I figure we all want to rant a bit since it is coming out...

This was over on the suby Forum I just had to share it...

I actually hope this movie had the impact we all think it will, I can wait to see most shitty ricers appearing on the streets.
I am glad though that there is no Subaru appearing, It would more then likly send our insurance rates up.

hehe oh geese here it goes. heres my 3 cents (yes 3):

The movie is supposed to be better than the others in terms of realism and action shots (drifting). since i buy every tuner car magazine, ive read every detail about this movie. apparently its not even filmed in Japan (minus a few scenes), but rather in downtown LA.

anyways, just like any other underground street dude im gonna have to say that this is gonna blow up drifting and basically ruin the purity of the sport, but at the same time it will give it some much needed exposure to the mainstream, where the business will grow (financially of course) and allow more events and an all around larger scene/following. so in its own way its good and bad at the same time.

ive always had the "underground purist" mentalilty about everything ive been into, be it music or motorsports, i like the real life, from the street-type stuff, not the shit on MTV and G4. thats just me and im happy with it, but just about anyone who isnt into our scene is gonna be like "oh shit, drifting, lets try!" and theres gonna be accidents, deaths, all that garbage. thats just how the world works, and hollywood makes it easier for kids (and stupid adults) to view influences that could easily get them hurt or in trouble. average joe hasnt heard of drifitng, and just like back in 2001 no one was really aware of the street racing scene, this type of movie is gonna show everyone not 'in the know' that drifting is ok to do on the street and that its the 'cool' thing to do. i could go on and on.

dang that was a RANT if u ask me! night folks

^lmao. i know this is prob gonna bring on some sort of flame, but ive done a fwd type of drift in the neon and it was a blast. I suppose its called a powerslide since the ebrake has to be involved throughout the drift, but if you do it right and know how to modulate throttle and brakes its quite possible and loads of fun. much more so in the rain! anyone else try something like this? Im workin on my technique tho, its something to do when u dont feel like speed driving.

ill be seeing the movie too BTW of course, its gonna be entertaining im sure. i like the F&F movies, but i also think theyre quite silly, especially the more i get into the scene and learn how truly retarded some of the parts are.

too bad there is not "underground" here in phx all the illegals were cracked wide open.. good thing too it was gettin ghey a ton of ricers/wannabes losing thier cars too people that actully knew what they where doing..then crying about it or just standing around and drawing more unwanted attention..

OB · Post by OB » Wed May 24, 2006 2:37 pm

yeah bro its pretty harsh here in CA (as everyone already knows im sure). theres entire police forces dedicated to takin out "street racers". terrible, but it makes the state money in fees and impound sales, so i guess its ok (JK yeah right!). anyways, its gonna get worse with another new thing for the ricers to "try out". autozone is gonna get rich off this one (again) for sure.

My friends and I back home got a gun pulled on us because we wouldnt Race.

Our shop was known as "Knightmare Performance" (Sorta like a knight and his horse.. Knight.. Mare.. get it? lol nevermind) Our main project car was a high 11s low 12s 96 GSX that was setup for Willow Springs. Handled like a dream. Had 360hp with around 350 Ftlbs or torque. It's been 3 years so I dont remember exact figures.

Well this "CLUB" challenged us to a race and we told them we werent interested. They drove a bunch of Hondas and Tegs.. The Quickest in the CLUB was probably a 14 second Civic Hatch. But oh man did they think they were fast.

After I lit up one of their chronies at a stop light with an all wheel drive burnout They called the DAWGS out. They found us at Dennys where we always hung out after wrenching all day. The challenged us to race the GSX vs the Civic Hatch. I said we arent interested we only do our racing on road courses or drag strips.

They brought up the Burnout and I said I was having fun. So The dude pulls out a gun and says "So is it fun now? How bout that race" So Slowly I pulled out the Dyno Sheets and Quarter Mile ET slips out of the sun visor and handed it to the dude. He looked at them, Ripped them up and got back in his car and drove off. I thought he was going to shoot me so I figured I would make him feel like an idiot first.

"I heard those guys are a bunch of pussies" is all we heard when We would go out after that. Kinda Rediculous IMO.

Yeah, with the first two movies, all we had to worry about was idiots driving as fast as possible between stoplights and Wal-Mart and Autozone were running out of clear taillights and decals.

NOW, though, there's going to be assholes pulling the e-brake around every corner, thinking they can do it on exit ramps and anywhere they want. I'm really not looking forward to the reaction to this movie.

EXACTLY like someone said above, I'm scared to try and leave the movie for fear that I might be ganged up on by some newly-educated pro-drifters in Cavaliers.

Good time for me to upgrade to full coverage so if one of these fools hit me....

Post by **racer12306** » Wed May 24, 2006 5:16 pm

ill see it when it comes to ondemand, which will probably be pretty quick. im not gonna spend money to see it.

i too have seen worse, the first fast and the furious. the second one was better than the first, but it still sucked.

i hope there is some kind of a disclaimer at the beginning saying not to perform the following stunts on the street.

hell, the NHRA released a statement after the first F&F movie came out saying that they do not condone the actions of the movie.

if only people didnt take shit so literally that they see in movies and on TV, we wouldnt have these problems.

Ifixyawata · Post by **Ifixyawata** » Wed May 24, 2006 5:21 pm

It'll be funny when one of these fools with a pedal-operated e-brake gets it stuck and bounces it through a store window.

OB · Post by OB » Wed May 24, 2006 5:21 pm

people are f**king stupid, and thats really all there is to it.

