FD Balancing (funny)
Okay, perhaps this should be in the lounge, so if a mod wants to send it there that won't bother me. Just a funny photo I took showing how well balanced an FD is...



Yeah, it's a 'chop...d'uh!

You need to shop out the shadow of whatever was really holding up the car there...

Now add an Amur-esque caption that says "50/50 doesn't mean **** once the car starts moving."

Actually, the caption I am thinking of is: "Pineapple Racing single post lift, just $4.99 plus shipping". Too bad April Fools day is past...I'd put it on the web site.

I dunno, I think to many people would be concerned by the fact that there's so many trannys laying around!

Haha, I was just thinking the same thing... That is a sweet picture. The Shadow there doesn't bother me because it kinda looks like it's for something that is just outside the picture.

yeah -- the shadow looks like from something off-camera...

btw: the only bad thing is that the "post" is slightly off center...

Well that makes it all the better. Driver and battery are on that side.

It would help if the spelling were correct at the top of the pic. Not trying to flame, but we all know how well good grammar is equated with good intelligence.

The original image is 8.3 Megapixels! I suppose I could print up some posters and sell them on eBay and/or the company web site. Anyone want to do a group buy?

With my caption, and if anyone else wants to photoshop it a bit more...yea I'm game.

EDIT: On second thought, you're running the rotary illustrated website, right? You should charge something like $5 a poster, as a donation to the website
