RollaLevin Occasional Poster Location: Perth Registered: August 2002	Re: hey Sprinter owners / Sprinter haters Sun, 29 September 2002 17:19 For the people who don't already know, Initial D is an animated Japanese Tv series based on the manga drawn by S.Shigeno (yes, as in the shigeno version 86 in gt3) The main character drives a Panda ae86 sprinter trueno and defeats a number of other japanese sports cars in downhill mountain pass races. This show is partly to blame for the sudden influx of people who want the car and wholly to blame for the inflated price of the 86, in particular fastback truenos. This is good and bad as the number of aftermarket parts for the 4ag and 86 have increased, definitely a good thing. Unfortunately there has developed a sub-culture of initial D fans who go beyond watching the show and playing the cd's in their car.. they have to seek out and buy an 86.. then go about making it as close as possible to the one in the show. This leaves less 86 for REAL hoons like us. Fwiw in the Initial D credits it lists several JGTC drivers as "technical consultants" most notably Keichi Tsuchiya. This could mean anything however. The roads that are raced on in the cartoon are real mountain passes in japan - this can also be taken any way you want. [Report message to a moderator]
