ORIGINAL: 87 turbo II

I love the Rx-8s, they just need a more reasonable boost option. $5000 for an ECU reflash by HKS as well as $6,000 worth of turbo equiptment is rediculous. The 430 whp resulting isnt :)

here's some perty photos for ya guys


HEre's some "scenic" photos i took today!! i love them!!














 

get rid of that hideous bra if your gonna take pictures of your car!!!!

and -1 for chrome wheels.

umm no
 
and no..
 
there's damage under the bra from a friend of mine who fuked up my hood and i curb checked my car
 
and 2ndly the wheels came with my car and i like them so no it's not -1 -_- grr

if it wasnt for all those Cactie on those hills, that would be a sweet (!!) place to go biking!
 
+1 for a sweet spot for a photo shoot!

I agree, chrome is an out dated look that makes me think of C4 corvettes.

oh well to each their own i like my wheels.
 
thanks dentinger. actually there were people on the road (regular street) that were practicing their endurance bike riding, that's halfway to old tucson studios right there

While chrome is not really my thing anymore either, I like the wheels, but personally wouldn't want to have to take care of them.  ('Still think they're polished aluminum, which btw looks a awful lot like chrome plating.)
But I will say, that at your earliest possible convenience, get that bodywork fixed and ditch the bra.  Too....  '80's!
 
 

yeah give me the money and i'll get on it. They are alluminum wheels with a chrome finish. we figured it out. *nods*. Chrome polish still works.

Oh and the pictures look good, but try to get in the habbit of shooting with the sun towards your back, or shade the lens with your hand much like you do when you want to imitate a baseball cap to your eyes(or if your camera has a lens hood, use it). That lens flare is washing out your shots preventing a good popping contrast and deep saturation.

Example of difference:

No shading:


Shading with hand:


(please ignore the yellow color cast of these images, they're straight out of camera and I didn't correct my white balance on scene)

i'm not trying to be professional here stop nitpicking.

Hey, relax, I am just trying to hel pyou get the most out of your camera that yo upayed for. It's called constructive criticism, it's nothing to be ashamed about. The 8 looks good in htos epictures, and knowing Rx-8s I KNOW that's a very good specimin(you need clear corners though). I'm just saying, if you push the envelope a little further with what gear you have, you can make thos epcitures do the car more justice. I do love the car htough (despite the wheel disagreement) I respect you for what work you've done with it. I also love that you bought a rotary. I'm on your side though. I  love the car.

and to each their own as i've said. I didn't pay alot for my camera. It's a piece of crap. I bought my car the way you see it minus the bra and the painting and stuff. It came with tint, the exhaust and the rims. I didn't add those. 2ndly i don't have alot of money so all i want done to my car has to wait til i can afford it. As for the pictures. There was only one place ic ould turn off to take photos and that was the only direction i could park 'cause of other people parked there.

haha you're not taking my positive comments either......... um........... nice screen name?

lets say it like this.. both cars look nice and i want to aspire my car to look something like hers... well with new rims, tints and a new exhaust. IMO if you have a car and you love it its all that matters.  

 
Well said, Jaimie, and I completely agree with you.
