Default New S2K Owner

Hi everyone!

I became a proud S2K owner last month and I have been loving it from day one! My S is an AP1 import, 80,000 miles, red / black interior with custom pearlescent yellow respray. It also has AEM V2 cai and I am currently on the hunt for an exhaust system. I live in Fife in Scotland which is not the best climate for a convertible roadster but I am doing it regardless

I have never been part of any forums so bit of a noob in that respect, also not 100% fully knowledgeable when it comes to car technology / modifactions but learning from day to day.

Anyways, any info on basic mods / upgrades to enhance the S2 experience would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers

Kev

I have photos of my S2 that I want to share but cant seem to find an "attach photo" option when writing a post?? Is there something obvious that I am missing?

Cheers

You can just type [ img]http://yourpicture.com[/img](without the space after the first "img"). Or you can click the icon that is to the right of the "" above the text box (says "Insert image" when you mouse over it).

Welcome aboard, Kev! Do you have your photos hosted somewhere already? If not, you can purchase an S2KI membership and host them here. Otherwise, you can host them elsewhere and image link them into your post here.

For example, if you have them hosted on flickr, you have to click Actions, then View all sizes, click on a size (I usually select a medium size like 800x600 or similar), then right-click on the image, select Copy image URL, and then paste (Ctrl+V) that here within IMG tags. Sounds like a lot of work, huh? Maybe there's an easier way.

If you use Photobucket as your image host, they automatically give you the image link code to copy and paste here. It's the "IMG code" option under the Share or Links menu.

If you have a smart phone, you can download Tapatalk and upload images directly from your phone.

If you have a facebook account, you can grab the image URL (right-click on the image, select Copy image URL) and paste it here using the "Insert image" button.

Basically, once you have the image hosted somewhere, what you want to do is obtain the URL that ends with the photo's file extension which is usually ".jpg." Here's an example of what a proper image link looks like:

Code:
Oh and the "right-click on the image, select Copy image URL" is only valid if you're using Google Chrome. If you're using Internet Explorer, the only way I know how to obtain an image's URL in IE is to right-click on the image, select Properties, triple-click the Address (URL) to select it, Ctrl+C to copy, then Ctrl+V to paste it.

Hope that made sense.
