was helping out building a Formula SAE car today and took a few simple walk around shots when the sky clouded over on a moment of down time....
these shots made it painfully clear i need to practice with this camera a lot more!

2 things, it sits on the exhaust and the UCA's hit the shock towers in the front.
I don't really care if it lays frame. I think unlike a lot of people these days, I put bags in to get the stance I want yet still retain some driveability and hope to get over the speed mountains and insane driveway humps we have in this town. It was a functionalist thing more for me. If I can find new lips, my max aired out height will be fender lips sitting on wheel lips... Or tucked between the wheel lips and tire... Depends on how much I can work the fenders.

When reading through these and seeing what the cars look like I get motivated.

I know but I increase my "scene point" by like eleventy-billion by getting arms and other jazz I don't need, right?
I did finally find a source for quality new lips!
So the arms, and my rear shock drops, will be for dialing everything in perfectly...
Damn shock drops are taking forever to get 3D printed for test fitting, I guess that's the price you pay for free 3D printing rather than the $1000 I should cost me!
