Don’t let this video distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three Honda civics with spoon engines, and on top of that, he just went into Harry’s and bought three t66 turbos with nos, and a motec exhaust system. 👀

The first heist scene was the best shit in the world I remember watching this movie in the theaters and the whole crowd gasped laughed & started clapping when the black civic coupe went under that trailer

It would be fun to replicate those 3 Civics. Get some friends to drive the other 2, And pull up on all 3 of them to a local car meet, And see everyone's reaction

Surprise those Civic’s did not have “Motec System Exhaust!”

I remember making clones of the F&F cars on Need for Speed Underground back in the day lol!

No joke when this movie first out I went to the theaters 5 times in a row I was driving a 92 Honda civic hatchback I felt like a million bucks back than....now on almost 40 years old have kids and drive a minivan lol!

The disrespect of Hectors 3 Spoon Civics with T66 Turbo's.

I always heard a rumor they were stock d16z6s with a Greddy d-series turbo kit but when he said they only used a 50$ fart cannon it broke my heart lol

Love this authentic content about the movies thanks👊🏽

My first car ever was a 95’ Civic Dx coupe and yes it was black. Bought 17” chrome wheels and whole car got stolen two weeks later 😒😂 .. Awwww memories 😊🤗

The green neon is essential for a heist car. It helps you blend in the traffic at night, LOL! Joking aside, great video and thank you for sharing! :) I love your car stories.

Not disappointed. That's all part of Hollywood magic. Makes the movie even better when watching again. Very interesting vid.

Craig, I just got a 2014 5.0 with 23,000 miles. I’m 21, and it’s people like you and what you did with the franchise that got me into cars! Love the videos!

first thing that caught me was the exhaust note when the 3 Civics first appeared. Was only let down by the blow off valve sound as I was expecting them to be NA tuned. The 3 Civics hunted and highjacked the trailer like a pack of raptors.

The shop I worked for during the time of the auction, ended up with two of the civics and two MR2 spiders. We used them as showroom and parking lot eye candy. The widebody MR2s were yellow, and the other was silver. I dont much about the yellow car other than it stayed at another store location. The silver was in the showroom at my location. They were sold off after about a year. The silver ended up with a blown engine quickly after we sold it. Yellow car I have no clue. The civics.... We had the car that ended up orange, and I think the other was light blue. The blue car stayed at the location with the yellow MR2. I don't know much about those two. But the orange civic we kept in the parking lot. It was an actual good running car, and we would use it as a hotshot for parts and take it for lunch breaks. It was driven almost every day and was put in the showroom after the A/C clapped out and, the silver MR2 was sold. After only a couple months the same guy who bought and the silver car also made an offer on the orange car. And he also bout it. Sadly that car would be seen on the 5pm new on HWY49 south. It had been smashed at an intersection. News said he was hauling ass, ran a red light. I'm not sure about the guy. Last I knew, he was airlifted from the scene in critical condition. I believe he lived tho. I'm sure I would've heard if he died. I know it's not a lot of info, but you can document at least knowing where those 4 cars ended up.

Crazy to think that they were the first iconic cars that everyone remembers when you think of the f&f franchise and yet they have disappeared with no trace.....one day hopefully someone will find one.

Thanking for deep driving into one of the most influential movies of my teenage years

I owned the gold civic @6:06 i bought it for $2,500. The dealer i got it at had a few civics used in 2 fast 2 furious a red eclipse 3. All were sold or later junked.

I remember customizing the Civic in Need For Speed Underground/ Underground 2 to match the heist Civic :')

NOW THEY ARE CONSIDERED TO BE AS RICERS.

My cousin lived in Hemet during the filming of the hijacking scene, and we were all really into Street tuning at that time, it was always fun to drive down that road and see where everything took place. Sure do miss those days.

I think the best part about the Civics is that your average civic these days is like, under 5 grand? Usually? Not always in the best condition but if you want a Civic from the movie you can replicate they are so easy to find. It's just they're so old these days it'll probably be a fixer upper job, but a hell of a fun one. I'm saving my money right now and buying one to replicate when I can.

