"Dude, I almost had you!" "Almost had me? You never had me. You never had a turbo!"

7:08 look what every first letter of each car spells 😂

So you're telling me the Eclipse did not have a NOS fogger system, a T4 turbo, an AIC controller, direct port nitrous injection, or a stand-alone fuel management system? :o

"Dude, I almost had you!"

You forgot the fact that these cars were equipped with a 20 speed manual transmission.

"You owe me a 10 second car". Yeah right, 0 to 60 in ten seconds maybe.

The RX7 would've taken the other 3 to gapplebees 😂

But don't forget, no matter what Danny had under the hood, Hector was running 3 Honda Civic's with Spoon engines and Motec exhausts

So, basically, the car mods and racing on F&F were like modern day wrestling: staged and faked for entertainment. Let me tell my 13 yr old self that

Craig, when 2F2F launched in DVD, I remember buying it and only watching the behind the scenes with you talking. I watched the movie once, but remember watching those videos about the cars over and over and over again, just like these videos you are posting! I just loved hearing you talk about cars, and all the little things about them. I learned a lot through you. Just wanted to let you know and thank you for fueling my passion for cars as a youngster and progressing to my adult life now!

Damnit Craig. Your hurting my youthful ignorance with your real life smarts

Knew the RX-7 would have destroyed them but I love watching these videos. All these years later and I'll never forget watching this for the first time. Absolute classic.

The floorboards lol. Was Dom Fred Flinstoning that shit when Brian picked him up?

I hope my son doesn't see this! I have him convinced that if he speeds in his EcoBoost Mustang, the floor pan will fall out.

Man if only that Eclipse was GST or GSX...still i felt in love with her,i was a kid when i first saw it and i didn't know what car was that,i searched in Gran Turismo till i find it,it was my dream car and now i own one since i was 16,i will never sell it

Also, a lot of people didn't realize that the drag race basically looped over at least four times if you noticed carefully, seeing the rx7 in the lead crossing the finish line each time. Yeah, I'm still scratching my head about that floor pan, and someone had mentioned in the comments one time about Dominic getting in the passenger side and not having his feet fall through the bottom. Thank you for the explaination of these videos, really interesting. And compliments to your car collection.

"Granny shifting not double clutching like you should!"

“0-60 wizzes by at 9 seconds” LOL

This is like learning santa and the Easter Bunny aren't real

Oh man, the JDM legends and classic muscle cars. People don’t quite remember that getting and keeping a 700+ horsepower Supra, RX7, Eclipse, Charger, basically anything back in the days was no cheaper than owning a Lambo. They were and still are great cars but we kind of overglorified them. A bit. On a side note. Those vinyls were pretty good looking but were given a bad name because of ricers.

So in other words Brian really never had his car...

Respect this dude who has created so many dreams in the hearts of us Car Guys!

Thank you for keeping the cool inside knowledge coming! Big time fan of your work Craig!

your clips are absolutely perfect! I really enjoy watching them! thank you for the Information which no one can find anywhere!

You explain everything the way it is, great video man

Mr. Lieberman, thank you for sharing all those videos on F&F background information! This is so much fun to watch, despite being disillusioned of so many things.

Love your videos! I really look forward to them! Thank you for keeping them honest to not only what happened in the "story" but what real life was or would have been! THANKS!

I love the great detail you go into with these videos. Great job. Keep up the good work.

Awesome info as always man, thanks for sharing it all with no bs

They still couldnt take Hector! 🏎💨

Thanks Craig! Love the video! Keep up the details!

Really enjoy the videos!!! Keep them coming, I’m always interested to see what you come up with next.

O love these videos thanks for sharing... F&f big fan from Portugal

It's been a while, Craig. Great story as always! Can't wait for the next one!

Thank you for all these videos, i grew up on these movies and they influenced me more than any other films ever.

Great Videos! Keep up the great work!!

Awesome video's keep going with this i love it. Thankyou!

Thanks for another interesting video Craig.

Love these videos keep them coming.

Was the PlayStation 2 actually installed in Yamato’s civic?

