That will be pretty awesome man. Definitely a good idea to be able to monitor that stuff under extreme conditions.

My plan is to eventually get a stack cluster cause i cant bring myself to mount a bunch of gauges in the car.

Yeah Id like to own a DSLR but Im not interested in photography enough to spend that much money on hardware. Something similar to the FZ7 but obviously something current with more features is where Ill look when the time comes.

Lighting for those shots was MINT. Perfect example of light and the user make good photos not a camera. They came out great Your gonna make me do the double din thing now too. Make it the SHG Standard lol.

Thanks Mike... Yeah they definitely came out nice. Just happened to be the perfect time of day for lighting, plus is was overcast. A bit of processing also helped with lighting and colors.

Im thinking about something like your camera, I love the lens on it. How much was it?

We should make it standard lol, along with POR chassis

Photog def makes the shot! I suggested the camera since E's cam is messed up as mentioned. His shots came out great.
DSLR + photog = better photos... but you can def get great results with a good P&S. That's what I used to do back in the day. Composition, a tripod and you can get some great photos!

x2 if i can get a 2nd car this winter. I dont think Ill do the chassis yet, as the new spec galvanizing on the new chassis are so good. My subframe and all arms will get coated forsure!

I dont remember what it was, Panasonic has some new jams out too, just without the manual zoom lens. I wish they made a new gen of the FZ-30 I had back in the day

Car back on jackstands with dramatic lighting lol...





.

.

I got the stock manifold and exhaust off, and added some stuff to the pile of parts not making their way back on the car...



.

.

I was told that the stock EP3 and DC5S upper manifolds are the same but they definitely are not. Ill have a comparison of those later but for now here is the comparison between stock and 05 DC5S down pipes.

So now that the car is on stands I wanted to give it a once over and make sure everything was good after the hour 15 min drive from the old house to the new one. One thing I caught was that the rotor had contacted the ITR lca probably under deep compression over some larger bumps on the highway. Theres a good 4 mm of clearance otherwise. So it looks like Ill have to space the rotor out 3mm, and have the caliper brackets machine 3mm also to move the whole assembly out.

Man the machine shop is gonna be busy the next few weeks

Haha I don't have a machine shop there's just a guy down the street that we work closely with.

So excited today, just put the order through for my exhaust! After over 2 years of ownership she will finally be able to breathe a little better

pmed you
The seat rails are buddy club low down, then my brackets. Any kind of side mount bucket that uses the large side plates for mounting need aftermarket rails designed for that application. I reccomend buddy club or memory fab rails.
