Thanks man! I'm still learning how to use all the features on my camera, so hopefully they'll get even better.

 

Yeah, I had my ISO at H1 when we had our shoot, so they're really grainy at high resolution. I'm going to set it to RAW and try out a few more settings.

Yeah, for those shots you probably would've been good at ISO 800.

And next time you guys have a meet let me know. I usually go to MazdasNW meets, but I definitely wanna start going to more RX-8-specific meets. None of the people on MNW really "get" the 8.

 

Well I set the iso because I was just playing around with the settings....Forgot to set it back :-S

 

my window rattles when its rolled up all the way and music is bumping.. it sucks!! haha but i will not be spending anymore money on my car till i swap to the 6 speed this summer

 

How does the paint handle the heat from the engine? Like have you tried racing the car with the covers painted yet? I want to do it, but don't want the paint to like wear off.

 

I haven't tracked it or anything, but I don't exactly drive like a grandma either. I like to push my car whenever I can. The paint's held up fine. None of it's come off or anything. Some people do a coat of heat resistant engine clear coat, but I haven't seen a need for it so far.
