I think the fast and the furious followed the ricer scene, not the other way around.

I disagree by a large amount...The ricer scene was beginning and more or less underground to "mainstream" America before Fast and Furious. Fast and Furious made the scene mainstream and started the enormous ricer craze that followed the movie for atleast 4 years.

Yes, people tuned imports before FATF, much like people played poker before Moneymaker and flyfished before ARRTI, but it was the Fast and the Furious that made the sector what it was during that time period.
