I know you didn't ask me, but I've got nothing else to do right now! :thumbsup

1. You need to upload pics to a server (that allows hotlinking) on the internet somewhere.

2. Where you want the picture to be you need to type for example: the url here (no spaces though!)

3. The url would be the address where the pic is on the remote server for example http://www.aurigenmedia.com/ava/355ava.jpg

4. When it is all put together it displays like this http://www.aurigenmedia.com/ava/355ava.jpg

Hope it helps! :thumbsup

PS- If you need a place to host pics for free I think www.photobucket.com is still taking new accounts and allows hotlinking.

That blue dodge is that supertruck down at blackhawk last month. It backfires like a bazooka when he lets off the gas.

That truck is a FULL Race car underneath that truck skin.

looks like a NASCAR truck.

WOOOOOOOOOOO
Baby, road race tires!
they are so much nicer than street tires.

How much did ya pay for them?
what type/brand?
OH YES, bleed the brakes!!!!!! the front calipers need FRESH BRAKE FLUID!

I would like to get a set for RA too,
i'm shopping.

got any leads for 17x9 wheels that fit F-body
that i can get cheap & put slicks on?

I need the slicks (road race tires) & wheels.

Dan, your guna have fun!!!!!!!

I am tentatively hoping to make it, will be cutting everything close, if all goes well I will make the Oct 9th GLD King of the HWY contest AND the SpeedSeekers Oct event, if all goes OK I will only make SpeedSeekers, if Murphy's Law has it's say in the matter, I won't make it to either and I'll just be lucky to even make it to GLD Test and tune yet this year! :puppyeyes

Hopefully I'll be able to do this again!!:

Ha thats a great picture!!!!!!! Do they make upgraded sway bars for your truck?

Hotchkis makes a kit for my truck (the one I have) That has sway bars that are just a HAIR bigger then ones that come on an SS or Firehawk :D

SSmike1
09-05-2004, 01:01 PM

YES, awesome picture, right where they tires are at MAX traction.

WHO TOOK THAT PICTURE?

I'd pay them to take pics of my car like that! :wooo

Edmund himself. We have him come to all our events. Somehow he WILL have pictures of your car on the track if you make at least one session of the event. He then sells them to you the Sunday of the event.

Here is his site: Photographic Imaging by Edmund (http://www.photobyedmund.com/)

Thanks guys! Edmund does great photos, I bought $40 worth, but believe it or not that photo was actually NOT by Edmund and instead by Popular Hot Rodding magazine!! Probably Jim McIllvane. Check it out: http://www.popularhotrodding.com/events/0409phr_speed/ if you look on the "Road America Reloaded" section and click on my picture it's the same one. It's the best out of all the photos I've seen.

96S10 I think the Hotchkis bar is the same for any S-series truck, a friend of mine in Chicago has the rear bar he says he'll sell me new for $ 250, I know it's bigger than the BellTech/STQ one but the BellTech "BEL-5520" is only $144 at Summit Racing, any thoughts?? I figure any sway bar will be a major improvement over none! Did you see my post about brakes?

09-05-2004, 07:24 PM
thats what i thought,
because, i have bought the pics from Edmund,
and he has never taken a picture of my car from that angle,
in T5.

I would love one tho.
