Komeuppance Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 So, yeah, that's my ride. ... it's that Starion in the background, haha. Better include a Datsun in my pic so I fit in here: I've crashed a few Datsun meets. The ol' Saturday meets. Back in the day... Got tired of bottoming out. Shortened housings with MR2 Tokiko Illuminas. Oh yeah... Oh no... Got tired of not being able to over speed bumps, so I built a full 3" turbo back exhaust. Drove to Vegas. When the engine bay was clean lol... And where she sleeps at night. Me smashing around Mt Akina... lol, not really. -Robert 21 Quote Link to comment

Komeuppance Posted October 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 I just watched the video. Good god. LOL... is that in a good way?? UPDATES!! Been doing quite a bit with some camera's, borrowed a 50d and tried some more lightpainting and sky photography: Blurry!! Blurry!! These were my first time using this cam. Failed hard. Massive editing involved. So went out on a second night, this time I set the focus correctly... lol: And then last week I made some camera booms: EMT steel pipe and suction cup mounts, adjustable alumimum camera mounts. That's my van too BTW. Mitsubishi 4ever. (Not pictured: Infiniti lol) I made the booms for video originally, but I'll post the photo first: My first rig shot, missed the timing at sunset... but it turned out ok. (borrowed a d5000 for this one) And the video test of my version 2 camera booms: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=FTZN423c-xA Speakers and bass UP. 720p on. Fullscreen. Go... -Robert Quote Link to comment

Komeuppance Posted October 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Thanks!! Not quite the Skyrine/Corn pass area, it's a bit further south. Seen a few dattos on the hairpins at times too. 86 FTMFW. 86's are the fastest Starions, especially black ones. -Robert Quote Link to comment

Komeuppance Posted December 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 One of plugs was a bit fouled and would misfire on cold start... I had to clean them out: Wangan cruising speed. I took the next exit, and there was a cop right at the offramp. Pretty sure he heard me... the light was green for him, but he just sat there... staring. But, the dudes abided and he slowly crept away. The plugs are great now... lol. P.S. This was a completely computer generated fictional story. Any resemblence to actual persons, places, or things is purely coincidence. -Robert 3 Quote Link to comment
