Havent had time to shoot recently. did a couple weddings and had to travel for work so these were the few I was able to squeeze off in the last 3 weeks. enjoy









thanks for looking

 

awesome pix

 

wow..BIG fan of ur work haha but you already knew that

soo....when are you gonna shoot my car?

OH and when did you get the rims?! I like em

 

Nice and clean. Looks great!

 

thanks bro!

like i said, if ever you make a drive out here or if I fly out there to VA on vacation/work, ill let you know and ill hang out and do a quick photoshoot

I got the rims just last month. saved about 12 lbs per corner. BIG difference.

 

Hmmm 3 day roadtrip to Cali...haha WORTH IT

The rims look badass, kind look like Enkei RP F1's, are those it?

You know what, next, DROP

 

let me know if you'll make the trip here. id take a day off and do a shoot

the rims are BBS forged aluminum. tires are Yokohama ADVAN A046


cant lower the car, i already scrape as it sits lol

 

BBS Forged aluminum?$$$

They scrape already? Are you dropped and what are the specs on the wheels?

 

what scrapes is the underbody flap just under the nose of the car. its nothing major, but it annoys the heck outta me. most inclines at the places i frequent are steep enough that it always scrapes.

no im not lowered. the specs are 17x8 +35 offset. tires are stock size - 235/45 R17. ill take close up pics soon.

 

i wonder if you can cut that flap a bit w/out damaging anything else or having any safety hazards.

that would bring a whole new standard for lowering.

still loving your work, and your house too, that's nice.

 

from my understanding, the flap directs air to the lower intake snorkel (the TL is a bottom breather). removing that could affect airflow to the intake. as much as I myself want that removed, I see its function, and would rather keep it there.

thanks for the compliment

 

When did u get the wheels Patrick? Dman .... now I really need to see your car ... and that other car as well

 

very nice pictures... love the background

 

you mean this car?

 

YES DEFINITELY THAT ONE LOL O______O drooolll

 

wait..sixsixfour...is that your other car....

 

nismo z reminds me of a koi fish for some reason

 

lol no thats my brother's car. we used to both own Evos (two regular and two MR's) before changing our ways and getting what we have now

 

in some angles yes, same here.

i frankly didnt really like the Nismo at first, but after a while, it grows on you

 

The Nismo R is a nice ride!


As always you demonstrate how much better your photography skills are better than mine.

 

haha Eoanou..he makes me jealous

Dude that car's BADASS...oh and the nismo's ok too

 

OMG is hot ! what made you guys change your evo's?

 

mine is mostly work. i work for Chase in the Bankruptcy department and it doesnt bode professionalism well driving to meetings, lunches and dinners in a suit and tie from an Evo.

my brother wanted a clean slate and change. plus he always wanted a white car (preferably a coupe like my old 3000GT). hence the change.

my 3000GT:


my old "GSR" evo :


my MR :


my brother's MR:

 

Jeez..that last pic of the red MR is amazing, magazine worthy!

You guys have had some nice cars

The intercooler just makes me

 

thanks bro. ygpm

 

Damn, that Z is nice. Extremely nice rims!
Any mods on the EVO MR?

I agree, it's awkward going to formal places in an EVO or STI. I remember going to my grad party in my new STI last year. That felt really awkward cuz I was in suit and tie, and I was driving a loud ass modded STI. Don't get me wrong, the STI isn't a parent's present. The TL-S is but not the STI. =\ The STI is a project car where me and a couple friends chipped in to purchase. I just get to keep it before we started crazy modding it, and plus, the car is under my name as owner.

 

It looks great bro! BBS rims are very nice light weight rims. BBS rims with Yokos! I guess all those weekend photo ops left you with plenty of money to play with. I too got some new shoes, but no good pics of them... yet.

 

those pics came out good.
cars look great.

 

lol..
I was bored.

 

Dmn elkayem...sick chop! Damn...I feel cool because I can make things look tinted on PS haha

 

^ mos def. hella clean!`

 

lovely pictures

 

DAMN, that looks sick. can I give you the high res one and do it for me?

 

my MR had a full turboback (HFC, Tanabe DP, Apexi WS2 catback), P2R flash, Trust UICP, Sun Hyper voltage and open element intake. exterior mods were the JDM heads and tails. my brother had a more extensive list : RMR intake, full RMR IC piping, RMR DP, RMR testpipe, 5zigen catback, HKS circle earth ground kit, HKS Hipermax RS II coilovers.

at times i do feel bad we let the cars go, and I envy you still having the STi (and the nice photchop btw ). but the advantages, especially now with the TL's amazing (compared to the Evos) gas milage, outweigh a lot of the Evo's charm.

 

the BBS are from an Evo IX SE. the tires are the OEM Evo tires. they have a TON of grip, and have definitely changed the nature of the TL. they dont have the TPMS sensors (i just cancel the warning) and are pretty loud (used to it from owning two Evos). but the grip and cornering ability (as well as noticeably improved acceleration and braking) make it so much better.

the fact that they are the same size and dimension (except the wheel offset) on top of the fact that each wheel+tire combo is about 12 pounds lighter than the stock wheel+tire combo may attribute to the noticeable increase in performance. i even have noticed an average 3 MPG improvement (i have that chart where i keep track of my fuel consumption) in fuel economy since I bolted these on.

the only modification i needed to do was use the same lugs as used by an Evo (the TL's lugs are too skinny and dont seat in well). since i had a spare (including a lock) laying around it wasnt bad.

truly worth it

 

Sure, I'll give it a try!
But I can't guarantee satisfaction.

 

Now that I can't do. I guess we make a good team then, you tint I drop! That's the basic needs for a car to look good. NBP Team work!.

 

What tires do the oem evo's have? Potenzas?

 

now check this out =)

 

Are you trying to show us how lame you are by using Windows? Mac FTW haha jp. I have to admit I made one of his pics my background too haha.
