It was in only one scene from the movie, in one of the first drag races, and was driven by Ja Rule's character Edwin. It was sort of a throwaway car, as it had little to no impact on the plot and was never seen again. So you might not think that the recreation of a car that played such a small part would be desirable. This one *might* change your mind, though. Currently for sale on [Facebook Marketplace]() is an Integra GS-R recreation that's so accurate that it'd be almost impossible to distinguish it from the real one without comparing VINs. Everything from the red and yellow livery to the Wings West body kit, to the yellow underglow is movie-accurate. It even comes with a Phat Farm (remember Phat Farm?) jean jacket like the one Ja Rule wore in the movie. Not the *exact* one, of course, but the same kind. What's cool about this car is that it isn't just a visual recreation—it's a mechanical one, too. The car used in the movie was rented from an enthusiast named Bill Kohl, who's publicly discussed both the car and its involvement in the movie since it came out. Since the specs of Kohl's exact car are public, this car's owner was able to mod it in similar ways. It isn't exact but it's close, and modified in the spirit of the original. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Its B18C1 1.8-liter has DC Sports headers (same as the movie car), a Skunk2 intake manifold (the movie car used AEM), and a Vibrant Performance axle-back exhaust (the movie car's was DC Sports), among many other things. It even has white Momo GT2 wheels with red lettering and lugs. The biggest visual giveaways that this recreation isn't the real deal are its yellow Recaro seats (the movie car had red/yellow Momo seats) and the spark plug wires (the movie car's were yellow and uncovered, while this car's are blue and covered). But even some of the most die-hard *F&F* fans won't know that, as they aren't seen in the movie. You'd have to look up Kohl's exact car to know the difference. The seller is asking $20,000, which seems like a lot for a mere recreation of a throwaway movie car. It also has a salvage title, which isn't necessarily a dealbreaker but could make it more difficult to register in some states. However, this Integra does have an extensive list of mods and is a very faithful build. The price might be right for a die-hard *Fast and Furious* fan who wants to relive coming in last place in a drag race against Brian O'Conner and Dom Toretto. *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
