RAW JAPAN’s Take
To mark 30 years, they went all-in with a lineup that hits every fan's sweet spot.
AE86, FD3S, FC3S, and even that legendary Impreza—this series is practically “Build-Your-Own Initial D at Home.”
For the record, I used to rewind the VHS just to watch Keisuke’s FD tearing up the mountain roads on loop.
Let’s be honest—there’s really no excuse not to preorder this set.
