    Took a bunch of pics this weekend... DUW

    I spent a lot of time with the car this weekend and took a number of pics that I wanted to share with you all. Some are HDR's, so are normal shots. On a side note I think I fixed my ignition problem so I'll soon see if it makes a difference at the track, I sure hope it does. Enjoy:

    Nice shots! I really like the locations you used :)

    I hope you don't mind me saying this, but something feels a bit off on some of the pictures, like they're too warm or have too much saturation or something.

    I'm not 100% sure what fixed it Rob. I put new plugs in and actually opened the gap up from .030 to .045" which I thought was risky but I wanted to try it. I put on my old FMS plug wires since my newer set that I had on the car had two boots that were very soft. They were not burnt or anything but they felt like taffy. I yanked the cap and rotor off and sanded all of the contacts down. They had a lot of black carbon build up on them. I pulled the distributor and #1 plug out and ran #1 cylinder to TDC to make sure I had the dizzy in correctly which it was. Lastly I re-synced the AEM timing with the dizzy. If these things didn't fix it I would have been SOL as I wouldn't have known what to do next. I will be heading to the track as soon as we have a night with great weather. I'm too frustrated with the car right now over this problem and its lack of performance at the track to go on a hot day and be let down again. I took it to the FLD's in Ebensburg this past Sunday and it felt good, but it blew a TON of smoke after one pass. It only lasted a little while but I looked like spy hunter deploying my smoke screen!


    Thanks everyone for the compliments!

    Thanks! I know exactly what you mean though about the saturation. HDR and a bright yellow car don't seem to mesh too well. I used multiple aperture settings to try and avoid this and it didn't work. If I even attempt to take them in sunlight I know I'm wasting my time. I took these pictures right at dusk yet the car still looks overexposed and over saturated.