I'll always remember calling you out in gran turismo at nopi as a kiddie. And then you accepting and my pops never bringing me back lol. Still one of my car heroes nearly 24 years later!

What about that CGI scene of Rx7's motor. 20B and it rotates in wrong direction🤪

I lost it at “8 mile race” 😂

Thank you so much for he videos please keep them coming

You are a hero to me now Craig!!

I was just out of high school when this movie came out crazy how time flies and the car fads change lol I never ever put under glow on my 80 camaro 🤣

Another great video man!

It’s awesome to see all the specifics and behind the scenes stuff like this even so many years later. There may have been unrealistic moments from time to time, but for the most part they did very well considering most cars weren’t any powerhouses lol

Thank you so much for these videos I love the first fast movie I have the collectors edition on DVD and vhs

Danger to Manifold but then nuts and bolts fly out from under the dash. Most accurate and factual car movie, ever.

So basically the mazda 6 of my mom could have participated there too? NOICE

I used "Danger to manifold" as my overboost warning on my last 700hp 911 turbo build haha. Oh, and nitrous bottle pressure is reduced as it's used because the bottle cools down, so a sudden spike is very unlikely unless the heater overheated the bottle somehow.

I feel bamboozled! Next your gonna tell me Mia’s tunafish is actually good?!?🤔

I’ve already watched nearly twenty videos from This channel before work! Great content, and I’m not even a fan of the fast and furious, I just like cars. Keep up the good content!

Fun fact: the exact Civic you showed in the video at 5:34 is or was in the Dezer collection in Miami. I saw it there two years ago. I looked kind of rough so I'm not sure it was a hero car. There was also an RX7, Eclipse and Integra from the movie along with a lot of other movie cars, it's a collection definitely worth visiting. I believe the collection has since moved to a new facility in Orlando. Thanks for the videos, really enjoy them.

Great analysis and content. I remember when my son was 2 years old we would watch the "live my life a QTR mile at a time " race to beat the train at the end of Fast and Furious. We must have watched it 100 times and my son would say "watch again - I want to see the black car crash". Good times....Keep up the good work.

Great video as always :)

Still love this film, I was about 12 when it first came out and I saw it, and even back then on my first viewing, the one thing that always stood out as completely rediculous to me though is how there were so many cars lined up on the side during the drag race... There had to be like a thousand cars there!

I actually laughed at those scenes in the movie theater and you'd be surprised how many people were like what's so funny? Lol

Love your videos Even you crushed all my dreams

All I got to say is these movies were my childhood thank you for making this video I've always wondered who would win thank you thank you thank you

Loving these BTS vids, Craig. Keep 'em coming. :)

"Born to Race" is probably the most realistic street racing movie I've seen. The plot is not too bad either. Highly recommended.

I know when I saw the movie for the first it was tough because I was calling out all the fouls as they were going such as this first street race & how long it was, the only thing I wasn't sure about then but I know for sure now is Brian bringing his car to redline in the Dodger Stadium parking lot, I didn't know big that parking lot was back then but I live in Los Angeles now... Thanks Craig, great vid as always buddy, you should come out to 742 Race Wars this weekend at Fontana Auto Club

Craig... you are too Cool!!! You just tell it how it is..... and I FREAKIN LOVE IT!!! I can just see your facial expressions and hear your sighs, when you first saw the movie’s BS!!!

9th edit: If y'all wanna know why Craig hasn't been uploading, He has been moving houses.

VinWiki lead me here. This is rapidly becoming my favorite youtube channel to binge-watch!

Great video, thanks.

Ive seen the rx7 and eclipse stunt cars at the hollywood cars museum in vegas. Super awesome

Thank you for making these intresting video's! If it wasnt for you, who would? As a Fast and the Furious 1,2 and 3 fan i couldnt ask for more.

I can't believe you put DIYMike footage ❤ I should definitely catch up with him and the guys' videos, but I loved the Pink Widow "10s on a budget" adventure

Your Maxima is the reason I bought a 99 Maxima gxe 5 speed and put on a nitrous kit on it while everyone else I knew had a Honda. The good old days.

