Now THATs an investment. Signed by Pol Wolker himself. Owned by Frankie Muniz apparently....

It's actually a pretty cool looking car, if it had smaller wheels and more low

call fake....

 

the real one had invisible brake calipers

Image result for fast and furious jetta no brake calipers

 

 

some-one is trying to make a nice profit on it tho

Yeah someone brought up the brakes thing.... Who da f**k knows.

I still don't get the supra thing.... I know the guy who bought Aarons old wide body shell. Gearbox and motor will set him back more than the the body and a full restoration will.

so the OEM brakes on it were too small so they put one of those fake big brake covers on it to hide the tiny ones.

some-one (smartly) removed it at some stage

 

so yeah it is the real car, it's just of all the cars in the show that prob the lease attractive to own, 2l NA auto....

At the time of the movie though, all the Leroy types were fawning over it cause the JDM was too mainstream

Safe to say a combination of rarity / collectable and those movies are responsible for JDM sky high prices. No surprise that the vehicles with the most gained from it are those featured as heroes in the movie...34R, Supra and RX-7. S2000 has also seen a good comeback on pricing. Then again, Jap classics like Hakosuka, RX3, VL Commodore and 2000GT did it just fine without movie power behind them.

Apparently S2000s are front wheel drive ?

I do agree with them about it being nicer back in the day when a dramatic scene didn't involve crossing buildings in a car and the excitement came from who would win a race and who was cutting who's tuna lunch

If the script was smart enough someone would have commented on the booty call but instead we got "burger and fires for 2.95"

 

Am I still a Leroy type? I stanced out the Gloria last weekend. Didn't even get many efames :(

Not enough filter.

That’s why.

The wraps only come in one size... So I guess anyone that doesn't like wraps and gets embarrassed ordering a footlong?

Speaking of footlong... Might try to get a massive weiner in me this weekend. Chapel St is shit, but I'll make the effort for a giant hotdog

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
