I'm glad someone is translating these to english, but I think the need someone on the editing team that actually knows something about cars.
With translations like:
QUOTE | THIS CAR IS RUNNING 1 KG/cm2 AT 450HP |
Most people would say 14.5 Psi or 1 Bar, nobody says 1 kilogram per centimeter squared of boost.
and
QUOTE | THIS FOOTWORK IS AWESOME, UPPER PILLOW, CALIPERS, ROTORS, COILOVER SET, STABILIZERS... EVERYTHING!
|
Footwork I get, they mean "suspension" (like in the initial D torrent when they start talking about the quakeproof!) but wtf is upper pillow?
Also I think they need to get more people involved to speed the project up.

I've made countless offers to help out with the Photoshop side of things, but they never respond. Either they're on a mission to get it done themselves (admirable, but pointless considering the schedule they've been keeping), or they somehow never see the emails, private messages, IRC messages, and forum messages I've left on the subject. Oh well. Seems somewhat selfish/arrogant to ignore offers of help, because there's hundreds of people waiting on new releases, and it's a bit unsporting to not care about that.
If I could find people with the tankubons willing to scan them, and people willing to translate, I'd start my own guerilla WM scanlation group.

Van: Lol, they already have threads about when the next one is coming out...and I have complained on other forums. They just don't care. They said before that the next update would be a BIG one because the had a lot done...and then we only got one chapter. Guess we'll either have to wait, or someone else can just start translating it...you snooze you lose.
Mr. Camo: The pillow mount is NOT the plate, and it is NOT a Tein term nor is it a current "cool" term. If you would have read anything you would have realised that right away. It is the bearing within the plate that helps allign the spring better. "...which eliminates the load input compliance, and reduces the change of alignment to improve the grip of the tire..." There's a lot more OBVIOUS information there, that you obviously did NOT read and just looked at the pictures...sad, because it's like a paragraph at that.
For the past 6 years I have heard the term used over and over again. Be it from people building D1 cars and other professional cars, to some ricer Honda newb talking about suspension upgrades.
I am not infering you know NOTHING about cars, I do not want to get into a pissing contest because this is the internet and it is pointless. But the fact of the matter is you had no idea what a very common knowledge suspension upgrade was, and you were complaining in the same 2 sentences that people have little knowledge of cars. Honestly, what would you infer from that? Truthfully, at that point you kinda stuck your own foot in your mouth and looked like a dumbass.
We've discovered a lot since the wheel and fire...
