Thoughts and comments welcome :)

Also, if anyone knows how to deal with very bright reflective bits (first photo) when using flash let me know :)

Tried lowering your flash exposure comp on your camera?

I put mine on -2 to avoid the exact thing youre talking about when taking pictures.

If I lower the flash to much it wont show the car properly, Its a highly reflective strip. Numberplates are also a problem for that mater...

Both the flash and exposure as set manualy also so no use for exposure comp there.

Maybe a small dome difuser on the flash might help?

Serg,

The only way to compete with reflective things and flash is to bounce it. Although i assume that wouldn't be appropriate as you would lose too much flash power at basically night time. i.e. flash bounces and spreads from above, otherwise it will always reflect :( Try diffusing it with a tiny softbox.

Dont realy have anything to bounce it off, even if I did have Enough flash power. Will try a small softbox when I find some $ for it and see how I go there

rear 45 and sun roof shots are by far the best. gay shadows kill the other interior shots, the exteriors are bit dark. good shooting though

Went for the Putty rd cruise here today. took a couple shots. Here they are. I avoided the camera for a change. it was nice to just drive and chill out for a change :)

Yeah I noticed that headrest shadow afterwards... Kinda fkd the whole thing.

Use cactus triggers... Have a spare set if ya need one

I do need a set, but dont have much of a cashflow at the moment. lol.

As for headrest shadow, ive done it before. Easiest way I can think of to avoid it is to drop all the seats back as low as possible and out of the way. Well, that or use more flashes?

Nice car shots in here. Need to learn from you guys how to take pics of cars.

Here is my attempt.. washed my car for the first time in months so took a quick snap.

Hey just a shot that i took on my weekend away at Yallingup. Was kind of just chilling on the beach. Shot posted as i've taken it. I still havent gotten a new lens cos other stuff keeps coming up.

A new lens would be nice but you don't need one as long as you can still shoot :)

that shot is nice. What i think would have improved it... I probably would have moved to the right a bit so you could see the beach join up, and put more focus on the footprints/waves. nice shot though, relaxing :D

thats not too bad a shot Sidd, least you have the front wheels turned properly. Nothing worse than seeing car shots where the wheels are pointed at the camera (im guilty of this, lol)

only thing I would have done different is a slightly lower shooting angle... and tell that dog to piss off out of frame :P

heheh thanks jay :) I wanted the dog in there for the added "awwwww's"... hahaha just joking. Yea it was just a point and shoot shot. Got all my camera stuff out of the car, and took a quick snap before I walked to take pics of the groom on a horse :)

- Just a random image below to show you..

I love Indian weddings! Everything about them is so cool!

It's good to see your car clean lol. You should wash it more often, it always looks good in that pearly white colour.

Will post up snaps of the new evo tonight!

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
