airjordan223 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 i think it was good for a hollywood movie. they attracted the audience that the movie was made for. if it was made for the people who actually knew cars, i dont think it would sell as much. when people go to movies the want to see the biggest explosions, the scariest movie, something that is out of the norm, so it makes sense that the cars were all kitted and covered with vinyl. i completely understand where youre coming from sonny and agree. it was cool to see some of the cars, bow wows was terrible, just like him. the rx-7 was awesome, i saw that in a mag probably a year ago, too bad they trashed it. i thought it was good to see some cars and drifting. i guess if you want to see how it really goes, go out to events with your camera or watch true life im a drifter!!!

Drifting outside Japan "officially" began in 1996 with an event at Willow Springs racetrack in California hosted by the magazine Option. Inada, the NHRA Funny Car drag racer Kenji Okazaki and Dorikin, who also gave demonstrations in a Nissan 180SX the magazine bought over from Japan judged the event with Rhys Millen and Bryan Norris being two of the entrants and the race was incidentally won by a Honda Civic. It has since exploded into a massively popular form of motorsport in North America, Australia, and Europe. In the United Kingdom a drift contest was hosted in 2002 by the OPT Drift Club, run by a tuning business called Option Motorsport. The club held a championship called D1UK, then later became the Autoglym Drift Championship. For legal reasons the business was forced to drop the Option and D1 name. The club was since absorbed into the D1 franchise as a national series. There was an Irish series that was called the D1IRL which was also forced to change names for legal reasons. Drifting techniques The basic driving techniques used in drifting are constant, though each car and driver will employ some subset of these techniques. They include: * Hand-brake or Emergency brake drift - The hand-brake is pulled to induce rear traction loss. This is generally the main technique to attempt to drift a FWD car. Also, this technique is used heavily in drift competitions to drift large corners. " there is more but toook them out to save space" but besides that i liek the movie it was better then the second one the secodn oen IMO had nothign to relay do wiht the car secne i have arelay seen it liek 13 times...:-p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 It was better than 2 and possibly better than 1. I liked it because it was a little more realistic than the first 2. (still pretty unrealistic though). At least they didn't have 9 second eclipses on street tires. I did find it funny how they were drifting in and out of cars as if it was the fastest way to go. If the RX7 hadn't been drifting and just drivin fast and normal he would have outrun the guys that were drifting. Oh well, he's dead now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airjordan223 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 yeah the turbo z, maybe twin, dont remember was putting out 400hp, it comes stock with like 300. lame. but then again, those cars are built for drifting not 1/4 times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan168 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I liked the first one but only because the story line, and it was the first movie if its kind really. All the cars in the first 2 looked extremely ricey to me. In the third one they toned down the rice alot, but they used way to many factory cars ie. Veilside Rx-7, The red Evo (APR i believe) and then alot of the cars drifting down the montain. I like the third one most though, Iam really big into drifting though so that probably has alot to do with it but yea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EH6TunerDaniel Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Apparently its a common swap. Military guys bring their american muscle to Japan or whereever they go, then blow the motor. Japanese motors are easier to find and a lot cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
