I thought the fic was saying that it looked like a late-generation 'vette, but isn't one. Basically, I forgot to add in the double-apostrophe. | ||||

well if you paid attention, you know what the car is... Although I'm a little suprised you would Use a T/A... Because unless your info is incorrect, The Only rwd pace car besides the corvette was the T/A(which was yellow in 02)... I don't see you using a FWD Grand Prix, especially since they didn't come with 6 speeds, and the Goat wasn't used (although I really was hoping it was a goat) Another good chapter... Keep em rollin | ||

So this is when Takumi is still dee-dee-dee about cars. That's the feeling I got from Dori's description of Takumi as someone who thought a car was four wheels and took gas. |

_______________________________ Anyway, another awesome chapter Dori. Itsuki talking about cars that don't exist in that particular timeline bothers me slightly. But otherwise, another awesome chapter. (And, yes, I did take note of the Dual Core processor appearing in this fic. But that particular part isn't in the exact Initial D timeline, so Dori could pull off a Shigeno there and insert things that didn't exist at the time.)

IDW Prime Member Group: Advanced Members Posts: 607 Member No.: 275 Joined: Feb 25th 2003 Location: Sayreville, NJ | Not a bad set of running there as always... Although I got spank ya on a few details... Kenji never worked at the station... Just hung out with the guys there. So i couldn't see the manager using him as a viable employee. But considering it's a fan fic I guess you can play with cannon some... That's the joy of writing your own story... things can be played with... And Oh yea... Your thoughts on japanese gas are incorrect... Japan Uses the The RON method of octane rating. America Uses the PON or (R+M)/2... We also have higher quality control then most countries...

For reference, the Japanese SVX (any year) is still selling for about 3 million yen on average. Lowest I've seen was about 2.5 million yen. Which is about $25,000-$30,000. | ||

And, as is usual, another well written chapter. Davey sure is an interesting character. . Looking forward to more. |

Remember Me Group: PONY FANATIC Posts: 2,243 Member No.: 8,296 Joined: Jun 19th 2005 Location: Update Profile | Holy fack, that is one hell of a chapter. You sure are getting there, Reiji-sama. I really enjoyed the conversation between Davey and Takumi, as well as Davey's inner-thoughts on the guy. S'just what I thought he would react like. XD Oh yeah. ^^ Just because I'm your girlfriend doesn't mean I can't tease you some.... it's phenomenal, dumbass. :3 |

It's going quite well. I do have to disagree with small details like Itsuki talking about RX-8s or Takumi's 86 being 23 years old instead of 10 (before thinking of the fact that this could be an alternate universe/ish fic). But otherwise, it's going quite well. The characters you've put in this fic are quite interesting. Both the Initial D cast and your own characters are well written, both in themselves and in their relations to other characters. Oh, and is it just me, or is there going to be a slight bit of that RP in here like in your previous fic?
Like in all your fics, the driving scenes are quite well written. The "from the beginning" approach is an original way of writing ID fics. And meshing that with a great plot brings good results. The plot has yet to get boring. Every single chapter makes me want more. As I said: It's going quite well. Keep at it This post has been edited by Meteor on Mar 23 2008, 08:06 AM | ||||

IDW Expert Member Group: Members Posts: 126 Member No.: 24,095 Joined: Apr 21st 2007 Location: That Poland place | Hai, hai... well, the storyline sure is getting more interesting. The interesting fact is how Davey remembers car related things, and nearly nothing about himself. You did a good job on capturing Takumi's character. Also, the inner thoughts of the main character are interesting too. Well... I have nothing more to say, so... keep it up. And don't you dare disappear and delay the updates, nee? *returns the glare* This post has been edited by wing_0 on Mar 23 2008, 04:12 AM |

Remember Me Group: PONY FANATIC Posts: 2,243 Member No.: 8,296 Joined: Jun 19th 2005 Location: Update Profile | Davey does remember his past life but he cant fill in the blanks between getting hit and waking up in Japan; Dori says. Also, we would like to let everyone know there is no form of magic in this story at all, no catgirls [like Sanagi], no cargirls, like Esprit-chan, nothing like that. Even if Kurumi were to make her debut.. which I don't think he's going to add her at all, she would most likely be some scary ganguro in a 'Yankee'-style biker gang. XD Hey, that'd be kinda cool.. :3 But it'd be irrelevant, wouldn't it? :3 Also he says it takes place in 2008 and is alternate-universe. Although Davey is a recycled character, it has no relation at all to "On the Unbeaten Path", hence, things like the Porsche 959 and the Elise being used for Godfoot and Godhand, not being a problem. Since, he's not trying to improvise on storyline and model years, it being 2008. Oh, be on the lookout for a red Audi r8. X3 |

You know that in that case you'll have to deal with enraged fans, rite? That's one of the things that happens after you make them | ||
