Tokyo Drift....What did you think?

Well I watched parts of it, one part I seen was totolly lame, when they was first racing in the Viper and the other car (cant think what it was offhand) and it looked so fake when he started fliiping, acting like the car had no brakes or something, he had plenty of time to get control, the movie just sickins me, I knew there was a reason I made fun of every fast furious movie...

i'm glad i downloaded it and didn't go to pay money for it

Some of you guys are too critical of everything. If they wanted the movie to be completely true to life and have everything perfect, they would. But that wouldn't sell tickets or DVDs. The movie entertained me, so I got my money's worth.

^ Exactly!! Enjoy the movie and stop looking to see if he shifted correctly or at the right time and method or the car rolled perfect, just watch and enjoy. It entertained me as well, pretty good movie.

going to have to agree.
but alot of these movies are really comical how poorly interpreted they are.
but i still think that building a race around looking good going around turns is really ***.

Well me, I cant watch a movie where they spend the money to make it look cool and they still **** things up, but oh well, it didnt entertain me, it was ***, but hey ricers like rice movies.

There's a lot more to drifting than that. Believe it or not, it is a widely accepted sport amongst tuners.

Aken's got a good point... watching a movie like F&F and criticizing everything about it because it isn't "accurate" is like watching an old western and getting **** when you count them shooting 10 rounds out of their six-shooters, or watching JAG and disliking it sinply because the ribbons that Mac is wearing are out of order.

its also widely critisized by auto enthusiest.
drifting is essential to ralley, but turning the entire race into how good they look going around turns just pretty much made figure skating for ricers.

alright just saw the movie, i liked it. it wasnt really about the sport of drifting, mostly just drifting around some turns and ****. not bad. but that motor in the mustang is a skyline motor.
thats no sr20det.

I saw it last night, it was good for what it was. you can't be super critical of movies or none of them are very good

You had me until you said ricers. I would say its figure skating for racers. Just because they have a Japanese culture around the event doesn't make any of them ricers. The cars HAVE mods done to them, and although the cosmetic mods are not what you and I may do, they are still beautiful machines. And to write off drifting because its all about looks is dumb too. Figure skating is the same way. You can't tell me it doesn't take dedication and hard work to do it. Its an art form and everyone should respect it... (I think its cool as hell)



Is anyone else tired of the word rice being used so freely?

wide body kits helpm in performance in drifting so it isnt rice

"every movie I've seen where someone flies backward after being shot is falsified and therefore does not entertain me"

my definition on ricers is this, car that may or may not be modified however is driven by an individual who thinks it can outperform anything else and believes their car is the ultimate car out there or alot better than it is.
drifting is for ricers because in the past week i have seen more civics and probes and **** "drifting" than before. and i really dont think that the idea of "drifting" really came to the states as it should have, therefor giving it rice conotation.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ricer

A person who makes unecessary modifications to their most often import car (hence the term "rice") to make it (mostly make it look) faster. The most common modifications are (but not limited to):

- Huge exhaust that serves no purpose but to make the car louder
- Large spoiler on the back that looks like something Boeing made for the 747
- Lots of after-market company stickers they don't have parts from, but must be cool
- Expensive wheels that usually cost more than the car itself
- Bodykit to make the car appear lower, usually accented with chicken wire
- Clear tail lights and corner signals
- A "performace intake"- a tube that feeds cold air to their engine usually located in areas of excessive heat (behind or on top of the engine)
- Most of these riced cars (a.k.a. rice rockets or rice burners) are imports; Honda Civics, Accords, Integras, CRXs, RSXs, Del Sols Mitsubishi Eclipses, Lancers, Subaru Imprezas, however there are some domestics such as Chevrolet Caviliers, Dodge Neons, Ford Focus; small, slow, economy cars designed specifically to go slow. Please note that some Supras, Skylines, WRX's and other higher performance imports are designed to go fast, and are therfore not always considered rice. It really depends on the severity of the case.

The "ricer" attempts to make their car "performance" by adding the modifications listed above. These ricers are not confined to any one ethnic group or color, however different ethnic groups are known for certain styles.

Honda Civics with big spoilers and 4" exhaust tips are considered to be ricers.

