  1. The new portra stocks from Kodak are effing amazing. They'll blow your mind. You can overexpose the shit out of P800 by 5-6 stops and looks amazing. You should really be over exposing all of the portra stocks, it increases saturation in the colors and looks fantastic. P160 and P400 can over exposed by 1-3 stops.

  2. So ARD is the only place that does manual tunes for ME7? If so, I'd say he has a handle on that (even though it took 2 tries). Where's BlackT5? ARD tuned his and I don't think he's had an issue (took them 2 tries w/ his too though). And also if Lucky's the only guy out there that does these manual tunes, he must know something about what he's doing.

    IPD can manual tune me7.

  3. You mean he doesn't have a fleet of cars to test them all out on the dyno...

    I'll pile on too. I've never done business with ARD. And I'm not on his bandwagon. I did get close to buying a Blue tune, but when he dicked me around and tried doing a bait and switch with me at Carlisle, I bailed. I was angry that he lied to me several times, tried to get more money out of me and having him waste my time for almost a year.

    And Riker, you are obviously under Lucky's spell, so maybe you should just sit back and listen and not try and confront anyone. Mikes ECU was fine for 7 years, and then 2 weeks after ARD tune, it's toast... It must have been his "lucky" day... :rolleyes:

    I will ask one thing, where is this softloader that was promised years ago? How's that coming...

    There was another prominent member here that had an IPD tune for a long time, then had a "custom" tune done by Lucky. Two months later he had a cracked number 3 cyl wall and was pulling the engine.

  4. What Mike said. Looking forward to the other bits from Karl and Alex when the time comes too.

    I'm slowly moving toward that direction. Winter plans are to install air ride, and get the lips cut off the work ewing III's and have new lips made for them. Going to shelve the Gottis for awhile and run something new (no they're not for sale if anyone is wondering). I've been dying to see what the car will look like with a nice set of 16" wheels. The motor and trans work will happen next winter I think. I just picked up a new B20F head so I can do some mocking up w/ the ITB setup. I plan on pulling the block out of the green car and dropping it off at the machine shop to have the stroker setup installed some time in the spring/summer.
  5. Rodney Mullen is awesome.

    A real pioneer in street skating.

    One of the best of all time

    I remember seeing Rodney skate in the mid 90's and I was totally blown away. He had a segment in a 411 video mag and I kept rewinding it over and over to watch his tricks. Here's a list of tricks he invented. Basically all modern tricks are a derivative of his creations.
