it scream....SLAM ME .....and i like stock tails ftw!

Posted: **Sun Jul 13, 2008 10:50 pm**

pics look very blah. what kind of camera are you using? Here is a pic I took of my car at carlisle, unedited. its a Canon SD870 IS. It's a simple "point and click", but takes very good photos.

Keep the tails.

Im using a Nikon Coolpix LE. just your standard 5.1mp 3x digital zoom cam... nothing fancy unfortunately... I want to upgrade though

The tails thing seems to be a 50/50 deal lol I like em though

Your car Passt is mega sex...

Yeah you need a new camera.

I would like to be able to jump on the bandwagon and say you need a camera but thats not really the case. This picture was taken with the same camera you have, the only difference was the user used a tripod when he took the shot. Tripods are very important even with point and shoot cameras so the shot comes out crisp. Take the camera out of auto mode and try different things. Auto mode usually kills pictures, so do flashes on those types of cameras.

Anywho...this was taken with a Nikon Coolpix P5100:

i totally agree a tripod is a must.

Do you know him? That picture was taken down the street from my house.

I would like to get a better camera AND a tripod lol. Maybe I will buy one of those instead of some mods or an HDTV -_- I appreciate the input because when it comes to cars its the photographs I like

Any other suggestions? Oh, and btw LilSparkPlug, that SRT is meaner looking than the devil himself.... on the rag!!!

Wow for some reason you decided to park in THE exact same spot at nearly the same angle, WITH my old taillights lol

Different season of course lol but yeah...weirdo...

the tails made me do it... possession

Posted: **Mon Jul 14, 2008 11:38 am**

^ Wow thats crazy.

Posted: **Mon Jul 14, 2008 12:46 pm**

bdmski: Not personally but thats Joshie from SRTForums. Thats one of the shots I'm using for the SRT-4 calendar that I'm making over there.

Phasmatis: If you go with a new camera, pick up a Nikon D40 or something along those lines (Canol Rebel XT is another one but the D40 is easier to use and learn on). I got one for XMAS and that camera kicks ass

I absolutely love it. And yes Joshie's SRT is bad ass.

keep tails just drop it

Posted: **Mon Jul 14, 2008 1:18 pm**

Dropping methods, what would you all prefer for a daily? In my past experiences, a nice set of springs/shocks are pretty gnarly for a DD.

Posted: **Mon Jul 14, 2008 2:28 pm**

Cheapest way to do it is Eibach Prokit springs. That's what I have.

Posted: **Mon Jul 14, 2008 3:49 pm**

Mopar's are better all be not quite as low.

Posted: **Mon Jul 14, 2008 4:13 pm**

i have hotchkis springs, titan motorsports sells them for 142.20+shipping and the drop is perfect in my opinion....1" front, 1.75" rear, higher spring rates, but not bouncey....i love em

I have the Mopars...took 100k for a strut to blow (due to a terrible road condition two weeks ago). Everyone I know with Teins has blown LCA bushings. People I know with Eibachs ended up with blown struts much sooner than anything else. I like the way the Mopars sit and they ride as close to stock as you can get.

Look its Gramp's twin - the stock tails that is

Posted: **Tue Jul 15, 2008 1:07 pm**

Yeah the teins are very low which fucks with the geometry and very soft way too soft for the lowness add these together you get lots of premature wear on the bushings and struts

The eibachs are a little stiffer but still too low. You can only go about 1" safely with the limited suspension travel neons have before you need coilovers
