Explain in detail your full time job...i always thought you were self employed and you say my job/ and then you talk about photoshoots...obviously you do photography for both but whats the real situation! just curious
we'll I'm self employed with photography. I have a couple of contract deals with clubs and promoters but I mainly do model portfolios. I do get into other types of photography but it's usually on a rare occasion.
My regular job believe it or not is security at a hospital. So two pretty laid back jobs. I'm trying to get on with exxon through my brother in law when they are hiring again.

But that's it nothing fancy

Hey, I work at a hospital too! Only I'm in the kitchen and probably don't even make half of what you do...

Makes sense now!
I never understood, so mostly photography was a hobby then you decided to throw a little business into it? And i imagine thats paying almost as well as the hospital job.

Photography usually pays more. I started doing a day job for a steady check. I lived off of photography for a few years but got tired of living with busy months and slow months at random. the hospital pays the bills, photography pays for fun stuff.

But yeah, photos started as a hobby, then a friend of mine boasted about me to a magazine owner here (ENVY magazine) and I ended up working for them for awhile and that's when I decided to take it seriously and make some money.

My Enkei's aren't sexy wheels =( haha. I want more clearance with my swap and torque on the ground instead of tire smoke.

thanks :thumbs up
they are sexy, but i thought it might lead to something like ssr, works, volk.

but as for going up to 16s, clearance yes, but wont be more torque unless you go wider. like 9 or 10 wide. maybe to a ccw wide front with skinny rear setup!

because race car

i dont mean a wider contact patch, but the height diameter effects acceleration. The torque from the motor is going to light up 15's a bit easier than some 16's. Not going to be a huge difference but it should make a good impact on daily driving unless i just neglect 1st gear.

yeah it would spin them just slightly easier. maybe another idea would be better tires? something mostly for racing but could work as a dailyish tire

Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec! lol
If i went all out on a tire it would be a BFGoodrich g-force T/A KDW....those are mean.

I like my S-drives though as a daily, they handle very well wet and dry. Ive been thinking of just going with a simple 205/45/16 tire size and will probably stick with s-drives
16 inch ce28's!!!!
I would love to have a set. I think i'm going to run into the 4 lug issue with wheels in 16" =( I really don't want to have to spend on a damn 5 lug conversion.
