Damn I would like an NSX, and a 930, and an E36 M3, and a few other cars

A lot of these automotive "photographers" need to step away from Photomatix and Photoshop. That old RX-7 looks so out of place because of the use of the blur tool, etc.

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Pretty sure that's just a big aperture lens....

If you have the money, you might be able to convert your car to the coupe.

It would involve cutting and replacing the roof and rear end of the car. I could just buy one for next to nothing. It's just that I wish I'd started with a coupe.

Pretty sure that's just a big aperture lens....

It's definitely photoshopped, they didn't do a very good job.

Seconded, and it looks ghastly. The car, on the other hand ...

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

Yeah I see it now Had to zoom in.

I saw a really nice Toyota Supra today, it was sweeeet

 

[eSZee]

No.
If it was a 1.0 or 1.2 lens, the images in the back would just be blurry blobs. You wouldn't be able to see the shapes so clearly.

Can someone help me understand this fad of putting stickers all over the thing that's supposed to be clear?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Or the stupid long exhaust?

Or the stupid long exhaust?

That would be my first concern...

 

[Kent]

Thanks for those sti pics on the previous page deadcell. 👍
Some other great stuff here too, think I will be in this thread lurking much more often.

Sticker bombing.

Some trendy hellaflushjdmilleststancefitment crap. Looks stupid. Seems the only people that really do it are people who are into cars for the "scene" and not because they're gearheads.

The exhaust is supposed to be boso style. Doesn't work on an Impreza. That car is a pile of fails.

 

[Time_Attack]

My first thought looking at that exhaust is that your buddy gets a few girls around the back of the car and then you give it a few quick revs. Cheap up-skirt maybe?

That or he shopped for exhaust tips at the pipe organ store.

 

[misnblu]

Completely unfunctional crap like the exhaust irks me to no end.
I can imagine the owner or his friends have run into those multiple times and probably got cut by the tips. Morons.
And the sticker bombs is useless as well. Why do this?

I completely agree. Thanks for that. 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

That picture needs a big "FAIL." plastered on it.

 

[exigeracer]

Cute as a button.

 

[motortrend]

MX-5 perfection right there, OK, maybe the car in red and the wheels in black. I'd also like it to have a turbo.

Or the polished C4 corvette wheels it has. I was at this car meet when this picture was taken

You must lose a lot of sleep at night with all the people across the world not modifying their cars in the most functional way possible, right?

 

[speed junkie]

Cute as a button.

That front bumper resembles mine in how it was clearly damaged when the license plate was mounted in the middle then heated and worked in an attempt at fixing it. Doesn't work well with these bumpers. But yeah, miss driving my car.

Thanks for the pic of the f40s and mclarens. That might be my new background for the ipad!

I think I found the beginning of the stretched tire look.
Everything is the damn ring's fault.

Clean, simple, perfect.

It's not a "look", it is a functional technique. You can overdo it obviously, but before the days of modern tire science, even F1 was stretching sidewalls because there were measurable benefits to increasing sidewall stiffness in that manner.

 

[speed junkie]

Wachutalkinbout. They're stretched because they're spinning, even more so because they aren't on the road.

Same high speed section in the Nurburgring...

Lower speeds at Monaco

It's not a "look", it is a functional technique.

The only function it has these days is is allowing a civic to tuck 10" wheels and not rub on the fenders.

Tell that to that to World Time Attack's Cyber Evo team. Some stretch is still beneficial.

That black/white S2K looks really nice. Also, the F40 engine and 965
