Big Supes Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 The wheels are very cool mate, definitely suit it Thanks mate. I can't believe how much they have changed the car. Once I get some cheeky spacers on, they'll be perfect. Haha definitely mate will be great to see you again and your car too Definitely dude.

Big Supes Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) Had a little play this evening parked under a street light. My new desktop background. It's nearly finished... just need to add some final touches. Edited October 18, 2015 by Big Supes (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Damn mate we need to meet and so you can show me how to use my camera properly lol. That is a fantastic picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 Thanks Jake. I am fortunate to have two very good photographers in my family so I can borrow one of their cameras and just go for a drive. Camera settings are a big factor, but lighting and composition are key if you ask me. When I walked towards my car, parked under the street light on Saturday night, the above picture is what I saw in my head. It was then a case of experimenting and tweaking the settings to get something usable in Photoshop to hide the houses behind and bring out the lines of the car.

Fitz Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Nice a decent set of wheels really set the car off. Are you saving the stock wheels for winter usage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 Nice a decent set of wheels really set the car off. Are you saving the stock wheels for winter usage? Thanks buddy. The only function for the stock wheels would be for any press related events where the car would be needed in stock form. Apart from that, it doesn't really leave the garage during the winter months apart from being pulled out and ran up to temperature once a week.

Big Supes Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 So, a couple of weeks ago I went up to Duxford for my car to featured in Modern Classics Magazine. It was a great day and awesome to meet other likeminded car heads. The magazine is relatively new (this being issue #2), but the guys seem like a great team and if this edition is anything like their debut, it'll be fantastic. I'd like to say a big thanks to Gaz for putting me in touch. It was a pleasure! If you get the chance, pop into WHSmith and grab yourself a copy. Just a little teaser for now... I'll upload more pics this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Supes Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) Onto the next chapter... I've decided on the Getrag 6 speed (420g) from the BMW e46 M3. The pros far outweighed any negatives. Edited March 30, 2016 by Big Supes (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 Had some awesome news recently. Me and Sabrina have just secured our new home and we move in May. We got the keys last week and the first thing I did was see how the Supra fits in the garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Thanks buddy. We're moving to Bursledon. Nice not to far then, we have been looking around there too, along with fair oak and west end way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 Yeah, it's a nice area with access to the motorway, countryside and the beach for the doggy. Whitely is just around the corner as well which I prefer to visit for shopping as it's less hectic than Westquay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra matt Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Very nice mate and a lovely space for you to work on the old girl :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 Very nice mate and a lovely space for you to work on the old girl :-) Absolutely mate! We have an agreement that she can do what she wants with the house, but the garage is mine. I'm going to knock the wall down in the picture to free up some more space, then eventually get digging for pit. It's a nice little project in itself.
