    Fast five...

    It was exactly what I wanted it to be. Lots of outlandish action, good one liners (although not as good as the first), great looking cars (Congrats RCR!), and all of the characters we've come to enjoy. Was it oscar worthy and tear jerking? Goodness no. Was it a FatF movie? Most definitely...

    Werent the originals pressurized magnesium framed? gives a bit of defense of those welds. Gotta be much more thorough, and mag doesnt weld nearly as nicely. Horrifyingly dangerous though.

    Hey folks, Ive been dreaming about doing an RCR 917 build for way too long, and it looks like finances are finally stating to show some promise, so I figured its time to start doing more extensive research than just drooling at the internet and lurking these boards. Its great to see an active...
