I had never ever EVER even noticed after so many times of seeing this movie that the decal of the squares was the same car itself... Wow

"That's the Brian O'Conner school of driving right there, baby!" RIP Paul Walker

The warehouse scramble might be worth a video on it's own, that scene must've been a logistical nightmare...

Oddly enough Tyrese’s Eclipse faded away faster than his music career

When I bought my Evo, the dealer gave me a DVD of the movie that featured the Evo. This car is still my daily driver. It's a classic and has become highly sought-after.

I heard the evo came with a gps that was spiderwebbed into all the engine components.

I'm not going to lie, this Evo 7 was the car that got me into loving Evos. I would never install neon, change the stock wing or use such a flamboyant paint job on mine, but this still holds a place in my heart!

I never realized the graphics on the evo were images of the car lol.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THESE VLOGS!! Please do DOMS MAZDA RX~7 FD

super interesting to see the behind the scenes footage.

My Favorite Car, I love Lancer Evolution as a kid and now I own a Lancer Evolution X GSR.

I think this Evo is really underrated. Everyone is talking about the Skyline but give this Evo some respect too, that car is one of the best.

Craig, Thats a big difference in narration & editing. Big props your videos are getting alot better!

Your 2002 m3 is for sale on eBay right this very moment (auction). You have very good taste in custom modification, would love to see you break down some of your build sometime!

It's got the self-repairing front bumper package!

His birthday is tomorrow and I'm glad you uploaded this today! Awesome tribute.. I hope this gets to a mil views

Darn, I read articles that the EVO's were stock versions of the Lancers rally editions and RWD conversions.

My mind was just blown that the side graphics are of the car itself 😱🤯🤯🤯

I was amazed at how the frontend of the car heldup after crashing through the gate at the boatyard...

Thank you for the series. I would also love to hear about your other vehicles that did not make it into Fast and Furious.

Thanks for sharing Craig! I still remember meeting you at HIN Chicago back in the day with my friend John. Pulling his Kaiser Silver Veilside MR2 Spyder into the Meguiers booth, and how the car ended up in parts of the 2nd film (HoC Blue). First film is still my favorite and parts of it reflect early days of the import scene. Fun times for sure!

I was fortunate to see Hero 2 at the Philly Auto Show a couple times. When I first saw it I was concerned about it's legitimacy as a "screen-used" car but this put my doubts to rest. Awesome!

Thanks for the video, i can really appreciate these cars and the work that is put into them, your input and videos. Thanks again.

Man I had watched this movie years ago and at that time I went crazy when Brian went 180 by driving evo in reverse. Thanks for revealing the truth. I still love this car and enjoy all car scenes of the movie.

Very glad you made this video, as a die hard mitsu fan I always had questions about the 2f2f Evo, which were pretty much all answered in the vid, thank you!

8:06 - 8:17 I KNEW IT!!! All these years since first watching this movie, it always nagged at me that the evo in this movie never sounded like an actual 4G63-T. No matter how many meets I went to, no mater how many exhaust systems I listened to live or on old youtube (circa 2006-2011), it just never added up. But one day I overheard an S2000 flying past, and somehow I was reminded of this moment. I looked up in-car sounds (again on youtube), and there it was. That elusive sound that had aggravated me for so long finally had a name to go with it. I've been right about a few things before; but this.... this puts a smile on my face.

Hey Buddy, One of Tylers friend from Oklahoma. Found your channel and love it!! Keep it up!!!

Well done sir, thanks for the additional information. I knew Mitsubishi had helped but nice of them to go the extra mile. Great story telling BTW, the way you read it was spot on...here today, done tomorrow. I remember all the SoCal DSM members getting amped up about the EVO’s release. Ironically ended up working at a Mitsubishi dealership not long after it did come to the states, as many probably remember, you couldn’t test drive it...it was buy it or leave it. Only a few select employees were allowed to move or transport them, but I drove everything else on the lot. 😉

Thank you for making these Craig, ive been a life long fan

These kinda videos from you are so informative, keep'em up!!!

Thanks for sharing your videos have inspired i think I'm gonna go back to school learn body and keep watching your videos

Thanks for adding the additional information about the SRT4! I know it wasn't the prettiest car or had the pedigree of a high performance car, but I think it's more than proved its worth by all the races and awards it's won!

Hero 2 sits in the showroom of LRA Auto Museum in Bristol, PA

Nice! I love your videos..! I have seen the one that was sold to Norway. It was displayed at "oslo motorshow" a few years ago.

