If you’re painting the roll bar yellow and worried about the exact exhaust and wheel offset then it’s a no brainer to paint the engine bay black. If you paint the bay orange, you might as well change the cage to black or orange and it just keeps going. Internals on the engine, brake calipers (as long as they are finished similar) and suspension is all fair game.
Can we all agree that Craig needs to take the lead on this project? It's Craig's car, and he was the person who originally built it, why can't Daryl just listen for 2 seconds? Why is Daryl trying to change things (like the engine bay color)? I get that Daryl owns the shop. Fine. But Craig's suggestions should come first.
"We are gonna show you how to properly build a movie car replica." Proceeds to talk about the different engine bay color, coilovers instead of springs, completely different brake setup, changing the offset of the wheels,... Just call it by its name then: this will be a tribute car (undoubtly a well done one), NOT a replica. If everything is getting done the way Daryl plans to do, and then calling it a proper replica car, is a slap in the face of the people who devote many many years of their time to search the actual movie correct parts.
Yeah if it was just some guy but this is literally the guy who made the first one. So I think he alone is qualified to tell you what is and isn't allowed when replicating his own build 20+ years down the line.
No doubt the finished car will be awesome, a great part because of Craig's input, but the end result would be a (high quality, upgraded) tribute car, not a true replica. Craig emphasized on many occasions the difference between a true replica and a tribute car (nothing wrong with either one), so hearing Daryl making his own interpretation of the car and still calling it a replica of the movie car is just wrong in my opinion. There are many people, including friends of Craig, who devote a huge chunk of their time to source every screen accurate detail for their builds. This build is more a "let's throw some money at the project, attract some highly valuated names to help, and make a huuuge profit when selling" kinda thing. Again: nothing wrong with that, but calling it "the way a movie replica build is done" is, as stated before, a slap in the face of the people investing their time in their true replica builds.
@@bartschraepen2966 you know how hard it’ll be to make a 100% true replica? It would take them years if they try to source the exact stuff. There’s only so much you can do when literally most of the companies have been gone for over a decade.
@@mrstrawcloud well yes, that is exactly what I am trying to say: there are people who are going the extra mile and invest years of their time to find the exact parts needed, so to call this build a replica would not aknowledge the true effort that goes into making an exact movie replica. This build is a damn good tribute build, so it would be nice to call it that, and not “show the people how a replica movie car is made”. ;)
If the point is to build a replica, engine bay needs to be black. Period. If you aren’t claiming it to be a proper replica, then take the liberties you want. I personally like the idea of doing a proper paint job but not in the case of a replica.
I love the idea of this project... but Daryl, you can't keep saying you are showcasing how to build a proper movie replica car, and then override that by painting the engine bay orange because you think it looks better. I vote painting it black like the original. And regarding the resale value comment... Id think the type of person who would buy this car, wants it for being a replica car... and thus the closer it is to the original aesthetic, the higher the value would be. Just my thoughts. Keep up the great content Craig!!!
Idk as a massive fast and the furious fan, I think I’d rather have the car that looks more modern and done better. Some changes aren’t a bad thing. Throttl is making a replica modern version of the eclipse that’s wide body. Looks way better than the original.
@@imoffendedthatyouareoffended that's fine but then they can't call it a replica. "Modern interpretation" that's like taking a 68' mustang putting 18's on it and a coyote motor and calling it a Bullitt replica......no just no.
guys, you definitely need to do a black engine bay, and DEFINITELY yellow roll cage at least, keep it true, yellow roll bar at a minimum because even all the diecast toys i have of the orange f&f supra have a yellow roll bar, its gotta happen lol **to add, please dont drift this car, common now, this is the first f&f not tokyo drift lol. its supposed to be a track and drag car, dont do coilovers, do eibach lowering springs, keep it true, you have all of Craig's knowledge in his head.
"If you use airbags, I'm off this project. If you stance that shit, lose my number." I don't really know Craig outside of these videos but I fucking love hearing bluntness like that.
