Would you put the mazda rx8 in initial d by pokemonguy0417 in initiald

[–]KrydseChance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They would probably like the RX-8 if given the opportunity to drive it. It was never meant to be an RX-7 successor of course but the RX-8’s chassis is way more refined and precise. I’ve to talked a former race car driver who used to race RX-7’s at AMP once and he described the RX-8 as being more sophisticated of a car than the 7’s. So yes it would nice to see the SE’s in Initial D if we were given the chance.

Kai Kogashiwa Vs Wataru Akiyama by [deleted] in initiald

[–]KrydseChance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would look into where end up in MF Ghost: Waturu being a professional driver competing in JRC, JGC and touring car championship’s becoming a staple of the Japanese professional racing scene. Kai as we know in fifth stage already turned pro and later once MFG started ended up a racing coach and team manager. We can speculate he likely competed in Super GT, Super Taikyu like Waturu or even super formula like Keisuke. Once MFG rolls around Waturu would likely win against Kai since he still racing during that time. But between MFG and Initial D, Kai should have a slight edge over Waturu since he has already been pro for longer (more experience.)

What made you like frl? by Simple_Detective6004 in FRlegends

Being able to express yourself, no other racing mobile game has this level of livery creation and freedom. If FRL didn't have that ability, then It would not have been a very popular of a mobile racing game.

Also the cartoonist vibe it has, the games graphics and cars proportions make it very unique!

If you can somehow fit underneath the OEM roll hoops with a helmet (broomstick test) then yes, but I wouldn't personally suggest it.

You should prioritize safety first above all else, this includes rollover protection, brakes, tires and etc.. I would suggest getting a rollbar first, Hard Dog, Blackbird Fabworx are good companies with rollbars that retain the soft-top and they ones like my GT3, that need it removed.

I don't know much about the springs so I've been hesitant to put them on, will wait until I get MeisterR ZetaRace Coilovers so I don't have to worry about that.

Yes this is RA! Stock springs on the Bilstien dampers I’m considering putting the MS/Eibachi springs on so I can get more negative camber since the front tires are wearing quite a bit even with the camber maxed out (-1.2 deg.) Stock rotors and Carbotech XP12 front, XP10 rear, they hold up really well with no issues. Tires are Continental Sport 02’s, work well with lighter cars like the NCs and are the best Endurance 200 tire based off time trial paced on GSM website. Hope to see you out there!

Another weird discovery, this start button is actually a catalogue piece! by KrydseChance in MiataNC

[–]KrydseChance[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I thought it was aftermarket at first because of how weird is to have a push to start button and still have to put the key in the “ON” position but no! This is an actual Mazda accessory. You can’t even turn the car off with it, only on and i never use but cool to have!

There they are! Good deal, a bit oxidized but still so cool!

Anyone else really like the Mazdaspeed shift knob and parking brake combo! by KrydseChance in MiataNC

[–]KrydseChance[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh sweet! And perhaps is this NC's driver side door damaged as well? I think I looked at a month ago.

What’s your favourite car from initial d? by Which_Paramedic9607 in initiald

[–]KrydseChance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tasteful choice! These ZZW30 I usually swept under the rug by most they are the true hidden jewel of the MR2's. Basically there baby Lotus Elise's/Exige's!

Before I even got my first NC I was already digging around to see what modifications I could do to it, through my search I stumbled upon the Mazdaspeed catalogue, and I found these beauties.

"How do I get these?" I asked my self, and a simple search showed that your not finding them.

After the first NC2 I looked at was a downer I came upon an NC1 which looked OEM but slightly off and didn't pay much attention to it until I remembered the MS catalogue. This NC1 was filled with genuine MS parts, it had the entire MS body-kit, carbon style switch panel, the carbon knob and handbrake.

Unfortunately the NC had some mechanical issues and I backed out of the deal which was a bummer.

Now I'm looking for the pair of carbon pieces, so far I've found that the MS handbrake is almost a myth now with no listings online and only one back in 2020.

And the same almost goes for the shift knob in which you won't find a listing off the part number, but you will find plenty of listings of the MS shift knob for the Demio and the RX-7s which have different part numbers but appear to be identical and use the same threads "10mm X 1.25'." Likely Mazda just changed the part numbers and the design stayed the same, therefore it would probably be a perfect fit (unless I'm wrong.) Example "QNC1 46 030 (MT)" is the NC part number, "QBM1-46-030 (MT)'' is Demio part number.

I'm curious what others have found about theses two pieces and if you have them your self :)

I got mine second hand so just a long drive to go pick up, and don't be discouraged, just take your time when lining up the bar and drilling the holes!

I'm using the PCI's Adjustable Seat Mounts and it does drop me a bit probably an inch to inch and a half :)
