QuickSilver

hey bradd maybe we tightend it too much, but when I checked it, it wasnt making contact until a click or two upwards, loosen it a bit and see if it solves anything,

hmmm thats a good idea, thanks Ryan will do that,

Yup, photomatix and then photoshop to edit it after that, third is my fav aswell. Its a bit time consuming just for 3 photos, but their good at the end. Thanks for the nice comments guys,

Thanks guys, am gonna do one with the e30 sometime soon

Thanks Drifty, Cain: HDR stands for (High Dynamic Range), its a series of photo's, taken generally in the RAW format (because it catches the complete tonal range) these photos are shot in burst mode with various exposures, with these photos I just used three exposures, at -2, 0, +2, so that I get all the shadows, and all the light, and everything in between, then its a matter of combining these photos into one HDR image, I use two programs, photomatix and photo shop, this photo gets merged into one 32-bit image, the original photo looks crap because our monitors aren't HDR capable and HDR monitors cost like a gazillion bucks, then you scale it down to 16-bit, edit them to what you want them to look like, and then scale down once more to 8-bit which is the results I posted. It is used alot in movies, and animation to light c.g.i scenes. Using HDRI images allows them to be lit from the natural light sources in the image and so they give a far more realistic result than using c.g. lighting set ups. Hope that makes sense? Alex. Edit: Typos.

Hi all, thought I would share some of my recent HDR photos, sorry, no BMW's in these pictures. Slight camera shake on one or two, Thoughts? Cheers, Alex. Note, I've posted before AND after pictures. Numero Uno. Before After Number two, and my least favorite. Before After Number three, and my favorite, thought I'd add a Black and white. Before After.

If its the one I think it is, this has the 5 spd dogleg box I mentioned once or twice, quite rare indeed, also it has under 100k on the clock, it was once mentioned it was used for racing hence the upgrades, and I'm not sure if the engine has had any mods done a while back, body is not in the best shape, but the engine and parts may be worth it, has been sitting for a few years although when they towed it very recently the breaks hadn't seized, hasn't started lately as there is no battery, I'm not sure if its gonna get $2000 grand though, it might be a different one though, worth checking out. It lives on my street lol. Interior is like green valor, very 70's, my mates step dad owns it, please note, the one im referring to is almost identical to the T&E listing, im sorry if its the wrong one, worth a look at if its the right one though. Alex.

e30's have an hourly chime?!

Looks great Bradd a HUGE improvement.

ill take it match my tan seats lol. PM'd

Hey Ryan mine did the exact same thing, I used a few bulbs with no luck, I eventually just followed the wiring and un plugged and re-plugged everything, and then it worked, I can only assume it was a loose connection, possibly the same thing???? Cheers. Alex.

g3 fully synthetic ATF, (automatic transmition fluid) Just talked to Glenn at botanymotorworks and this is the way to go,

ah cheers,

a friend of mine (allegedly) fixed his OBC screen with contact cleaner, or glass spray I cant remember what it was, but he said it fixed it a treat.

sorry to hijack, but what about for a 240?

Higher octane is always better imo, theres no real downside (aside from price) if in doubt stick higher octane in, I run 95 in my e30.

testing testing 1,2,3
