| Mhm. You benefit much more from a turbo considering the sheer amount of exhaust a rotary puts out. Your best bet on upgrading a rotary engine is to redo your whole intake and exhaust, then get a decently large turbo and a performance intercooler. This way you can turn the plentiful exhaust gas into extra power with the turbo, and cool the unnaturally hot temperatures of the rotary with the intercooler. | |

Not really a surprise but now it's confirmed! Initial D is about to die. | |

| I don't really see it as dying, I like that it's finally coming to a close. Remember that just because Shigeno says that he's leading up to the finale doesn't mean it's going to stop next month or anything. I can't wait to see what happens in the end. This ongoing racing is getting really interesting too... SPOILERS - Spoiler:
Shinji was just passed by Takumi after making a mistake and falling for his blind attack. Even though he's been passed, the gap between them isn't widening. Go (the man that's always talking with the NSX driver, Hojo) says that Takumi and Shinji have similar "moods", and that since he's been passed Shinji will improve. Takumi has noticed that his front tires are feeling strange.

- Spoiler:
Shinji is supposed to be a reflection of Takumi's former self and the race is supposed to be a mirror of the Takumi vs Ryosuke race where Ryosuke, the outsider who drove the faster car, had more experience, and was obviously very skilled, still lost to Takumi and his underpowered 86 because he passed him too early (by taking advantage of Takumi's mistake due to his inexperience driving under pressure) and ended up wasting his front tires in an attempt to pull away from him without knowing the best line (since he wasn't chasing anymore).
So Takumi:
1) Is the outsider
2) Is driving the faster car
3) Has more experience
4) Is very skilled
5) Pressured the local and overtook him
6) Is having front tire troubles
The current development of the race seems to be hinting at Shinji's win and Takumi's inevitable loss.
And yes, Shinji is the ONLY opponent who has been able to keep up with Takumi in "Wing mode"

| does the show actually go along to the finale of the manga or does it stop some point before that? cause how this sounds theres some more stuff to come - at least manga wise - after the sidewinder battles | |

| Sidewinder battle isn't even over yet in the manga so nobody knows if anything is going to happen afterwards, we're hoping something does, but with the anime catching up and Shigeno announcing that D is going to end soon, the odds point to a premature ending with unresolved loose ends.  | |

I was thinking exactly the same thing. And I wouldn't worry about him ending the series right as they cross the finish line on this race. All that was said is that the finale is drawing close, not that he's going to stop drawing it as soon as he can. | |
