How To Build a Fast & Furious Replica Car (2022) 

The nice thing about building a replica of Jesse's Jetta is you don't need to spend the money on front brake calipers =P

Could listen to this guy talk about these cars for hours

The Jetta will always be my Favorite 😍 It's not the fastest car in the movie or in reality but over all it was a really nice looking car. And I still think the mk3 gen is underrated for the VW cars.

I've always wanted to do a Civic replica. When I saw the movie for the first time that summer, and saw those civics! Let's just say I got goosebumps. Same with the eclipse. I remember in the theater when the eclipse was destroyed people going "nooo" women gasped, many with the the " oh wtf!" Watched it 3x that summer, got it the moment it came out on VHS since a DVD player was still out of my price range at the time 😆. I was 17 almost 18 and can honestly say the first movie changed my life.

love the information. Would love to own a replica of brian's eclipse. Thats the car that really got me into the tuner scene. But happy building my own tuner car as well.

Hey Craig, I found hectors civic or what's left of it. Currently it's in Illinois with no body kit anymore, beat up, and some of the dash left. It's listed for $4k

There was a channel on YT who bought an Eclipse from Tavarish and he swore up and down that we was going to build the closest tribute possible. Now that channel has no videos on it at all. Such a shame. Just shows how lofty these goals are.

Sean's '71 Monte Carlo would be the best value for money F&TF replica ! ...... change my mind ! 🤔

Great job as usual, old friend. Miss you guys, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

I would to see more FnF videos Craig I’m always fascinated by the stories you tell about them

Love the movies, and especially love the cars, I’ve even replicated them in GTA V, that way I can actually get to drive them all with my friends 😎

The GOAT of tuner cars, Craig Lieberman. Respect!

Love most of the 2F2F Skyline reps, usually wrong kit & wheels, all they get right is the stripes (kinda)

Let’s be honest, some parts should stay in the past. I like the Throtl approach to building these cars. Modernize them! Keep the color and graphics but put your own spin on it from there.

Forgot about the easiest replica, Harry’s Lightning

I bought my AXIS se7en’s in 2001 for $1,800 with Pirelli tires. Never knew that only 500 sets were ever produced. I carried them around through about 3 moves (was in the military at the time), and donated them to the base autobody hobby shop in 2010. I’ve looked for these rims numerous times since and they are hard to find. I think they produced more of the Axis Se7en Mods then the original version. Sad to hear that Lenso and Axis haven’t continued to reproduce the rims.

Links for everything 😆 Forgot the lightning is the easiest just a decal and red

This is like asmr to me!

I seen a R34 rep in Auckland NZ

I would like a Mad Max pursuit special. Flip on supercharger 🤓

Besides the obvious orange supra and 2f2f silver/blue r34.. I'd love to have the yellow r33 from the first movie, the evo from Tokyo drift, I actually even love the green evo from 2 fast 2 furious

Can you make a list for the cars in 2F2F

I had the axis se7en 19s on my 99 civic si and sold the fully show car 5 years later with only 15k miles on it I so regret it !!!

I wonder how much it would be to have a another company cut those wheels and another company make all the trim pieces and stuff you need?

What about the cars from Tokyo Drift? I absolutely love the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo from the movie.

If the Hero 3 Supra continues to improve it'll end up copying even the freaking microscratches in the paint, that dude is nuts.

Mr Craig is it true that the iconic Herocar Fast 2Skyline and the Fast7 Godzilla is in the walker brothers

I remember where that Axis wheel shop was

What about the other cars from the entire series? Like, Letty's Challenger or Tej's Wrangler and Hobbs' armored SUV?

Here's a thought about replica vs tribute car. Lets say you want to build Suki's S2000 from 2fast. If you watched Doug Demuro's review you would find out it's "quirks and features" for example, the interior upholstery was basically but a basic bathroom mat roughly glued into place. Would you be going to bed bath and beyond or would you have it properly upholstered like it would be if the car was real? You would probably install the neon lights a bit neater than the movie and chances are you wouldnt mess with the rear view mirror since that was modified strictly for the purpose of camera angles.

Tbh I'd have that "quarter pounder" t-shirt, as my nickname is Dominic Torresmo 😂😂😂😂😂

There’s a set of the lenso version of the eclipse wheels on eBay right now

why was there a cam corder in the car? 90s dash cam or back up cam?

What about the 100 speed transmissions?

Great video as always. Would you ever cover the cars from the other movies? I am pretty interested in a Tokyo drift monte carlo replica.

Hey Criag, love your videos, do you know what the real color code of the green eclipse is? Is it a Kawasaki green paint code or is it a Lamborghini Miura green paint code? And if you know it can you share it👍

The Eclipse is my favorite car from all movies

Don't be afraid to buy reconstructed or salvage titles for any replicas or even track cars. Drives me nuts when people take pristine examples and hack them apart

Craig I wanted to ask why they didn't tape the whole race between sean and toretto?

“Pep boys bro” 😂

My og car with Tanabe and body kit made by vhs Is still here. It's at the Mopar dad's shop. Rebuilt everything braking suspension and steering rack this fall. Buried in snow. Alpine touchscreen head unit lol. Im waiting to reseed the body kit sticker in your vid

What was that camcorder in your orange supra for Mr Lieberman?

