Nick Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Pure Hollywood rubbish with cars styled by a crack head. Not my thing really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibbleyuk Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 At the time i was 15 and i loved it! I still like the styling now i have a bomex waiting to go on mine I think all the replicas that people have made have spoiled it. Its a cool car.

Guest StevenSheen Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Was the thing that reignited my interest in Supras Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico2006 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I dont get that one............firstly it wasnt someone elses car, and secondly how could a newer one be cheaper ? It was a street racers car used for the film - they insisted on a few mods to get it to the studios spec - theres an excelletn book they used to sell in Halfrauds, 'The Cars of F&F' which has full specs on all the cars, the builds, the stunts etc. Worth a read ( i keep it by the toilet ) The car was rented to Universal Studios by Craig Lieberman - it was bright green when it came into the studio. The only other change was the Graphics. The Poo brown Supra in 2F2F was one of the many orange stunt Hero Supras from the 1st film and was taken direct from the universal studio's warehouse for mods: quite a few of them in fact ( Turbo upgrade kit, fuel rail, injectors and Nitrous ) I love the film, watch it loads and its definately what got me into the Supra, sold my BMW Clubsport off on ebay the very next day to watching the film ( at a loss of some £13,000 ) just so i could own my very own. Sold it to Alex a few months later after picking up my first ban. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprafan72 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 If the car has 550hp how come it was neck and neck with the black 355.. It certainly didnt sound like it had a single on it... it sounded more like a NA.... I need Noooassss baby... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 The car was rented to Universal Studios by Craig Lieberman - it was bright green when it came into the studio. The only other change was the Graphics. I'm sure his car was Yellow prior to being Orange, with a stillen front and no mechano set on the rear.

michael Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 It was a turbo in the film 100% After the "rebuild" it was, the pic I posted above shows the burned out NA engine you see when it arrives. http://www.megaboost.co.uk/misc/fun/TFTF/05.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoff Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 The graphics are of their time and very Japanese. Im not a fan of lots of graphics but I think they ok in this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Great looking car in sunny california with cool young actors driving it around surrounded by stunning women, not so cool in rainy old Britain being driven my middle aged men with beer guts So true! It looks amazing in California and did a lot for the Supra scene. I doubt I would have wanted a Supra if it wasn’t for this film. I just imagined that scene in England, in the grey and drizzly weather, racing a Corsa nearly killing an innocent motorist, slowing for a speed camera and then pulling into the local trading estate McDonalds while some teens on scooters circle the car shouting do a burn out. It loses some of the appeal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 That certainly takes away some of the beauty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kslb Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Looked great on the film but saw a replica at japfest 3 or 4 years ago and wished I hadn't it kind of ruined it for me. It's a movie car, looks good on screen but a dissappointment in reality kind of like a movie star! If that car at japfest was anyones from here sorry but I am sure you have sorted it by now!

bodilx6 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Just like the film, i now have an NA............ H. Was it a N/A from build??? Do they actually say that or how do you figure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico2006 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 wreck on back of lorry was a NA. Bit of jiggery pokery and they replaced it with a TT Supra ( although it was a single ). All the stunt Supras were Turbo'd ( there were not any NA Supras / NA-T in the studio stunt lineup) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishman Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 i love the colour and the sound it makes, what more could you want?? a single turbo 6 speed aerotop , like people have said get rid of the graphics and get a nicer spoiler and it would be perfect.... i think the original owner was Craig Lieberman , and it was defo a turbo version... Spec. Engine Type: Inline-6, Turbocharged Displacement cu in (cc): 183 (2997) Power bhp (kW) at RPM: 544(400) / 6800 Torque lb-ft (Nm) at RPM: n.a.