Nice video as always Craig. Been waiting for this one

But.. But.... Hector bought spoon engines and T66 turbos! Jk love your videos as always, keep it up👍

Throw the Vins up on VinWIKI and lets find them!!! @vinwiki

And no "Mashamoto ZX Tyres" :c

I do have to say, I agreed with a statement you made Craig in your earlier video about how the movies have kind of strayed from the original F&F. I understand the fact that each movie has been bigger and badder than the one before it but I wish the franchise would go back to its roots. Because sometimes its the simpler things that make the bigger impact and mean the most. Yes the first F&F had allot of things that were laughable with the tech talk and some of the scenes didn't make sense like the floor board flying off. But the movie was still grounded in a way that wasn't over the top and you could actually see something like it possibly happening in real life. But the movies as of late just keep getting further and further from any realm of reality. I honestly believe if F&F went back to its roots, where it all began, grounded and set around what the car scene is today as compared to what it was 20 years ago, then it would make more of an impact than any over the top almost super hero level movie ever could. I can't tell you how many car enthusiasts I've talked to at car meets and car shows all over that have said they would love to see F&F go back to something more simple like the first movie. And that they haven't even seen the newer ones because they are way too far fetched. The original was almost like a movie that was based around a car culture that had never been in the spotlight. It felt we were finally getting recognition for all the hard work people do with their cars to show the freedom of expression and the talent of those owners, the imagination of the human mind and the dedication to the art whether it be looks, performance, or both. And though like I said some of the tech talk and scenes were a bit wrong, it was still close enough to feel as though yeah some of us make mistakes like with street racing, but the most important thing is that 95% of us are like a family, and we stick together through the best and worst, and we come together with a common passion, cars. What was done with F&F 1 was ground breaking and is amazing to me and many others to this day. I and many others just wish the franchise and the characters would go back to that somehow. Back to the roots. Now lets take a moment to thank the car gods. :-) I know I am, I take delivery of a new 2015 Civic Si Tuesday. hehehe Big plans.

"Yo Dom, why'd you bring the buster back?" " Because the buster kept me out of handcuffs!!!!!"

The sickest Civics I’ve ever seen in my life, tbh.

just realized i have watched 2 hours of your videos straight !! haha amazing insight !!

I remember when this movie came out in theaters. We lined up on the street directly out of the theater parking lot in long beach Ca. Spawned an entire new generation of tuners and street racers. It's a shame that magic doesn't exist in this series anymore. R.I.P Buster.

I’ve always wanted to clone the three civics and then go out on a drive with my friends to try and get some reactions out of people. Make truckers nervous for a second.

Johnnny tran s2000 video highly requested plz ;D tnx

Those 3 civic's is what got me into hondas. 19 years later, still rolling in a 93 civic.

What’s funny is if one of those Civics did turn up - good chance it would be a DX with automatic. A car a tuner wouldn’t want anyways. And if restored and shown at car shows, lots of people would be disappointed by the stock DX engine, trans, and lack of actual high performance mods. Awesome video - thanks!!

Although I didn't end up with the same year - those black civics fueled my love for not only the tuner scene and cars from the release of this movie until now..but they inspired me to create my youtube channel and document my builds! Thanks for all these videos Craig keep em comin!!!!

Thanks Craig, love these stories, and all your efforts at preserving the history of the franchise, you're definitely appreciated my friend! Rest in Peace Paul, we all miss you!

These are the unsung heroes of the franchise. Nobody could’ve afforded supras and skylines

Those civics will live on forever on film and in our memories. When the first film came out I HATED imports. Mostly because all the rich kids in high school drove modded civics paid for by mommy and daddy. But after watching this movie I changed my opinion on them. My first import was a 97 Jetta 2.0 I modded it and have had imports mostly from then on. I want to buy an old civic like the ones in the film one day and do a proper rebuild on it. Great video.

Cars from the movie sold for $1k-$3k and most of the people probably didnt really care they were from the movie...I haven't heard something that sad in a long time

Man I love how new this content is

Super cool video! If you hate on Honda’s your not a true car enthusiast... they can absolutely be competitive.. anyone can be fast with a v8.. it takes real tuning and proper work to make a 4 banger quick. Thumbs up

Thanks for sharing man! I still remember everyone burning out of the parking lot leaving the movie theater! Oh.. the memories! It's what really got me started loving imports. Hate I sold my 89 Si Prelude.. didn't know what I had.

You had me at "Whoever your doing it with" 😂

Glad I found your videos, I'm a huge fan of F&F and the inside Intel you give makes it so interesting to watch !

My wife snagged me a copy of your book for our anniversary. Just wanted to say I've really been enjoying it, and the content you put out on this channel.

Street's closed pizza boy!! Find another way home!! Goddamn street racers.. That was this guy as the pizza man lol

Craig, great video. You should list all the VINs on VINWIKI with history just incase they ever pop up again. Do you think they will every use a 92-95 civic on future movies?

Love it. I know for a fact that the car engines were from other cars because my buddy Ronnie’s civic was used for sound effects used in the film. I believe it was done near the LACR or in the middle of the Antelope Valley.

Those civics were awsome! 👍👌😎

These movies had a big impact on me, and these civics were some of my favorite

Thank you for doing this video Craig. I know they were low spec but they are still my all time favourite F&F car

I hope you've got a lot of content cause this channel is gonna explode, love the channel

I love Fast and Furious you are the reason I love tuners today lol. Im a huge fan of the movie. There was some cool cars in this movie and my favorite car was Letty Burgundy 240sx.

Finally someone who isnt ignorant! Good video

Those black civics are the reason I love EG until today. When the move came out, I was 11 y/o, played GT2 and my favourite car was Evo 6 but then when I saw the movie, those EG has different vibes from normal EG I've seen on the street.

Great video! You answered all the questions I ever had about those scenes

Hey I'm a fourteen-year-old new-found car guy and you know it's relieving to finally see one of my favorite movie cars that I can actually make on a relatively cheap budget I'm actually going to try and do this by the time I'm 18 wish me luck people

Craig I'm finally getting my dream done, at least one of them... I'm building one heist civic replica here in the UK Managed to find the dual deck wing but can't find the rims as you say in the video. Thanks to you, we all addicted to cars now!

If Craig still has the VIN's, it would be nice to see whatever Carfax or DMV Records he has of them and post them online, and maybe be surprised one car might still exist somewhere waiting to be found and restored.

I sae this in the theaters when it first came. I remember how people clapped and cheered through out the movie and how it got everyone hyped up! We all hit the streets after, itching to race!😆 I had Mitsubishi Station 2.6 turbo, man I had fun! Everyone street racing after watching the movie made headline news everywhere.

I have a black 1999 Honda Civic DX coupe. I have modeled my car after these heist Civics. I have the ViS Racing GT Bomber body kit, and the Veilside style Kombat dual deck universal spoiler. I also have the green neon under glow lights. I don't think Axis makes the Neo wheels anymore, so I had to settle for a close look alike, the Enkei RPF1 wheels. The only thing I've done under the hood is added a K&N cold air intake, nothing else. I have black tinted windows. I also have a NRG quick disconnect steering wheel hub and steering wheel. I also have a car alarm. I'm saving up my money to do a B18 VTEC engine swap, but that will be awhile. I'd like to get the exact exhaust that is in the movie, but I have no idea which one they used. Everyone and their mom tries to race me, but it's only a weak 4-cylinder stock engine (sad face), so I don't race, just for show. No one understands and I get clowned on, but I don't care because I love the first Fast & The Furious movie. If anyone has any suggestions on which muffler/exhaust that looks most like the movie, please let me know! Thank you for making this video! I really do love and appreciate it. You don't know how long I've been searching for this information! I'd also like to replicate the Eclipse and the Supra if I can ever afford it. Probably never afford it (sad face).

I remember when this movie first came out. I actually got hold of a bootleg of it months before, which had no sound effects, music or visual effects yet added. So it was funny watching like the party scene in the desert but no music lol. I was lucky enough to win a pass to the premiere screening of it 2 weeks before general release, so I knew the whole movie going into it but was blown away by the finished product. Its always awesome to see what goes into these movies, never would have thought it was going to blow up like it did to the largest franchise in Hollywood!