Can we understand in the back of our minds that when the camera angle shifts sometimes that was a different angle a few moments ago. So it was a layered scene and not end to end. It would be cool to see someone do a multiple image representation syncing up how it would have played out in real time. It'd be funny if it were a 20 second race.

watching this again for fun. "caution overboost" would have definitely made sense to the general audience. but "danger to manifold" lives on as comedy gold royalty.

So heres what makes Craig this shit. 1) No clickbait. At all. None. 2) Very knowledgeable. 3) Wach video keeps me interested to the point I binge watched them. 4) No bullshit. Thank you for all the work you've done on the movies and most of all, making these videos. I remember seeing them in the theaters. I remember everyone zipping out all crazy after it ended in their body kitted, neon lit, fart can screaming cars lol. I always had a big truck. Then got a 350z. I also always had a crotch rocket. Kinda wished they showed more bikes in the movies but whatever. Thanks again man.

Not surprised, I always knew Brian's Eclipse was an RS given the rear drum brakes and funky valve cover. Why the decision was made to not acquire a GSX I will never know. Should have at least started with a GS, that way they could at least throw stupid amounts of boost at it and just suffer the traction and torque steer deficiencies. What did come as a surprise is that the Integra has USF plates, meaning to me, he's a local as I live in Central Florida. Never been a huge Honda fan but that's still pretty cool.

I mean, to be fair, although the Danger to manifold system is funny now, I didn't know much about cars when this movie came out (was around 7 years old). Still one of my favorite movies today, much love and respect from Iowa Craig!

I remember watching that first race, then returning the DVD. Never finished the movie.

That Red Acura look Sick //// i was 20 years old when i saw this movie ///wao ! cool time.... VTEC time. Time fly .... Now i have Kids ,House,Dogs, SUV,Sedan but i still missing A vintage VTEC

6:50 I don’t know why but the thought of a race with just a bunch of cars going full bore slamming on the limiter for miles on end is hilarious 🤣

Awesome vid, ur so right some minor tweeks would have made the film even better.

I always thought the RX-7 had a 20B 3-rotor in it. The sound seemed close-ish to that engine, and even at the start of the race when the camera goes through the "engine", you can count 3 distinct rotors. I wonder if Craig had anything to do with that?

I'm not sure if the whole scene would've been so memorable, and such a classic for me to this day, if it wasn't for the iconic technobabble and the acting. Maybe it wasn't realistic at all, but god damn, watching this race cracks me the hell up everytime. Then the race ends, Brian picks up Dom, and I end up watching the whole movie again. Such a classic.

How long did f&f sit on the shelf? I remember watching a bootleg of the movie on vhs without music Way before the theatrical release.

and who would've won if one of the racers drove a corolla?

Badass dude!

4:47 I find it funny when you say curse words 😂😂 even though Brian's Eclipse had those actual mods for the movie, still looks nice though 👌

the eclpise tops out at 145 iv done it in an auto one and the integra tops out at 143 for the gsr transmission and 149 in the ls transmission

I remember a magazine feature with I think a Honda Accord with R34 Sedan taillights. Those days started it all for me.

I remember being 6 or 7 when the movie came to DVD, i used to rewind this scene dozens of times thinking the outcome would change and the Eclipse would win lol

I think hearing Craig Liberman say "gapplebees" has been the highlight of this day lmaooo

Amazing!!!

If the cars had the power represented...speculatively it would have been much different. #1 GSX #2 RX7 #3 Type R #4 Si

Are you gonna talk about the Dodge Rams from 2F2F?

The only way for boost to increase like that at idle is another electric motor spinning the turbo / sc air past throttle plate.

AWESOMENESS

The Jon lapid hero eclipse is in Gatlinburg TN at Hollywood Star Cars Museum, not Branson Missouri.

Fun vid!

1J 🤤🤤 the VVTI1J is my favorite though.

Incredible thank you may favorite say danger to manifolds lol 😂☠️😂☠️
