Waxed the whip. Shiny much?

[Jon K]

So I took the day, since I am waiting for more parts for megasquirt install, to wax wash and wax the 5. The skies got sort of dramatic so I thought it might make for a good picture.

This 2nd picture was taken from 7 exposures using a method called HDR to preserve the sky detail - I thought it was cool.

Not trashed, I just don't want to spend money fixing - I want more power.

I did get your PM sorry. Yeah we can work something out. I am picking up Saj3n's car this week. If you want to schedule something let me know.

Good quality pictures and the car looks good, but they are far from being your most flattering shots.

Heh I wasn't going for much - I didn't leave my driveway lol.

the second pic is technically cool because its an HDR image, notice how the sky has detail and at the same time the foreground (car,grass) has detail as well... this is the combination of 7 different exposed frames. Typically a sky will be blown out, as you see in the first picture.

Thats looking great Jon!!!

Love those wheels... BEST ever aftermarket rim for the E34!!

[bahnstormer]

sky looks better than ur car =\
too dark in that 2nd one

[Jon K]

well needless to say it was overcast (sky).

Overcast skies are the best for photographing cars.

[Jon K]

Its true, but these were only overcast behind the car

PA weather has been annoying.

Spent today doing 3M Imperial Hand Glaze, Mothers Carnauba paste, than S100 paste wax finisher twice. Yeah it took a while, but I think it's worth it. I usually just hit it up with Mothers paste wax once every two weeks... today I felt like being nice.

[E34 530]

God, your getting torn apart Jon. :p Who cares, the photos came out good, why is everyone getting so worked up about them.

[E34 530]

I'll say it again, SELL ME YOUR RIMS!! I've got a set of mint stockies with 3 month old tires on them and a set of style 32's with 9 monnth old Kumho Ecstas that are calling your name. :D

[Jon K]

If you could imagine what my 450+ ft lb of torque (after I turbo) would do to stockies....

[BlueM60]

Looks great man. I think the pics are sweet. And yes, those wheels look badass on that car.

I demand a ride when finished. ;) btw, my friend was so inspired by your CAR-puter he's currently fabricating one for his car.

[Jon K]

Nice!

[Nick.Hay]

Is that your driveway??

Looks nice and smooth and flowing...kinda like its begging to be drifted on!!

[Jon K]

[VentoGT]

[Jon K]
