Yeah the movie was pretty lame in parts.

No Vin Diesel = bad, he was a big part of why the last one was good (sic)/funny. I suppose he "got away" and kudos for following the plot but still... same goes for vince/mia/etc, that whole crew.

Also, fark me "Suki" was ugly! I'd hit it.... with a brick. She's far worse than Dom's g/f in the last one.... between losing mia and one ugly bitch being traded for a worse one, there was a shortage of quality poon in that movie.

It had a very different character to the last one, and while some parts were amusing the general impression was it was worse than the first. Enjoyed the night and going to the drive-ins tho, it was good :P

Yeah top night guys.

Hopefully I won't have to wait for another 20 years to go to the drive-in again...although...back then I remember the screen looking godly - at least 10 times bigger...

My first appearance so was great to meet some of you. Felt a bit left out next to Majanal and Duncan. If only I thought of the cardboard and tape spoilers. I could have turned my R33 into an R34 for the night...or a Ford KA Laser 5-door hatch. Next time bub.

Must admit, I went in there a little biased of the movie due to all of the bad reviewing it got from in here. But after letting the movie hold its own, it was some pretty good entertainment still. A little more cultural I thought having a black Vin Diesel - very Miami Vice.

But what the f*uck was that ending ? He's in an American muscle car ...YES... he got a pretty good runup along the shoreline on that dirt road which didn't seem to have too many bumps in it ... OK still possibly believable... he then pulls a perpendicular launch up a tree and clears at least 200 metres off shore to land on a boat and pulls up on a coin so as not to fly off the other end.

I know I have been reduced to wearing glasses at times due to working with computers all day so I may have missed the jet engine and gull-style doors he may have used...but did I also forget my physics and reasoning ? I know I know - Hollywood... Thats why I'll let them have the jump and the landing...just not the 90 degree turn from runup to launch...

Overall a decent movie, but I'd still prefer if MAJANAL organised an SAU movie production night where we make an Aussie equivalent. Fast and the Furious meets Mad Max 2 meets Herbie the Love Bug. (meets WWF ?!)

Bwahaha, thats exactly what I said to Tex whilst trying to park my car ...

"What the hell is with this bump" - It seems if you put your front wheels on it you get a great view of the screen instead of the back of someones car.

"Who the **** stole our speakers" - It seems only rows infront of us got speakers, the ones behind just got the wires to stick on the cars.

movie was ok in parts......but "worst ending evah!". I guess they're trying to keep the yanks happy instead of just ricers.

Funny part with the cars going into that warehouse. Im using that next time cops chase me - can you guys all go park in a diused warehouse until I need you?

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
