Prequel

Hey, I'm new here. Just thought I'd post some specs of my car. It's a Black 1986 GT, equipped with a four speed. I plan to pump up the engine a bit more (I've got a K&N Air Filter, and I've pretty much gone top-end on the electrical system, but it's otherwise stock) but keep the body stock. Interior, I was hoping to put a 10" TW5 Subwoofer in behind each seat (they're thin, 2.5") and bump up the rest of the sound without weighing down the car too much. I picked this up from a family friend for $2000 in perfect working condition when I was 14 (I'm only 18 now, mind you) and drove it to Saskatchewan and back no problem last year. Hopefully, if I find the money, I plan to buy another Fiero, preferably a cheap one, and then I'll go all-out with a V8 and exterior modification. I'll try and make it out to the next meet with it. And if anyone could help me upload pics, I'll post them too!

Back is the small town of New Westminster, very close to Surrey. Alright, I'll have to find a way to compress them, they're 2.2Mb big...

And awesome, I thought this place seemed very cool in terms of community. Is there going to be a meet on the 13th?

Sooper dooper. And if I just put my pictures in MS Paint and reduce the overall size, will that shrink the file size as well?

That's got to be the worst job of re-sizing, compressing an image I've ever seen.

I don't know what you used, but a free program that works great is IrfanView.

 

LOL! Yes, it is the worst. I used MS Paint, and did it in three section because the photo was so large.

Yeah, the body work has 1000's of little edges, but it makes a mean lawnmower. =D

It's even got that extra set of two stripes on it above the Aero trim (except it has a red stripe instead of a black one as shown on our "victim" below).

Romeo email me a few pics of your car, to david@westcoastfieros.com and I'll resize them for you and post em.

just use the pant program every pc come with

theres a fuction to strech and skew in the image folder

open your photo  and shrink both vertical and horizontal by percentage

do a save as, renaming and check the file size

if still to large  do again

i shoot my photos  using a 10 megpixel camera and reduce to 10 percent for this sight

The pixels couldn't care less. There's no reason why an 8 meg image can't be resized and compressed properly. Try again!

 

Oops. In my defense, I'm on Vista. =D
