Hey all 
The camera was a Fuji FinePix 6900. Tripod was used to get maximum stillness on the photos. Its my best m8's camera, hes well into photography.
I can put the fullres photo on my webspace if people want to download it.

The Brake setup was made by GODSPEED high performance brakes. The disc size is 335mm. The bells are made from aluminium and are seperate from the disc itself. The items can be bought seperately if you so wish.
I would be weary of posting prices up on the internet as its not my place to do it. Have a word with Ian @ Godpseed. I'm sure he'll sort you out Morty.

Went out and took some stunning photo's of my car last night against a mad green building. Hope you like.
Brake calipers were reconditioned by Ian Godney of Godspeed Brakes. He painted them 86f (Steel Blue) and then laquered follwed by red paint on the Subaru logo.

Hehe. Thanks for the nice comments.
I have Ian Godney to thank for the brakes as i use him to take care of all my needs in that area. Absolutely amazing service fair play. The job he did on the calipers is so good that i think all RB5 owners with OE calipers should get it done
I got the car that shiney by washing it believe it or not. Lol you probably wont believe me but the last time i used swissol to clean the car was months and months ago. I only use swissol on the car perhaps that is why its so shiney.
Extremly useful links and products that keep my car in tip top:

Thanks again for comments.

Forgot to mention that all the photos taken are on Normal Quality. The camera is capable of much much higher res photos but having a 64 meg card we wanted more rather than less as we didn't know how they were going to look. We now know what time to go down to the nuclear building (hehe) so we get the right amount of light. Expect to see more photo's of the car soon.

RB5
The wheels and disk/calipers look the dogs, best and original I've seen for a while.
Out of interest those wheels look mint, have you ever had to refurbish them?
Who did you use?
I have an RB5 too and the wheels look ****e compared to yours.
Well done again.

Hehe thanks guys. Nope the wheels are original. Believe me they aren't all mint. My sister curbed one slightly when she borrowed it and there's some pitting on a few of them. I will need them to be refurbished soon but its finding a good place. I 50% arranged with speedline to recondition the wheels but found that some RB5 owners who are club members used the car daily so 4 days without wheels was a no go.
I'll use wicked wheels i think when i get some money. I was thinking about selling them to be honest and getting Turini's in 17/18". Not sure though, as the RB5 wheel is now £290 + VAT each

[geek mode on]Why's the full-res image only 1280x960?
There's no EXIF information -- do you know how long an exposure it was and at what aperture? I'm guessing at least a second at f/8 or smaller (good depth of field). I'm just trying to get into evening/night shots but so far results aren't that good

Hi.
Godspeed Brakes are a high performance brake manufacturer. They only make brakes and brake kit applications as well as provide calipers, he does recondition calipers fully too hence the pictute you see on page 1. I talk to Ian (owner/proprietor) quite a lot and i think he's on a mission to get some very nice new kit. I wont say any more as its not my place to say it, but i wish him the best of luck in what hes doing.
The camera:
I think i should put geek mode on too as i dont have a clue to any of the questions you asked. It's my m8s camera, model stated above, he set it all up and took the photo's. I know he said something about letting the appeture take longer to let more light into the lense resulting in a better photo at dark. I can ask him for you if you like!

Well with my camera it populates the EXIF fields, so when you load the JPEG up in Paint Shop Pro and go to Image Information|Shot Conditions it tells you stuff like the aperture used, the focal length, the shutter speed, white balance, etc. Very useful for seeing how other people have taken their shots, and attempting to copy them.
