Nice looking, but if it wasnt in the movie it would be cooler. Also heard its not so fast as it looks (ToT)

but it hasn't been in the movies? it's a look a like. and there are tons of cars in films and very few of them every appreciate in value. something from a cruddy pop culture movie like FF3 is never going to increase in value.

And considering the one they used in the movie was built by Veilside there is a pretty big difference.

Its a little steep for an auto if you ask me though...

agree 100% on that point. the AT let's it down. but on the other hand a car with a massive stereo, full leather interior and a body kit like that is not going to be trashing around the togue doing 3rd gear entries... or ripping it up in a time attack or something, so maybe auto is not such a bad choice given the type of car it is....ok, what am I saying. MT would be far better, even given the cars purpose.

:rofl: exactly what i was thinking.

But then again they did drive it pretty hard in the movie :(

I think based on what is being displayed at Auto-salons and car shows around Japan recently, the trend has swung from "lots of go" to "lots of show". Hence why the car is in this kind of form. But actually there was one of these for sale with the same colours as the movie one before. Not sure if it was manual or auto though...

want one?? the guy who painted my car built some for Tokyo drift (hence post above) and is currently building another for a Prince in Saudi-Arabia along with the Yellow Honda NSX... long story..

haha was reading this on IMDB: "The VeilSide RX-7 driven by Han used to be a special show car built by VeilSide and crowned "Best of Show 2005" at Tokyo Auto Salon, reportedly worth $150,000. Just the custom leather interior reported cost $20,000. Universal got it for $50,000, and the crew promptly destroyed both the interior and exterior by repainting both (with spray-paint)."

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