Im sorrie but I think the term ricer should never be uttered in a NEON/LED Based Forum.... if you really think about it NEon/and LED lights are flashy and kinda USELESS (unless your a cop then its ok)


AND some times too much torque is bad!!! if theres too much free spin on your tires then you'll just spin out and do donuts, unless again you know your machine. Ive seen some old mustangs and cameros in drift events and I was impressed on how much control they had on their Vehicles.

again, i said my definition of ricer. because there are people who do **** to their cars just to make them look showish which is fine, but a breed ricer is going to stop at every streetlight and rev their motor looking for a race.
and i personally would rather get from 0-60 faster and have a lower top speed than have a car able to get to 180 but 0-60 in like 10 seconds.

So anyone that thinks they have a fast car is a ricer?

And if people in Civics started hanging out at Starbucks, would coffee be rice?

Yep, we get called ricer all the time, so we should really be careful about throwing it around as an insult.

yes a person who believes their car is alot faster than it is and thinks it will beat anything on the road and turns it into a giant **** wagging fest is a ricer.
and the reason you get called a ricer because of your lights is because its typically something 16 year old kids do to their cars because they cant afford real performance. however they still will race around town thinking they're the **** because all their friends are still walking or on bikes.
and yes, i was a ricer by urban dictionary definition with my cavi, but i havent done any "ricey" mods to the 3000gt, nor do i plan on it.

at least you can admit it, Nice 3000gt BTW....

I say to Each their own..........If you like the big Spoilers and Loud Good for nothing Fart Cannons then be my guess, I wont like it and Ill laugh at it from time to time, but if you like it then thats all that counts RIGHT?!?!?


Back to the Movie: It was ok, I would never pay to see it hence the reason I snuck in...... BUt All I have to say is Thank good Bow Wow didnt do any drifting cuz then I would have to kill myself!!!

^ does sound good, thanks for the compliment, iv become less amused with the roof scoop because it does nothing but stares at me and says "your roof looks like **** and im covering dents" but i cant afford to fix it.

but i will say that the end of the movie was a nice touch and showed some taste from the creaters.

Well, according to this... pretty much every show car/trailer queen that you see at SEMA, H.I.D., H.I.N., etc. is ricer. I think that most of the time, people are called ricers while their car is in the "in between" stage of going from stock to show winner. You can't just build up a car in a matter of months. I just stopped using the word altogether, mainly because now a days, it has lost a definitive meaning and therefore is useless...

I think the word rice should be illegal, unless discussing the delicious white food.

**** happens. i get called a ricer more often in my 3000 than i ever have in my cavalier, even with every light blazing.

Haters. I can guarantee everyone that calls you a ricer in the 3000GT are jelous and want your ride. That's a bad ass car, If I had the money I would have one. Theyre nice as hell and theyre pretty quick.

**** haters. They're only mad because you have something they want.

I love the fact that the guy with a **** roof scoop throws around the term "ricer" like Paris Hilton says "Hot"

All the ***** about AWD/RWD/Turbo/V8/Heavy is pointless. There was no claim that this movie was going to be based on a true story and actual fact. Much love to those who went to see and knew what they were going to get. To those who went and saw it and are ***** about it "Fool me once shame on you (FATF1). Fool me twice shame on me. (FAFT2)" You knew what you were going to the 2nd and now the 3rd time you still want to *****. It's like going and seeing any other movie with any special effects and getting **** that there is alien space ships or the white house was blown up. I know the Aliens don't hover over NYC and the Whitehouse is still there.

This post is the same exact as the orginal movie post was. The first time around we all belly ached about Rear Wheels spinning on FWD cars and flame through exhaust pipes that was color matched.

I agree with Aken on all points. Ban the word Rice.

What happened to that Jellybeanz or whatever with the Neon btw?

Amen Brother

edit:delete
my definition of rice will stand in what i believe.

Bah, Why bother bickering about this, I retake my wise ass response in this post. I am glad you are happy with your scoop and your car and yourself. You have an opinion. Just like everybody. Rock on.

Drifting is honestly Rice for the racing world. That is, drifting in the sense of TFTF3. Drifting does serve a purpose in dirt track and rally racing. However, to act cool with your Miata, go out to a mountain road at 1 in the morning and slide around like some kid in a wheel chair in winter, is just **** stupid.

well, in the movie it wasnt really as ricey as i thought it would be. the races were more of a ralley setup with lots of turns that required a drift technique. no where in the movie were the drifts "scored" or "rated" because as you know in drifting you can win the race, but lose because you didnt score as high. but that wasnt the case in the movie

BLAH BLAH BLAH