Make this car as correct as possible!!! If you deviate away on a little thing, it will snowball and at the end it will end up just a tribute. REPLICATE IT GUYS!!!
didnt you listen? Its not possible to manufacture an exact replica of the movie car. You can not get the right parts any more. They are discontinued for years now. You can try to get as close as possible to it but replicate - no! Also the technique has improved over the years in terms of turbochargers and stuff.
@@nfspeedy2 I mean the obvious changes. I would never color match the engine bay. The cage and yellow bits inside would stay yellow. Enthusiasts know these things.
@@StephenBrewer89 sure but you only know that the engine bay was black because Craig mentioned it. Unless you were on set back in the days and popped the hood on that Supra you would never know.
Dare I ask, when 2023 rolls around any plans to recreate the 2F2F Skyline..? It’s literally my #1 favourite car of all time and responsible for me being on my 4th R34 now.
Yes to cams, YES to black engine bay, no to extra steering lock. The blue shirt guy is out of his mind. Anyway, whatever. It's probably already done and just going to be sold off at the end so who cares.
My personal opinion; I like the black engine bay just because the engine and colored wire looms are showcased better. It really makes the engine a center of attention. However for the sake of professional restoration, proper factoy look, and resale value, I paint the engine bay the matching orange.
To be a true replica and screen accurate the engine bay should be painted black. However, I personally would want the engine bay colour coded, as its how it was intended / should have been. But then again I would have also had colour coded roll bars, door cards, steering wheel etc
I'd still paint it black but I'd use something like wrinkle finish paint, then use some gold heat shields on the firewall...That way it's still "correct" but also done in a way that "if we had time, this is how it would be done"

Watching this and the last video, seems like Daryl doesn't listen or pay attention very well as Craig says something and then Daryl immediately assumes something that completely contradicts what Craig or someone else just said. And Daryl's workers try to gently correct him, but you can tell they're scared of him because they don't want to call him out. Makes me cringe when someone is that over confident and doesn't know what they're talking about. For something as epic as a build like this, I would have hoped he would have done his research before starting the project and not this far in.

Also thanks Mr Lieberman for helping out with the build, providing vital info about the car and running out the specific parts and such etc. Hope it will all be done by the end of the year all the best :)
I love that this car is being built right. there needs to be more like this. They should remake the hero 1 Evo from 2fast after they finish the supra. That Evo was my favorite car and its influenced my taste in mitsubishi
Doesn't matter if there are pictures or not. If they paint it orange they are lying to us and that is WRONG! Craig would never do that because he's an upstanding guy.
If you don't have any pictures of the car, contact the photographer's that did the shoots. They will have a LOT more pics available that didn't make it into the magazine.
everyone's crying about Craig's up front personality as someone of his caliber, recreating this car is supposed to be critical fun of course but I certainly enjoyed all of Craig's input as a Supra MK4 owner
I think Hector was one of the main guys running that. I just don't think they used them on the supra. But you hear them talk about coil overs when Craig said Eibach springs and jesse said koni adjustables to save 2 pounds and help with the hole shot. The Motec System exhaust works best with Spoon engine and a t4 turbo (NOS only for experienced drivers).
mr lieberman, you are a person at the age of 31 i still look up to you for tast in cars, build your car the way you see fit, it seems like you know your cars best, and know how to pick them, toyota supra for the win
You guys are over thinking this...an exact replica ain't going to be worth shit, weather the engine bay is painted orange or painted black. This Supra was never used during production, so that will kill it's value right there. I think trying to find all the old aftermarket parts, besides the external bits is a waste of time and an impossible task. I think building it better than what it was while still looking the same externally is a better idea. I agree that a paint matched engine bay is a better idea. I love the idea of bigger cams and a higher redline as well. You already established that many parts are not available anymore, so being an exact replica is already thrown out the window. Replicate what you can and build better than the original.
@@johnsnow1355 how would it be a "lame losers build" if they have fully buily long block using modern tech and not period/dated parts? Pistons rods heads built bottom end...bigger turbo...custom intake manifold and exhause manifold...3 in tips.....aftermarket ecu with custom tune and dyno....e85 and pump ready with a methanol setup....short ram intake....lsd...DSS Shafts....T56 Tremec trans or they can go sequential or DCT....boost controller...bruh the engine build would be the focus not no goofy ass "lame losers build" color dummy
Gezzz old mate with the bald head needs to take a breath and shut up, build it as close as you can to the movie car, black Bay and yellow bits for the win!!!!!!
