I can only remember the old B&W footage of Fangio fanging it through the streets of Paris in the early hours of the morning.

There was an extremely impressive boat chase through the canals of Amsterdam in the film called "Puppet On A Chain" circa '71 I think

I've always been on the lookout for this at Cash Converters to see if my memory has built up the awesomeness of those few minutes into an expectation far in excess of what it really is Noel hehe

Well, I'll just have to google it think. I've always thought it was better than the chases in Moonraker

I do recall the boat chase in "puppet" Terry. It was well worth the watch.

The movie I am referring to was lauded for its chase scene well beyond the actual movie use by date but fell off the chain somewhere in the 80's when car chase movies becme the norm.

I'll keep looking.

I can't believe this movie never got mentioned, but I am accidentally watching it on SBS2 tonight.

Thunderbolt, a 95 Jackie Chan movie. Awesome....JDM stuff everywhere....it may turn out rubbish but with Jackie Chan and R32 GTR it seems to have everything going it's way

Ah, the one with the Mitsu GTO?

I still remember the Who Am I Evo parking job.

Yeah I was watching that too. Remember watching it ages ago

The final race was good for lulz, so many cars crashing out & the sped up footage etc.

It was more like a destruction derby than a circuit race hahah

the best movie ive seen besides fast and the furious is an old movie called running on empty ,

aussie flick about a GT HO falcon and a blind bloke who teaches the young fella how to drive a blown 57 chevy. to race against a fastback falcon.

... Running on empty, crappy story line nice Aussie/muscle cars.

"greeens nice"

Raised in a holden family, grew up watching the older classics like it. Compared to some of the so called "Car Movies" these days it's not that bad...

( Edit... ) Also on a side note... i enjoy Running on empty for 2 reasons, the cars and the fact there is not 1 CGI scene in it. all done by the actors/stunt drivers. For what it is its pretty damn good

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
