dmp you have any profiles for neatimage couldn't quite figure the program (pro version) out.

Also this is a good of a place as any to ask, do any of you have spare zoom lens for sale, something with better glass and lower fstop at full zoom than the Sigma i mentioned earlier.

Yeah - Neat can be a bit tricky - when I get time today I'll try to walk you thru how I use it.

I may be selling my 70-200 f/4 L soon. I'll get you a note if I decide to sell it, and you're interested.

Polak, your car looks great. Since your JIC Magic wheel GB fell through I've been looking at other wheel choices and the RP03 is up there on my list. How do the 9.5 +38s work for you? Any rubbing front or rear? They look mean as hell! Any suggestions on where to get them in that size? Oh, and could you clarify what size tire you're running? Your sig says 275 but you posted 265. Thanks.

They are 265/35 AD07s.
Whats odd is 265 ad07s are wider than 275 rt-615s, you'd think a mm was standardized

Because i am at 26'' ride height i had to use one of these: https://www.rx8club.com/showpost.php...7&postcount=36

If i had run the narrower 275 RT-615 or stayed at stock ride height i don't believe it would have rubbed.

The advan has a nice wide foot print compared to tires of the same supposed size due in part to its very vertical sidewall. Part of the reason why I absolutely love them, gives a very agressive look.

Once again absolutely love the car, very tastefully done. Probably one of my favs on the boards.

really didn't measure the drop before and after the coilover install, they are KW variant 3s see my signature for the group buy, but ride height is set at 26''.

good fix!

DMP, what i did was put the picture through photomatix using the raw image. It then made a "fake" HDR pic which was able to bring out the sky a bit more.

My guess is Polak did a similar procedure.
