 battle....if i remember correctly

Post by **themadscientist** » Sun Jan 05, 2003 5:21 pm

I have watched it, it's entertaining and for the most part technically accurate. Some things are stretched a little but it is after all a cartoon so I don't complain, I mean the Coyote should have been dead three times an episode:D I'm not hating but some people get a little too into it, kind of like trekkies y'now. It's like that with anything but I often see people quoting the toon as if it were Option magazine and I have to laugh. Drifting is fun, I did it when I was a younger guy here and I will srill kick out the tail when the mood strikes me. Just be careful out there, curbs show no mercy, I learned the hard way

Post by **RobDET** » Sun Jan 05, 2003 5:21 pm

Thats cool... i get a little defensive pretty mutch all the time... (scope out the no replacement for displacement thread!) It's a good toon and i never quote it more than i would quote office space or Holy Grail.

btw... the injection system they spoke of is the water injecetion used to prevent detnenation under high boost

Post by **E Dogg** » Sun Jan 05, 2003 5:21 pm

initidal d is more realistic than 2 fast 2 furious in my opinion

Not really, there is no turbo on that engine, hence no high boost.

Man, Pamela Anderson's hooters are more realistic the F&F2:pface

only part i thought was decent was when walker called the guy on not knowing about putting an engine in his skyline, although walker never disclsed the real engine code-Mabye writers didnt know....

Post by **Hijacker** » Sun Jan 05, 2003 5:21 pm

hell, my gundam models on my shelf are more realistic than 2F2F. Attack of the 60 foot centerfold is more realistic than 2F2F.

and we all know that the technical advisors don't know what the heck they're talking about. in F&tF, they pointed at some hondas and started talking about SR20's (possible to do, but nobody would sell an SR20 to a honda kid [hopefully])

I read somewhere that Paul Walker bought a track (drag or circuit, dunno) and a skyline after the first movie, so he could know what hes talking about. Of course, Im not sure, just telling you what I read somewhere.

EDIT: Confirmed that Paul does in fact own a GTR (silver Vspec) from Motorex, its mildly modded with most bolt on aftermarket parts, estimated around 400hp. Dunno about the track part though.

Post by **E Dogg** » Sun Jan 05, 2003 5:21 pm

i heard him bein interviewed sayin he owns an r34, didnt mention the track though. He may or may not know what up thith the motor still, he could have the "i dont know how it works, i just know its fast" attitude...

Post by **themadscientist** » Sun Jan 05, 2003 5:21 pm

now if he would just drop some coin on acting lessons:rolleyes

Post by **E Dogg** » Sun Jan 05, 2003 5:21 pm

he gets paid without, the skill why learn now?

I NEED NOS MAN NOS!...so check it out, its like this-if I win I get the money AND I get the respect.

Post by **E Dogg** » Sun Jan 05, 2003 5:21 pm

double respect if your r34 jumps a bridge

Post by **RobDET** » Sun Jan 05, 2003 5:21 pm

NOOOO not an inital D gone bad post!!!

Post by **RobDET** » Sun Jan 05, 2003 5:21 pm

Delete it quick before it catches F&F syndrome

Post by **rudee023** » Sun Jan 05, 2003 5:21 pm

I know if some Pr!ck raised a bridge on me while I'm about to win a raise I sure as hell wouldn't give him a high five afterwards. I would beat his A$$!

Post by **Onizuka** » Sun Jan 05, 2003 5:21 pm

i read in some magazine that the skyline in 2F2F wasnt really a GT-R, They just used a 3 or 4 GTS-T's dressed up like skylines (and beat the crap out of them).

I didnt mind the first one, but when watching the 2f2f at a public showing at my college, i couldnt take it anymore. It gets annoy when the incredibly mis-informed are telling their even more mis-informed freinds "oh that pink car with the girl driver is a RX-7" and "Im going to get nitrous for my car so i can race" (real quotes from when i was at the movie by the way)
