Nik's Trophy, on my wall

[ukaskew]

This pic is a bit dark as I didn't want to use flash, but I will get a better one when its up on the wall...

Taken from this (and added a border...)

Love it, quality is incredible considering I have a 5mp camera and that shot was taken from 50 metres or so away, no pixelation or anything. Going to get it framed and put up along with some other arty stuff (including Saner's green sheep, the only other car one) courtesy of Photobox's brilliant £5.99 poster print offer.

 

[Pettsi]

[eugegall]

my trophy never did that

 

[Nik]

Ha ha, excellent

I actually have a large print version of that but the zoomed out version with the whole car. Was going to do the same and frame it at some point. Might have to try the photobox large prints see how they turn out.

 

[Nik]

Only available from Yozzasport as far as i know.

Yes they do eat the discs, you can easily go through 2 sets of stock OEM / brembo hc discs in the life of 1 set of pads, but if you want to stop and i mean really stop quick with very little chance of fade then these are the best pads on the market IMHO. The Clio Cup race cars use them, so cant be too bad

You'll only get sparks like that under extreme braking though, that pic was at an airfield day where i was going from over a ton down to about 15-mph just standing on the pedal as hard as possible. They dont normally do that, but you do get visible sparks at night with less severe braking.

Unfortunately i'm being ghey at the moment and am running pads which dont cover my nice new front wheels in brake dust, but i miss them , they are excellent.

 

[MarkCup]

Excellent print Chris.

Nik...you're a girl...get some PF97's back on there!

 

[dannyboy172]

That truely is an amazing pic. Nice work!

What are these pads like for normal road day to day use?

 

[Revels]

Great pic!

 

[ChrisE]

[Ash87]

[ukaskew]

To satisfy those who have requested:

This is the original uncompressed 2mb file straight from the camera, not actually that great until you've had a play around with it...

http://chrisharrison.smugmug.com/photos/78572442-O.jpg

This is the file sent to Photobox, it looks so much better on paper (20"x8", pretty big) for some reason...

http://chrisharrison.smugmug.com/photos/78572844-O.jpg

And this is Saner's which I had done in A2, looks equally amazing, not sure what to actually do with it though, just got it because it was cheap...

Also notice the reat seat passenger is wearing all three seatbelts :rasp:

 

[hoggaz]

Also notice the reat seat passenger is wearing all three seatbelts :rasp:

I thought he looked like he was wearing the 2 back ones. But he was wearing 3! pmsl. Pure home made 5 point harness.

 

[polarbert]

To say those wheels are normally grey, there does look like a

load of brake dust on the front one.

 

[Thomss]

Looooooooooovely pic.
Would make a great desktop.

I darkened the wheels to emphasise the sparks, but yes they were pretty black anyway!

 

[Adam]

superb!!!!

 

[Day]

I thought he looked like he was wearing the 2 back ones. But he was wearing 3! pmsl. Pure home made 5 point harness.

I reccomend the use of all 3 as a rear passenger while out on track.

Will revisit later this year around the Nurburgring :approve:
