:shades_smile: :shades_smile:
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift is a 2006 sequel to car-racing movies The Fast and the Furious and 2 Fast 2 Furious. It will not feature any of the original characters.
Plot outline
Sean Boswell is an outsider who attempts to define himself as a hot-headed, underdog street racer. Although racing provides a temporary escape from an unhappy home and the superficial world around him, it has also made Sean unpopular with the local authorities. To avoid jail time, Sean is sent to live with his gruff, estranged father, a career military-man stationed in Tokyo. Now officially a gaijin (outsider), Sean feels even more shut out in a land of foreign customs and codes of honor. But it doesn't take long for him to find some action when a fellow American buddy, Twinkie, introduces him to the underground world of drifting. Sean's simple drag racing gets replaced by a rubber-burning, automotive art form with an exhilarating balance of speeding and gliding through a heart-stopping course of hairpin turns and switchbacks. On his first time out drifting, Sean unknowingly takes on D.K., the "Drift King," a local champ with ties to the Japanese crime machine Yakuza. Sean's loss comes at a high price tag when he's forced to work off the debt under the thumb of expat, Han. Han soon welcomes Sean into this family of misfits and introduces him to the real principles of drifting. But when Sean falls for D.K.'s girlfriend, Neela, an explosive series of events is set into motion, climaxing with a high stakes face off.

Rumors
Given the nature of the movie, fans of the Import and Drifting Scene have cast a wary and sometimes critical eye on any information that leaks concerning the movie. Already, a few key pieces of info have leaked.
Modified Magazine pictured in their October 2005 editorial that two of the cars in the film were a Veilside RX-7 and a 1960's Ford Mustang Fastback with an engine swap from a Nissan Skyline GT-R. The article also mentioned possible appearances of other show cars from the various Tuning firms.
The website MovieCarZ was one of several car locating firms that posted a list of wanted cars for the film, mainly background and set cars. According to the Modified Magazine editorial, most of the "Star Cars" were ones from Tuning firms and already filled. Among some of the wanted cars on their list were the Toyota Corolla AE86 (a possible homage to the anime Initial D); mainstays in the tuning world like the track dominating Toyota Supra, Mazda RX-7, Nissan Silvia, and Honda Civic; Luxury and Exotic Cars (possibly Japanese luxury cars like the Toyota Celsior/Lexus LS400 and the Nissan Cefiro/Infiniti I30), RHD (Right-Hand-Drive) cars, and even Japanese Classics.
On the website Streetfire.net, spy footage from a Fast and Furious 3 set shoot shows a Nissan 350Z and a Ford Mustang Fastback in what appears to be Touge action.
The forums at Toyota Nation recently had a posting where the set of F&F: Tokyo Drift took over a portion of downtown LA. In the spy shots, a fleet of modified RX-7's, Nissan 350Z's, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolutions, and a fleet of Keicars were stored in a lot, while other shots showed the set crew putting up Japanese signs over existing signs and setting up shots
Trivia
Some scenes were filmed in downtown Los Angeles during January 2006 on Wilshire Boulevard, where a street was redressed to look like a Japanese location.
