FD Photoshoot Pics (56k die)

Some pics from last week. Drove to south Atlanta, where a friend took some great pics of my FD and my friend's nice super-charged Miata.

Enjoy.





















-


Same person that took my sig too.

Notice the similarities? :P

I'm satisfied. Now, I'm just tryin' to get him to send me the full-res version of the pics so I can switch off which one I want to use as my wallpaper. lol

P.S. Yeah, there's a little bit of chipped paint on the fender. Damn 18's. I told him to Photoshop that! LOL

Awesome car man, I love the rims and gauges very clean although it looks like you need some coolant =P... that miata aint bad either, the wheels on it are great. Dont worry about the chipped paint on the fender man.. i have 18's on my fd and no matter how hard i try sometimes it just seems to hit, as you can guess i have chipped paint in the same spot pretty much... keep up the good work bro.

lol, the coolant gauge is hooked up to that particular sending unit, so it's always on.

>_<

Thanks for the compliments, though! I'm a proud owner.

weren't you in a rush to sell this car? Looks nice either way, but just wondering because I have a friend that was going to buy it from you.

Very nice photography... I will have to save a few of those. I always love night shots. What camera were you using?

That front end makes that miata look pissed off!!!

Nikon D-50 was what my friend was using.

I love the front-bumper on the Miata too. Don't remember what kind it is, though.

The rims are HP Racing, yup.

Gauges aren't APEXi, though.

I just checked my e-mail and I have a receipt for the plane ticket of the person who's coming to get her tomorrow, as a matter of fact.

Comin' down from PA, drivin' her back.

I'll miss her...that's why I wanted my buddy to take these pics of her, so I have something to remember her by.

*sniffle*

Good-bye rotary....for now.

Nikon 50D is a sweet camera

I was more set on a Canon EOS-20D, but after seeing these I need to take a better look at Nikon.

Nice pics. I have those same wheels on my car and they are 18's and I have never had a problem at all with them. And the roads get crappy here after the winter with all of our potholes and bumpy roads.

What are you running for suspension?

I have the Eibock springs. Does your car have the stock springs or is it lowered?

Stock springs on mine so that is the difference. Although it looks like I could go about another inch comfortably and not have a problem. The fronts I don't mind how they look but the rear needs to be lowered on mine.

Do you have a different set of center caps? Mine have black writing on them.
