Two GTUs...Touge Run...Too Much Fun. Part 2 (More Pics)

Yo,


More pics from this thread:


https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...hreadid=146739


Enjoy!




Looking out over the Valley...

See the slash in the mountain next to the top left corner of the sign? That's where the previous pic was taken.

Dana bombing by....

Me bombing by...

Chassis stiffness anyone?

To all the NA Haters...

*grin*

That road looks nice to drive on. From the looks of the road and they way it was setup, there isn't real tight turns...to go drifting...har har har. You guys are lucky though, that the roads are wide so you can park you car. Our touge, here in Hawaii, has some pretty damn narrow roads. Good fun to drive/drift on, but there's no place to park to cruise/hangout at. I'll try to get some pics of our touge.

Peace

Yep they are a bit pricy but if you contact ARD T2 (Rishie) he might be able to swing you a good deal. When it comes to suspension and wheels he is THE MAN give him a PM.

I originaly thought my car was stiff but after a day of racing shifter karts my GTUs rides like a BMW

Sorry bro, like Dana said it was kind of a last minute thing. Next time we'll let you know when Team GTUs rolls.

Did you want to become a member? It's easy. All you need is:

1. A GTUs.

2. A set of four Volk TE-37's, white, 16 x 7, +40 given to the Club President...me.

Told you it was easy! *grin*

very very nice, what kind of camera where u guys using, what kind of settings...great quality!! also how fast were the cars moving during motion shots...the mags say they only go about 20 mph but you guys look like you have some nice weight on the suspension. I wanna go out to some of the scenic parts of LI (maybe this weekend) w/ a friend for some moving shots like that

Thanks! We were using the Nikon Coolpix 4300 camera, a nice little jobby I just got for Christmas.

Oh, we only had to do 20mph?! Huh. We were doing just a little more than that...*coughcough*

The biggest trick it to follow the car through the shot. Click the button then track the car. That's what gives the car focus, and the wheels and background the speed blur.

I'm glad folks appreciate the pics!

great pics guys. Making me want to sell my TII and buy a GTUs. How are you guys doing? I saw Dana just a month or two ago but I near in the next city down (Milpitas). How have you been Kevin? Its me Kevin. Remember that little asian kid that organized the DeAnza AutoX BBQ. I haven't seen your car since but judging from the pics, it still looks as great as ever. I thought you were buying new rims, what happened? BTW, I still have pictures of your car from back then if you don't have any.

Kevin, I'm doin' good. I need more days like we had...just wrenching with a buddy on the cars...then heading for the hills. It was awesome.

Of course I remember you! You still the man for putting that on, I had a good time. Rain can't bring us down! *grin*

I still want to get new rims...I've decided on Volk TE37's in 16"...only like 11lbs. I'm waiting for a friend to move to Japan so I can get the super hookup!! Heh.

Are you going to go to the Thunderhill thing on the 25th? I think Seth and Mike are putting it on...I'm trying to get the day off. It's about an hour away...so if you want to crash at my place then caravan up...no problem.

Well...if you still /had/ your NA...you could have come. But no, you had to go and get a TII. And what happened on the way back from Sevenstock? Hmm...?

*nudge*

*snicker*

You still trying to sell it? Did Neofreak get it?
