maybe no one is interested but thought id ask anyhow.

In my opinion, the shots are good, but not worth paying for.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but your friend doesn't seem to be an automotive photographer.

For those shots, sharp focus is needed firstly and the real "magic" here seems to be in post, with heavy saturation and the use of mattes/vignettes to give the shot depth.

All the best.

Pics look good man, but as said above, probably not the best to pay money for. I just had my car photographed for HPI the other month and have similar pics to you, vehicle moving from different angles, sun casting shadows onto car etc and the photos the photographer from HPI are fantastic. For example the one of your car side on while its moving is a bit blurred to the rear and the background is incredibly blurred, ie not the correct shutter speed etc while the one i have is completely in focus other then the wheels turning.

Just little things like that. Your's are still good photos man, better then i could do haha.

Yeah he came up about a month ago and did a few cars, mine and tristans (Gojira) got into HPI. No idea when it will be featured, they said it can sometimes take up to 6 months :(

Yeah the clutch got done in February, holds up fine now :D

    • Yeah, playing with naturally aspirated is not smart bang for your buck power wise, but then I've never been known for being smart when it comes to cars and modifications 
    • I mean from V8 world there are gains to be made in intakes and such over stock items, but definitely only if you tune them. We're talking about I dunno, 10kw here and there on a 300KW v8, gains made by tuning in the 0.2 AFR that it changes so YES but also no you won't notice it other than the sound. Duct the air as mentioned 750,000 times and you will notice happier IAT's which definitely make a difference N/A. I mean my unsubstantiated guess is you'd go from 140kw with everything stock (after cams) to 145kw with everything and a tune :p
    • I decided to "spend baby spend", and "risk it for the biscuit" 2 Orders were made buying parts that I "don't really need but really really want" totalling $2.5k AUD 1: In stock items (intake plenum and throttle body) 2: The airbox thingie, with no real ETA for them getting more stock, so patience will be required 
    • Any further updates on experiences with them? Anyone installed one with a getrag here as yet?
