Ended up doing exactly like the movie and the meme I crafted.
At least I still have the junky GT90 from when I was an infant and I'll save this by swapping tires and wheels. And for the project I have in my mind, I won't need the rear wing anyway.
Should I say we never forget our first Zuprah?
Supra is expensive? Here's a plenty of Toyota/Lexus options!

Just watched the final deleted scene of the first Fast movie...
Brian tells the truth, get pardoned by the police and absolute freedom embraces everyone.
And I'm really in shock to discover how excellent ideas are thought as "shit" by producers, directors, screenwriters, actors and the rest. Honestly, they could've simply kept making separated stories for each movie but... you know the american fetish for franchises... They had to tie all movies together for basically profits. It became less about the real life and more about selling the same meal again and again.
Kinda sad because they could've written this way: Walker could've saved his old Eclipse and fixing it back to a normal car, then jumping into another mission unrelated to anything before. So each movie could've been a different story and they should've stopped by 2009 or 2011 with a 5th movie. Hollywood people make so much of these indelicacies that makes me hate most people involved. Seriously.
Be SUPERBLY GLAD that Highflyer exists. Yes, I'll drive a second gen "catfish" Eclipse on it as well. My way and the highway, so take a look around.
If Initial-D was realistic about the potential of each car and character!
How to enjoy modern cars like I do? (video)
Just a little night talk.
He just proved to me that JDM is just a bubble of hype, especially from North America. It already burst. Stop dreaming of a crappy A80, its a shitbox.
youtube.comTyler just watched the crappy weakfest and decided to buy that kid's hooptie.
You blink, he already bought hehehe.
People are so much overblown towards car culture that makes me sick. Tyler is someone who actually knows how deep is the mud to get into. Most of you kids? Never. Enjoy while it lasts before I take car culture into my hands. I already have my blog so... stay tuned.
Its been 20 years since Tokyo Drift...
Yet, most people are blindly focused on the 25th anniversary of the first F&F movie and the crappy re-release of it. But when I watched the 2001 movie, it was kinda like a crappy 5 year old movie movie that somehow appeared on TV. Especially since the 2F2F was the one being repeatedly put on TV - the NFSU2 vibes and the fact that therre was a mix of dragging, circuit and mission races made it way more important for me than the first one. Tokyo Drift barely received any attention at all, but then the 4th movie was released (now with Sinclair having the full rights on his hands) I really don't think movies did better than me actually searching and watching the old videos and docs about the cheap import scene back then. And I'm talking about people who actually enjoyed cars and went into racing.
I mean, everything nowadays - just like back then, lets be real - is direct into internet; surf YT and you'll find it, old pages, blogs, forums... you can even buy old and new magazines. But since the mainstream media engulfed way more the automotive content currently than back then, it gives me a bitter taste to see this little frenzy towards Fast 1. If I put my real taste on the line, only 2F2F and Tokyo Drift managed to present the cars doing something better than simply launching from the lights. There was some sort of "rally" in Fast 4, but that's where the franchise became an action franchise, cars be damned at all.
Of course, even the chinese Pegasus rally movie is more interesting than anything produced on europe or america, but at least some kind of passion for realism still alive there. And nowadays everything competes against everything on any race track, so there's no rush for a pure "import" production. Movie studios would screw up the real performance of anything. Even in my Highflyer you can see a little Opel Calibra (driven by Brienne Connolly) and you'll see more american cars (Challenger and Prowler on the next race) as well. But don't expect drag racing, I'm all about rally, touring and drifting.
I guess it all comes to me, how personally I see car culture. For me its something natural, not like many people around who try and try and still don't get there. But one thing is to respect, other thin is to admire, a third is how things are done. I'm someone who separates artist, object and concept.
Então pilotar pra Ferrari é meio que entrar pra Gryffindor...!!
Leclerc, o Potter monegasco.
Blogs are the best personal way to talk about anything.
I'm sorry if you've been chasing that validation from society, but I got away from that shit and really started a blog called "Maquinólogo". If you want me to openly talk about cars in both portuguese or english langauges, you can directly ask me and I'll record a video with my observations and real data about the car you love.

Any advantages over anything in any mainstream social media?
Actual supreme liberty. A safe place to be yourself without social pressure and illusory expectations.
That's really priceless, because you get freed from any kind of expectations these mainstream social media pages throw on your face. You, as a human, must never fall for this trap. And although blogs feel kinda pre-historic in terms of internet ageing, they are valuable places for being comfortable about discussing things. Because every time you feel compelled to say something on Youtube, Reddit, Facebook for example, you're bending to the scrutiny of a cultural clash that won't give you the actual answers.
Bonus: if you want a free english-translated version of Highflyer chapters 1 and 2, I'll post there as well.
PS: just don't get jealous about my lovely childish face at 30 hehehe. How many of you will give up on live eternally young? hehehe
I really hate football (soccer). Cars are complex and that's why I'm passionate about them.
Yes, I really hate it. In my country, Brazil, it was firstly a kind of "playboy" sport played by the elites during the early 20th century. Over the time, very few poor blokes managed to earn a lot, even on local leagues and write their names on the history of the sport. Nowadays, most of them simply go play away because they receive better and finally escape the systemic poverty here.
Being a purely intellectual guy, I really see some aspects that makes me hate football. Its a violent sport, full body contact and useless fights. Its not delicate like racing cars or most of the sports on the Olympics. And every time I see the highest score many other countries do every winter and summer olympics (US, Russia, Japan, Germany, China...), it makes me really hateful over a bunch of 200.000.000 people that only seems to care about enjoying this induced happy-go-lucky poverty appeal. Basically a "Nazi frenzy" favouring football takes the minds of people here, over any other interesting and complex thing around.
The moment you start to practice and admire other kinds of sports (I've been enjoying roller skating!!), you finally break free from been indoctrinated and finally lives happy with yourself and your different vision. Thankfully, in my entire life, I never enjoying kicking a ball. Never!
Cars, for me, are a natural passion. I'm pretty sure americans right now couldn't care less about association football and I respect that. FIFA? Who gives a fuck to them? When you have Cadillac and Ford Powertrains working seriously in Formula One, who actually needs 11 bastards receiving a shitload of money and being praised on social media for kicking a ball between each other?
What really counts are revs and speed on the cluster, each circuit you survive by making the perfect lines, challenging other drivers from the world all year on any kind of motorsport. I'm really hopeful for Gabriel Bortoleto on Audi Team this year. I respect every step Bortoleto learns from Hulkenberg. Because I'm not into cult of personality. People should've been easier on praising Verstappen as well. People have been "afraid" of praising Norris for breaking his streak.
That's the real magic of motorsport if you have the same passionate spirit as me. Its always changing for the good, never for the bad. Its really about shutting other people's hypocrite minds completely and nuking them out of your existence and finally living happily with the complexities of mechanics, aerodynamics and strategy. Technology is passion and helps people.
Exemplo, pela última vez.
Já sei que ninguém vai me ouvir, então... sejam felizes com suas jabiracas. Eu abracei a curva e fui embora com ela.
Lixão a céu aberto! Compre sua furreca inflacionada e vá fingir ser feliz.
Tá pra nascer algum alienígena mais esperto do que eu, porque ser humaninho certamente não existe.
Sempre uma baleia encalhada! Acha que é só na Subaru? Tem de todas as marcas hahahaha.
Mais uma baleia encalhada!
Aquele carinha da AMF pensa que é o "Willy Wonka" dos carros? Nunca vi ele ganhar nem a copa HB20, então... não dá pra confiar em AMF.
Stealing canon.
Would you like to hear how the story really happened after the end of Project-D? Its kinda important to Highflyer context.
Orca encalhada à vista!
Não adianta levar num especialista biro-biro, se ainda é uma orca de 1600 kg com somente 250 cv pra puxar. Se bobear, eu acho (ou fabrico) uma Forester mais leve e mais potente. Se isso é o preço de um "projetinho", então prefiro um original pela metade do preço. Ou um detonadão pela metade da metade do preço.
Vocês não estão prontos para gostar de carro do jeito que eu gosto. Mas eu ainda tolero vocês.
