sweet mate, looks 300% better than stock

No worky sorry mate

Ah an easy one hey....draw the exact size of the circle you want with the maquee tool then go to EDIT>STROKE choose the diameter of the line you want to draw (if the circle you want has a 10pix width then input 10 in size then choose where you want the colour to be, either on 10pix on the inside of the line or on the outside or half on out and half on in (center) EASY.....NEXT Cam

Thanks mate, yeh I know the issues with the 7m's, I modded one a few years ago for a friend....HKS metal gasket is on the way...so is 1bar

INASNT...yeh the "Before" photo's were taken on my old Fuji 2800zoom (2mp) and the new ones were on my latest toy...Canon 300d (6.3mp) to give you a better idea of quality from this camera here is another pic at 1/3 size and jpeg8 comp. Thanks Danners, I have been wanting to chat with someone who owns one of these....what is your email ??

Thanks guys, the car has the 7mgte engine....I doubt I will spend much on it, instead I will go for a 1J/2J sometime next year. Til then I want to get an LSD, later model front bar for fmic and the side skirts....OK, so maybe a little rice in your diet is good for you Cam

I have had the car for some time now and after some carefull research I have started the mods. I am very particular with what brands I use, I am NOT into rice and only do things that will actually improve the car (stickers excluded ) Basically the next three pics are of the car on the first day I got it and next to it is the shot I took today, note also what a good digi camera can do (real colour) Mods so far: Removed fog lights Tint Black grill Lowered (CUSCO street coil-overs) Wheels (18 x 8) Exhaust (APEXi 3.5" from cat) Filter (BLITZ pod) Lights (changed rear lights to later model items, this is my favourite mod so far)

Thanks mate, the rims are off the new/prototype Vauxhall VX Lightning Cam

rrrage: actually its the other way round i think The donor car had a longer wheel base so there is more angle from the photographer to the wheels....the wheel itself on the front is forward of center (standard on Porsche) as this is the Castor.

Here is the original Here is the Modded one Mods: 20" Rims and big brakes Front bar extended Front bar vent Rear bar extended Rear bar mesh Custom made side skirts Door mounted wing mirror Tint NO wing Side graphix Tinted brake light Bigger side vent on guard

Good comments Rezz

Here is the question ….. Where is the Australian Car Scene Headed? A short while ago the first ever D1 Drift event to be held in America was staged and was a huge success. While this wasn’t an official race for points in the Japanese D1 calendar some 16 drivers AND THEIR CARS flew to the states to do an “Exhibition” race at Irwindale speedway in California for an estimated 10 000 crazy Americans, who apparently have a thing for drift ??? but don’t we also have a thing for drift ??? So why is this craze taking off in the USA faster than here? A fair bit of the reason would have to be that Signal have been racing R33 and Civic Drag cars in the states for some time and have developed a good relationship with the automotive public, they have also been developing the scene in Hawaii for a while now as well both in drift and drag, so why not in Australia? For me, I think that one of the reasons is that while the Japanese easily lead the world in awesome cars they feel they have to follow trends in the States, this is obvious by looking at photo’s from recent events in Japan and seeing all the F&F look-a-like cars getting around, they think that the USA trends are the way to go and as such tend to leave us out down here. Please don’t forget the truly magical moment when the HKS R33 came to Australia, it was awesome to think that it was here and was going to race, while some saw the chance to criticise the workmanship and quality of the car I couldn’t care less … The HKS Drag R33 is in AUSTRALIA, just think, now in OPTION magazine there will be photo’s from an Australian event, how cool. Anyway, back to the question ….. Where is the Australian Car Scene Headed? First we have to look at the options open to the new enthusiast, for this exercise we will ignore anything that isn’t an import of sorts. The options are as follows. 1. Modified – Drag 2. Modified – Drift 3. Modified – Circuit 4. Modified – Cruise Hardcore 5. Modified – Cruise “Rice” DRAG Of all the motor sport based options this is by far the easiest to get into. For most of us this will only be a social type of event as there really isn’t a structured division for import cars. This is quite a shame as there are lots of quick cars in Australia and with the right backing and publicity I think it would do well. They have been running import drags in the States for many years and no doubt lead the world in FWD drag. DRIFT Of the motor sport based options this is the hardest to get into. Its not that it takes great skill, a correctly set up car and a cheap tyre shop but the fact that there is no where to participate in drift. At this stage our options are, illegal street drift which is um well … illegal. Track hire where the owner thinks you are there for circuit work, most track still don’t allow drift days cause they don’t understand it and think their insurance will not cover it … which it may not. Finally if you are lucky enough, a track day where it is all ok. Even if you find a track that will allow drift, the chance is that it will probably be the wrong design to learn on. CIRCUIT Unfortunately for those wanting to get on the track for laps, you soon find it takes a fair toll on your car and using your daily driver becomes a big gamble. If you have the opportunity to run a dedicated car then it is loads of fun. Some of the Queensland guys have been running out at Morgan Park near Warwick which is great. CRUISE HARDCORE I recon the biggest percentage of us fit in right here. We build a car that will be used primarily for driving around and hanging out in. The style is normally based on mods that “actually do something” rather than just look good. You normally spend a fair amount of time and cash on performance without going over-board and styling is simple. CRUISE “RICE” For those who follow the guys from the States and unfortunately now some people in Japan you build a car that no one likes …. Apart from other “Ricers” you spend loads of money on styling that looks bad, or worse, you don’t spend enough to have a good job done. Your performance mods are next to nothing and draw most of your extra HP/KW from the “Cool” graphics on the side of your car. So now is your chance to answer the question where do you want the scene to head, do you love a diet of the short grained white food or do you want us to head for more exciting and adventurous realms. Just saying you want something will not help matters thou, do any of you have some concrete ideas on how to advance the scene, I would love to hear as would many on this forum. Surely we don’t want the Americans having all the fun, until only very recently the drift scene in the USA was restricted to Naval bases where the Japanese influences were present, so how can they go so far in such a short time, from material I have read we cottoned on to the idea of drift well before them……Thanks for reading.

It's been a year since I sold it, I wish I hadn't but I had to at the time, if only I had waited two more months Oh well my Soarer is quite good and will be a long term project. Thanks for the comments guys.

Why change when it could look like this Actually I have seen those wheels in white and they don't look good.

A GTR at a Diner (1950's)

Right-o, back from holidays so here are my first three attempts ZOOLANDER GTR BB II GTR DIE ANOTHER DAY GTR Thank you that will be all for now.....Keep them coming peoples.

Sweet...this will be fun, great idea man

Was in the mood again tonight for more wallpapers ... one of my fav cars

This is just silly :headspin:

I think so I will have a look when I get home, I know where I got them so I can always get them again Stay tuned. Cam

Last one for the night .... I had started this ages ago but didn't have the pics to finish it .... I do now

My personal opinion is go with the silver .... when you have a dark car it is hard to see how low it is at night, thats why its good to emphasise the bottom of a car. My opinion only

Thanks mate, I added the GTR, "Spiderman V Godzilla" and the last part of the text at the bottom ..... it isn't the right font but close Cam

Here it is .... kinda plain like this I think
