And it begins



92 318is, interior is in amazing condition and it only has 140k on it. I talked my buddy into buying it a few months ago and helped him choose suspension, wheels, and also fix any little issues it had. I basically put this car together and it was a deal I couldnt pass it up when he talked about selling.

It has:
H&R cup kit
16" style 5's
Sparco Champion Limited Edition steering wheel
Fan delete w/ 16" electric fan

Recent maint:
New clutch
New brakes and fluid
New power steering lines

Plans:
None as of yet, maybe throw my Recaro SE in.

Ill get some more shots of it this weekend, some of you may recognize the car as the Autoblog: Project Track Slut.

I love your camera skills!

That's a great color. What's it called? Your photography makes it look even more stunning.

Nice pick up!

Still got the E30? I saw your post about how you wanted to sell the E30 to get that.

[mikeedler]

e36's are the ghey-- but I am driving one for right now too. my 150hp 320i feels like a slug, I can just imagine how uneventful of a drive that thing can be.
looks o.k. though.

[blunttech]

you are a skilled mofo with the camera.

[sumyungguy]

Thanks for the comments on the shot.

I would generally agree on the ghey comment about e36's, but I really like this specific one. I would take this over an e36 M3 any day. Ive been driving an m42 e30 for a while and lack of power doesnt bother me just means brake less in the corners. Ive come very accustomed to momentum cars, I could buy a car with more power, but I dont think Id have anymore fun driving it. Besides, Im an engine bulder when Im not shooting, and used to be a performance tech, I have the ability to make HP at my fingertips.

Im not done with e30's, after I get a house I want to start on a e30 M3 with a s42 spec'd m42 :-D.

Oh shit, I guess you have been or need to start talking to Daniel (DCColgrove)

I met him @ bimmerfest in may, talked him up about my swap that I was planning, and he started talking about an s42. I want...

[sumyungguy]

I havent been talking to him, I could just do it at work ;). I do know he has some info about it so I may get with him when the time comes.

Please continue to post your work here, its awesome to see some good work once in awhile. :)

Thanks! Oh Im not going anywhere, r3v is by far the best car forum period.

For that shot I used a "rig", which consists of suction cups and a 12ft boom off the car. Use a slow shutter and slowly move the car (I was actually pushing it). Take different exposures and bring them together in photoshop while also removing the rig.

Just had a Evo X MR shoot go live, In the Autoblog Garage: 2008 Mitsubishi Evolution X MR.

[CrazyB]

mus have been a very wide lens to capture the car like that form 12 feet away. What lens did you use.

[sumyungguy]

Its a 17-40L on a 5d but that shot was at 24mm, so not super wide. 12ft boom with about 3ft of it over the car, 9ft is still pretty car way.

[CrazyB]

Yeah, plus 5D is a full size sensor if I remember correctly.

[sumyungguy]

24mm on the FF 5d is like 17mm on a crop.
