I looked at everything out there. Brembo's, AP Racing, etc. For now, I decided to stick with the stock calipers. But calipers needed some color to them. They blended right in with my wheel centers. And Mikes prices are not bad at all for powder coating.

So I bling them. LOL

Fair enough, they certainly do look good.

Even C&D said that the issue wasn't with the hardware, but its due to lack of cooling. The much heavier FX50 uses the same hardware

Good job yea that lower diffuser isn't cheap.

I installed ARP wheel studs. I did a How To thread. Here's the link.

Installing ARP wheel studs

Got a GoPro Hero3 Black. And bought all the toys for it too.

Been playing around with a mount for the harness bar. It's from RAM Mounts. It's for an atv roll bar. It secures with a hose clamp. Using an external mic. I have it taped to the rear bumper. Between the exhaust. It picks up the exhaust, road noise and some of the wind. The problem I have now. Is that my computer has to be up dated to be able to down load the videos.

Weird. I haven't had to do anything to the computer to get the videos off. You could get a $10 SD card reader and avoid that.

Make sure you update the firmware on the camera! They're buggy pieces of junk without the updates. I helped a friend get his working last weekend at Mid-Ohio. Took great video once we got it upgraded!

Oh! How is that external mic? Do you still need a big dead kitten to get clean sound?

I'm working with a $10.00 computer.

It was a Christmas present from my kid. LOL My old Dell crashed, and my daughter got me this cheap HP. So, I'm going to get another 'puter shortly.

This HP is just a base model to begin with.

I got the GoPro to work great with my computer at work. BUT, I have to watch out for the IT Nazi's!

I could end up getting sh!t canned if not careful.

I put the foam sock on it before I taped it on. You can hear the exhaust, tire noise, and wind. So, yea it needs a bigger dead cat.

I modded my waterproof housing for my Hero3 Black Edition. So that I could use the mic and a polarized filter. Heres the pictures and a link to the filter.

GoPro – Polar Pro Filters New! Cube Polarizer Filter-Hero3 - GoPro - Polar Pro Filters

One thing about the Hero3. You can play the video's from the camera to the tv. You got to see it on a 60" LED with surround sound.

Rusty · 04-14-2013, 04:52 AM

Test I did using the polarized filter and the mic inside the Nismo. Camera setting are 720p at 60fps. I used the WiFi to start and stop the camera.
