SA porn

Well Fall has come to Alaska - winter is just around the corner, while the rest of you lucky bastids continue to bask in summer. I spent a few choice hours when the Sun Gods were smiling to capture some imagery (and memories) of the SA before she's put to bed for 7 long months...

...and then I decided to go for the "dark studio" look - but, lacking said studio, I set up the car and my TV production lights in the back 40 and spent midnight till 5am trying to capture that studio "look" - bit hit-and-miss, what with all the damn trees in the background - and 5-to-15 second exposures...
Still... Stu Aull 80GS Alaska |
Very pretty Stu, nice photos. You Alaskans are good at doing things in the dark. That is one fine car.
|
awsome pictures! i miss my SA :(
|
nice SA. by the interior pix u'd never know those were taken outside. kinda need to adjust those rear brakes alittle so the e-brake don't come up so high.
|
this truly is BEAUTIFUL, i love the pics...mind if i steal a couple to use as wallpapers?
|
Stu, your dedication to this car is of a TRUE enthusiast! that car is lucky to have you as its owner and the pictures are truely breathtaking! thank you for sharing and please don't hesitate to post more if you've got them!
|
WOW!! Very nice. It really is unfortunate that you have to put her away for 7 months. It is the total exact opposite from here in Texas. I do not drive the SA22 for 4-5 months during the summer because it is too hot without AC.... I am finally gearing up for those cool crisp days of fall and early winter.... I can't wait!
|
Holy Mother of GOD!!!! Those pics have cured me of my recent depression and have motivated me to take the next therapy step - washing my cars. Anybody else find washing cars to be good therapy?
With your creative eye, are you for hire Stu? What a pro you are with a camera and lighting. Thanks for the medicine. |
That's some beautiful work, Stu. Make sure you bump a couple of those to the "calendar" thread - - they are pro-worthy!
|
Those are beautiful! Do you have any in higher resolution?

don't I know it! Cursed having to do that. But it was all I could do to keep her from rolling off into the trees! She was at the edge of a hill on the property.... shoulda jammed a rock behind a back wheel ;) Stu Aull 80GS Alaska |
Too Kind you guys!
;D Just doing what we all like to do: Spread The RX-Love! Mike- would lavish my modest photog skills on your SA twins ANYtime, brutha! - and yeah, I DO find washing the SA to be theraputic. I bullsh!t you NOT, that I try to keep her looking like that all the time - got a rep to maintain in this land o' Giant P-Ups! These were shot at UBER-rez so they could be poster-worthy if one was so desirous - Jeezus PM me with your email and I can fire you of a multi-MB version of your choice(s) cheers Stu Aull 80GS Alaska |
background set!

Stu,
Looks awesome! Those are some great pics. Too bad your season is so short, but you're not the only one. Keep those pics up on the wall, and wait for May... |
SA porn indeed! Great pictures Stu!

Cleaning cars is great therapy, although working on them sometimes is quite a headache! Very nice SA by the way. It's great to see another nice looking SA still on the road after all these 30 some years. How are the RX-8 seats treating you? Good clearance? How difficult are they to install, or are they a direct swap? Not that I don't love my black pleather seats...

I _LOVE_ them but the install was - er- not exactly straight forward. Fit fine, but floor adapt was a challenge w/o screwing up original mount points, which I refused to do. My originals were absolute crap - the old-school ass-bake-vinyl (not the later velour inserts :( ) -and the little rotor cut-outs are a kick.... Stu Aull 80GS Alaska |
Gorgeous pcs Stu, really nice photo work, and beautiful car too, wish mine were that clean looking. Definlatly saving those to my computer!

Here's my dilemma...
Attachment 721460 The passenger seat as well as the rest of the interior is 99% mint (I just ordered that new shift boot btw). The driver seat however is a little banged up as you can see in the picture! The black duck tape worked great until the summer heat made the glue gooey so now it wants to peel off and is sticky. My original plan was to track down a driver seat in great shape, but they are too scarce. Then I thought maybe I should buy a racing bucket or an RX-8 seat for the driver side only. I like the look of the 8 seats, but I just hope they are not hard to mock up. I don't like hacking up the originality of the cars bolt holes either. |
