Nice FC.

Before I got my 8, I drove an 1987 Sport RX-7. I handed it down to my son after 17 years of service.

Long live the Series 4!

The pics don't do the camera justice but that's a cool car. Reminds me of my 1982 280ZX Turbo. Man I have kicked myself many times for selling that one.

For the TLC comment, this is a very good condition TII when you look at most.

As for the Camera quality, I know I was in a hurry and I'm shooting on a small(128MB) card(temp until 2gig comes in mail) so I used the worst quality resolution and in full auto. I'll wait to take it to a better looking location to go into manual.

As for the custom plate, my last name is "Rowe" so it really fits.

I plan on taking good care of it. Also, it is remaining stock in the engine bay. all upgrades I plan won't hinder reliability. these would be weight, suspension, brakes, and maybe a flywheel + clutch. The only thing touching the engine itself that may get an upgrade is the exhaust and intake. Exterior and interior stays stock.

Just throwing that out there for those who think that all 16 year old rice cars out. Or drive insanely.

It doesn't look like it was taken with the rebel xti.
Well, it's not always the equipment, but more is expected from those cams.

is that the 10.1?


Here's mine
3.2 Casio Exilim
Actual Res:2524x1168

It's the XT not the XTi and it's 8.2 MP. The last pic was taken in either medium or small file size. It's my first camera all together so I think I did a pretty good job with it. That was also my first non-kit lens. The 50mm F1.8. This is maybe the 400th photo I've taken ever so I think I am on my way. Also I can't really use htis as an excuse but i'm 17 years old. Really I lack experience, I just got into photography in the past year when a friend of mine got a Rebel. I don't know how to convert from RAW with CS2 (I have CS2 just don't know how to convert) so I use JPEGS.

Nice pics '87 Turbo II.

and nice car.

Please don't take offense to this but I have been seeing more Ford Probes around and for some reason when I first look over I think is that an RX-7? Mind you most of the time it was night time when I have thought this but I see where they took some of the looks from the 7 to make a decent looking car. (When the Probe came out it was the car I wanted). Particularly the front clip and somewhat the profile look like the FC.

I'm hoping for the rebel xti for my coming bday soon.
My GF might give it to me.
I just did a quick search for the xti 10.1 start kit for $639.
I'm definitely getting that for my bday.
I've been stuck with my 3.2 exilim for a long time now, time to move up. I don't know **** about photography. I'm sure you know more.

I'd like to see night shots.


Thnks.

You are correct about the ford probe resemblance, and especially with those fc with boxy kits that which makes it look like camaros.
