Took my new digi-cam out with me tonight. Its a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7. I always liked taking pictures at the gas station so here are a few gas station shots. Comments are always welcome, as are tips for taking better shots.

I hate this angle, makes the front look too high. Coilovers should help.


My buddy's KA-T 240SX, very well built car.

He's building the KA if/when it blows. He's only running 6 lbs right now on the stock block, makes for a reliable daily driver. Too bad it cant edge out the good ole 4 door M3 Originally Posted by 99grnmaxgxe

I love the factory staggered wheels, I dont have the heart to swap them out. Unless of course, it were a staggered set of BBS LM's or something of that caliber.
Coilovers are a must, I plan to have it dropped by the end of September. As for tint, I am tired of tint - I had it on my Maxima, and the Lexus and after about $500 (total after 3 years) in tickets, I think i'll go without tint on this one.
One more pic:

My friend's 350Z, ran a best of a 13.7, not bad compared to my best of a 14.5

stick with the ka-t. better torque curve and you can build more power if you build the engine correctly.Originally Posted by 99grnmaxgxe

Thanks for the advice, heres my attempt:Originally Posted by 86maxima96
when taking some shots, maybe do a more angled look. not just the side profile, but a 3/4 shot or something. gives it more dimension.

As per request: my friend's 240 engine bay shots:


Had to throw in a macro shot of the Greddy catch can and blow off valve in the background.

Too bad my 16MB memory card allows 4 shots when using 6MP mode. Thank you for the compliment, I reccommend the E36 to anyone looking to step into the RWD German scene.Originally Posted by 86maxima96
