AND the Hurricane Amemiya; green with the Asparada Drink vinyl FD E-G was also featured as the official RE Amemiya of Kaido battle, methinks.
Kaido Battle is TXRD1 right? Wasn't it the S-G1 Amemiya in the intro against the S15? Sorry if I'm mistaken, I haven't played TXRD1 in years and haven't even touched TXRD2 or Chain Reaction.
I did some googling on the Amemiya kits and I found that there has been many Super Greddy (Super G) series kits out there. The one on the earlier touge monster and Keisuke's FD was the first Super G, the one on the the Asparadrink GT300 was a variation of that kit. The one on the black 2010 D1GP M7 Amemiya with the different lights (not the 911 ones) and the green touge monster is the Super Greddy 3, while the one with the 911 lamps is the Super Greddy 7.
Overall, the second episode was great. Quality could have been better, as well as the CC subs.
My summary.
SPOILER
The episode starts out with Takumi doing deliveries on Akina. He thinks about the incident with Mika a bit. After he gets back, he gets a phone call from a number he doesn't recognize. Turns out it's Mika...she's apologizing for what she did to him. She said she wanted to meet up with him and apologize in person (since she felt it wasn't right to do it over the phone), and Takumi agrees to go to her. They meet up at a family restaurant and talk about things.
That night at Lake Akina, Takumi and Itsuki discuss the meeting. Takumi admits to Itsuki it's love at first sight, and he feels strange about it. The next day, Mika is taking swings at a range, and she wonders what Takumi is doing. Meanwhile, Takumi is on the job and is caught dazing into the sky. At the gas station, Iketani, Kenji, and Itsuki look at a golf magazine, and find Mika in there.
Project D then heads out to the new course. While Takumi and Keisuke are doing practice runs, people are dotted throughout the course with stopwatches. Fumihiro admits that it's an annoyance, but Ryosuke thinks it's opponents they will face later.
Keisuke faces Kobayakawa in his Evo VII first. Kobayakawa chooses to chase so he can observe his opponent. One of the people who was gathering data predicts that victory will be decided in the first round.

When you look at how long it takes for a race to be won, it would look like Keisuke is just breezing through his races!
SPOILER
The races against Atsuro's ER34, Kyoko's FD, Wataru's Levin and now even the race against Kobayakawa's Evo was just half an episode! Either Keisuke's races aren't that detailed or he just breezes through them

Actually, the race with Wataru was longer - it took them all the way to the third round to decide the winner; the race was a battle of Endurance afterall and it lasted a full episode.
The only formiddable races Keisuke had were against: 1. Wataru (3 rounds) 2. Kozo Hoshino (2 rounds; you can call it 4 rounds if you consider the downhill as a 2nd and 4th run)

One thing still stands though, Keisuke has never had a race that lasted more than one episode except for God Foot. The races against Seiji, Atsuro and Smiley even had to be skipped out on the main series and just be inserted in Battle Stage.

Here's one minor thing I noticed while watching Act 2 last night.
The ped cars have blank plates, like Wangan Midnight. I noticed that when Takumi was backing the 86 into a spot at the restaurant; the yellow Honda Fit next to him had a blank plate, while Takumi had the whole 13-954 and everything else.

I guess the developers were either too lazy to come up with original plates or didn't want to risk making up a plate that coincidentally matches a registered car irl.

Probably the first thing you stated. Real-life Japanese plates are ##-## or *# ##. Plates in Initial D and Wangan Midnight are ##-###.
