Angry crappy 1:18 2f2f skyline from ertl
i just received my 1:18 2f2f skyline (made by ertl) and when i opened the box, i looked inside the car. When I looked at the racing seat, I noticed that they put recaro instead of sparco. screw ERTL!!!

Re: crappy 1:18 2f2f skyline from ertl
find a decal, the reason it says "Recaro" instead of "Sparco" is because ERTL didn't get permission to use the "Sparco" brand name, the same reason why, in the Grand Theft Auto games, the cars don't carry their real names, and plus, it would cost ERTL money to do that

the 3 nitrous bottles are ok, the engine's pretty neat, the wing is sort of cool, the rims are ok. The best thing about this car is the interior.

But if ERTL didn't have the license to put sparco on the cars, how come they had sparco in the 1:18 2f2f supra and the orange one from the first movie?

Woop-di-do. So theres a Recaro seat, which is much better, than a Sparco. How many times have you watched the movie to notice that?

Someone stop him. Stop him now before the madness spreads. The movie really is not that good.