Sure the movies make any enthusiast wanna go hook up their car and live in a dream world of cars and racing. but most normal people end up ricing out their car and living in a real world of attempting to race and crashing/killing someone else. too many humans are idiots who make me worry about who i have to drive next to on the road.

Ifixyawata · Post by **Ifixyawata** » Wed May 24, 2006 5:29 pm

A lotta the people who die in street-racing related crashes aren't just idiot wannabe's though. Think of the young kid from SRT forums.

OB · Post by OB » Wed May 24, 2006 6:06 pm

I dont know how much of a "hardcore" racer he was, but the kid was like 17 when he died as a passenger of someone elses car. srt owners can be ricers too...theyre just rich ones.. haha jk... anyone with some money and a lack of knowledge in the real scene can be a poser. the difference between a ricer and an enthusiast is ignorance and passion. the ricer is ignorant and lacks passion for motorsports and tuning. they do it cuz they think it looks cool and makes them fit in, but the ironic thing is that it DOESNT. its hard to fake it in this game, you can tell right off the bat if someone has it or if they dont.

Yo! Mad drifta's of da dot-org! We's driftin' now, baby!

Whatever, people are stupid, kids with cars are stupider, and people who immitate things from movies in their cars are the stupidest.

I had a ricer in this yellow 4 door 'teg today pull up next to me at a stop light as it was turning green punch it going about 15 and totally blow my ear drums with his freaking rice cannon. I started to punch it, but decided, "why the hell should I? So I can look like a moron too???" I hate that mentality - I was on my way to a car lot to check out this new car, and he cuts me off, twice, and then ends up pulling into the SAME lot as me. Well, I am high strung, so I immediately prepare for some fisticuffs when he jumps out and he ends up being a porter who works on the lot. I walk by him and stare at him and say "ricer". He just keeps walking. the damn bright yellow car has honda emblems all over it and a bunch of VTAK! stickers too... I wanted to hit him and beat him in the head until all the rice fell out... MAN THAT MAKES ME MAD... Sorry, ok, back to the topic.

he wasnt a ricer, nor was the person driving. he made legitamate parts for srt's and they were testing a part out. but unfortunatly the person driving was too stupid and couldnt handle the car. he was in college at Florida State (i think)

idk about that ...theres a mexican that ride out in a fugly civic all uneven rattle canned black primer car that needs body work looks like hell gots the stickers and crap and the wing...but paces srts....never took it too a track hes a older dude...omg that is a sleeper..hahah like a reverse one

OB · Post by OB » Wed May 24, 2006 7:20 pm

there are exceptions to the rule, but if u ask me, a balance of a well kept clean car AND performance attention under the hood is the best way to tune a car. a sleeper is cool, but a beater is NOT. get what i mean? no disrespect to that guy with the civic, but a beat up POS that happens to have a turbo (who knows how reliable his setup is) isnt my cup of tea. but thats off topic. back to our regular scheduled programming

ummm wow. i mean come on now it is not that serious. unless it was for money or somethin....sounds like a bunch of little ricers who sit there and bang their car off the rev limiter for no reason then get pissed off like hell when they loose and try to fight you or try to fight you when you say somethin bad about their car. fuckin idiots...thats why i dont even bother with those type. i see them on the road revin their single cam non vtec motors, bouncing the hell off the rev limiter and playin their damn reggae tone clown music. fuckin cant stand that shit..i dont even look at um no more...i try not to give them the attention that they dont deserve. i just dont understand why they think it is cool to have a 4 tone color single cam non vtec civic with intake and muffler and then sit there and rev the hell out of it and do burnouts everywhere. anyways yeh im gonan seee the new f&f. not driving my car there though...i can already see all the 16 year olds who just got their licenses to try drifting in the parking garage...

Nevermind. My point was that riceboy idiots aren't the only ones who die as a result of driving too fast.

i thought "tuneing" a car meant getting a EMS or wideband or something and playing with it.. idk how reliable it is but its been around before i moved out here 2 years ago and is only getting faster i havent been out since january im sure its faster than a srt now......and isnt this the offtopic forum?

god for some reason i feel like a dick today...

technically speaking yes, tuning would involve adjusting the engine management (or other computer systems to make the car run differently), but I was refering to 'modifying' a car when i said 'tuning'. and just cuz its IN the off topic area doesnt mean that the thread doesnt have a TOPIC!

yeah every town has a few rice and/or beater cars that are actually fast. its very unusual and clearly worthy of mention, as we've seen here. I have a story of my own that relates:

I was on my way home from work and driving in front of me is what looked to be a mazda (protege??) that was a few years old. it looked ok, mostly stock exterior, but I noticed the ugly muffler. it was a cannon style, except instead of having a big tip, the tip was like 2" in diameter and about 6" long, while the cannister was a full size (like mine). it looked hideous, so i wrote it off as rice and continued following him onto the freeway. Just as we turn, I hear 'PSSSSS', and damn near shat my pants. this guy was boostin! he pretty much took off from there and that was that. I was impressed to say the least, but i still dont know what that muffler was all about

I want one of those. They have an ES for sale at the lot my buddy works at, but it has 63k miles (it's decked out though! no turbo

Apparently the climax of the movie is when he puts a Skyline GT-R motor into his (dead?) fathers 67 Mustang. Its all in HotRod magazine, they were sorta irate about it.

all the cars are in the New Sport Compact Car Magazine.

They rip on the movie the whole time.
