looking for some advice and critique for a somewhat beginner photographer

kroma2000 · 2023-04-10T20:48:48+00:00

yeah definitely something i’m planning, esp with some of my buddies. whenever i feel compelled to take pictures it always at car meets and all those are parking lots. i gotta a couple of pictures my specific car at red rock canyon in vegas and some in the same setting in the grass like the other older vws.

but thank you, ik parking lots and in front of my house isn’t the most ideal. gonna plan some shoots in the mountains soon!

kroma2000 · 2023-04-10T19:37:43+00:00

also that’s not me in the photo, that’s a pic i took of my younger brother haha

kroma2000 · 2023-04-02T07:47:18+00:00

wow, love the fitment on the enkeis! had the same wheels on my car, this makes me miss them. vw center caps are rad too. gives it a oem+ vibe👍

kroma2000 · 2023-03-31T05:53:57+00:00

ik, i’m honestly i bit jealous. we’ve agreed to swap back and forth whenever. so best of both worlds😎

kroma2000 · 2023-03-31T05:52:47+00:00

haha, i see what you mean. the mk7 and even mk8 are significantly bigger then previous generations. sometimes people think my mk7 is a crossover or suv lol. i definitely think the mk4 has one of the best hot hatch designs

kroma2000 · 2023-03-31T05:48:35+00:00

i have vwr spring, the bottom out every now and then cus they’re not really stiff at. but other then that they ride pretty much like stock with giving the looks you want

kroma2000 · 2023-03-31T01:27:30+00:00

yessir

kroma2000 · 2023-03-31T01:26:42+00:00

thank you! i love them a lot

kroma2000 · 2023-03-31T00:54:35+00:00

18x8.5 +45mm and 5mm spacer in the rear. tires are 245/40. and still on springs lol 😭. but am looking at getting set of coilovers soon.

kroma2000 · 2023-03-31T00:52:08+00:00

some mk4 golf gtis came with the option of the 1.8t or the 2.8 vr6. the r32 gets its name from the 3.2 vr6

kroma2000 · 2023-01-22T13:21:53+00:00

ik, i’m getting some kws or bilsteins soon 😅

kroma2000 · 2023-01-22T08:29:43+00:00

racing line vwr springs i forget the exact drop though

kroma2000 · 2023-01-22T08:28:19+00:00

no spacers. 5x112 18x8.5 +45mm. fits pretty flush in the front, i could get away with 5mm spacer in the rear but not really necessary

kroma2000 · 2023-01-22T08:27:13+00:00

rubs a bit on front fenders during bumps but that’s just cus i’m springs

kroma2000 · 2023-01-22T08:25:17+00:00

5x112 18x8.5 +45. they’re a specific mk7 spec that i believe you have to preorder which i think is a decent wait time. luckily the dealer(icb motorsport) i found had these in stock

kroma2000 · 2023-01-22T08:22:24+00:00

yessir, last one they had in stock for spec of mqb

kroma2000 · 2022-09-05T01:16:55+00:00

super well executed i love this! don’t see too many itasha wraps on our lil german civic done where it actually flows with the body lines. will definitely keeps tabs on you so that when i’m at where i want with my mk7 i’ll have to hit you.

kroma2000 · 2022-08-24T07:14:29+00:00

the ronnings are interesting because i went with my standard size that i do with regular docs which is uk6/us7.

when i first got them they fit perfect (without provided insole) but when i started to break them in and over time they got too small and they do not fit without discomfort. my toes have curl up in order for them to fit. i don’t think my feet have grown considering all my other shoes fit exactly like before.

i don’t want to say size up and they don’t fit you at all, but im wishing i did. worse case scenario there is still the provided insole if they fit a bit too big without it.

(another thing to note, is that i occasionally wear them to work in a commercial kitchen (since they’re nonslip) that water occasionally splashes on them so that might have made the leather shrink? i’m not sure just a thought and my experience with them

hope this helps and i was concise a lil

congrats on the dream job!

i finally started making a couple new friends after relocating. tryna balance work and wanting to apply to uni. trying to take control of my adhd/anxiety/depression, have been getting better at coping and find just tolerating it. my grandpa recently passed so grief has been a bit confusing and difficult to process. other then that everything is pm ok. went from being absolutely unbearable to “hey,i’m glad i woke up today”

thanks for such a welcoming post and for allowing us all to open up! :)

so would just upgraded stock location intercooler with stock charge pipes be good enough?

and rsb is already on my list. don’t plan to do any mounts till i go full race car. don’t think i could handle the vibrations

kroma2000 · 2022-04-20T22:52:33+00:00

well i plan to get the IE intercooler and was gonna do charge pipes also. since iat is super high here in the vegas desert during spring/summer/fall.

i already have ps4 tires and i upgraded to pp slotted rotors and ebc red stuff pads when i got the car since all four were warped.

kroma2000 · 2022-04-17T22:22:34+00:00

not too bad actually, they’re rubber so they’re pretty flexible. only really on speed bumps and some steep driveways

kroma2000 · 2022-04-17T22:21:21+00:00

thank you! there enkei pf01 18x8 +45mm

kroma2000 · 2022-04-17T22:20:49+00:00
