C’mon guys, time to take a big steaming poo all over this episode. Post all the glaring inaccuracies. So far I’ve noticed:

  • An automatic Gen2 Eclipse, drifting (sure, with a ton of custom work on the tranny)
  • An AE86 edging out an RX-7 in a straight line (possible, maybe. is it cold in hell)
  • Drifting referred to as “a stunt”
  • Dude beheaded by what looks to be a 3/8" cable (ripped out of the sunroof maybe, beheaded, no.)
  • “jet fuel” recognized by smell, referenced as burning 200 degrees hotter than gasoline
  • said jet fuel responsible for propelling a honda through a garage door on start-up and then sitting there idly burning (uhh… no. not even touching this)
  • ride height of said eclipse calculated at 6", and then 17". an 11" lift on hydraulics, and nobody noticed? (not even in compton)
  • “jet fuel” pumped through “high pressure” lines to area airports, through residential areas (last i checked, commercial pipelines don’t run in residential areas, real jet fuel is tanked in to airports, and physics says it’s bad to try to pipe combustibles through high pressure lines)
  • remote switch to that magic 11" lift activated by cell phone (meh.)
  • last but not least, “sideshows” performed in parking lots in BROAD DAYLINGHT

okay guys, have at it. what did i miss?

hydraulics= air ride

  1. Jet A is very pungent in smell and very recongnizable, As well it does burn hotter than gasoline.

  2. Jet fuel is pumped in lines underground to the airport. It does run through residential areas as well, and is pumped at over 200psi.

  3. It is impossible to tank the amount of fuel needed to support a major airport.

boosted ae86 with a 4ag turbo vs a na 7 hey it would win … but the corolla still wouldnt be fast.

i fell asleep after the first few minutes. sorry.

wow get all bent out of shape over a tv show hahaha

13

wrong

hydros > air ride/bags

14

i meant to say the car looked liek it had air ride not hydraulics

15

this just goes to show what hollywood thinks of the import crowd

16

BUT it’s TV and probably 75% of the normal US population watching the show, would not even know any of this to begin with. My husband tells this to my nephew about movies and TV

“It’s not real Tommy”

17

youre right but look what the movies did and then you had the trend follow each show. just like biker boys same thing now you got dumbass’s claming color and sets with bikes [not real gangs either] if hollywood didnt open it up it wouldnt be as untasteful as it is or was

    QUOTE]

extremely possible, The parts are available to not only get a gps location of your car from your cell phone but also remote start, lock, unlock, disable the starter and usually one or two more pulsed outputs available. usually a fast response as well. built into a lot of the gps tracking equipment on the market.

CSI in general sucks…
