Pics and a vid of the domino solara

Postby dominoSLEV6 » Thu May 04, 2006 2:44 am

So I finally got around to getting my windows tinted. Which lead to cleaning up the car, which lead to a picture shoot, which lead to a picture shot with a buddy, which lead to a short video, which was filmed terribly by my retarded friend, which I am sorry of the quality because of that. Ok, but seriously done with the which's. Most of the pics are taken form the same angle to hide the damage cause in my accident a week or two back.

Here's a few, I tried to keep this thread 56kable, so I kept the size down using CD to host them, and only posted a few on the thread page. The rest are on Cardomain here:

Yes, that's the Atlantic Ocean, chillin right behind my car. Just a few feet and a 15-20 drop off to crashing waves. And yes, I was almost sure the cops would show up before I fled the scene of the property that definitely isn't mine.

The Solara and Jesse's MAZDASPEED Protege (don't let the turbo fool you, it's pretty slow)

I was going for a look like that lot in some of Kenny's pictures with the tire marks, only on a different backdrop. Yeah, I was the one who ebraked and burned out to get those marks, and they didn't help the picture the way I wanted at all.

Image

There's bunches more on Cardomain, 20 to be exact.

And here's the video.

First let me appologize for not turning the radio off before starting the pulls on video. Second let me applogize for my retarded cameraman.

The first run is 15-80. You'll notice I lose traction very quickly and instead of riding it out with my car boucning around, I shifted to second early, which is the cause of the engine bog you hear and see. The second is 40-100. My car isn't superman from 60-100, but check out the quick jump from 40-60. That's where I pull, and then it's a matter of keeping the speed increasing. On the third part, my retarded friend strikes again and my car isn't in the screen when I hit it. The driver took so long to pull up aside of me and there was a light coming up so I had to hit it. IF you listen carefully you can hear my car kick into gear right before the camera is (brilliantly :-? ) moved from behind the sideview. It was only a split second I hit it before the car comes into view, and it was from 40mph. I've noticed my shifts were semi slow in all the vids, so no hating I just haven't been racing it much lately.

^the video^

I'll get a video of just the intake revving sometime soon, and of a roll and downshift flyby type of thing sometime soon.

Tadaa and that's all.

Yes, I'm figuring that will fall in somewhere around the next ice age. The car is on hold for now aside from some relocation with the nitrous solenoids, and TRD strut bar going in as soon as I'm back from vacation in a week.

I just got in that minor accident which will cost me between $700 and $1000 to fix. I'm a little behind on payments, but my parents have cut me some slack there (thankfully my parents loaned me the rest of the money for the car and I ay them rather than the bank). Insurance is around 300 a month, I just spent about 200 on a new timing belt, bearings, cam and crank seals, drive belts, and a water pump. I need new tires, and I need a new clutch. Then I need another 1.5k or so to lower it on some 18"s. That's of course aside from the quick shifter I need to install first and the gauge pod I need to get to install my A/F gauge. I'd also like to get one of those rear sway bars while they're around new and cheap. I only have about 400 dollars right now, and won't be at work making any money for the next week. In fact I'll be spending it on vacation going to my cousins wedding.

So yes, it will happen one day. But you do the math and figure out how long it takes to get that much extra $. It takes a little while.
