Good shots & lighting, reflection in #5 is distracting tho & the car to the right could do with cloning out!

Bet it shifts tho .. :D

You can tell your cousin that he owns what is close to perfection as far as cars go in my eyes. Utterly jealous. That ^^^^ and a GT3 RS and I'd die happy! ;)

Pretty bloody awesome photos of it too actually. I especially like the shape and qualities of the pool of light you've created in the top shot! Nice. :)

4 and 5 are kinda blurry due to the slow shutter speed but the other photos in the set are nice. hopefully the car and pics will be featured soon.

3 & 6 for me. I think they show it off the care very nicely. Cool car...a friend of mine has one around here, but, silver. He's building it up, slowly, but surely.

Nice set...even for a nighttime shoot.

Some great shots of a legendary car. The ITB's wide open would sound awesome, and the exhaust manifold looks superb too! Very nice car...

did you get a permit to shoot on the pier or did you just drive on it?

my cousins asking price is 14k

a lot of people say its gotta be worth more than that because the swap needed fabrications and lots of parts had to be pieced together....thats why there are not very many with ae86 w/ 3sge/3sgte swap unless u have the necessary parts readily available....it sure is common in japan but well...everything is possible in japan for heavens sake...thats like...the promise land of these things LOL....

it was like 4 am when we got there...we just went in ..... we got confronted by the security but we eventually got out of it....and shot the car until 7am we were gonna go to another spot i remembered....but my cousin had to get to work at 9am...and he lives like 40 mins away from santa monica

itb's were hella loud :p but it was music to my ears

love the shots, not too keen on screw on fender flares though. looks like a jeep.
