What does he say at the end???
By his comments at the end - sounds like this car will be a good platform
Observations; NA, single tip exhaust, stock body, no cage.
KILL WITH FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sweet! It looks and sounds good.
I would really like to see what this car can do in D1 with some more tuning.
I'm sorry but who on the earth created that livery?
i mean look at it!it's ugly!get it out of my sight!
Comparing the ScionRacing livery and this is like comparing HRT and Red Bull Racing
Who on earth created that livery?
it's UGLY!!!
C'mon who ever did this can do a better job than this..
Scion Racing did a superb job with their livery and UpGarage/Falken...
I think the only word to describe this livery is 'HOPELESS'
Hibino said that, "hashimawari" (suspension setup) are not dialed-in yet, so the car doesn't feel right yet.
However, with some practice, he believes the 86 will be a good platform (a good car to drift with).
Hibino looks so funny at the end of the video.
