How realistic is/was Tokyo Drift?
In terms of the car scene in Japan at that time (2006), the drifting, street racing, etc.
When I was in Japan last year I didn't see anything to do with drifting or street racing. I didn't even see a single GTR in Tokyo, Osaka, or Kyoto.
It wasn't.
it was based of 90's drift culture it was already 6 years behind the curve
The drifting itself was quite on point, even Tsuchiya was one of the stunt drivers.
Street drifting still happens, not inside Tokyo though. Mountain pass racing still is alive and well. Street drifting in Gunma, Osaka, bay areas, small cities, etc. There are lot of instagram pages, though, a lot of these drivers that post footage of themselves are foreigners.
Their cars, usually silvias, look more like drift missiles though.
street racing is dying out. though it is easier to get track time these days.
I was stationed in Japan, in the Kanagawa prefecture just south of Tokyo. Rode my motorcycle up in the mountains to get away and relax. all the good roads had hi vix orange plastic posts down the middle, in the curves.
>does Hollywood give a realistic representation of the reality
You really need to ask this question?
>being able to maintain a conversation while in a car drifting down a mountain pass
Do you think anyone would actually drift through Shibuya?
"Curves" is so uncool, say corner instead.
Or better, apexes

It had cars in it. That was about it for realism.
no on in F&F movies has a real job. they all drive quarter million dollar custom cars.
>v6 mustang
I think that's the biggest issue I had with those movies. Even at the start of the races you see them putting up thousands and thousands of dollars to ante and race but what the fuck do they do for that money? And that's not even to mention the 100k dollar cars they were driving

>realistic
About as realistic as the underground racing scene in FATF.
TD was a weeaboo wish-fulfillment fantasy.
What are some instagram pages to follow?
>millions of dollars poured into that gay looking orange supra
>can barely keep up with a ferrari 348 which does 0-60 over 5s
To be fair, the whole point of the first movie was that they were hijacking trucks and stealing the shit inside of them so I guess most of the money was coming from that. Plus that shitty sandwich shop they had too
Judging by the other things happening in the movies: crime.
Japan has turned into a cucked country, it had a serious beta problem that only another nuke can fix
Well, you can't deny that the intersection would be a pretty good place to drift. When nobody is around for the crossing though.
>millions
It was 15 grand or more, if they had to, overnight parts from Japan.
Nigga what?
Brian was a cop. The "muh family" gang hijacked and robbed supply trucks filled with electronics and shit, and then proceeded to sell them. Everything after that is done through crime and heists.
The only thing that wasn't explained is how Brian managed to get a GTR in 2F2F after he quit his job.
That was a 355.
>The only thing that wasn't explained is how Brian managed to get a GTR in 2F2F after he quit his job.
Uh, that was explained too.
Yo what the fuck, this wasn't in my copy of the film.
>just finds a R34 coupe in the middle bumfuck no where southwest.
>after Motorex fucked up and got r34 imports banned till 25 years.
>gets parts and a garage to fix it up.
If they want to lose their license and a chance of ever getting a job again, sure.
where's the turbocharged prelude?
Shut up iggy
>Japan
>Realistic
@yellow1jz
no one was driving around subcompact nissan cars and getting drunk then apologizing for being drunk while doing karaoke
When I was a teen and saw the breakfast club I was wondering why I was such a 5 o'clock shadowless manlet.
Now I could really do without having stubble every second day
Dat dose tho
>TSU!
>TSU!
No seriously where was the Prelude?
Some pretty shitty content. Who is this guy again?
>any fast and furious movie
>realistic
pick one
This is like asking if star wars is an accurate depiction of space travel
>I didn't even see a single GTR in Tokyo
That's because you have to go outside.
When I lived just outside of Tokyo, I would see one once every few days at a minimum. Just walking around my neighborhood, there would be tuned supra's with big ass turbos, and people would go out and light them up down the main road in front of my apartment, er well mansion I guess.
Even in insane tourist areas I'd see tuned WRX's and old skool Evo's. Shit, even the big ass vans would have body kits and exhausts on them. You must not have looked very hard.

If you want to learn about Japanese drift culture, this is a more accurate portrayal
it was inline 6
noriyaro
also watch his youtube videos to understand how street drifting actually goes down.
It's a prelude to the movie lel...
not the car
Just like the original.

Tokyo Drift
Mate, I literally spent 8 hours a day walking around outside for the 30 days I spent in Japan. And not only did I walk around for 8 hours during the day, I also spent 6 hours out at night after taking a couple hours of rest in the afternoon.
And I didn't see a single GTR.
Some motorex cars weren't smashed and are legal.
I think it's a DVD extra or something like that.
they could have at least waited till he was in Florida. Where car registration is done by private companies and there is a thriving grey market import car business.
instead change it out for a plebeian mitsu lancer
I found the promised land in Kyoto last year

Brilliant way of stacking goods and not securing it to ensure all your cargo gets destroyed (even without the swerving from being hijacked)
Nice! I took quite a few shots too, I've only seen a handful of AE86s prior to visiting there, so it was pretty cool to be able to look around so many. Damn they've gotten expensive though!
are those prices in hundreds of thousands of yen? because those prices are crazy good, for how clean those old cars are
If they were, I'd have 3 in my driveway right now ha..
Naa, they're in millions, so the one at the front: 2,100,000 JPY = 18,500 USD.
The one further back, 3,800,000 JPY = 33,500 USD.
Very expensive. They were all pretty much mint, the higher priced ones especially were insanely clean for the their age, but yeah that's still a LOT of money.
@toshihiro180sx, @damogogo
I'm more interested at the minivan to the left of the Trueno.
What the fuck is that?
just your average recent safety standard design feature
@carmeats
@bimmertips
I just noticed the front wheels on that GTR are chocked...
If I recall correctly it isn't even a true GTR.
