Hopefullu most of you know about and have seen the japanese Anime drift racing series, in stage 4 toward the final episodes there is an SVX on the side of the road just before one of the races begins

If you havent heard of or seen any Initial D episodes, it is a Must!!

I was so excited when i saw my car haha, here is the proof!

Sorry bout the quality i took a photo of the TV screen

I actually never watched the Ini-D series, but I know that SVX showed up twice so far. One is the one you have and the other one is SVX going away on some street. Showing the rear. This is like 0.5 sec. Interesting to see SVX like that. SVX is still remembered among many car guys in Japan! Off the topic a bit, but SVX was just added to one of the new arcade game called "Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune"... only available at arcade so far. SVX was the one of the 6 new cars added to that game, isn't that great?

I had noticed the rear shot and also another front shot at some lights again like 0.5 of a sec... but wasnt sure enough that it was an svx... not until the unmistakeable side shot reveling the windows!!!

Actually faster (ran a 14.9 on steelies), but too many small problems were adding up and I got tired of fwd. I got two grand out of the trade and both cars had ~85k miles. I'm a bit more grown up and loud Civics are no longer my forté.

Thats pretty cool, They actually have to draw it in too being an anime. Not just a car someone had sitting around.

Yeah, I remember seeing the SVX in the car list for that game. Have you played it? Maybe someday they'll make a PS2 port of it.

I'm only on the 6th episode of 4th stage, but when I get to the later episodes I'll keep my eyes open for that SVX.
