Newbie from Liverpool

by JonPowellDJ, 07-04-2019, 09:34 AM

Hey,

Thought I would put a new thread up seen as I'm a newbie!

I'm 22 from Liverpool with a Lexus IS200. I had thought of keeping it pretty standard but now i've found this forum I highly doubt I will haha!

Anyhow, Good to meet you all and I'm sure I'll spend hours trawling through the Build Project threads!

Cheers

Jon

Help on Wide angle lens

by Phil01, 06-04-2019, 09:09 AM

Need help, I am after a wide angle lens and was wondering if the wide angle convertor like this,
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/52mm-WIDE-ANGLE-Le...511wt_1139
that screws onto your existing lens is a good as a proper dedicated wide angle lens like this,
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/EX-NIKON-Nikkor-AI...094wt_1139

If I am correct in thinking, would the convertor change a standard 18-70mm
into a 8-33ishmm wide angle.
cheers

Playing with Photoshop?

by Bandit, 06-04-2019, 08:58 AM

Any one else play with there pic's? love trying to change the image so it looks different, can spend hours messing with them, some work out but a lot i end up starting again :whistling:

Some of the ones i've been messing with, still got so much to learn but enjoy trying :thumbup1:











Quite like the desaturated look and the use of the solar tint :thumbup1:

But going to try a few new styles now, and see what i can come up with :whistling:

Can fuel pumps be run dry?

by jimxms, 06-04-2019, 05:18 AM

I want to test a fuel pump I've purchased before installing it. However I know from experiences in other trades that submersible pumps generally don't like being run dry.

On the other hand, I'd imagine that fuel pumps must be able to tolerate it a bit just in case the fuel tank is run dry (unless they have auto cut-off?)?

Advice appreciated.

I'm just gonna leave this here....

Hope mods/admins don't mind but I was after a 'squarer' way to promote OJC on my car as I'm planning to stickerbomb some parts of it.

What ya think?

How to turbo My NA Engine

by Rabster, 04-04-2019, 05:44 PM

OK so im "looking" at the option of putting a turbo on the beast my engine is the RB25de

i would possibly use a standalone ecu as long as a company is happy to work on the Stagea considering the wiring diagrams are hard to come by it seems

anyone know how hard this might be ?