Been trying to get one replacement rim for the konig tantrum that’s on jesse’s vw for years now,seen em on a few Hondas but none for sale🤷🏾‍♂️

That's true mostly these body kits and these parts don't exist no more because they have been discontinued and mostly the people that sell the part or mostly second-hand parts and they're mostly used

But what if I wanted to recreate the 6 wheeled black Chevy truck from the 4th fast and furious? What's the cheapest way to do that?

I want the eclipse but they were never brought out in Australia and I don’t know if I do a rhd conversion if I were to get one

I gotta grab some merch lol.

Love the video. thank you for the insights.

Their is a guy in my home town in Milwaukee who has a replica of the ff eclipse exact replica but his is auto. But the car is nice

With a disgusting amount of patience and time and money. Finding the discontinued parts is like finding a toothpick in a haystack

So I definitely have to say something about these cars. I tried building a replica movie car once it got very expensive for me really quick as it was a older car. But when it comes to the fast and furious cars. The only way to get them where I can afford them is find the model kit of the car or the hot wheels version or build the car in a video game. Like I have a very I think as close as I can get version of your orange Supra from the first movie and your sliver and blue skyline from the second movie. In the game I can all of the correct parts wheels and paint and even the underglow because of this I now have at lest 3 garage Full of cars yea that’s how much you inspire me

Cheapest would be the Lightning from the 1st movie, just buy a red 2nd gen Lightning and put the stickers on the doors.

Amazing Video.......🇮🇳

I'm surprised there's not a company like duraflex that'll just mold old body kit styles and sell them out because they would make a ton of money just refabricating these body kits and selling them out

For my country I need to place it right hand side

I want to build Sean Monte Carlo... or similar to that matter

uhhh what about the J front on Mia's car? Not cheap i think

Can you make a nissan gtr r35 buyers guide 🙏

2 fast 2 furious evo 7 is gonna be real cheap but the rear taillights will be a problem

You forgot the Ford lightning!

I wish still make Toyota supra more 90 car over them

Have you ever heard about the Norwegian car movie Børning? We have the most expencive car taxes in the world it looks like, but we still make car movies

I never understood the big deal about just giving part numbers out, i really cant understand why not do that. If the issue is money and time, that would be the best way to actually drive prices down

Especially the wheels, Axis & RacingHart wheels would be impossible to find

what is the car paul drove in the prelude to 2 fast 2 furious?

If you want an eclipse(Axis) wheels try original alloys from honda civic type r fn2. You can thank me later 😁

What about getting sued for copyright,like RU-vidr (b is for build) Mustang Eleanor (gone in 60 sec)??,is it worth the hassle.

I just do whatever I want, have fun wrenchin' ;)

The eclipse is easy beacuse so many cars look like it eagle talon,dodge stealth etc etc

You have destroyed the mold for the (supra) bumper right ? i just dont see why ? You can make money of it and people can finally get your hands on a replica bumper from the right person.

For wheels can’t you take them to a company that makes custom wheels and they recreate them for a high price tag? I don’t understand especially for cars in the first movie because of the demand they wouldn’t just recreate them.

I want a eclipse

What were the wheels that the heist civic had?

R34 f2f is still the best among all

I’m a fan but I don’t care about all the engine, and other spec like that, I just want the look

Wait…what if I want to build a rocket-propelled Fiero that’s capable of manned space orbit???

Has to be a few eclipse wheels left somewhere still. i bet alot of people started replicas 20 yrs ago and either lost interest or lost money and they have stuff sitting in a barn or garage somewhere right now, people hoard alotta weird stuff.

Nice you like seeing people with replica car that looks like the movie car. Not like some female producer, who trademaked a shelby and sue people who made one... even the creator of the shelby. Good thing the courts didn't agree with her.

Not sure if I'm in a minority group here, but these days I prefer the tribute builds like Throtls supra and eclipse. Paying homage to the originals but being very different and more modern take on them

R34 skyline would be the most expensive to build sun e stock r34 in the states are well north of 100k

I personally want to see Chomorroboy86 convert of those Se7ens into some 3 piece wheels just to see the replica fan boys lose their minds.

Im building a rx8 with the visual of the han's rx7 veilside

Here to burn some rubber first 😎

💪🏻🙌🏻💯

Tributes make way more sense than a replica. You just can't feasibly do it.

16080

25k for the eclipse is a bargin

It physically pains me to see a GST/GSX built to look like the F&F Eclipse.

The only way to get an authentic replica is to overnight the parts from Japan ;)

Rather keep my $20 jada replica 😜

Thats so crazy supras are selling for 80k. I remember when you could get a clean one for around 20k

Since when wrapping is cheaper than paint ?! Whatt

I'd like to replicate with Mia

Pero todo lo que dice lo esta leyendo……..asi que chiste tiene….significa no sabe tanto y le tienen que apuntar todo y el solo lo lee

Video starts at 1:29 You’re welcome 🙂

I was never a fan of the ricer style. I get sick to the stomach when I see a movie replica Eclipse and find out it's a GS-T or a GSX. If they want to be accurate, they should use a garbage ass RS.

ANY japanese car that has a steering wheel on the left is a FAKE. for example american "ae86" are not a real ae86. REAL ae86 are right hand drive only. "240sx" are not even a real CAR, they only exist in america, they are an american musce car. sorry, its a 180sx or silvia, 240sx are FAKE

10:42 what a crappy platform! they should use bmw e34\e39 or mb W201\W124☝

Do people care about the tacky, ugly look? I am more concerned about the performance. I wouldn't purposely go out and get a huge wing that blocks me view out of the back glass

First one here
