Haha I loved that post. Also...

-don't granny shift. double clutch like you're supposed to.

- true friends drive in line with eachother or in some sort of sweet formation
- punching your nitrous, excuse me, NOS, warps time/space around you as you drive
 
-beware of asian guys who wear black 'wife beaters' and have 100k into their 'honda 2000' engines. they will smoke you every time after they say 'too soon junior!'

-after you passed the 1/4 mile mark and must barely missed getting tagged by a train, don't look at your opponent or else a misguided truck will drive into your outrun path. every time.
 
-if you use the right double tape, your chin spoiler will stay on no matter how many times your car gets airbourne and lands chin first.

Interesting. This video proves that if you drive a bright orange supra, you end up driving around fast with some guy who looks like vin deisel sitting in the passenger seat.

But if you drive a Ferrari, you go slower, but you have a good looking lady next to you.

Hmmm I'll take one of the slower cars please! :wink::tongue::biggrin:
 
If you can't find the tool you need here, then you don't belong near a car !
 
Not a bad movie at all, even though the plot was borrowed from Point Break.

It went overboard on some of the cars, but it was still the only movie to embrace the pocket-rocket Japanese car-culture that was still kinda low-key at that time, and it subsequently caused millions of kids to pump millions of dollars into the after market industry.

You want a ridiculous car movie, watch any of the Taxi movies (The original French ones, not the Queen Latifah remake). Overboard but entertaining!

+1. Sadly for the real tuners and tuning companies, the industry is now falling apart as quickly as it became "mainstream." I was saddened to hear that Sport Compact Car published its last issue this month. While lots of fluff import parts companies are going out of business, many good tuning companies are going to go by the wayside as well. Oh well I suppose, back to building custom tuning parts like we used to have to do with everything =)

I still can't understand why the headlights are up on the Ferrari. I guess maybe they broke?
 
What about the Eclipse from the sequel? At least a turbo supra is fast and nothing says fast like a purple eclipse spyder with 20's, body kit and a spoiler.

Good point. I was in a car club (i know i know) when that movie came out. We all went to see it. It was an event! We mainly did hp mods to our cars while the other clubs did the wild paint and body kits and shit. We where soo dissapointed in that movie.
