Every spare minute I’ve had this week (lunch breaks and nights included) I’ve been working on finishing the Clio off.
After I fitted the air box/filter to the ITB’s I knew I wanted to do this photo.
Enjoyed doing another strobist shot, need to do more!
I also took a little setup photo so you could see where the flash/umbrella were placed
I’ve been driving the car on and off now for a few weeks. I’ve had my mate Phill at G&G Motorsport check the map out, and it’s not far off. Need to get it on the rollers soon for a proper map but I’ve got my MOT due in a few weeks EEK!
One things been really bothering me though – the 2nd hand Jenvey setup came with some really old disgusting sock filters. I hated them and they were falling apart so I started looking for a better alternative.
I found a company called Reverie who make carbon back boxes for the Pipercross sausage filters – but these back boxes can also use a full carbon airbox which is what I want eventually.
While I was at autosport international I bumped into the owner of Reverie and had a good luck at the kit and eventually handed some cash over and came home with a back plate.
I ordered a sausage filter from Burton Power which turned up next day and I set about fitting them. Was very nervous cutting carbon fibre but all went well! I even cut a little hole in the box for the air temp sensor which tidies the install up a treat.
Yesterday I headed over to Autosport International at Birmingham NEC.
Excellent show, some brilliant cars, including this insane 205 with an evo engine in it!
I also managed to pick up some carbon air box goodies for my Clio, and got a load of ideas for other things I’d like to do this year, including a digital dash setup and datalogger!!
I want to get more into photography again this year, so I’ve decided to do a Project 52
A photo every week for the whole year.
You can see them all on my Flickr, but I’ll also post them all on here with a little bit of a description about the photo.
This week I helped my mum clear all my old toys/games/photos out of her loft. I found lots of goodies like my old top trumps and lego – but also my scalextrics set!!!
I got home and set it up straight away and decided to do a bit of a strobist shot
This was taken with my speedlight on a bracket directly above the track, long exposure and 2nd curtain sync on the flash.
