yah, weekend's suppose to be sunny and cool so im looking forward to my drives. :tup:

im trying to decide if i want to replace my hose clamps for my HPS tubes or not. it's 100% for cosmetic reasons but they sent me regular worm clamps in my kit last year because they were back ordered on their oem type nicer clamps.

HPS sent me the nice clamps afterwards and they have been in my parts bin for 6months or so. :D hahahaha. it's kind of a pita to replace since i need to take off the strut bar to install the HPS tubes.

lucky you, I would rather run some errands right now.

Yeah weekend looks promising, so im hosting another cars and coffee followed by a cruise :icon17:

I like some eye candy in the engine bay so I would do it :tup:

:iagree:

Mr.kenchan, Sat is your 'motor day', why not doing it at least you feel much better when you open the hood plus you w
open the hood alot. :icon17:

Mr.ZMan8, thanks, wanna switch? LOL :icon18:

sure if you dont mind working 13/14 hours per day this week :tup:

That's all? What a slacker! :hello:

I feel your pain, I'm an accountant too except it's my CPA firm that's causing me grief.

What I didnt do was drive the Z, she did. I picked this up today!!
2012 GTI base 2door 6MT :) Good compliment for the 370! Fun, sporty and suprisingly nice on the road. Good vehicle for sport or more practical times.

sounds good about the cars&coffee. :tup: yah, i think im going to change the clamps....

i better change the clamps...

ok, ok, looks like im going to be swapping out the clamps very soon. :tup: :icon17:

:tup:

nice! :tup: i was possibly looking at the 4dr hatch later on as my winter dd.... not committed yet. will need to see wat mazaduhdoodoo brings for the next gen MS3 without the stupid grin facia. :D

haha don't worry my cpa firm is :ugh2:

:tup: very nice new ride.

I have one word for you:

Fahrvergnügen

:tup:

does that mean 'you should've bought a mustang' in german? :icon17:

Close. :tup:

:yum:

nice, mustang. i want to get a camera that mounts to either the rear strut bar or the passenger seat headrest.

any recommendation? :)

Dealer called and left me a message. Turns out he cant get it to grind, suprise, suprise. They are keeping it overnight. Good thing is he didnt once mention my mods:tup:

I will think happy thoughts for your Z overnight.

I like the GoPro. You might need to make a custom mount, though.

I haven't yet tried this one out, but it should be awesome since it has the external mic input. The Audio Technica Pro24-CM sounds really good and I have a 25 foot extension cable for it so I can mount the camera on the front splitter and the microphone between the exhaust tips. :yum:

:iagree: And by happy thoughts I mean "hope it grinds like hell" when they drive it tomorrow!

hope they find the problem! :tup:

I just mount my go pro from the rear windshield. Gives the perfect view. You can see out the windshield, me shifting and even my feet manipulating the pedals :tup:


Thanks for the good wishes Mr. onzedge!

Lol :tup:

Yeah, that's what I meant.

thanks! looks like your vids are going to have some nice sound effects. :yum:

cool. so you're just using the suction cup on the glass then? :confused:
is the basic go-pro good enough for taking vids and recording interior audio (like wat i can hear of my exhaust, etc) ? :)

Stay out of the GTI or you will buy it. It nailed me :):happydance:

genau :)

:tup: i think GTI>MS3 so i dont doubt that! :D

alchemy, mustang, is this the camera you're using? :confused: Amazon.com: GoPro HD HERO2: Motorsports Edition (2011 Model): Camera & Photo

interesting... I prefer the MS3 over a GTI.. not a VW fan at all... And everytime I drive my friends Mazda it impresses me for the money

hummm... idonno, something about the MS3 lacks it being special (lacks character). GTI has a special feeling... like yah, you're in a hot hatch kinda feel.

Yes to all the above:tup: The sound quality of m4a1's setup will be much better of course. Interior sound shouldnt be a huge prob although it will also pick up the interior road noise as well as the exhaust.

Here is a vid I made last year, the camera is mounted right next to the licence plate. Sound is pretty decent. Wind is a big factor is keeping sound quality. The rear mount def cuts down on wind noise. Skip the first min on the vid to get to the action.

:confused: :icon14: :eek: :icon14: :confused:

:eekdance:

:icon18:

Hope the gear box grinds like hell tmr draw all their attention thus they don't notice the mods. :icon18:

Im going to go slow on this car. Went too crazy with my other vehicles.
