Hi all, just got my account resurrected from the days when PO was free. Just wanted to make this my first post sorta introducing myself and showing some favorite pics of my car. Apologies if you've already seen half these pics.....my pics somehow find their ways into threads on the net
Some of you probably know me from BAP or as "the guy who did the PO calendar editing/cover page," or part of the group that did a couple prelude videos (IMG), so I'd just like to say what's up
98PreludeSHDrvr: My rims used to rub in the rear on hard corners and large bumps, but adjusting my Konis to a stiffer setting and just some wear and tear eventually cured the problem.
MonStar: Yeah, got tons of pics in my albums. Click the link in my original thread and check out "House of Arrrmand" for my shots and the earlier albums for shots of my car at meets where I didn't have a wing. I think nobody on PO knows, but I ended up geting phayze one's wing. She sold it to a BAP member (gt-vtec/Alfred) and he sold it to me. I ended up repainting it though because there were some scratches. One clean black lude to another
lude2lust: Yeah, I checked PO every now and then and noticed that your car and mine are nearly twins! Thx for the comments and welcome
thepreludedude: Haha, I guess I wasn't gone long enough for people to forget. I'm glad that you guys like my pics.....always trying to get better though. I'm using a Nikon Coolpix 4500 w/ various lenses and some post processing in Photoshop to get the pics that I upload.
You took the C2's off your car Mike? And I agree that the Mugen wing is nice as hell. But something to keep in mind is that it's the Mugen wing---not the WW whale tail. The Wings West Mugen replica is much larger. I bought one, and never put it on the car because it was huge!
Yeah i blew 2 tires on them so i decided to take them off for the winter, ill be putting them back on in Feb/March.
What about the VIS mugen replica wing? is it large too?
Richard: haha, yeah, we gotta go on another one of these shoots sometime in the next month. i'm starting to become a fan of your pics as well dude. we should go invest into some equipment to take those kinda wheel long exposure shots. check your BAP PM
Ludatic: Thanks! It's really flattering when people say that they use my pic as their desktop.
Mike03: Yeah, MonStar's right...it's 17x7.5.
MonStar: When I got it, it was a tad bigger than I would have liked, but for the price I got it for, it superceded that fact. Imho, it only looks big at a few angles and looks great at most. I'm still going between selling it and getting a type s spoiler, but for now, I can't complain w/ the way it looks. I guess I get more compliments than criticism.
Mike03 (again): From what I heard, the VIS is a little bit smaller and "truer" to the Mugen, but it doesn't fit stock holes. I also heard that the fitment isn't as tight or even as the wings west (sort of like the VIS mugen front replica that I was close to getting). Even though I didn't have a spoiler before, those were factors when I decided to go w/ this one.
