Favourite Photo Of Your Car!


J - Rad

Recommended Posts

well i have no photo to post but have been going through the last few pages and a few of these below are prime candidates for calendar photos! There is some gold in this thread that would look great blown upto a big picture. There was a couple i couldnt link, but martins shots of RBWARE and Andrews shot of his V35 also look awesome and a whole lot more. Submit them to flick guys and im sure some of these would definately make it in to the calendar!

problem with mine is it's not the original, has been through photoshop, doesnt have that shitty red car that was originally next to it, the original probably wouldnt be suitable as the red car kinda does ruin it. i have a high res version of the edited one tho, i guess its just whether it needs to be a true original to be in consideration?

send both versions stewy, sure we can make one of them work. Even if its just for one of the smaller photos.

Gday Luke, yeah have quite a few shots... but since I still haven't seen the last calendar I can't really be bothered.

alright ive sent both, just sent the edited version as a tif so it's a bit big, but being a jpeg off the camera it's already been compressed once, didnt want to compress it again.

also martin, we made ourselves available a few weekends in a row at villis on a friday night for people to come collect, otherwise people could have contacted myself or flick to arrange an alternate time to collect. And i think flick is being pretty generous in giving you a free copy of the new calendar. She doesnt make any money out of doing this so it is money out of her pocket to give you one.

But its a credit to you and your car if it appears in the calendar so its no hassle to us if you dont want to submit anything.

Hostile, like ive said to some previous people that never picked up the last one, you can have next years for free..

Wow. If only there was a way to send things to people all this could have been solved. Perhaps a genius idea that no one has ever thought of.

I'm not having a go at Flick or Luke but perhaps a little communication between all parties could have solved this quite easily.

your right writeoff, communication would have been good, flick puts enough effort into doing this without having to chase everyone up though.

Anyway, this is a photo thread, all will be good, martin and a couple of others are getting a free calendar this year to make up for missing out last time. Hope all will be happy.

Back to the photos!

    • Well, yeah, the RB26 is definitely that far off the mark. From a pure technology point of view it is closer to the engines of the 60s than it is to the engines of the last 10 years. There is absolutely nothing special about an RB26 that wasn't present in engines going all the way back to the 60s, except probably the four valve head. The bottom end is just bog standard Japanese stuff. The head is nothing special. Celicas in the 70s were the same thing, in 4cyl 2 valve form. The ITBs are nothing special when you consider that the same Celicas had twin Solexes on them, and so had throttle plates in the exact same place. There's no variable valve timing, no variable inlet manifold, which even other RBs had either before the 26 came out or shortly afterward. The ECU is pretty rude and crude. The only things it has going for it are that the physical structure was pretty bloody tough for a mass produced engine, the twin-turbos and ITBs made for a bit of uniqueness against the competition (and even Toyota were ahead on the twin turbs thing, weren't they?) and the electronic controls and measuring devices (ie, AFMs, CAS, etc) were good enough to make it run well. Oh, and it sounds better than almost anything else, ever. The VR38 is absolutely halfway between the RB generation and the current generation, so it definitely has a massive increase in the sophistication of the electronics, allowing for a lot more dynamic optimisation of mapping. Then there's things like metal treatments and other coatings on things, adoption of variable cam stuff, and a bunch of other little improvements that mean it has to be a better thing than the RB26. But I otherwise agree with you that it is approximately the same thing as a 26. But, skip forward another 10 years from that engine and then the things that I mentioned in previous post come out to play. High compression, massively sophisticated computers, direct injection, clever measuring sensors, etc etc. They are the real difference between trying to make big power with a 26 and trying to make big power with a S/B50/54 (or whatever the preferred BMW engine of the week is).
    • Is the RB26 actually that far off the mark? Honestly from where I'm sitting a VR38DETT is not actually that much more advanced than the RB26. Yes, there is a scavenge pump on the VR38, it's smarter in a number of ways but it's not actually jumping out to me as alien technology. Something like a B58 or V35A-FTS on the other hand has so many surprising little design features that add up to be something that just isn't comparable.
