i'm late to the party but WB, and love the IS wagon... i know you want to keep it DD, but i'd be tempted to at least NA-T it if not the full 2JZ swap...

if you were eventually pull the trigger and sell the Skyon to build the IS... definitely LSx swap...

I have no idea where I'm going with it. There's a few things on my list that are more along the lines of upkeep, but hopefully after winter I can take a deeper look into modifications.

Don't worry in a couple days he'll have changed his mind and will be selling the car. Then a few days later he's doing a 26B 4 rotor swap. Then he's selling again. Then he's swapping again.

I came up to NY this weekend to hang out with family/friends for the weekend. My friend took this while I was washing the car, and I liked how it looked:

Other than that, the drive was OK aside from traffic. I averaged around 30mpgs the entire way, which isn't terrible I guess.

It's a sports car. Who cares about the MPGs?! Did you do anything fun with it?

Shit, I get destroyed my Odysseys and Siennas on a daily basis. I simply just gave up on the stoplight pissing contests.

Now I just avoid eye contact. The soccer moms honk and laugh at me regardless

Thanks gents! These shots were taken at the long shut down section of Pilgrim State Hospital in NY, which was an insane asylum. The buildings (those still left standing) are about 80 years old. I wanted to go in a few of the buildings, but my lungs started to burn when I got close to them due to the asbestos. Do for obvious reasons, that didn't happen.

Those headlights really work well with the colour of the car, I think.

I think the headlights are my favorite "mod". The output is amazing, especially with the clear lenses.

Obviously you didn't because you're a law abiding citizen, and breaking the law is something you just don't do, Morgan.

Thanks guys, I had a ton of fun taking these. I still have about 100 more photos to go through.

It was fun to get out there again and use the camera and my brain, instead of the usual Cars & Coffee parking lot stuff; I need to start going out more often though and learn more, refine techniques. There's issues with a few of the photos that annoy me, but in time/practice I can get past it.

I really want to upgrade my camera though and pick up another lens or two. I currently have:

-Tamron 10-24mm f3.5-4.5 wide angle
-Tamron 17-50mm f2.8
-Sony 50mm f1.8 prime (absolutely love this lens)
-Sony 18-55mm f3.5-56
-Sony 55-200mm f4-5.6

I'm looking at a 35mm f1.8 prime and I wouldn't mind a telephoto lens, but I can't decide which to get.

I'm shooting with a Sony A57, and I really want the A99 (full frame). I wouldn't mind jumping over to Nikon, but I have a decent amount of lenses and I really like the features on the new Sony Alphas. The biggest issue is the person taking the pictures (me).
