Trash can tripod, it rocked a little in the wind, that's why some are a little blurry, too lit to do what i wanted, but i didn't feel like driving around looking for a better source, this was a few blocks from my house.






I might do some "appearance" modifications when i max my engines internals and quit breaking ****.

 

get a ex lip.

 

I don't know where mine went.

It wouldn't fit anymore anyway, i had to cut the bumper out through where it attaches.

I'm looking at Jun's lip, flame it if you want, i just want something with a little more than Mugen or Spoon, aside from it being on every Civic, i wish i could find a picture of it painted or atleast mounted right...

 

are those the fitipaldi/oz wheels???

15X7???

If so...sick

 

cool car. sucky pictures

 

I believe they are, no real markings or center caps. They match up well to pictures i've seen of Fittapaldi wheels.

I'm not a big fan of them, i like thin spokes, but they get the job done. I'd personally be on steelies if my car came with them, it came with 17s, i sold them, ran steelies that kept going flat due to a damaged lip on 3 of the 4 wheels and holes in the tires (none of the tires matched either). I figured since it was time for wheels and tires, i'd buy those, they cost me about the same steelies would have.

 

I like the car, I hate the pictures.

 

i'm sorry, but the pics are really, really, not cool

watch out for your own shadows and avoid street lights being exposed in the pictures

That's why i said "budget".

I'm on empty, i packed up a trash can for a "tripod", got there and thought "This place sucks", but i didn't want packing up and getting my camera charged be wasted, so i snapped some shots anyway. I would've drove elsewhere if i had enough gas.

shadows is the really only thing. External light is needed, not to sure what camera your using but if it has an iso setting for night shots turn it down. But i understand since as you stated it was windy and can't have a longer exposer...longer exposer does'nt mean iso 1600. You have some good work in there just have to bring it out by croping what you might want actually in the picture.
I say good job for a windy night.
general idea what i mean

well if they are fitipaldi wheels then it will say OZ where the center cap would go and it would say FITIPALDI on the front of the spokes. If it dosen't then you have the American Racing copys of the rims

 

I see what you mean.

I had the ISO set to 200, it's either 100, 200, or 400.

I had the exposure in "Long Time" mode. I was going for the effect of day-time at night, but because it was so bright, i had to lower the exposure to 6" (whatever that means), the longest is 12", i should've lowered it even more, but it's hard to tell how a picture turned out on a display the size of a soda cap.

The pictures i've seen, some have "Fittapaldi" written on one of the spokes, the older version doesn't.

These are the only ones i can find through a Google search (i wish i could see under the center cap).

 

That would look so sexy with an ex/si lip

 

its better in CF

 

I don't like carbon fiber lips, and i generally like them color matched.

 

I like those wheels a lot. Where did you get them for cheap like that? (or are these not a rare/expensive wheel?)

Photos look like the ones taken from Lunar Landers, except in color

 

I thought they were Fittapaldi, but i'm finding out they're likely an American Racing knock-off. I found them on eBay for $200 shipped, i don't really like them, but they were the most affordable thing i could find at the time, junkyards charge $40 a wheel for steelies and i'd still need tires, so i decided to upgrade for $10 more. I'm really wanting some 80s dish mesh wheels with a gold center.

I like pictures that look "fantasy" like, it's hard to achieve, it takes a certain kind of lighting to get it looking right without grainyness or just too bright. It was too bright in this location, so i turned the exposure down and didn't achieve the look i wanted.

Looks decent though. Function over fashion, right?

 

Nice.. foglights with front mount.. what kind of intercooler did u use and did u have any trouble making the foglights fit with the front moutn?

For now, yes, once i get it running well, all the bugs worked out, and a steady job, i plan getting a few little appearance things. Dish 15" mesh wheels with a gold center, Jun front lip, some type of rear lip or something, i figure by then i'll have blown my motor and will be starting over again with that.

This will never be a show car however.

No problems at all making it work, the piping fit perfectly in the groove between the lights and the lower part of the bumper. It is spaced with two bolts and a thick washer to bring it down some, the holes i drilled made it touch my radiator support and i had to bring it down that much (about an inch).

SSAutoChrome intercooler, i love it, i touch the end tanks, one is hot, enough to not want to leave my hand there, the other side feels cold to the touch, even on an 80 degree day. It's seen 30psi, i'm very impressed with it, i've even dropped it a few times.

Please PM me whenever you decide to get rid or them, I don't care what they are, I'd definetly rock them
