i don't play Initial D often enough to warrant those 'cards' anyway so i cbf'd modding it up... BattleGear is better coz you get modded cars straight away and it's easier to drift them... (plus they look better)

I think the first serious of Initial D has just been officialing releast in Australia in the last week or two. Unfortunately I've been told It's expensive and a bit crap with only three episodes per DVD, there are also 3 episodes that have been changed with western names, and the characters speak english, I've been told it sucks.

Gosh just like everything else we officially get the stuff as its history 4 other country, I've seen all the episode 2yrs ago & lucky me it was the original Japanese version with sub title, so u get all the high quality sound 2.

i prefer drifting in Battle-Gear 2 (assuming you're talking about the arcade games). just pop into 2nd, swing the wheel and a slight tap on the brakes and you'll be sideways in no time, hahahaha...!!
