The Fast and The Furious 3

[pizzaman]

With all the ideals we have we could probably come up with better versions of F&F. Let's get real here for a few..The only time I've seen cars that the owner dropped more than 20,000 into is at the car shows not on the street racing. What I see on the street racing is some kid that buys a car for under 3000 and drops around 5000 into it. Many times when I talk to some of these kids I ask them what they have done and it's mostly engine, bodykits and interior mods. Hardly any of them think about the suspension. I guess that is why I see most of the in the junkyard with 6 months to a year.

Speed kills... But skill and handling saves your ass

I agree very first thing that should be updated on a car is the brakes. Lol then the tires.

One thing about ricers is after they total out their cars you can go to the junk yard and get their mods cheap. A friend of mine pick up some AGX shocks for about half the price and they were still in good condition.

if you saw the making of fast n furious part 1 you would know that the cars in the movie was real. they put up billboards at local import shows all over the world for every import racer to attend. Ricers???? how can u call a line up like the Veilside RX7 , The official passenger driver side Skyline, a well respected Maxima and A chick pushing a Sylvia rice???
I think you all got that term misunderstood. U can only hope your car can stomp wit the big dogs. Shout out to my whole second generation integration family (Safe Driving);]

i very much agree! maybe im just retarded but can someone tell me the real meaning behind rice cuz most of you guys use it to describe damn near everything. there isnt a car in either movie i wouldnt drive and if you say you wouldnt your full of shat.

They're not completely real. All the cars are slow ass show cars. Maybe you should do a little research before commenting. There are only a few actual fast cars in the second movie, the rest were all for show. And the fast ones in the second movie were slower than stock, because of all the crap they loaded onto them to make them show quality.

To integrawhat - the only car I would drive out of thew whole series is the Evolution. And no I'm not full of it, the rest of the cars are completely riced out and a total joke. If you do a search in the Honda/Acura forums you'll see a few threads describing what Rice means.

yeah your right all those stickers and paint are heavy as hell and theres no way a turboed v6 could beat your civic cuz it has a tv that adds 4 pounds

Right Hand Drive kid...

The movies arent THAT bad but like someone said before alotta people recognize "race" cars now...My car sounds decent with the exhaust and the girls love when the VTEC screams at em...didnt see much of that before fnf because they were only seen as nice cars before the movies...although I am getting tired of countless little kids asking me if I have NAAAWZ in my car and when I say no tell me im lying because my air/fuel guage is my NaAaaAWz meter...

I was refering to the body kits, big rims, and stereo systems in the cars. I'm sorry you don't know fact from fiction when it comes to movies, but that's your problem not mine. Go ahead and believe what you want, you'll only get laughed at by people who live in reality.

another one is coming out!!!!!!

You sir fall into that category, pull yourself out of the shows and go to the real drag races and you will learn alot.

believe this, i know fact from fiction and the fact is i do quit a bit of racing on the street and strip and a bit of road racing at mid ohio ive worked at more than one tuner and custom shop and im curently in school to be honda certified thanks. i drive a 13.387 sec daily driven "show car" its called show and go and its not just in movies (you get an average of .1 sec loss for for every 100 pounds) if you compare the weight from a body kit to the pieces they replace its not that different and if the kit is glass its gonna be lighter (not to mention the weight loss from cf hood, trunk and glass fenders) and in some cases more areodynamic. im not a fan of chrome rims cuz they are heavy and a part of the rotating mass which does make a noticable difference but size isnt alway synonymous with weight theres quit a few companies that make 18's that are lighter than your stock 14's. yes subs are heavy (and also removable on track days) my back seats and trunk were gutted to make room for them and to help with weight, even with them in i lose less than .5 sec avg. (which would still make me faster) the only cars i remember seeing in the movies that raced and had big stereo systems were the rx7 and the supra and for gods sake its an rx7 and a supra i think they both have plenty of potential power to have a couple subs in the trunk and not even notice. i use nitrous cuz it works not cuz some movie made it look cool by blowing up a car with it (nitrous is NON FLAMABLE by the way) nitrous has been around for decades, and for a reason, just because people are scared of it doesnt make it bad. i dont know how much heavier you guys think a show car is but unless you have a completely gutted "race car" its not that much heavier to classify it as slow just cuz it looks nice. just because you see it in a fictional movie doesnt mean it cant become reality sorry for the run on and when girls see the car they dont laugh they ask to sit in it and hear the "big speakers" they seem to like the vibrating lol

[integralover]

for me i think that nos is the dumbest load of crap i have seen. i think of nos as the cheaters way out.
i had raced a car just last night that was the same damn car i had. the only thing he had was the same exact exhaust. that's it!!!! we raced from the line i killed him. it was sad. switch to second gear, looked in the mirror and he's getting further away. then third gear, uh wha??? all of the sudden he is now passing me???? i'm thinking there is no way???? we get to the next red, i asked "are you sprayin?" and of course he says "yea. how'd you know?" well duh. look at my mods. no way he should beat me unless he is sprayin or forced induction.
i could easily add nos to my car. it's like having cheat codes in a game to get experience. i would rather take my time and do it right to have my car where it is and feel proud about what i have done then to go buy a $200 kit to go the easy route.
to me, NOS is BS

P.S. anyone check the date on this thread???? and good job Fuxwitus 1st for bringing back all of these old threads for us to read again.
