[02Ls1Formula]

[Mr. Luos]

Thanks.
Burnout video....I put used tires on it. Had a friend that worked at a tire shop. Worked out well.

[02Ls1Formula]

ah i see....that reminds me when i was 18 or so me and some friends went to a used tire shop and got a "late night discount" on some old tires, now that i look back on it, it was dumb...but fun....

[hutch1999]

[01 T/A]

[astyles]

"when I grow up, I want my car to be just as MEAN as yours!!"

:hasquint:

[Jays00ss]

Very nice write up and pictures. Got to love Colorado and the images we have here. Love to see what you would run at sea level. Think you might need a cage.

[third_shift|studios]

:ripped: repost

[matthewaqui]

The Videos are well compiled, though you need to invest in a Tripod... either that or all of your shots will look like this :snowboard: By any means, you do have good shots with the camera on the ground. Hit Ebay for a good tripod. Aminova is a brand I went with... quality and low price on Ebay.

Matttttttttttttttttt

[Mr. Luos]

They aren't supposed to be professional videos. :lmao:
Tripod used for some things though.


:ripped: repost
Updated....Mustang lover. :look:

[matthewaqui]

Your front turn signal lights are what color? Red or Orange bulb... they look red

[Mr. Luos]

Orange. Stockers.

[third_shift|studios]

so wheres the vids from the CruiseCam?

[Ryans99LS1]

Gorgeous car man. Great work. Good pictures and videos too!

[Mr. Luos]

so wheres the vids from the CruiseCam?
Used it a few times. The digital camera freaks out when I launch at the strip, so that kinda ruins those.
I plan on getting some donuts here with it in though soon. :yup:

But you are right, I haven't used it all that much for my footage. Haven't really put any videos together lately. At least not ones I have spent a lot of time on.

[Rikki_SeVeN]

hey Luos... do you have any pics of how they made your True Duals?... plz :(

I really really like the Idea... and I'd like to know how it was done atleast... anything special... I'd need to look into?

Thanks in advance!

[Musclefan21]

Thanks.

True. They came off a 1995 Mustang GT. Worked perfect.
But I killed those before I got the 402 in. :D
Since killed a set DanWS6 donated and 2 sets that were also given to me. :lmao:

[Speedy_Gonzales]

I remmeber when you posted the burnout video game and u said you burned up some used mustang tires. I haven't forgotten that. Hopefully i wll burn some mustang tires in the future. a lot of them are cocky, espeially on our local boards. F-bpdy guys are cool as hell!!

I LOVE YOUR CAR CURTIS!!!!!!:nana:

[Mr. Luos]

I LOVE YOUR CAR CURTIS!!!!!!:nana:
Thanks again Erdal.


Needs a couple little things this winter, but nothing is difficult. Just maintenance. Mostly need to change the fluid in the 9" and replace the passenger side axle bearing.

oh, thats not bad at all. I hope i will find a decent black WS6 to myself in summer. or i will have to drive the formula :(

[Mr. Luos]

That Formula looks good man, nothing wrong with it. :yup:

[TempleU_WS6]

Hey Mr. Lous, what kind of Sub frame connectors do you have there? I'm looking for weld ins and wanted to know some options. SLP, UMI? are 3 points better?

[Mr. Luos]

UMI. :yup:
Boxed weld in. Unless you plan on getting a tunnel braced torque arm, then you probably want the 3 points.

I assume the car was on a flatbed before I bought it, and they didn't pull it up correctly. Been like that since I bought it.

[Mr. Luos]

Sometime next summer I hope to get that shot with the better camera. :yup:
Plus, the car looks much better now as well with me learning the finer points of detailing. :yup:

[D_blaze]

Bad ride!!
