My vote is:

cover # 25 :) of course

Then.... 1, 3, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 20, 21, 23

The other thread gave people plenty of time to post pics they wanted to see on this calendar.
I know people are busy, but I'm sure they would've seen the post by now.

As it is, this thread is the only one that counts now. I'm going to ask the other thread get closed.

Till the end of the week guys.

P.S. I do like that unique cover pic... very artistic. :)

Keep on voting!

1 , 5 , 6 , 8 , 9 , 13 , 14 ,21 , 22 ,24 , 25 , 26

1, 4, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 20, 22, 25, and angel's engine bay

i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee #13

i vote number 7 for cover too

16 cars with 6 of them all but stock? Hmmmm nah.

def #22 for the cover, represents a lot of colors and its badass, ill reedit this post to cover my other votes as well when i look thru them again

There were definitely more pictures from the other page that were really worthy. What happened to them?

3, 6, 8, 10, 14, 20, 22, 25 - and Angel's Engine Bay. Actually I want one of NGO's engine bay in there too....

I think the rest are good - but need a snow one for dec - and can't decide on the other 2.

ok not to sound like a dick but im curious is my car on the list?
i cant see a lot of the pics here at work lol
this is my car if you didnt know

Those were posted by me, which I deleted my post in the other thread for several reasons, which also seem not to be addressed in this thread either.
1. Most of those pics were ones that I saved to my local computer for reference, ideas, and inspiration, and I did not own the pics nor had permission from the owners to post/participate.
2. Serveal of the pics had watermaks/sigs on them from the pro/semi pro photographer on them, so they really werent even the owners(of the car) pics(in some cases).
3. If that be the case those pics were screen resolution and not print resolution/size. Either the owner of the car would have to go to that studio and purchase the higher quality image or acquire it by some other means if they didnt already own it.

I think people take for granted the talents of people like Altspace and Anthony Mair who indeed share thier content with us, but the flip side to that is you cant use that content without permission/blessings. IE -I once contacted Anthony Mair about acquiring one of his images in a print ready resolution and he explained the same points to me as well. He was not willing to release that content, and I was perfectly comfortable with that, so I pursued something else.

All that being said I was just posting ideas and examples

Thanks Rotr8. It's just Altspace.

Here's an unedited shot for ya.

Cover: Post #9

1, 3, 5, 6, 8, 11, 12, 13, 20, 22, 23, 24

Pics are lookin' great! Also, thanks for the votes guys.

^+1

I dunno, I think each color should be represented, there are tons of cars not being represented here. And while I am sort of glad my car is being represented in stock form, I think professional photos should be in it. I would love one with the knightsport car, autoexe, etc.

I guess my idea was denied for including other shots of our cars. Interior, engine bay, and other fine details that make the RX-8 unique. I posted those pics in the other thread. Would be nice to see more than just exterior photos. You could even combine the design for each month.

Example:

http://www.altspace.com/rx8/sample.jpg

ha ha, get it?? :lol:

Far too much silver, every color deserves props. Pick the sickest VR, NG, LY, PB, WB, SB, SS, BB, TG, GG, WWP, CW, BC, etc.. etc. Not to mention there should be some 09+ love.

too many chiefs and not enough indians...hes just gonna say screw the whole thing and forget about it
u cant make everbody happy
is my car on the list? i cant see the pictures here at work

Let me know if your ever down here in SFL. Id like to say Ill go up there but thats a whole bunch of E85 I have to take with me. I dont know about north FL but down here we only have a few gas stations that offer it.

No, your car is not on the list. Shit another SS on it? Might as well just make a SS calender.

aggree, but I think with people posting exteriors this idea got lost in the begining, again wasnt really thought out.

well dang that sucks
this thing is rigged then hahaha :yelrotflm

some great pics, but artistically speaking, the first 11 are all almost the same..in terms of angles etc.... i,e all front cars 3/4s...

Hows about a nice selection of difertn stuff?, i.e some detail shots, and different angles etc....
But I will say:

3, 6, 8, 13, 17, 20, 21

And then some other stuff, eg joels engine bay, and some nice different shots....

I thought this was suppose to be fun. But its slowly becoming a chore. I can see why no one else ever offered to do this.

I asked for people to post pics in the pic thread. There were many entries. Alot of them already had water marks on them and a few would not fit the calendar layout properly (dimension wise).

Since I'm doing this on my own, and no one has bothered to ask me if I need help, I took the majority of the pics posted in the other thread, and transferred them here to this new thread.
Now that I've got a convenient location for everyone to see, there's still people who are complaining about this pic and that pic.

On top of that, other people are complaining the layout of the calendar is not to their liking.

No one has seen the finished product and already they're complaining its not going to turn out alright.

To those people who have voted and suggested a few things, I thank you!!

To the other people who have removed pics already watermarked, and are suggesting unreasonable requests in the short time frame I have to do this before the Xmas holidays, if you don't like it, don't purchase it! Its as simple as that. If you think you can do a better job, then by all means, get it done! Its easy to complain when you're not the one attempting to bring something to a good car community such as the RX-8 people. But of course, there are always the people who think its never enough!

I guess RX-7 people have more faith in others than RX-8 people.

I appreciate everyone's input in this calendar. Fri. is the deadline. If I find a few more pics posted in this thread, and if enough people like it and vote for it, then I will do a final revision and complete the calendar.

I will post the final product, with the allowed pics, and away it goes.

Let the voting continue! :)

^ :lol: Just do it.

I'm not complaining, simply offering advice and suggestions since this is what I do for a living. Also note that any photos I have posted can be adjusted to fit the final specs. I hope the plan is to use at least 150dpi photos.

not saying i didnt make it because of picture dimensions...maybe my car is just ugly lol
but exactly what dimensions do a picture need to be for the calendar for future reference

well said sire . The backchat was always going to happen - just ignore it all and get on with the job you set out to do .

i'm sorry if anything i said was disrespectful (i don't think i did though...) but i definitely appreciate your effort Neo.

the only constructive criticism at this point is, and i know it's a function of timing, that we rushed the picture submission process. I was traveling for work last week, so i didn't have time to wash my car and take a few pics. Also, and i think it's related to this point, i think altspace is right that we need some "unique" pics...like showing the cool shift knob, or rotary emblem in the seats, or an extreme close-up of the new r3 wheels. but i certainly understand that, and other ideas, are taking it from "fun" to "chore".

i'd recommend you just continue as-is; it'll be nice to get the first calendar done...there is always next year to fill in any gaps overlooked or rushed with this one.

sincere thanks -

this calendar needs some more colors. too many silver and red cars. here's a pic of my WB, LMK if you need more pics.

I've always loved Winning Blue.

By all means, as I stated in my last post, if you've got some more pics, and people vote for it, I'll include it in the final calendar.

I wouldn't mind adding a nice Yellow, white, or blue shots. It just works out not too many people posted with any of the other colours.

Keep it coming!

ok, well here are some more of my pics.

I love your car dude. Except the auto part :lol:

hey now. :nono:

Tony it would probably benefit you and others if you limited yourself to one or two pics, that way votes dont become scattered over the 14 pics you have posted,

^ yeah i agree - nuke they're all nice, just post 2 or 3...really any one of those would get my vote, so long as your car gets in.

altspace...can you (maybe you have already) post that interior pic that's in the bottom right corner of the one you posted above? THAT would be a great interior shot for the calendar, at full size.

Just bustin' your balls brother :lol:. The attention to detail and planning of your build is something many should strive to copy. I can't wait until you get everything sorted.
