gazal yours looks like a ticket to a dance party hehe :D

dont u see, SAU IS a dance party, we listen to music in the car, we do lame dances in front of our car (well i do...) and we check out other cars while trying to look our coolest.... and everyones invited!1!!!!!111@!...

this is the way to go guys, vector image will give much less headaches... stay away from imagery unless you have a 100mb+ version... unfortunately its a lot of hard work with the pen tool;)

This is why these competitions don't get great results, nobody (professionals) want to spend hours on something their not sure is going to be used when they could be doing the same thing and getting paid... and no offence to the other guys that have had a go but something this big has major technical considerations...

That said Rekin has put quite a few hours in his illustration and I think its on the money... throw some type on there and she's done IMHO

Agreed with you mate - sadly to properly vectorize a photo of a car and get it to look realistic, takes far longer to pull off than what most people can spare...

These 2 were done in at uni, - the Rx7 took an on and off period of 6 months (engine bay was a KILLER)... the lambo slightly less because it was simpler, but still 2 months plus... if we're to get a realistic looking car, we have to make do with what imagery we can find... thankfully CS3 photoshop has a new method of enlargement that has impressed me so far... Youd wanna start with at least a very large wallpaper sized image though... either that or a file sourced straight from the digital camera... the likes of which would be very hard to come by I think.

Thanks for the insight boys :)

Something i really wouldnt know, nor most of the committee about such things.

Last thing we want it a crapola banner once its blown up.

Would the quality 'really' be that bad?

Have people seen the current thing we use?

Basically, if the source image is decent enough to start with, it will blow up fine. It wont be super crystal clear, but enough to look good from viewing distance...

Here's my 2nd attempt the top image is the one i posted ealier not sure which one..??? I also forgot to give credit to scotty014 for using his photo...

You really shouldn't be taking credit for a photo when all you did was post it up...Nikora took the photo.

id also like to add that id never ever take credit for someone elses photo, because seriously what would i get out of it absolutley nothing. i just like to collect pics, i do take some photos hear and there but im no photographer, all i did was put up some pics that looked really good to give people some good ideas on what to have on the SAU banner.

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
