The Farrell family FDs.... my R1 (487 rwhp), my brother's 27k mile SSM base (320 rwhp) and my dad's VR R1 (290 rwhp). You also can spy a Nardi steering wheel just arrived from Japan for my brother's car, and the set of tires from the Tire Rack waiting to go on my FC vert (110 rwhp )

Nice Rich! I knew you and your Dad had FDs but I didn't know you had an FC or your brother had an FD.

tayfun-bathurst, do you have more engine bay pics? Looks damn good.

For those who don't take a peek in my never-ending build thread, here are a few shots of my newest addition, the SakeBomb LED Taillights

Tayfun-bathhurst, that is probably the best non stock body FD EVER on this forum.

Not a fan of black FD's but WOW. That is simply gorgeous.

Dodge and burn layers, some contrast settings... desaturation settings... simple stuff.
(Looks like it could have been an over-processed HDR photo too.)

Na, those are just some ugly wheels that came with the car. I run them on the street because stock wheels don't fit with the Stoptech BBK. My track wheels are black RPF1's w/285 Hoosier R6's. I'll take some pictures with those on this weekend at Road Atlanta.

Ahh, thought the blured layer might have been a longer exposure with a zoom tweak or something.

I dont think so. someone was moving in the photo, and it has the distinct "HDR" movement to the person. Im pretty sure the zoom effect was created with a mask and filter.

I think he was referring to the engine just off the shot to the right. He likes to ride the engine like a bucking bronco, yeah I thought it was weird too.

I can't take credit. Rich was the one that suggested and organized everything. All I had to do was . You should see the engine bay. I can't wait for it to be done. I'm proud of the car and I think Rich is to. He did alot of extra stuff to help me with my injury. I owe him big. Thanks Rich. Thank you to Bryan, almost everything JDM is from you!
