Sorry I checked out over the weekend but we were crazy busy. Do I break any rules if I try and get caught up in one post?
Ken- car looks great and congrats on the delivery of your new toy. Shots look great. You will be learning new crap for years. azn- rig shot look really good! Building a rig is on my list of things to do. edge- carbs/mix gas and air... good stuff. I had a 914 with dual downdrafts and boy were they a pain to tune, but worth the effort. Nitex- looks and sounds great! Ok, now on to what I did over the weekend. Cars and Coffee Williamsburg Saturday morning at the Williamsburg Winery (I am one of the coordinators) and a Z/G cruise along the Colonial Parkway afterwards. Just a few shots. I will post more in the Media Gallery later...

What did I do with my Z....
hmmm...NOT A THING! It's been in the body shop for 2 weeks now getting a bumper repaired after a fender bender. I'm having severe Z withdrawals. Every Z i spot on the road whether a 350z or 370z makes me want to be in it. I am currently driving a 2012 Ford focus 4 SEL. I like some Ford vehicles but i'm not digging this one at all. I just want my Z back. |

beach- thanks and your shots look good ... are you using circular polarizer expecially for the first and last shots? looks like you had a good time.
looks like silver is a hard color to get the exposure correct for cheap LCD viewing as it appears the high exposure area gets washed when viewing in smaller shots... hope i can get more shots in this weekend using the exposure compensation. i have a new circular polarizer coming to me this week along with a hood to compare as well. |

Thanks Ken... PM me grasshopper and I will enlighten you (no pun intended).
MarkeZ- very sorry to hear. I was without my TT for about a year during my build. Fortunately, my wife had a N/A Z32 that I drove to get me by. Best of luck on a speedy recovery! Thanks G2Z! I shoot a Nikon D3. The lens I shot Sat was a 28-300mm Nikkor VR with the VR OFF and just a UV filter. I seldom us the VR feature as I find it softens some of my detail. I shoot RAW and use Lightroom for all of my editing.

I found the same thing with my kit lens when VR is on, the images are slightly softer. Then again, I find that many Nikon DSLRs are set to take slightly softer images than many of the Canons too.

Took a break from my day off domestication to kenchan 25 miles out of the way to go to the Batteries Plus store and pick up some watch batteries for my hygrometers. Turned a 15 minute errand into a hour long joy ride.
I'm really diggin' the way the car feels with the Swifts, although I've noticed that the rear end now makes a lot of clunky noises of bumps and I'm developing more rattles in the hatch area.

hummm... are the springs rubbing against the spring carrier or something? would it help to turn the spring by quarter of a turn or not? ive noticed on some cars the spring rubs the carrier if not oriented a certain way. |

I haven't noticed any noises or clunking since I installed mine. I believe I twisted mine into the pocket to ensure they were seated but it has been a while. Definately no hatch rattles...
