i had a ramble in another forum about why I enjoyed Fast and the Furious 1, so ill just paste it there cause its a slow night in the Vic wastelenad.

First movie you could say was the most "scene" worthy of the lot. Was all about Chrome, neons, decals, spray jobs, hydralics and NOS. It has the most interesting plot, the most basic action, and introduced a world (relatively) similar to real past times. Its easy to see why its the most popular and enjoyable.

Tokyo Drift was the next closest thing to introducing a different scene. Different crowds/gangs, different characters and different styles of cars. However, a try-hard plot, weak script and CGI instead of stunts ruined it. Every other movie in the series has been about more plot, more action, more ridiculous scenarios and not about a scene or relating to real life whatsoever. The previous movie was a relief to see the return of real car stunts and an enjoyable plot (yet more ridiculous) and by the US reviews of the lastest movie we should hopefully see more car real car stunts and more ridiculous plots. Forget car scenes with these movies (IMO)

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
