Almost looks like a heater pipe

Wow is this thread older than dirt or what?

...anyway no matter how legit of a racer/rodder he is, I would never admit to being a technical consultant on that movie - that whole damn movie was one big technical inaccuracy (I know this and I didn't even see it).
That's like bragging about being the martial arts consultant for a Power Rangers movie.

wow, this thread is old... hmm well.... whatever....

[TatII]

wow lookin at it now, damn those cars are ugly. the only exception was the 240sx ( without the graphics ) the GTR and the supra. the charger, that was really nice too. but that teg and civic and that eclipse was just tooo damn ugly.

[nissanfanatic]

Its NAWZ.

Hahahaha/....I remember the first time watching the movie in 2002....rented it at a blockbuster in Hong Kong. I was like...the fuck? What is that green car?? I had no idea what make it was from, let alone the model. Back in Hong Kong, all the cars we had were direct from Japan...so we don't see American cars.

I was asking everybody what car that was, nobody knew. Now, I know its a DSM, or a Mitsubishi Eclipse. ....its funny.

Anyways, I'm waiting for The Fast and the Furious Part 3. I like the movie, I like the cars, but I would definately invest in performance parts prior to making the car look good. IMO, they should use a Nissan S15 Silvia this time....that's one of my personal favourite cars.

It can't be that hard to duplicate...slap on a spoiler, green neons, and the body kit and there you go. The eclipse would be harder to duplicate, same with the supra.

Not to get off-topic, but has anyone else wondered why the Big Three haven't considered making their own version of these movies?

[CassiesMan]

I dunno...it was hard enough to watch the first two F&Fs, dunno if I could sit through an entire movie filled with DHWMs...

I also don't really think that this movie was made or thought up by Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Mazda, Mitsubushi or the like. It came out in 2001, and by then the Supra, RX-7, 300ZX, 240SX, and DSM Eclipses had stop being sold on the market. I know that with 2F2F, Mistu used the release to market the Evo introduction in the US and to bolster sales of the new Eclipse, but other than that, I don't think the movie had any real connections with the manufacturers at all.

i kno im just sayin...it was a civic made as a replica of the cars in the movie...same wheels, wing, body kit, etc.
