Well, I'm sure this arc is gonna be better than the Lan-Evo one.

This episode was good. The romance is starting to pick up, and so is the rest of the show, actually. 4/5

Our show moron found himself a new girl. And this guy seems to be doing with his Hatchi what out main is trying to achieve. Basically find a way to control it despite being an old car not made for big horse power. I wonder did his dad left the suspension as it was just to make him a better driver or he couldn't improve it anymore because of parts or money?
Btw did they mention the new engine. I don't think i heard what engine it was? Is it a turbo engine or a stronger natural?

I was amused by this episode... "it's slower"... and everybody is going nuts!

Itsuki scores! The new girl doesn't seem annoying at least.

I loved this ep. So much hype on the revived 86. And Itsuki made a friend :) hopefully he doesnt blow it.

Oh boy that ending! That doesn't look too good... also would really love to see both SixEights race against each other next! And I also wonder why we need to feel compassion for that whore? That new girl does seem lovely though!

Seeing Takumi with new 86, it's already better love story than Takumi & Natsuki xD

I want to see! Takumi's 86 vs that 86!
Awwwww... Itsuki, he's such a womanizer! New girl has appeared! Is it spring for him? xD

Uh-oh bad luck

Poor Mogi, Takumi's gaze filled with contempt really hurt her, I hope she won't have to feel like this for much longer.

The new siblings are really cool though, and I'm impressed with Itsuki. He's getting closer to that girl without boasting himself with lies, I think he learned his lesson, and I hope things work out for them, either as friends or something more. The guy too, unfortunately his forced race isn't going to count since there was that guy in the middle of the course, but at least he showed a bit of what he can do to Keisuke.

Keisuke also wasn't kidding when he said he didn't recognize Takumi's loss, he's still saying he never lost, and it really feels this way. Well, let's see what happens now, I guess it won't take much longer for Takumi to get used with his upgraded car.

Now Natsuki is gone. I wish Mako's friend/navigator Sayuki would come back. Takumi is now more of a lonely driver than Itsuki who coined it.

Bunta's like the Mr. Miyagi of racing.

Ah, I felt bad for Mogi, she actually does love Takumi. Hmm, so the new engine really is a powerhouse, it will take a while to master though. Itsuki's love life seems to be going well.

RIP Takumi's savings. But he was okay with using them in the first place, so it's cool.

Haa, maybe Itsuki will final have a girlfriend. :D

New driver, Wataru, with his own modified AE86 challenged Keisuke. That plot twist at the end, Damn. I hope nothing bad is not gonna happen.

I wonder if Takumi spilled the water. ;pp

That Kenji is almost always on the station. If I were him I would ask the manager to hire me, haha.

Bunta really dumped a lot of money into the 86, but all Takumis work for the Tofu shop was worth it for such generous engine upgrade

Damn it's back and Takumi's baby is back too bad for his other one crying herself on her bedside

I mean fair enough Kazumi isn't polite when it comes to her judgment but yelling after that as a response was just unexpected like who gives a fuck if people enjoy shit let them enjoy shit if people hate shit let them hate shit

A car that teaches the driver I want that car, I Would like to see Takumi improve more without the winning part seems like he can't progress without losing.

wow what a cliffhanger.

seems itsuki's romance is gaining some development, i mean he's even already calling her '-chan' lmao. good for him.

meanwhile, mogi seems to be going through it, that scene begs me to believe she'll be back for more screentime.
takumi ain't even thinking about her tho, bro just worried about his 86 lmao.

The hachi-roku is ready, but Takumi still doesn't realize the power it has. When he does he will be a racing monster.

Spanish translation:
El hachi-roku esta listo, pero Takumi aun no se da cuenta del poder que tiene. Cuando lo haga será un monstruo en las carreras.
