My Eunos roadster V Spec

[snotrag]

Fantastic plate!

Please, please tell me you had axle stands under that car, you don't want it to be your last oil change.

[snotrag]

did you buy the plate, or did it come on the car?!

This was my first attempt at a rig shot and yes I realise my top isn't down!

Looks good! Out of interest, do you have to effectively photoshop the equipment out of the photo, or are you walking along behind it with a stabilised rig? I know nothing of photography really! Sorry if it comes across as a stupid question

It's not stupid at all! I haven't got a shot of the rig on the back but yeah that's basically it. I had my flatmate walk along holding the strap incase the suction cups failed.

Thanks

I've absolutely no idea sadly - was on the car when the previous owner bought it.

Got some new wheels yesterday to replace the horrible and heavy wolfrace alloys that I have been saying I would replace since I got the car over 2 years ago!

They are White Enkeis off a special edition Eunos of some sort, don't know which model

Nice rig shot Typhoon.

Is that your setup for a front-on rig shot too? Surely with the rig in that position your going to have to do a lot of work in photoshop to get the rig out?

Another shot of mine.. Having a little fun in the Lake District



FB is smashing the quality out of this one, boo. And Yes, a headlamp is out - failed that morning

Excellent choice.

They came on the 'Roadster NR-A' which was a Japan only. trackday special type Mk2 car. Super basic, no frills type car.

Cheers, you've got some lovely shots yourself

Sadly, the pole I bought didn't take the weight very well and my lens wasn't wide enough to move in closer. I I just photographed the car in the same position without the rig, then replaced body, leaving the glass and wheels. This is what happens when you try to do things on the cheap..

Yeah the pole does look to be sagging a lot there, cant be good for bouncing once the car moves.. It's all a learning curve though, you'll get there with it

Today I put the deposit down on this, I found it in the PH classifieds and for its age it is immaculate. I can't wait to pick it up

The chap who is selling it also has some properly nice grunty old cars for sale and had a lot of time to sit and chat about them all today He had a particularly nice Audi Coupe 2.8 that looked brilliant up close.

Just been for a drive to test out my new suspension on some roads I'm familiar with. It's a crappy day - shortly after I took these shots I was forced to actually put the roof up!
