Is the car electric powered? you must be the first to build an electric Indy,well done mate!
Where does the power lead go when you're ready to drive off!

To re size an image you will need a photo/paint programme like photoshop or paintshop pro. Even one of the free image editors that come with digi camera/printer software will do.

Open the image

click on Image size and there should be an option ro change the size of the image. I would got for 200 pixels wide max. Save the image as a .jpg file on your hard drive and upload to either your server or to your photo archive then do what these people have said and update your profile.

Hope this helps a bit

You don't need any fancy programs, good old 'paint' will do for resiving pictures, its bound to be lurking some where on every PC in the country.
