yep! looks awsome. The suns reflection off our atmosphere boucing to the moon give it the real deep orange effect. (like a sunrise on earth)

can happen twice a year...so they say......

The photo was taken using a tripod and 8 second exposure. focus set to infinity.

Turned out better than I thought it would :)

Luke n I went to Mt Lofty to see it, fair few people up there and lots on side of the road on way up. Looked pretty cool, listened to radio on way back, they were saying out south or on the beach wouldve been a good spot.

Either way looked pretty cool where we were, could even see it from my house pretty well and im right near the city.

The best place to see the eclipse was out my way they were saying. (gawler) It happens every seven years.

Its commonly refered to as a blood moon. Isaw it back in 2000 and was just as clear as it was tonight.

Its incredible how fast the eclipse takes place. Was watching it in the GTR on the way home from work (sitting at the traffic lights that is ) Amazing! :)

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
