Topic: My Betty now sold.

[GrantC]

Now how can I post pictures on this forum?? I feel stupid!!

Host the pics on somewhere else.

Imgur, photobucket, flickr, etc.

And then put the url (that includes .jpg) inside of [img][/img] tags

At the registries, her status was "rebuilt". Judging from the inspection paperwork, I'm guessing the EJ25 has about 10K on the chassis. This is the second time I lucked out my 911 longhood had a 2.2E MFI (Porsche's secret weapon)
The strut bars have been removed but still has the adjustable shocks. I'm very happy with her. The first one I drove was bone stock Betty feels like a whole different car. I love looking at those old autocross photos. She has history and character just like Herbie!
She needs brakes, the willwood rotors are worn right down to the slots.
Now how can I post pictures on this forum?? I feel stupid!!

I hope we'll be seeing her out to race when the summer season starts again.

Jackal, unfortunately she's not going to make a racing appearance this summer. I have to concentrate on another project "Cynthia" 2.0 T4 Porsche 914. I'm currently installing a CB Performance digital throttle body injection system...and possibly a second kit for a friend. I'm tempted to install a Renegade hybrid Ej25 but I rather save up for a FF818.
I'm almost done photos coming soon.

Yup,  that's her. Maybe I'll get to see her at a meet sometime.

There's a non Subaru project thread and I'd dig seeing the 914 you got going as well.

Are those SRT4 wheels?

Are those SRT4 wheels?

Shhhhhh.... Maybe he bought it that way.  I liked the orange Gram lights myself,  but to each their own. 

[jvd]

Looks better than the brown furniture paint.

[Spyderman]

That would HAVE been nice, those orange gram lights looked sweet! I bought her with the stock wheels and Good Year Assurance rubber. My bad experience with Good Year Assurance all seasons was with my A4, I slid two blocks uphill and plowed into a truck, never again!

I had a set of SRT4 wheels with winter rubber kicking around. I thought it looked nice... thinking of spraying it with gold plasti-dip after I service the brakes... what do you guys think?

[jackal]

I'm biased towards big blocky wheel spokes myself. 



I do think the wheels would look better in gold though.  Watch out with the plasti dip though.  Our resident hate on Plasti dip guy LDS may say something.  lol

[ultimatt]

I don't think they look bad, I'm just surprised they fit. I figured the hub bores would be vastly different.

[Spyderman]

The SRT needed a set of hub centric rings. Betty handles on rails! Just a little worried that the Dodge technology might not take the lateral load.

Nice set of wheels... and the red interior! I'm jealous! ... and how the heck did you post the pic on the forum? I'm going nuts trying to figure it out.

This post explains it pretty well:

http://www.westernsubaruclub.com/smf/index.php?topic=12481.0

"The upload folder is full. What do I do?"
"I can't attach my pics, they're too big!"
"I've never used a forum before." *goes crosseyed and jumps off a cliff*

If any of these statements or actions have applied to you, then here are some answers.

If you want to put pictures into your post, please create an account on a photo hosting site. This allows people to see FULL size pics in full quality. Then when you post a "WTF is this wire doing here?" picture, we don't all have to squint because you had to reduce the picture to this:



Create an account on a photo hosting site. Here are a few suggestions.
http://www.flickr.com/
http://photobucket.com/
http://picasaweb.google.com/

http://www.google.ca/#hl=en&source=hp&q=photo+hosting+site&btnG=Google+Search&meta=&aq=f&oq=photo+hosting+site&fp=77ef83dc48050ee0

All of these sites have free and subscription options. They all have their ups and downs, pros and cons. They also have their own purposes. Make sure you choose the right one, or you'll have things happen that you didn't want to happen. Run out of bandwidth, run out of space, have pictures "disappear".
Flickr is a photographer community. It allows you to comment on and tag photos.
Photobucket is starting to add more and more features like flickr, but I find it to be more of a picture dumping site.
I deal with Flickr and photobucket, so those are the two sites I'll give you some pointers on here.
I'm not going to teach you how to take a picture and upload it. You can finger that out.
What I will show you is how to get the uploaded photo into a post on WSC.

Photobucket
First, figure out what works for you.
http://photobucket.com/pricing

Once the photo is uploaded, Photobucket gives you a list of ways you can share them.
Note that WSC uses BBCode, so you will want to look for the [ img] tag lines.
(FYI, RTFM: http://www.westernsubaruclub.com/smf/index.php?action=help;page=post#bbcref )

Find the line with the img tag, and copy it. In the below example, it's the fourth option.



The line of code you will be copying looks like this:

Code: [Select]

[IMG]http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n382/cksiz/funny/failporsche.jpg[/IMG]
Now you can paste that code into your post, like so:



Hit post (because at this point, I'm sure you've already hit the Spell Check button), and you will see your fancy picture now embedded in the post!!



Flickr
First, finger out which one works for you:
http://www.flickr.com/help/limits/#28



Flickr is a bit of a different dog, because according to the Community Guidelines and Terms Of Use:
However, Flickr has finally acknowledged that BBCode forums exist on teh interwebnetz. As such they have made this pretty easy.

To get the appropriate URLs to Flickr images, click the icon that looks like a box with an arrow coming out of it (the now universal icon for "share") in the lower right side of the picture.



Click the down arrow beside "Grab the HTML/BBCode".
Select the BBCode radio button at the bottom.
Select the size of image you want to display on the forum.



Copy the precoded section into your post.




IMG_4131 by snackerz, on Flickr
Easy peasy.

Notice that if you hover over (and click) the above picture, it will take you to my flickr page and photo. (Notice also that ALL of my images in this post are clickable, except the very first one and the failPorsche because they are not hosted on flickr)

Thus concludes another session of snackers "Do this cause you guys are pissin me off".
Notice I did not use the "attach file" in this post, because WSC is a forum. Not a file server.

If anyone uses one of the other photo hosting sites and want to post the same sort of "how to", go for it.

 
 
I am eager to see some pics of what the wheels look like on the car
 
 
 
ALSO, if you want to change the name on the thread permanently, you have to hassle jackal or one of the mods to change the title of the first post

[jackal]

Nope. Lol.

I think the new direction for the project should have its own thread.
