Hi all

I have been talking to the Editor of HPI and we have come up with an idea to make a competition for photographers. The top 10 people will have there picture of a car they have taken in HPI. (May in the future be used as a feature but this will be the decision of the editor)

Please remember they need to be named by your real name and a brief description of location and car.

Remember this is for fun and even if you are a professional or a novice submit some pics. Please PM me with your picture 3 picture Max in High res please. 6meg camera minimum.

Happy snapping

As many know Ben is no longer the Editor of HPI,Zoom Hot4's, Australian 4wd monthly, Street ford , Street commodores. The new editor is Jason Round and I have been speaking to Jason for a few months now, proven that I and Adam where able to get HPI and Ignition DVD to support the club at the resent show n shine in NSW would indicate that I have atleast spoken to them.

I am sure that Jason would not mind a verification but I cant see the problem with submitting a pic.

Any pics will be viewed by Jason as he is the editor will make the decition on what pics will be viewed.

Please keep this in mind that this is a bit of fun for those that would love to have there own car or a great pic in a magazine which is seen all around the world.

Regards Andrew

Here is a pic I took on the freeway to ballarat, i'm driving and taking the pic of a mates Stagea. I'll provide a link as I think the pic is too large but I think its a beauty. He does aswell, its his desktop background.

Pm me with some details of the car and the location please

good luck bud

I am getting a lot of emails Man I knew I should not of given that out. Anyway I would like to thank all those that have already put through some pics.

I am getting allot of questions and really it is not that difficult I am sure most of you have Digital cameras

I am unsure of the size of pics he is going to be using but I am sure even if you send in a 5meg photo It will be fine for the smaller pics.

Since it is going to be in HPI it has to be a Motorsport / Import Picture.

4 weeks to get the photos in it does not matter if it is a standard car or even if you are not a pro with the camera the point is to get creative with your car or a friends car and see if it makes it.. Guaranteed 10 spots.

If anyone has doubts about this drop Jason Round a email or call HPI

Hi all

Jason wanted me to let you know

the comp is about the photography and not so much the car, ie. Good composition, lighting etc.

aahh crap...oh well,might try some at the auto salon this weekend then :)

wasn't having a go before, just suspect of anyone saying 'give me your photoz' and then not saying who/what/when/why/etc.etc.

i get a bit agi when i dont get enuff sleep. plus being in WA i wouldn't know what goes on in the rest of OZ. (there good at that over here)

hello everyone

im new here and would like to enter this competition

i have been shooting drift since december last year, some of my work has appeared on driveline.net.au and i did the photoshoot for westdrift.com a few weekends back

here are my entry's for this competition

all taken using canon 1dmk2n and sigma 70-200, manfrotto monopod

all taken at WA drift battle round 3 - 15th june 07

for those of you in the know - EXIF data should still be attached

Andrew, just a few questions:

- do you have a cutoff date? this would be helpful

- can you tell us what the photos will be used for? do photographers retain repro/copy right?

- are you sure you want 3x6meg photos? that's an 18 meg email...

cheers,

sig.

They need to be of desent size as they need to be placed in the Mag I am not sure how Jason is going to do it but as stated at the start it is allowing the to 10 pics to enter.

    • I'm thinking that this is such a small part of the problem that you could easily forego the vac pump and just achieve 90% of what you need, which is keeping the gate open when off boost. It's not as if there are not already techniques to keep a gate fully closed under boost. After all, you have boost. Just use a wastegate actuator that will allow you to apply the boost on the appropriate side, just like every external gate out there.
    • Heres another fitment photo. redrilled the pattern to 5x112, and threw my audi´s rims on. had to touch the upper control arms with grinder, because the "sharp corner" was sticking about 2-3mm on the tire path. i have the "fender lip" mostly cut off, otherwise these (too) would contact with it. 20x9.5 ET25 rear    265/30 20x8.5 ET20 front    255/30 they are temporary, and look too big for the chassis. searching for 19s to it.
    • From experience, it will come back to bite you haha.
    • Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
