Tokyo Drift.......

Its cool, i saw it a Day Early cuz my gurl werks at the theatre lol. its more realistic than the other ones,and it has hella unexpected events, and the cars are cool. My bro and i are the only ones who knew what each of them were lol. the rest of the people were honda owners haha with stickers. i asked what they had , they said I/H/E, i asked where they got their parts from, they said "I bought it that way" lol.......idk i thought id share with you guys

it looks a bit cheesy, i saw the trailer with a guy driving backwards in front of another car while shootin at it
i mean cmon
thats next to impossible, and then powersliding or "drifting" up a spiral column, i think NOT
but the cars look hella sick
i know they got two veilside cars in there, a 350Z and an RX-7, plus teh Evil R Evo, but anythin else special in there?

daniel

they needed it to drift, so they made in a RWD evo,

That's gotta be on hell of a conversion.

Not really because theoretically all you would need to do is remove the cv axles. and you'd have a rwd evo.

but realistically
WTF would make an AWD a RWD
thats stupid, and it makes u lose acceleration
its all about the real street races, not some doll'd up Hollywood version

daniel

oh. Didn't even realize an evo was awd, figured fwd. shows how much I know about these cars. I know with bimmers, the transfer case is setup as 70% power inback, 30% infront, and if you take out the 2 halfshafts in the front, you still only get 70%. Still, that's pretty easy to replace a transfer case and halfshafts.

You know, personally, I didn't think it was that bad of a movie. I mean, the story was you know, kind of predictable at points but other points were like. Holy ****. The driving that they did was pretty insane, I mean, going through traffic sideways is pretty nuts in itself. Has some comical anecdotes in it. Um, let's see. Obviously Bow Wow isn't a very good actor but hey, name a rapper that is. Not much more that I can say, the cars were pretty sick. I think I spied an rx-8 a handful of skylines, an rx-7 three different 350Z's I think all were veilside. A '05 or '06 Viper, Chevelle. That Mustang, well, it was pretty rad except for the exhaust pipe hanging out the back of it.

why didnt they just drift teh evo with the awd? thats so gay they ruined a car....the movie isnt worth spending money on.. i'm going to go watch 'cars' this weekend...now that will be a movie worth the $6.50.... (and i get to spend time with my 3yr old nephue) lol

im pretty sure that half of the drifts were done with the computer So im not gonna be impressed

haha word

daniel

most of it was CGI. Im going to be studying it for my Media Studies coursework.

true, i dont think the movie had that kind of $$ and enough driver to get everyone sliding....

Heres the faq's:
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)

* Volkswagen donated 4 prototype R32's and 4 Touran minivans to fulfill its pledge with Universal to plug each other's products. As a result, R32's are in the movie.

* Toyo donated 4000 tires for the movie. Roughly half were used. Volk Racing donated 170 wheels as well.

* 600 Asian extras were used during the LA filming days for the street scenes.

* The Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX, an AWD (all wheel drive) car, was converted to RWD in order to drift properly. Same thing was done with 2 of the VW R32's (which are also AWD).

* The VeilSide RX-7 driven by "Hans" used to be a special show car built by VeilSide and crowned "Best of Show 2005" at Tokyo Auto Salon, reportedly worth $150000. Just the custom leather interior reported cost $20000. Universal got it for $50000, and the crew promptly destroyed both the interior and exterior by repainting both (with spray-paint).

* One of the cars never before seen on American TV or Film is the Toyota Chaser, a Camry-sized sedan that has Lexus SC300's engine. Obviously, it was never exported to the US, and previously was only seen on US soil in special drift demo events.

* One of the Mustangs (out of 5) was actually converted to use a Nissan Skyline GT-R engine and transmission, just as the storyline says happened. However, that process took considerably more than just one evening as it did in the movie.

* The movie crew went to Japan and bought as many JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) vehicles as they needed. JDM vehicles have the steering wheel on the right.

* Over 100 cars were destroyed/wrecked during the filming of this movie.

* All of the drifting in the movie was performed by professional drivers, not created by CGI. As reported in a recent Sport Compact Car, Rhys Millen, his father, and a handful of other famous rally and drift racers consistently performed amazing drift sequences for the movie.
