Tiburon

So it's been an interesting journey with the Tiburon to say the least. I've only owned it for a little over a year and already my ideas of what to do with it have changed a million and a half times. First I wanted to make it fast then realized that'd take a lot more money than I felt I wanted to spend, then I got it to a place where I liked it for a while, but of course the itch came back and I needed to do something else to it. A little tinkering here and there helped push back the urge for something big, but still I didn't feel like the car was right. Then came the urge to try and sell it and get a BMW, an urge that I actually still feel but is completely unrealistic. I grew rather complacent with it and my lack of an ability to do something big or really nice to it so it stayed the way it was for a while. Then I found Stanceworks and fell in love with really really low cars. So I decided well that's it, new wheels and suspension for the Tib and she'll be complete. Well, those parts aren't cheap. Coilovers are going to run about 700 on the cheap side to 1800 for a good set, and wheels and tires will probably be close to 2 grand. Thing is, the way I figure, I'm stuck with this car for a while, so I have a lot of time to save. I've tinkered with stuff for the last time I believe and gotten a pretty solid look for the car which only needs the wheels and coilovers to complete it. With that said, I reveal to you the wheels and coilovers I believe I'm gonna rock.

Automotive Enthusiast Films

Ok, so I want to show people that there is a world of "car videos" out there that is above shots of the same JDM angles, shaky one handed driving while holding the camera, and setting the camera on the ground to record a drive by.

These are videos with real production value done by people who are lovers of all things automobilia, in addition to their regular routine.

You can watch them here, but I suggest for maximum enjoyment clicking on link at the top of each video to watch them in HD on Vimeo's site. It's truly a pleasure to see them that way.


We'll start with the Hella Flush meet from this year.

I hope you all enjoy these as much as I do. It's my goal to one day be able to produce such masterful works as these and help make the world of automotive videography a better place.

Hrmmmmmm

Well, I haven't done shit with this. I was hoping it wouldn't come to this, but it has. Need to get in the habit of trying to write here. With that said the next post is going to be a collection of automotive enthusiast films.
