HSPN / IWSTI Race Car (OMG not again! See post 1109) - Page 7

Well, I'm glad I got those pictures. It washed off this morning

.

I wonder if it will happen again at the next track day.

**Ben** · 08-31-2005, 10:12 PM

I went to the canyons today with Mike and Kevin (rdrcr & nivek) and we took some cool pics of the cars. Here are a few of mine

I also included some wallpaper quality versions of the first pic. After we saw it we thought it looked like magazine quality material and I had to have it as my new background

. I'm going to have to go back to the same spot and take the same picture with my street wheels (BBS RE's) and IWSTI license plate installed on the front.

Here are the links to the wallpaper:

1600x1200 version
1280x1024 version
1024x768 version
800x600 version

The other pics are attached to this post so just click the thumbnails.

Enjoy

Check out these pics of my PINK exhaust pipe.

Looks like lead (think in terms of the old "red lead" primer paint) from the fuel.

Man, I'm jealous. I wish I had the resources to do that stuff to my car.

**Nivek** · 09-01-2005, 12:07 PM

Wow those pics really did come out well

. I was hanging out the window of Mike's car to take that second pic. I like the first one you took with the camera on the road, it looks great as your wallpaper

.

very nice pictures!

Some people wanted to see the blue flame that comes out of my Cobb 3" Turboback Exhaust. Today I mounted a chasecam to my bumper to get videos of exactly that.

One of the runs there was 1st through 6th gear, aprox 0 to 130 MPH. This is on a closed course so don't go doing this stuff on public roads!

pharo · 09-06-2005, 09:27 PM

o man that is sick! it should be an advertisement for the catless exhausts. I can't imagine the people's faces behind you, o wait no one could keep up

p.s.I want to give everyone a word of caution and please don't attempt doing something like this as I would like the STI community to grow and not lose members, and leave this to the pros.

AndrewSS · 09-06-2005, 09:58 PM

wow ben your STi is friggin HOT!

91TB78 · 09-06-2005, 10:16 PM

Looks great, I'd love to see pics of those new rotors mounted behind the BBS!!

**Ben** · 09-06-2005, 10:25 PM

They don't look like anything special. Unless you're a keen observer and notice the venting or the different hats you would think they are stock rotors

. Very stealthy...

Yeah, you can't even tell a difference just looking at them at that angle.

Have any other shots showing more of the venting or hat vents when installed?

Still in love with this brake setup?

**Ben** · 09-06-2005, 10:28 PM

The brakes are absolutely awesome. Definitely still in love. I'll take some different pics at an angle so you can see the venting tomorrow.

91TB78 · 09-06-2005, 10:28 PM

Cool, thanks. Good to hear...makes me want to order asap. Where's Kevin?!

**Ben** · 09-06-2005, 10:31 PM
