Cheers mate.

I was never a fan of most of the Advanti rims until I saw this in person hey. Grows on me. One day I'll change them.

[coo dawg]

Got some half decent photos on my Iphone......

[Ed]

love impulse blue vz ss's! awesome mate, well done!

[coo dawg]

Thanks mate. Lovely Colour.

Turismo Blue is still probably my favourite though.

[Ed]

yeah i dno man, the darker blue with black features really sets it off so well! purely black rims would look insane

[coo dawg]

Yeah that's true. I'd love a set of 20' medusa's in black hey!

[Impulse vz]

Looks real clean man! Impulse is definitely the best color of the VZ's '


Look forward to said future mods!

[coo dawg]

Thanks mate.
Your VZ is insane!

[dijm8]

any plans for cam? induction etc ?

[derrro]

Nice enhancement of the blue (in PS?). Goes well with the sepia bckgrd

Yep turismo is my second fave.

[derrro]

How many kays you got on it?

Cheers mate.

Yeah bumped up the blue a little bit in PS, not much. Than just B & W the background.

[derrro]

yeah deep etching is a bitch though. If I send u some pics can you deep etch em for me! Haha

[coo dawg]

ahah I'm not the best at PS but yeah mate send them.

[coo dawg]

It's got 90thou on it now. How many has yours got?

[derrro]

haha no, I was joking abt the deep etching Have used PS a bit myself and generally zoom in to grab all the pixels and then lightly feather the edges so all good.

Bought mine in 08 and have put 85,000k's on it since. Considering it's been abt $90 for a tank of fuel and that it lasts on average 400k's I have spent a lot on petrol!! (85,000/400=212.5 tanks. 212.5x90= $19,125. Faaark...

A little bit off the topic lol... but how did you manage to take the photo of the car leaving the background grey?

Use Photo Shop. U kind of 'select' the car by deep etching it - tracing round it, and then separate it from the rest of the pic that u put into B&W, or whatever u want.

Almost 20K on petrol. Ahaha JESUS!

What Derro said,
but I find it easier to manually select all the blue elements with the wand tool and the black and white everything that is not selected by inverting the selection.

Yep, I'm committed, or shuld be!

[coo dawg]

My mate has a cammed VZ tonner, same colour, and it sounds mental and goes hard with a cam so it's definitely tempting. Probably won't get one any time soon though.
A for induction, I'm keen on getting a decent OTR and a mafless tune.
What about you?