I'm confused by painstakingly recreating some parts (i.e. the wing, wheels) while completely changing other aspects (orange engine bay). If you're going off script (pun intended) then why not just make it a tribute car? Seems like a waste of energy to focus on certain details when the rest of the car will be visually different.
because the engine bay was never seen on camera and ONLY the hero car had a black bay. And it was supposed to be painted orange, they just ran out of time.
@@treefiddyzz3381 had one on my 2jz rx7. Literally the biggest pos trans ive owned. 1k more and buy a new t56. Everything else youll need is same shit youd need for either swap. Thankfully i tool t56 route on my supra
Who are you working for these days, Craig? Love watching your channel, this your full time gig now? I am a big car guy myself and I love hearing car stories from people over the years.
@@zachsmith1731 yep, willwood brakes are great, they're basically the American equivalent to brembo at this point. I have no idea how anybody can be weary about them.
Honestly, I’d also do the engine bay black, but do better quality. On a true replica, you don’t want someone seeing the original and then saying the replica is not accurate. Even the cams are questionable because it will chop differently and sound different
I'm sure Craig said in one of his vids that the charger used for the crash after the supra drag race, was restored, and actually has one of the proper engines in now.
Please paint the firewall black and the rolcage yellow, and even the rear speakers put then in yellow. For the resale a perfect copie will breng more money. even with the flows that on the the original car. That is the way i would like it.
@@craiglieberman forgive my ignorance, but then wouldn’t a Skyline tribute make sense then because they used your R34 in the same way they used your Supra?
@@ctrlcf the prices r34´s are going for, its really difficult as he stated, and they are considered collector cars now, supra 1jz and automatic models clapped out like this one still are kinda viable in terms of prices, and so make them more "doable"
Please a bit less cockiness, it’s hard to watch at times. The tension is noticeable, just have fun enjoy the process it will be a great result and things will fall together as they should. It’s hard to be on the same page before actually getting crackin
Well the guy doesn’t want to to do what Craig is telling him and Craig wants to do things the way he would have done it originally done it so I would be a little upset if someone told me how to build my car instead of me telling them how to build my car so the tension is just because the shop owner will not listen. Have a good day 😁.
@@cal.or7 We'll if I'm spending serious money and tons of man hours are going into this project, yeah, I would be a bit controlling too. Craig wants to build 'A' but then you got Mr. Clean over here trying to build 'B'.
Craig said it started as a white supra then yellow then orange so does it need to start as a white car or the red one that is smashed up on the trailer? Sounds like it will end up another tribute car with an orange engine bay. They should build a replica of the smashed one on the trailer.
If you’re painting the roll bar yellow and worried about the exact exhaust and wheel offset then it’s a no brainer to paint the engine bay black.

Craig, you gotta do the speaker surrounds yellow for real. Only true F&F fans would even notice. That’s like Easter Egg.

It’s not about making it accurate. It’s about making it properly.

I run my own digital marketing company. Web, SEO, PPC, paid social, etc.
@@craiglieberman that's awesome being able to work for yourself! Keep the videos coming! I love watching them!
It’s refreshing to see someone so detail-oriented in a world full of people that aren’t lol
I realized I have the muffler y’all want lol
Love this build
Hopefully they don’t cut too many corners
Little weary about the brakes
Why?
@@mrstrawcloud original car didn’t have wilwood
They seem to be not copying so much as just going with whatever works easiest/cheapest
@@Barton_Motors_Ltd bro the company that made those brake calipers seem to be long gone and I’m sure it’s pretty hard to find them online.
Wilwood are suppose to be great. Jay Leno uses them on all his cars. I don't think he would if they sucked
@@zachsmith1731 yep, willwood brakes are great, they're basically the American equivalent to brembo at this point. I have no idea how anybody can be weary about them.
Craig, I love it that your a JDM guy.
You should consider WRK brakes company from Poland. They can make custom brake calipers for you and I think the would be way cheaper than AP.
