Double clutch??? What's that?

[Todd]

hahah, well i guess he did buy one.. i bet he still doesnt know shit about it though :thumbs up

 

[x007den]

i knew i saw it on tv. its black if i remember correctly

edit: i just gotta do this:

then someone lied to you dude. Those guys couldnt tell the difference between a DOHC engine and a SOHC engine.

the skyline spoke of was the skyline that paul walker drove in the movie. he doesnt own a car and has no mechanical knowledge as of a year ago... i doubt much has changed in the meantime

wnded: just cause he might not know about it doesn't mean he can't own one

 

[Todd]

but he deserves it... the movies are responsible for allot fo the backing in the sport compact community and it has turned allot of people onto it

 

[hadjie85]

thx for the info baldy,

and no, lol, i dont look at F&F as a technical masterpiece, i realize it was all stunts. and BS. a lotta BS. i was just curious about the term. and now its funny to remember the context it was used in, diesel was referring to the straight line drag theyd just ran.....no turns...... good grief :roll:

ya vin diesel's an idiot. i heard him on tv one time sayin he hates cars. hes a punk. dont know too much about paul walker or what he drives, but if he owns a skyline he must know something.......PREZ lol.... congrats on your filthy ownage 007!!!

 

[iluvitr]

who cares if he doesnt know anything about cars. He still has a kick ass car.

 

[DownShift96GSR]

Damn, ya'll got owned hard. I figured he owned one. After being in the movie with one and having a shit load of money to spend, i'd buy one. And another thing, they should know about the car. Think about it, he's in a movie with a JAPAN only car. I'd ask questions about it, i'd want to know what makes it so special. Its normal curiosity (sp?)

 

[Todd]

eh, i'd call it more of a correction than ownage.... if you want examples of ownage i could show you guys quite a few

 

[x007den]

eh, i'd call it more of a correction than ownage....

[Todd]

I hope he doesn't learn (or try to learn) sh*t about the lifestyle 'cause then--'op another poor GTR get's riced the f*ck out. There are ups and down's to "the movie" coming out, but IMO, I still wished it never came out.

 

[Todd]

i own both of them on DVD :mrgreen:

dude, he was an actor in a movie. what in the world tells u hes going to rice it out? did u even bother reading the article i posted?

The majority of people who want to get into "the lifestyle" a after seeing "the movie" (READ: don't know the difference between a DOHC and a SOHC) rice the f*ck out their cars, it's not even funny. Posuers. They go out thinkin' they're all badasses flossing 'tezza's and trunk-mount benches "racing" from stoplight to stoplight; gives sport compacts a real good image. Though, most of the people you meet on the boards really know their stuff (or at least claim to) take a look around and you'll know that ain't always the way it is. Think about it man, before--the majority of cars were actually decent. After "the movie" bad taste popped out everywhere. And you can bet a good majority of them don't know the first thing about cars. It takes a few laughs and a lot of crying, wining and ass whoopin' to set them straight. And you know what? I wounldn't be surprised if someone who ground the gears smooth on an orange Bomex Supra rices out his first "real car."

Did you yourself not read the article you posted? Having money has nothing to do with having the knowledge to actually turn a bolt, much less fix up a car. Nowhere in the article is it stated that "Brian" himself even did any of the work on the car. He simply hired the Motorex chief to do the work for him. I guess if you got the money, you can drive whatever you want. Let's just hope "F&F graphics" aren't next on his list of mods.

Maybe, he won't rice it out. Make the world a better place. Not all people who are a fan of "the movie" become or are ricers. I actually like the second part but the race scenes are "eh" compared to the first. But it has attracted more attention than most of us would have liked. And still don't know why did RJ or Craig would let so much incorrect terms and scenes slip into the movie.

dont make fun of me...but someone mentioned 'speed shifting'....does that just mean shifting quickly or is it a technique...kinda like double clutching, but just for accelerating, instead of downshifting?.....

I'm curious about this too, is it just slamming the gears or what?

Also, Paul Walker probably knows a little something about cars. He has the driving skill of that damn near a professional driver. I mean he probably has some kind of training in driving and so there are certain things about a car that one must learn in order to drive the best they can.
