I never determined just what the hell was going on there. I think its hydrolics.

I'd download it but I'm LANning at the moment.

lol I like the reference to Initial D.
"You're watching too many Japanese cartoon shows"

Damn I'd love to get my hands on an AE86.
They have the same engine my MR2 has. Much heart.gif for Toyota
Cyclone
Oh yea, about the Corsica vid. People thought that was me at once tongue_orig.gif But it's not.
I tried that in mine but it didn't work. It was a problem with early model Corsica's not having enough weight in the rear or something
clarkma5
My god, those guys were having waaaaay too much fun laugh.gif

Is that the one where the Integra lost!! whistle.gif
clarkma5
Indeed it is.

And I really like that Toyota MR-S. It looks so cool from the front as it's racing along biggrin.gif
DakianDelomast
I like they way they set it up. They made the drifter look like an wannabe with him losing bad in the ITR and then brings it home in the MR-S. hp != faster car.

A touge seems to be a race course designed to resemble a public road, and it's on a hill, and it's run once in the downhill direction and once in the uphill direction. And if the person in the back gets closer to the guy in front by the end of the race he wins and if the guy in front gets farther from the guy in the back then he wins.

All in all, I think it's pretty cool.

Do you know this? Because thats the same thing I got from the video.
trail_boss2
yes you are right about what a touge battle is. they also do it on public roads at night too. kinda like initial d.
clarkma5
No, I don't know that Branden, it's just what I gathered.

Well, what you thought it correct. Happy now?

Hey, awesome BMI video. That wasn't done on a racecourse made to look like a public mountain road, that WAS a public mountain road, they just blocked it off with permission for the BMI video. Touge(pronounced toe-gay) is japanese for "top of hill".

But whenever you hear "touge battle" just think mountain battle. It can be done either uphill or downhill. Downhill gives cars with less power more of an advantage than if it were uphill because gravity isn't acting upon the car making it work harder requiring more HP than if it were downhill. Touge battles are a test of ones reflexes really.

You can't really tell what corner is coming up next so you have to have good reflexes. But before any of you go out and try this on your own, remember that you CAN fall off the cliffside, I have seen it and it is very scary, some live through falling off a cliff, but most don't. So if you do do this, just remember that your life is probably more at risk if you are an amatuer than anywhere else in motorsports.

there really is no set rules to the touge, it is just whatever the two drivers decide on. most of the time it is just a race between friends and no grudges are really held. also, if you are going to do this, get a friend to scout through the area first to see if the area is clear and stand at the end of it to make sure no other cars enter where you are racing, use walkie talkies in case an innocent bystander turns on the road so you your friend can radio back to you to tell you to stop racing because of traffic, and also to avoid traffic race from 1pm to about 6pm because not alot of people are driving at that time.

if there is anything else you need help with, you can send me a PM here or drop me a live at "DriftSaru" on AIM.


peace.

Cyclone
Very nice first post indeed! Good job
Hachi Kid
thanks man. I saw the misinformation
that was being supplied to that other member and I couldn't let it fly so I registered to tell him the correct information. I might stick around a little bit longer to see if this board is any good. I might stay on.


peace.
