Stupid_fast Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 If this is true, then 510's will be come increasingly popular. Hopefully the market wont be insanely overpriced after this, though. And this movie will be epic, not matter how bad the storyline. edit, NOOOOOOOOOO remember when the first fast and the furious came out? and every douchbag on the planet wanted a riced out honda civic? goodbye market........... Oh so thats why there are so many damned riced out civics. Quote Link to comment
The Dat-side Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 let the toy sales begin!!!! Didn't RadioShack have X Mods from the other movies? So fucking psyched! Quote Link to comment

Oh hell yes say goodbye to my car budget. :( Oh also, in the first movie a little ways through bumblebee transformed into the new 2010 prototype camaro... Is it possible that nissan has a 510-based concept? Just a thought, dont quote me on this. Quote Link to comment
FoxyRoadster Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 The biggest question is whos datsun did they buy? I know it was one of you guy's just look at the wheels! Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Didn't RadioShack have X Mods from the other movies? So fucking psyched! ya having all the movie toys would be cool but at the cost of DB inflation :( I could go without toys. I really hope Im wrong and it comes out and theres sweet toys and non of the douchbags pay attention and we can go about regular business Im just think about all the 510's that will be picked up by them after seeing the movie only to be crashed, riced out, or abandoned as projects..... left to rot Quote Link to comment
oe3 Posted July 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 The biggest question is whos datsun did they buy? I know it was one of you guy's just look at the wheels! My guess is that they just took the 2 wheels from each of the two cars and swapped them instead of trying to find 2 matching sets of 4. Evan if it is Bumblebee I doubt it will get a lot of screen time as a 510. Quote Link to comment

MicroMachinery Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 The countdown begins.. get your 510s while you still can. Glad I have all 4-doors.. they're gonna be the first ones to go. :cool: Quote Link to comment

MicroMachinery Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 remember when the first fast and the furious came out? and every douchbag on the planet wanted a riced out honda civic? goodbye market........... Hmmm.. I dunno though man. I'm sure everyone WANTED a 3rd Gen. RX-7 or Supra, but how many do you actually see running around? You still see quite a few Eclipses. I only watched the Rice and the Ridiculous one time, but I don't remember seeing too many Civics in the movie. I could be wrong. I think people were already up to their douchebaggery before the movie. Street Squirrel magazines were already out. Now they just all have huge tailpipes and ground lighting :rolleyes: . "LOOK AT MEEE!!! I'M LOUD AND OBNOXIOUS!!!" Bleeeehhhh!!! And besides, that scene was already on it's way. That movie just busted it wide open and made it blow up faster. Look at all the sweet aftermarket and JDM Nissan stuff we have available now because of it (Probably be quite a bit harder to come by an SR20DET or an RB-whatever if the "ricer" scene hadn't gotten so big here..) I also believe that you're forgetting one thing; that it is WE that possess the Datsuns. Not ALL of them, but alot of em. If anything, I'd think that the screen time and inherent demand would free up some more aftermarket attention for OUR Datsuns(Not to mention the people that have em may discover and appreciate what an awesome car they actually have!) So our meets get bigger and the following more diverse; GREAT! Another thing; it's not a stupid street racing ricer movie, it's a stupid robot movie. At worst someone will probably paint their car up like the robot and some shirts will come out. I'll buy the shirt and wear the piss out of it. And above all that, after my girlfriend sees a 510 Bumblebee, I'll get away with a WHOLE lot more shop time ;) Quote Link to comment
The Dat-side Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 +1 for after market attention. I figured the rice craze was cause the hondas are easy to come by and cheap. Quote Link to comment
rzrdisco Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 +1 for after market attention. I figured the rice craze was cause the hondas are easy to come by and cheap. That's entirely true. I don't think people will go goo-goo-gaa-gaa over 510s when they search craigslist and find heaps of shit for sale. Or that all the people on the east coast won't find 510s :P Quote Link to comment
'70dime Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 I think this is a catch 22. Yea the fast and furious did bring the aftermarket in like crazy, but the honda civic is still the most common car stolen in the US. Right now I can drive my car to the movies, and watch a movie without worry. thats what I worry about. Quote Link to comment
wicked_wagon Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 I'm new around here but I see it as a benefit to the community Datsun! and that's why I'm an owner of a Datsun is a great car is a headache sometimes but worth it, now to wait for the movie and the appearance of the new bummblebe if it is. sorry my english =/ Saludos!

zerow Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Im just think about all the 510's that will be picked up by them after seeing the movie only to be crashed, riced out, or abandoned as projects..... left to rot Total "Bunny after Easter Syndrome" Every kid wants a rabbit after Easter because they're cute and cuddly. After the fun has worn off from the cute and cuddly, they smell, and basically eat pellets and poop the same pellets... My fear is parts prices. Every L-Series needs basic necessities. Don't need all of those parts going through the roof because of rarity or notoriety from the movie. And maybe I should have kept my 610 sedan yellow... :huh: Quote Link to comment
RadioLobo Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Its gonna be cool driving my 510 to go see the movie :cool: Quote Link to comment
The Dat-side Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Let's get a ratsun group to see the movie and well take shots each time the 510 is on screen. Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Why hasn't anyone suggested that this is meerly a cheap car that they are going to explode,,, or crash.... I would be suprised if it gets more than 2 minutes of film-time If it is a main character in the movie: then that car on the trailer better transform into a SR20 swapped beast......... if hollywood starts destroying rust free 4 doors: we better start destroying hollywood with our Datsuns Quote Link to comment
fastdadd Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Let's get a ratsun group to see the movie and well take shots each time the 510 is on screen. maybe it will be at the drive in Quote Link to comment
