My Italian Supercar
 
First the custom pic. Well, not really. I bought these racing seats wich I'll install next week, so I've put a paper and the car keys on it. Hope it'll do.

Now the car. It's a 2005 Fiat Strada 1.8.

New parts:

- 17in wheels with 205/45 Yokohama tyres;
- high temp light bulbs (super white, looks like xenon :wink: )
- new seats to be installed;
- sports exhaust;
- tinted windows;
- lowered suspensions (new rims make it way too tall);
- new sport dampers, to be installed this month.

I may buy a new ECU chip aswell, maybe to get an extra 8 or so horses.

Pics are hosted in this SC.net topic: http://www.supercars.net/PitLane?vie...43587&bottom=0

I took the pics with a Sony F828.

Cheers.

Wating for a proper custom pic. How hard it is, if you have a digicam, to go out and take a quick one? :hmm:

nice pics man!

did you take them yourself?

BADMIHAI 06-25-2005 10:30 PM

Excellent photography! :shock: The car is nice too. :wink:

Sick Boy 06-25-2005 10:38 PM

Yes, I took them. I love to take pictures, car related or not.

BTW, is there any photography forum here?

BADMIHAI 06-25-2005 10:50 PM

There's no real dedicated photography forum here. But most of the pictures taken by us go in the "What You Saw Today" section.

Wow! Never seen a Fiat pickup truck before, and I live in the land of pickup trucks!

Are these kind of cars popular where you are? :?: Do you have many big US trucks like the F150 in Brasil?

Nice car, nice pics. Great choice of tyres too :wink:

Sick Boy 06-25-2005 11:15 PM

There are F150s, RAMs and Silverados. The most popular are the smaller ones (well, small by american standards) Ranger, Dakota, S10, Mitsu L200, Toyota Hilux.

The Strada is more like a car than a truck, really. It's based on a Fiat hatch, they only changed the rear suspension. So it drives and handles pretty much like a normal car.

TT 06-26-2005 03:26 AM

Thanks for the custom pics, and stunning photography, congrats! As already said, you can post pics taken by you in the "what you saw" section. Mostly car related, but everything goes in there :D

Did you use a camera mount to take:

or did you have a mate hang out the boot?!

Anonymous 06-26-2005 05:30 AM

Lovely pics dude! As transam also said i haven't seen a fiat pick up ever! not a bad looking one either as they go!. Love to see some mroe of your pics in what you saw today :D

Sorry about having to be all doubtful but if you check out some old topics in here you'll see why custom pics have to be asked for in every case, unfair otherwise.

gis 06-26-2005 07:57 AM

wow never ever seen one of these b4,they actually look pretty good.

whats the power of it with the 1.8? is it the HGT engine with 130hp stock?

I used a long piece of timber attached to the boot, and the camera mounted on the other end of it. It's very amateurish, but it works.