I remember in the mid 2000s when i started driving, every ricer type car and even some mustangs had the clear styled taillights added. Watching these videos brings back memories of my youth even though i never watched(to this day) any of the fast and furious movies.

I love listening to these stories. I like this guy too with how knowledgable and honest he is.

Craig you deserve so many more followers!! Your stories and knowledge are amazing!

Thanks for clearing up the situation with the taillights. Not knowing if actual Evo's were used really had me confused since I saw the movie.

Always great to see your iconic vehicles again, as have the model two fast too furious and lit with blue leds with the same model size evo, both painted in the film liveries

Keep making videos So happy that I found this channel

Now im happy. So many answered questions. These vids are awesome!!!

That scene with the Rasta guy crossing the road is golden.... #mibumbuhclaat...

Thank you so much for this video! The Evo 7 is one of my favourite cars from the F&F series and I think one of the very few that isn't destroyed. My theory on what happened to it in the film is after the whole ordeal is over, both the Evo and Eclipse were returned to the police.

Craig please if you can, cover some of the muscle cars featured in the franchise. Personally I'd like to hear about the Monte Carlo from Tokyo drift, and the Chevelle from F&F 2009

Your decision on getting an Evo rather than an SRT made me choose my future car when I was a kid. Now I have an EVO IX MR for the last 4 years and I really don't know how to thank you. Great taste, great approache and great knowledge on cars ! Thanks a lot.

I remember the hero 2 car at a car show event here in Maryland at MIR (nopi I believe). Had the lower front bumper damage from the pole at the boat yard. Also during the barrel race, the gtr pedals are shown in one of the clips when paul is shifting

5:35 They didn’t have NOS, they had a hyperdrive

Happy birthday PW! ♥ Thanks Craig for these videos!

Great video. You did a great job picking out cars. Thank goodness you pushed for them to use that skyline instead of a Srt4. You know how not good that would have been if Brian pulled up in a Srt4....... maaaan that skyline made an unforgettable appearance.

Love the vids keep it up pimp!!

Thanks fo the explanation on those tail lights. Have wondered about that since 2003!

Hahah used suby sounds for the evo n editing luv it

Awesome brother love the stories behind the cars.. cant wait to see more :) :D

Hey craig! Love the vids! How the heck do you remember all these details? Crazy good memory?

Great video again! Would like to hear about s2000 from first movie.

Honestly one of my favorite cars of the series, topped only by Leon's R33. Dunno what it is about the car, it's just so cool looking especially with the blue lights against the green/gold candy paint. Plus the Evo 7 itself is such a crisp design, the bodykit only enhanced the look and honestly it made me use the Evo in many racing games as a kid lol. And of course, I had no idea Lancer tailights were used on an Evo, that's some clever attention to detail you did to pull off that look so well

Whenever you upload it makes my day, thanks craig

Please don’t ever stop making these. It’s so damn fascinating and interesting

Underrated channel. Criminally underrated

You’ve inspired me from day one with the franchise

I can watch these behind scenes videos for days so cool to see what goes on behind the scenes well done to you all you are all a part to my motorsport fetish

the gate scen at 7:44 is a real goof. in that shot you will see the bumper get smashed but later when they stop in the impound for carters f355 the front is all new again, not a scratch.

I love all of the videos Craig, it's a very interesting behind the scenes look that we don't usually get for many movies. One criticism I would like to make is that the fade-to-white transitions are painful to the eyes and make the video very hard to watch. I'm not a video editor or creatively inclined so unfortunately I can't give you any alternative suggestions, but even a simple swipe left/right would work without blinding the viewers

if you are not already planning on it, you should do a segment on the Saleen Mustang, Corvette vert and painted yellow Viper. Love the detail and content.

Nicely done

Man love these videos!! Im a Big fast and furious fan, and love the cars from the first movies! These videos helps me so much making replicas in my forza horizon 4 game 😎

Hi Craig, Just wanted to tell you how much ive enjoyed your youtube channel! I appreciate you taking the time to share all of this super interesting detail and your experiences!

Love these vids

Thank you!!!

Always been my favourite car from the franchise

Thanks for the video Craig! I always wonderd why is the neon light bar in the front of the car crooked?

Your work was awesome especially SUPRA customization, you need to build more of these cars for the new fast and furious!

Do more of these man

Amazing video ! The french owner of the Evo is "Movie Cars Central", he owns lots of cinema cars 👍

Thanks Craig

When I first saw this movie, I was 13 years old and since then I fell in love with the Evo. I remember people used to say the Eclipse was better because it came out years earlier and were more familiar with, NOT KNOWING IT HAD THE SAME ENGINE. This was middle school years, we didn't know much about cars, of course. But I was disappointed this 3rd Gen Eclipse didn't keep the 4G engine. I can understand they featured it because it was a new car at the time.

7:38 lol he looked at the seat😄 And not to mention invisible handbrake.

That gate crashing seen always hurt my heart lol I knew I saw that bumper get crushed

Big Thank You, Craig! I have been arguing and arguing about the Mitsubishi being EVO VII, not a Lancer. So cool, You revealed the truth about rear quarter panels!

Thank you for such nice vlog documentaries on one of my most favorite movies in the tuner scenes. I never owned an EVO or drove one but I'm a proud owner of a 3000GT VR4 AWD Twin Turbo and now a 2019 Eclipse Cross daily driver. One day however I might own an EVO X.

at race wars is craig the guy who drops the arms in the race with jessie and the sk2? strangely looks like him lol

8:13 is this why romans eclipse in 2F2F sounds a lot like a Subaru?

Hey Craig. Hopefully you see this message. I actuallu went to Universal Studios in Orlando as a kid and they had the purple eclipse and also the Evo. I have a pic next to them if you care to see it

I found a really old magazine that featured 0-60 and 1/4 mile times of actual cars used in 2F2F. I remember it saying this evo ran bad and the set used an entire can of gum out to make it run. It still only posted mid 7’s to 60. I wish I still had the article. I threw it out moving about 2 years ago.

🌴Wow & Wow ya know you are hitting a home run with me in staying on top of stuff makes a big difference that provides super awesome opportunities that I always look for all the time. "Remarkable work & an extraordinary effort". I do stay focused very focused & I wonder if had the opportunity what ideas you may have in comparison to what I know already with a ongoing continued effort.I hope you are truly benefiting from your efforts in Fast & Furious the cars are... Epic you da man.I am a Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T fan now it's an suv what a difference.Also I would like to add the GMC Typon was an awesome ride & was actually in Lethal Weapon 3 when Rodge, Danny Glover's character was selling his house ya know it's nice seeing unique cars in movies & I hope they get more screen time in movies to come.🌯 I'd still pick up an Mitsubishi MR that car has not faded with me their just as fast as a Lamborghini straight from the factory & without a doubt faster & better in traffic.🌭

Very nice, please do the 3 muscle cars from fast 1 and 2

LMAO TYC!!! That's a throwback!! And don't forget APC, The originators of the Altezza style knockoff tail light. Those things were on every single car it seemed back then and I always hated them. Pep Boys shelves used to be covered with them bitd.

Loving it!

"Yeeeaah, Rome! How do you like dem Apples?!"

8:13 i knew it !! sounds like VTEC mix with wrx sti lolz

Love this channel

7:00 my film teacher in highschool said he was in one of those hotels on that route creeping at yall during filming.

My Evo 7 is still one of my fav cars to drive. The stroked 2.2 4g63 is making only 590 wheel but the torque curve is super flat, full boost at 3200rpm and it pulls great to red line. My 900 wheel EvoX and my 97 Supra making 1170 wheel on E85 are fun to drive and the supra deff pulls the attention but nothing i have ever owned is as fun to drive as the VII. We building a R33 night now that is mine and hubbies. The build is planned to make right at 800 wheel (2.8 RB26) and do so with great reliability and very drivable. We will prolly run a street tune that's about 600 wheel and gonna be really responsive and not peaky at all and for highway pulls a tune that's around 800 wheel and maybe even run a really hot tune with meth injection. Not sure yet on how the tunes will be final but 600 wheel is plenty for daily driving and 800 for hard pulls with a much more peaky less drivable highway pull tune. If it's even close to as fun as the VII i will be in heaven.

The new intro is awesome I like it!

0:10 Um Chevette brabo, já valeu o vídeo 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Can’t unsee the decal now.

Love the evo platform, having owned two evo 9s i can say i really enjoyed them!

These are great

I remember back in 2006-2007 South Coast Mitsubishi in Costa Mesa, CA had the boat yard gate crash Evo 7 on their showroom floor. I remember the sales guy stating it belonged to the owner of the dealership and couldn’t be driven on the road as it wasn’t USA legal. No idea if it’s still there or owned by the same person today.

After the 1st movie, I didn't really like any of the others. Your videos however, are awesome and so addictive. THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge
