Well I'm going to post up some pics that I took today with my recently acquired Fuji Finepix 3800 3MP camera. Yeah I know it's not really a tech thing, but I will move the thread if I get an overwhelming response from you all to get this **** out of here. Actrually only a few of these pics will be repeats - 99% are all-new never seen before y0!

I have all of these pics avaiable in full screen size too if anyone wants a new desktop pic. IM me and I'll hit you up with your choice in full-screen size y0!



So anyways here's the pics - there's a shitload of them so sorry if you have dial-up. One thing to look for is the tightness around the front corner lens, bumper, fender area. You won't find any gaps, and the pics will show you what I mean. To me that's always a weak point for a lot of our 1992-1995 hatches.

First thing I did was wash the car:







One of my favs:





My current desktop pic:







I'm not afraid to post those ding-showing angles - there are none





Rolling:



















Engine shot:



Code check:







I jump for joy when it comes to my shitbox hatchback (I am actually over the car) :





Good one here:



A couple of quick ones with my boy, James - we're so hard-core serious hatch thugs:



...Or not. Oh and his car is faster than mine is.



Well I think that's it...for now.

I may add/delete a few once I proof-check it for doubles or missing shots.

Comments welcome.

Best 1/4 mile time to date is a 13.3@101mph but that was with a 2.0 60 foot time. That same night on my last run i pulled a 1.8X 60 footer but broke a clutch fork, so in essence it's a 12.9 car but I will go back to the strip and really PROVE it next time.

I also auto-X the car at SCCA Solo II Atlanta region events. I haven't had the car in a real class yet because I'd be in E-Mod which has no other car in it. I would have to put some interior back in to run Street Mod, but I simply won't do that.

I'll just run for fun I guess

 

Bad *** hatch!!!

Very Nice Picture Alot thoe but Very Nice!!!

 

very nice

 

as always.
i love the hatch.

you got hair now.
and some hops for a white boy/

 

flawless car Tom. You can jump pretty high.

 

i seriously hate to ask this....but
for us who worship your car could you possibly find a place to host all of the full size (well 1280 x1024 or something like that)
maybe in a big zip file.

just asking but i would like to put one on the desk top like everyday lol.

dont go out of your way to do though.

Thanks

Jeremy

 

what power plant does the white one have that beats yours?

 

damn thats a lot of pics/info...lookin good tho

 

 

Damn....you have some serious hops for a white guy! hehheeh Jk nice clean hatch...

 

I hate to say it because I know everyone else is, but in studying the pictures where you are jumping over your car you do get quite a bit of "air time". that third one looks like, with a little effort, you may be able to make it over your actual roof...again sorry to be say whats already been said but i'm impressed.

 

nice photoshop job on the jumping pics. Oh and if anyone wants a giant sized picture of my car, ill be more than happy to email them the pic.


cool!

 

Mine too!!! Isn't that crazy!?


Tom, my car has been on jackstands due to a combined laziness between friends over the past few weeks, and everytime I get down about it I just look at pix of your car and I feel better.

I wish I could make the 30mi drive more often to work on my baby...

damn. thats seriously really clean.

nice times too.

 

wow my fav. pic out of all dem !!!

 

Thanks for the kind words guys.

If you see a particular one then just quote it and ask me to send you the bigger version if you want one.

The pics you are viewing are actually reduced 33% so believe me desktops are avaiable. I usually reduce them only 50% and they require no stretching to fit and leave no apce around them that way.
