[-TRM in TPA-]

Hello all, its been a while since I visited this board since I no longer organize any of the import meets here in Tampa, but it looks like things have been going pretty well. I abandoned the idea of picking up an FD as a second car a year or two back but I'm still an avid fan of the cars.

Anyways, long story short over the past several years I've been developing several annual wall calendars for a couple of the online communities that I am involved in, like TwinTurbo.net and My350Z.com and M3Forum.com. They have gone over well each year and this year my buddy Brian who has an FD asked me if I would consider doing one for the 7's. So, here I am sorta feeling things out as to what y'all think of the idea. I'm not trying to sell anything, just guaging interest and seeing if any of y'all would like to contribute photos. Of course if it comes to fruition anyone featured would get copies at cost.

The calendars we have allready done this year are setup to run from Februiary to February so there is plenty of time to get an RX7 calendar off the ground if the interest and participation is there.

Here are the submission specs used for the Z calendars.

hey bud, here are pics when the car had 11,000 miles on it, it currently has 25,700. in the pics the car is stock with no aftermarket parts. car is a 93 the paint is montego blue with tan interior. the pics probably dont meet the size requirements that you asked for (dont know much about it lol) but i thought why not give it a try.

Not my personal cars, but pix of FD's none the less to help you out in making the calendar. I took these pics from many different car shows and meets i've attended. I have specs on all these cars, so if you decide to use one, let me know. I have the original 3mb sized pictures, if you need them just shoot an email to me to Onesweet7@gmail.com as these were resized to fit in my photobucket. Also, I have multiple angles of each car. Usually about 10 pix per car. I just made a calendar myself at walgreens about a month ago with the same idea, but wouldn't mind buying another one to help out.

The camera used was a sony 5.1megapixel digital camera, regular ole Carl Ziess lens. If any owners of the cars that I post wish to not have your cars here, just pm me or post and I will delete the pic















(LS1 powered though)


















I can get more pix of the new 2006 Amemiya GT car if needed
