Doesn't work that way, Adam. It may depend on the Province, but I'm pretty sure that if someone takes your picture, it's THEIR property.

Wise guy eh?

You guys are too funny!

I was going to run my R-compounds but they have break-out times for un-caged cars and I could beat that time on streets. Hence, the brake dust covered front wheels...and after an 8hr drive the night before, I wasn't too concerned with appearance, mine or the car's! Next year I'll be keeping her shiny for all events and make sure to get high res. pics from people.

The event was in a public place so anybody can snap pictures of whatever they want. It's their property. However, if they were to use your image to make money (like stock photo) then you have the right to your share. Of course most events have an 'event' photographer and you end up giving consent for any use of our image without any reward via the entry forms.



It's also highly ignored by the POlice.

Like I said...FTW... *Laugh*

Quiet around here,
Here is a pic of last winter spike's goodies.


And here is one is this winter.


The recesion is a bish.

-Manuel

how much did the stopteck brake kit set ya back ?

The sale price is around 2300us.

Keep an eye out most of this part may go for sale before the even touch spike, if I find something else that I like better.

-Manuel

manuel, I was looking at pictures you posted of spike, and in one, the front bumper seemed black, and in another, it was painted same as rest of body, green.

Or is it just the angle of the camera?

This:

I have to say, it looks much better with flat black up front.

The recession looks real tough with all those goodies.

I treated myself to some fresh oil and a filter!

I guess I cant complaint.
Not bad for a car that I may sell next year.

Yeah Bashar, I did like it better.
It did looked way more agressive, but spike deserved to had its little bumper painted.

This is spike when it was little and innocent.




-Manuel

Heres my car, next to Ryan's house. It's the same color as the snow.

I love those rims. =]

AHHHAHAHAHA.

Those were my headlights lighting it up!

Manny what's the name of the colour of your car ?

Manuel, just a friendly tip bud, there's no pictures allowed in signature blocks here. I see you must have been playing around with a gif animator

Just got my manifold back from Fireball Coatings, they did a full inside and out ceramic coating on it, and it turned out amazing. By the way, this guys are great to deal with, one of the best costumer service I ever had.

So here is the before and after.


After:






-Manuel

Manny how much did it cost to get your manifold coated? That looks mint.

It was 150, it reduces temperatures by 40%.

.........And yeah Ill acept that the looks were a big part of me doing it, I was just going to wrap the manifold but then I made my numbers and It worked out pretty good,(I got the manifold for almost nothing)

What it is now with it's most recent look


With my ol Z

Hey Manual, that looks like their "std" coating, I believe its rated to around ~1300F? Did you get their internal coating as well, believe they call it something like XPT? I'm wondering if that coating will stand up to the kind of EGT's we see (if you had the internal coating done, that'll probably help)? They did all my coating for me (heatshield, turbine housing, O2 housing & complete downpipe) but I had it all done in the high temp (~2200F) satin black & had the O2 & downpipe done internally with that XPT coating (they don't normally do turbine housings internally because of wheel clearances).

Yes the internal coating was done.

Spike never overheated before, but i tought on doing this while I have the damn car apart.

-Manuel

Crap, sorry about that big pic, didn't realize

Here is my Rig

Looks good Alex! Now you just need to do the front bumper as well, at least get rid of the eagle symbol.

Don't know about you, but I've never seen an "Eagle Eclipse" before.

No, but I've seen lots of eclipse eagles!

Thanks Ryan,

Front bumper and head lights and of course side skirts. But first I need to rebuild my suspension.

Here is mine with the engine pulled out sitting on my front lawn. Still a work in progress.

Derrek Trahan
what do you have planed for her ?

Right now I am just trying to get her back on the road, but I got a 2.3l build in progress. Check out my cardomain page for more info. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3223622

Im glad another car sits like mine. =]

I'm hoping she won't be sitting like that for long.

If it is a public event and there is no expectation of privacy on the part of the driver then the picture is the property of the photographer whether he asked to take it or not. Since it was a competitive event the only person other than the photog who might have a claim to it is the event organizer depending on their policy.

That being said I don't know a single photographer who would object to seeing their image published. If it had been my image and you wanted to publish it I would simply ask for a credit in the publication and a copy once it is printed. Unless of course you are making money from the sale of the calender .... then I'd want my piece too =)

Quiet around here.



-Manuel

i ll have updated pics of mine when this snow is gone:)
with the new clear corners, guages, and cf hood;)
hopefully a new exhuast too

Get cracking kidz, snow will be out of the way pretty soon.
Time to bring those cars out.

I will put spike togheter when I get back from Cancun, I am picking up my turbo tomorrow at Magnus, After that I am on bussines again.

-Manuel

Here is my car in its current state...

That looks sweet, what color is it going to be?

Just a fresh coat of Flash Red. I had the motor stripped and subframe / suspension dropped anyways, so I figured now is the time to get it done. It bothered me how ugly it looked under the hood.

Good call.

-Manuel

I just want this page to be done so we can start a new one...
