If the RRE testing of the RWD Evo 9 has anything to do with this, then the cars were converted to RWD make drifiting easier, not driver position. Just like the R34 was for the last movie.

Can we get back to making fun of the person who posted this. How in the hell did he think these photos proved that the cars were RWD? That's like saying, "hey that car has stickers and **** on it... it must have an engine swap." Sorry to harp on it... but I hate when people try to ACT like they know something.

if you look closely, the rear bumper are USDM style, not JDN. The movie shoots the Evo's with RHD and japanese license plates but with U.S.A. bumpers. Seems strange to me..

I know for Ronin they had right hand drive cars with fake left side controls for the stars. The stunt driver would drive the car from the right side while you had a close up of the star in the vehicle fake driving. Adds realism I guess, do you think they may be doing this trick for FnF3.

Don't be too hasty to judge it or judge it on the past movies. I have been getting almost daily updates from the drivers and the stuff they are doing is absolutely cool from a pure extreme driving standpoint. Yea the plot and the acting...well you know But I'll go for the driving FWIW

I do remember before FF even came out, street racing events were a normal thing here in Chicago, and ****, even cops would sit there and watch. But after the FF bang, and every kid with a beater comes out to try and IMITATE the retarded movie, it does ruin it for a lot of people. I may not be in the scene as long as some of you, but after the FF craze and the aftermath of it, the difference was really obvious.

hey, im sorry if people take offense to the movie and get all political, but i like to watch them. both to see cool cars, and then to mock the directors and producers glorify NOS. but honestly i go, and watch a movie, knowing that it is a movie and not to be taken all that seriously. i dont feel that it has a huge impact to society and think that when a hundred kids meet at industrial parks to race, its because they want to, not because a movie showed them how to do it.