I didnt know Steve Wilkos was a car shop owner.
STEVE STEVE STEVE!!
I'd be so much more interested if they recreated Craig's Supra as it sat in the actual magazines....
Rebuilding popular old magazine cars would actually be awesome. Many of those cars were on kids walls throughout the 90s and 2000s.
@@ashimotosuperdeluxe1291 exactly. So many more important cars in tuner culture outside of the f&f cars
They open up the hood, Craig: My disappointment is unmeasurable and now my day is ruined.
Great vids, cant wait to see how this supra comes to life!
Honestly, I’d also do the engine bay black, but do better quality. On a true replica, you don’t want someone seeing the original and then saying the replica is not accurate. Even the cams are questionable because it will chop differently and sound different
I wanna see Dom’s Charger but actually with that huge Hemi in it
I'm sure Craig said in one of his vids that the charger used for the crash after the supra drag race, was restored, and actually has one of the proper engines in now.
Please paint the firewall black and the rolcage yellow, and even the rear speakers put then in yellow.
For the resale a perfect copie will breng more money. even with the flows that on the the original car.
That is the way i would like it.
My heart hurts everytime I hear them say " M K 4" 😔
Yup. Its Mark 4!
Craig are Yal going to do a eclipse build or a skyline tribute to Paul walker?
Never say never, but I don't think so. This one made sense given my connection to the original car.
@@craiglieberman forgive my ignorance, but then wouldn’t a Skyline tribute make sense then because they used your R34 in the same way they used your Supra?
@@ctrlcf the prices r34´s are going for, its really difficult as he stated, and they are considered collector cars now, supra 1jz and automatic models clapped out like this one still are kinda viable in terms of prices, and so make them more "doable"
they could go gtt,gts-t route tho, but it would be real hard for it to be a gtr
Please a bit less cockiness, it’s hard to watch at times. The tension is noticeable, just have fun enjoy the process it will be a great result and things will fall together as they should. It’s hard to be on the same page before actually getting crackin
Right? I noticed that too. No idea why act like that.
Well the guy doesn’t want to to do what Craig is telling him and Craig wants to do things the way he would have done it originally done it so I would be a little upset if someone told me how to build my car instead of me telling them how to build my car so the tension is just because the shop owner will not listen. Have a good day 😁.
@@uzqf2107 aren’t we all a bit of control freaks :p
@@cal.or7 We'll if I'm spending serious money and tons of man hours are going into this project, yeah, I would be a bit controlling too. Craig wants to build 'A' but then you got Mr. Clean over here trying to build 'B'.
@@Shorty15c4007 Mr clean lmao
Awesine collab!
AMEN to the corvette statement!
Sorry Craig, to be truly screen accurate it has to be half destroyed and come in on a tow truck. Haha good luck on this build!
Craig said it started as a white supra then yellow then orange so does it need to start as a white car or the red one that is smashed up on the trailer? Sounds like it will end up another tribute car with an orange engine bay. They should build a replica of the smashed one on the trailer.
Uh-sure. Making a replica out of a salvage title car. No thanks.
@@craiglieberman just messing with ya! Hope it goes good if there is one guy who can nail a replica it will be you! 👍
I thought they used a VIS Racing Carbon TRD-style Hood for the Supra.
Where is Jesse with the computer designing it?
Dude really wants them to care the rubber is getting replaced
Craig: "I try not to set foot north of orange county line."
I don't blame you Craig, I wouldn't either.
Hey Daryl, use Jesses supra build floppy disk as a cross reference😉
I wonder how many young Fast fans even know what a floppy even is 🤣I remember my collection of floppy drives and CDs
@@VernonDraws exactly 😆 my friends and i used to exchange porn on floppy disks 🤣
Love this. Keep it up guys
This will be awesome series!
craig should build his car the way he sees fit man? its his car, but i love a simple car, makes things more easy on the eyes n clean :)
Hahaha “BPU”…now THERES something I haven’t heard in about 20 years!
I hope u guys build a better replica then 500k Barrett Jackson version
That should be 1.5 mill
This Supra should be the next Eleanor.
