This is a guy I met through a local WRX/Evo Club, and he was happy to spare some time to let me take a few pics of his car.

He bought it new and it was the 2nd one delivered in Perth, and has since then done a ton of mods to it. The engine now produces somewhere around 360hp, and he has upgraded the suspension quite extensively also. :D

Unfortunately the "shoot" was a little rushed as both of us had places to be, so there are only 21 pics and maybe not as many angles as I would've liked - but shit happens. :bah:

Hope you enjoy anyway. :D

All 21 high-res pics can be viewed on my website :arrow: www.ozcarsightings.com

it doesent look like that you were in a rush, you could switched backrounds :P , but its a great indepth :D

and the car is great too, but i think you should shoot more with the EVo and yours WRX 8)

it looks that he only modified engine not the exterior, i think the exterior is just perfect on a EVO :P

thanks for the indepth

Very nice in yellow and great pictures with the green background IMO! Not many pics but quality ones, that's what counts ;) I suppose it is about time to fire up an "indepth / whatever" section on your website ;) or are you waiting to have xx features before doing so? :)

Nice pics. I can understand why you didn't take more pics with both the cars, but I would have loved to see more of that type. Thanks!

I'm sure there will be an opportunity to do it another time, as I will see him again. :wink:

Nice set of photos mate, The evo looks the goods. Did you get any engine bay pics? What sort of mods has he done?

No engine bay pics sorry, but it didn't look extra impressive anyway.

He ran off an entire list of mods which I can't remember most of, but some that come to mind are he's running 23-24psi boost, an Xforce turbo-back exhaust, CAI, filter etc.

Great photoshoot, Dingo! Maybe not as many pics as were used to from you. But as TT mentioned, it's the quality that counts, not the quantity. And you really nailed it concerning the quality. A good background and some high quality pics, and good angles. My favourite pic is the combo shot. And the 2nd winner is this one (I don't really know why, but this pic feels so right):

LOL. :lol:

He was actually a very nice guy, and maybe the fact we talked so long about the cars was why we had to rush the pics. :)

Do you mean when you click on my link in this topic, or on the Evo picture on my homepage?

Curious... that's the only thing I don't like.... But I love the exhaust!!

It would look great if the wheels were black :wink: And with the Ralliart wheels it would look even better.

I saw a red one with those wheels in black and it was great 8)

I'm also using mozilla. Basically on your homepage where you have the preview pictures, when i click on the previews to view the full size pictures the page just automattically scrolls to the top of the page. Its almost like the page instantly reloads and doesnt let me see the full pictures.

EDIT i went back with IE and it works fine, so i dunno whats up with mozilla.

Strange, and I don't have the answer - but it seems you two are the only ones with the problem so I'd say its more likely a problem at your end. :bah:
