Caustic Window

Well bloody hell.

I saw Version 2 on Holiday, and got myself an Initial D card that i'll probably never use again as there's not an arcade machine around where I live.

Very fun to play, but I was rubbish at it using the Evo VII, I think...

I'll be looking to import Initial D Special Stage for PS2.

juss go on ebay, they're everywhere there 3nodding

If the RX-8 can take the Monaco at full throttle, than the FD3S should have too much more of a problem taking it (The spirit I know would have to back off a little bit). That and you may need to be more aggressive at the other corners as well. Remember, Myogi is a wide-a** track, use it all to your advantage.

Also another thing to remember, cars like the RX-8 are alot more powerful (via 6-speed tranny) on start up, and it's grip is uncanny.

Just remember your shift point and attack the coners with everything you got, you'll lower your times significantly.

hmm well usually i come out of the grand curve at about 197, 198, but thats after the turn, before that im going 202

[Duralath]

Let's see...I did Grand Curve with a 200K SE3P...managed to get an exit speed of 204. The key is to turn early. Don't throw the wheel or anything. Remember, out-in-out is the key here.

mhm.....hmm my FD only does 202 on myogi, do you think i have to wait to get the Full Tune inorder to go any faster???

[Rusty_Blade]

yeah, Grand Curve has changed. No wheel-throwing at all on this track, but you may have to corner hard on some of the turns.

[Ezeikial]

yeah i think i know what corners your talking about tho, but an Evo7 ran a 3 flat on Myogi!!! and it was nowhere tuned to where i am

[Rusty_Blade]

odd, is anything out of the ordinary happening?

umm no nothing from what i saw, other than the guy is a total arseclown tho, but thats all xd

[Ezeikial]

awe man they left, im here by myself again crying

[Duralath]

Well, full-tune would definitely give you a speed boost...but the right cornering with your FD will give you a higher top speed for Version 3.

Also, when I ran it with my SE3P, I managed to take a mid-in-out line for that exit speed of 204. Perhaps if I'm out a little more...then maybe I can raise the speed even higher. FD may be able to take the mid-in-out like I did...but you've gotta be careful. I'd recommend to stay with the out-in-out.

You know, I just may transfer over my old FD3SI from Version 2, as soon as I'm done with my SE3P and my CP9A. It seems like the best choice.

hmm i usually use the Out-in-out form, i dunno, i dont hit any walls and if i do, its very minimal, and i need to start using my Se3P too sweatdrop but i think i'll use that 3rd to my Evo4