$50 Ebay Muffler? The Stunt Driver And Editor Worst Nightmare

Crazy enough this was my favorite car. My "beta ark" scooter was inspired on the civic

What about the Fork Engines, I mean spoon engine 🤔🤔

These were my favorites. Of the Tuners. There is no replacement for the Charger.

You know this footage is legit, when the original name Redline was used. I got to be on set for a day it was awesome

Those civics were my favorite, I was 5 when the movie came out... my dad had one at that time, then another, then another one, then another, 19 years later im running my 11th civic... cheap fun

This is way better than the book and social media posts! Straight to the point!

any one else owned a black one just becuse of the movie ? i had a forged piston and rod one with a 59300 comp cam and a 50 trim turbo ,to me thats how I allways imagined they where set up in the movie

Man i love the body kits on these civics, 6 year old me was in love with the aggressive look!

Just got a 95 Civic just to make it like these cars! Loved them as a kid. Engine mods...well i’ll just make it what I thought they should have 🤣

The black heist Civics are my favorite FnF car.

I was 2 years old. I was in love with the movie. I had the original model cars when the movies came out

You just got to love a black high winged Civic Coupe with stainless exhaust and green neon.

Back in 2001 I asked on the forums how do I make my car sound like the civics from fast and the furious

When this movie came out I was just entering high school and I was already into cars. The Fast and the Furious movie just exploded my love for the automotive world. I'm more into motorcycles now but every vehicle that I have owned has been modified in some way. My love for automobiles will never die.

this movie is one of my all time favorites and had such an impact on me, I cannot thank you enough for this content. I've been waiting so long for something like this, I thought I would never see it!

Those were by far the only civics I'd buy, very Beasty

Craig thanks for the inside of the movie never knew that put this much time and effort and money to build these cars for this movie wow

I Will never forget The Sinister wolf pack of 94 Black Civic coupes with green neon underglow and limo tented windows & chrome rims shinning like mirrors in fact that's the first tuner ever drive under a modified Simi on film this was way before CGI was ever involved those Civics running in a pack was something never before seen until that moment those cars set the tone for the rest of the movie I loved that first seen of the 1st movie when thay came roaring up playing lap frog at very high speed it was the most Awesome thing I ever saw now of course there are plenty of fast cars and beautiful seens but none had the power to stun a entire crowd of movie goers like those sinster Civics did ....Long live Jessie

This is awesome. Not that bs CGI we get nowadays. This is so genuine.

Love these civics, I'd love to modify one to a movie condition replica.

Loving these small personal experience documentaries. Keep'em coming Craig!

Yooo I remember watching the 2fast 2furious bonus features and you fixed up a maroon evo

The yellow escape scene civic has resurfaced, the guy who has the hero Integra now has it

Since the movie wanted a civic. Finally got me a 97 ex in October 21' lol. Honest the most fun to drive.

I’ve always wondered about these things! So awesome to finally learn about all this stuff after all these years. Thanks for these videos!

Great video and info as always Craig! Thanks a ton for putting these out for us!

Wait...so Hector never ran the three Honda Civics with Spoon engines, and on top of that, He just went into Harry's and ordered THREE T66 Turbos, with NOS. And a MoTec System Exhaust?

Love your channel and learning about these sweet iconic cars... :)

Hector in the movies - Hey holmez I'll take three spoon engine, motec system exhaust and t66 turbos essé Hector in real life - Hey holmez give me that rice wing, blinking lights and $50 Fart cannon, nobody can tell the difference anyways

I want my first project car to be a 1999 or 1995 Honda Civic simply because of the first movie.

Fun fact : the movie vacation in the 80s was the first to do the car driving under the trailer stunt

Very cool. Thanks for sharing the information!

There’s a guy that lives in my hometown that actually bought the 3 civics and he had the 240 also. I got to sit in the one with the massive rollcage. His daughter use to work for my family.

What!!!!!! So no spoon engines......No T66 turbos??????. No NOS?????? And no Motec exhaust???????

Literally one of my favorite parts was when he pulls the U turn and peels out!

Lol I had Axis Neos on my 97 Altima when the movie came out. White accents though not gold. I loved those wheels.
