First real photo shoot with my new dSLR. Very excited with the outcome. The post processing was kept to a minimum, as I am not THAT great with Adobe CS2. I am working on it though so I figure it will improve in the future. Also below is my firs attempt at creating an HDR image. I shot it bracketed at –2/0/+2 and for a first attempt I don’t think it is too bad. I think it would be a better HDR if there was more going on as the photo is not too exciting. On to the pics!

It is a garage queen. It's home is the garage and the track. I use them to their fullest :)

Did you make the HDR in photoshop?

what are you call the "original" image? there should be multiple "originals".

nice pics though

I did them in Adobe Photoshop CS2. The "original" was just the "0" exposure :)

Same paint since 99 :)

Glad to hear it! It's a sick car but I was going to reccomend buying a helmet for DD'ing with all the meat tenderizers in there. :)

Nice ride!

Yes. I won't be changing the exhaust. I built it with my own hands and I love it :)

SFI High Density Padding is in the mail :) Won't help if I don't have a helmet on but will be better than exposed. Street driving is kept a bare minimum. Sometimes I bring it out to a meet. Maybe go to the Varsity this week since I want to use my new camera :)

The wing? It is a replica. With paint and mounting it ended up being 500 bucks. I also had them fill the "fake risers" and I think it turned out good.

I will of course be there. Somewhere up front because that is my spot :)

1.49ish on Kumho MX

That is with lots of dead rubber bushings, stock wing and no front downforce :) I now have no stock bushings left minus motor mounts(which are fresh) and front and rear elements. R Comps added too. See where I end up. Can't use my old camera mount so unfortunately I won't really be able to time it :(

I'm sure you'd still pull decent times with out that spoiler i really dislike the way it looks.

or

Just keep the lip spoiler on for daily driving!

I was gonna say, I have some 18x8.5" BBS RC's that would work beautifully on that car...they are LIGHT..around 17 lbs.

02-28-2008, 11:41 AM
Too big. I have a lot of 17" track tires. I don't have the power or need for 18's :)

What spring rate is on the front?
DinanM3atl
02-28-2008, 03:36 PM
Front -345
Rear -515

Shocks were shortened and revalved by Bilstein to better go with the springs since they are extremely short springs.

DinanM3atl
02-28-2008, 07:38 PM
Alright. I dunno. I rarely am looking at what speed I am at. Seems to be the thing to do so you can tell everyone... In the ballpark of 120-135 somewhere. No exact answer.

No exact answer.With that spring rate and a splitter that sticks out that far I bet you'll be sitting on the bump stops at 100mph or less...that's not a good thing.

02-28-2008, 10:01 PM
We shall see. Buddy wasn't and he was using the same splitter...

Someone gets pictures there so I will see.
