Default Thanks to H-T Photography crew! PICS of my daily beater!

I just wanted to thank the guys at http://h-tphotocrew.com/ for a few great tips when shooting my car with the digicam... I learned some cool techniques and the photos came out pretty nice considering the bad lighting... I have about 76 pics of the car, heres a few samples !






In case any of you are wondering, it is of course a Lexus IS300 (2003) 5-speed with limited slip... future plans include 19-inch HRE's, a Supra TT shortblock, 6 speed transmission, and a Precision T4-based turbocharger. Comments are welcome.

Oh yeah! The camera is a Nikon 4300 (4.0 megapixel)... I am getting the 5700 for Christmas.

- Louis

KJEG, what do you think of Nikon cameras?

It seems that Canon cameras are way overpriced compared to what they have to offer as far as features are concerned.

Have you ever used a Nikon 5700? I'm seriously considering it...

http://www.is300.net although alot of the guys on there are completeley stuck up "my **** don't stink" ********.

Because they drive $32k cars, they think they are God.

http://www.clublexus.com is another good site, but is300.net has the most info on boosting the IS300. Good luck, PM me with any questions.

And oh yeah, I hope you have about $15,000 to spend if you want to boost an IS300 the RIGHT way The stock transmissions explode, and you must use a complete standalone to do it right (most use a Haltech E6K).

That's one nice IS you got there. Did you start out with a Honda or something? Keep us posted on your progress with the car.

OT: Candace Chou or whatever the **** (I don't pay much attention to import models) works at the Hooter's in Lynnwood, a city neighboring mine. At one point, she was trying to spit game on a friend of mine I think...haw haw haw.
