Yes, its a raced design motor - and thus preforms like one. REAL Spoon motors get rebuilt every race. Spoon basically does a blueprint/balance on the motor, and sets the parts to their own settings and tolerances. In order to keep the motor running properly, well you have to get them "reset" to those tolerances rather often.

its all F&F hype...

I like the movie cuz of the cars. I aint as far into the "I hate altezzas", I hate most body kits" as most of you around here. I do hate those damn aluminum spoilers except tho, cept on certain cars.

"I just checked their cars, and Hector's gonna be running 3 Honda Civics with Spoon Engines, and on top of that, he came by to the store today and picked up 3 T-66 Turbos, with NOS and a MOTEC system exhaust"

That's the part where Brian is caught by Dominic, checking Hector's garage.

I personally like the movie even though the story is crap and they are mistaken in a lot of stuff (like in the part of the movie scripted before, Brian talks of the MOTEC Exhaust as if it were a type of exhaust, not as a manufacturer) this movie does it's job of entretaining me for the duration of the movie, and I'm looking forward for the sequel.

Oh god no please no.Ive never thought of this.
Your statement makes me think. When 2f&F comes out will everyone run to get the cheapest Skyline (1990 R32 gts is only 20,000) just to say they drive a skyline and be 'cool'?

But then again i dont know I liked the 1st movie. It was kinda like porn for car people.
In porn theres never a plot just like F&F.

i think its so sad...

i got eclipse's rolling around my city with the exact paint job as the green eclipse in F&F - actually...its EXACTLY like it...wing and everything...but then the engine is STOCK

I don't know what they're trying to do by making an F&F clone...get their car drafted into the next F&F..?

don't they realize that car was blown up in the first one...and its never coming back? :hehehe:

i mean...its sorta hard to claim that its the car that actually came from the moving....considering that theres about 5 other guys rolling around the city that looks exactly like theirs...


and the skyline thing....I think i'm gonna cry....
