This "find" is quite old. Back when the movie came out, Civic and Integra fans (ones that had never sat in an S2000) knew that one shot during the "Race Wars" scene wasn't an S2000.

I'd assume the car was changed for that one quick shot for lighting. The S2000 cockpit with the soft top up is too dark to get good detail, and at the same time, it's too hard to hide lighting in the small cockpit to light up the inside.

Funny though, even though its an old find, its gone without me noticing it all this time and i've watched that movie a few times. Just goes to show what movies must routinely get away with

^^^ It's definitely not an S2000 because our A-pillars are black, and I think the headrest in the picture is too short/fat where our's is pointer. And I don't see roll bars.

Yeah, I had a feeling it was an old find, but I just realized it today.
Rick Yune did a good job - definitely my favorite character in that movie HAHA...
I always thought "2SOONJR" would be a sweet licecse plate, but for an 18 y/o, people might take it as "spoiled bitch getting a sports car too young"...

Glad you all enjoy!

Interesting. Never noticed that.

Definitely not an S2000 in that shot.

And pay attention to 2 Fast 2 Furious's Eclipse. They used my friend's WRX's exhaust soundclip for that Mitsu.

Luder who the hell is MIGS?

QUOTE (migs)
Does both REAL and REPLICA both serve the same purpose. I am inclined to believe that they offer very close benefits to one another. Why would I choose a REPLICA or REAL over another. Its simple.

The answer is preference. You are probably going to respond, (q) How can you justify the price difference. (a) I can. (and thats all that matters!)



^That is friggin hilarious!

Migs is an ITR owner form Honda-Tech. He's quite elegant in some of the Mugen vs. replica debates that are had on H-T.com.

lol. When this movie first came out, my friend actually met Vin Diesel at a dealership promo and got a chance to talk to him. He told my friend that the guy playing as johnny tran and some other cast members had no idea on how to drive stick. He said the guy broke 2 trasmissions when filming the movie. So that prolly explains why hes not in an s2k. They threw him in a civic/integra and did quick shots of him to make it seem like it. Good observation!
