Guest ed_jza80 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Hi guys, well 10 months later and HPI finally sent me the photographer's disc of images... you might remember i threw some pics up ages ago when i first finished the car, and i was going to update when the got the formal shots... well, 10 months later, *sigh*... but yeah, i got em finally! what can i say other than, man! am i disappointed with the ones they actually printed! the article was embarrassing enough, i wont bother posting it as its a waste of bandwidth and reading time, plus i thought the images were pretty woeful... to be honest wasnt holding my breath about getting this DVD either. well, i was wrong, eh. photograpaher knocked off some awesome shots, god knows why they didnt print any of them other than the bland ones they actually put in the mag. meh, no matter, made me a happy boy today, i love the ghost bonnet shots anway, less writing, more pics ! cheers ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra-ireland Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I think they look great. The 5th one with the engine semi-visible is brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Have you got any vids ? you cant just tease us with pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ed_jza80 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 haha, cheers fellas vids, yeah, but hardly any decent driving ones.. every time we went out on the track the wind would blow the mic on the camera to shit, or the engine noise was too much and the levels start clipping so yeah, coolest thing ive got is probably this little audio grab of the old 4.0 engine* http://www.v-eight.com/multimedia/eds_1uz_freerev.mp3 *yes i was being a silly bugger, no it didnt fuck anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ed_jza80 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Wow, that is stunning! What front splitter is that? no idea! im hoping someone can tell me one day i salvaged it off an import, its was all busted up, so we repaired it an skinned it with CF. but ive got zero idea what it actually is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I think they look great. The 5th one with the engine semi-visible is brilliant. It sure is - it must have taken some time to get the source photos to create that with the throttle bodies (!) visible. Lovely looking car - as said above it looks as if it came from the factory that way - how is the balance with the engine transplant, does the V8's weight sit further forward or aft of the 2JZ?

Guest ed_jza80 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 uz is a bit lighter than the 2j (have the number somewhere, its not heaps, but it is lighter) PLUS #1 sparkplug is basically in line with the strut tower it goes back a long way, so much so that you can easily stand in the engine bay with the engine in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ed_jza80 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 theres random stuff spread all over the place about it, mainly on v-eight, toymods, and supraforums.AU what do you want to know? can prob write a quick blurb save the effort of thumbing through 100's of posts! meanwhile, have had some PMs to make some wallpapers Right Click, Save As 1920x1080: 1920x1080: 1600x900: 1920x1080: cheers ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 That's a very nice project you've got yourself there - something different, that's for sure! Love the photos, too. What was wrong with the ones in the original mag feature...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ed_jza80 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 it was just ghey. written for 14yo's, and technically vacant. considering i kinda spent 2 years making the technical stuff actually work, all they cared about was dumb metaphors, and the pics were really bland. like flat, boring, disposable camera family album style photos, and they were all printed really small?! meh, whatever, i didnt build it to make a magazine editor happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
