So this popped up somehow on my YT feed. Is the infamous “Duct Tape Deathmatch” seen in Initial D possible IRL? Well, some guys tried it out for reals and........

He taped his hand in the wrong spot. He’s got twice as much range for right-hand turns than he does for lefties.

At any rate, I’m relieved that he’s not trying to pass this off as a cool or fun idea.

But the whole point of it, in the anime, is that you steer the car with the throttle not the wheel.

The whole point of it is, in the anime, that the EG civic is driven by arrogant douchebags.

Yep, same chassis and nearly everything is swappable between them. Before that I did have an EG though. But it didn’t have A/C which was fine in WA, but I’m moving back to Texas soon so I bought the Integra. I checked junkyards and all the cars either didn’t have A/C or were stripped already, but I have an Integra with A/C now!
