Photoshoot - My Titanium Gray RX8 w/ My Friend's S14.5(240sx)

Hey guys, just wanted to share with the community a few pictures my friend took for me. We're just fresh out of high school with not much money so sorry for the stock RX8, mismatched wheels on the 240sx, and mediocre photography skills. I hope you guys enjoy. This will be the first of many photoshoots to come and I promise you that they'll get better.

My friend bought the 240sx from a private seller. At that time, he was asking two different prices for the car, a higher price with rims included and a lower price with rollers.

We talked the guy down from the lower price for rollers because my friend would want different rims eventually anyway. The seller later remembers he had the spacers in the front so he threw the front wheels in for an extra 50 bucks.

Thanks for the compliments, guys! Yeah, the S15 front doesn't flow with the rest of the S14's lines but he likes it. Haha. The color is OEM Nissan cobalt green with gold flakes.

Yeah, it was working perfectly fine until we took that photo. What a coincidence...

I'm getting that repaired as soon as possible.

Very cool pics. You didn't get harassed by security or anything in the parking structure?

Most of the time the security there is pretty cool about photoshoots but you'll run into the one douchebag every once in a while. A security guard approached us and said, "Hey guys, I know this is a great photoshoot area but I might get in trouble for this so just make it snappy, okay?" and then he left. We stayed for about another 45 minutes and he was cool with it.

The pictures really arent bad, well the one with the flash in front of the building might be, but its better than any of my cameras can do

Stock is fine, you have something to build on. Just make sure you are diligent with your maintenance so its around for a long time.

I'm already WAY too emotionally attached to my car. She'll be around for a long time, alright. Maintainance is my top priority at the moment, no aftermarket mods till way later. A stock Rx8 is already too much car for a novice like me. And thanks again for the compliments.

I'm planning on having another photoshoot with the 240sx, however, we'll have a different photographer friend of mine take the pictures.
