Well in 2009 some guy won some invention contest for the exact idea that I had. The idea was to create a ceiling fan that would simply screw into a standard light bulb socket so that it did not have to be hard wired in. It could go from home to home or room to room no problem as you just unscrew it and screw it into another light socket. Damn it for not executing on my idea back in college.

I created the Swiffer wet jet more or less during a grade school invention contest back in like 1991 or so. I had a mop with a soda bottle about mid way on the handle that held soapy water. It had two tubes that ran out of it and down into the mops sponge. I had a little valve on the lines that could be turned on or off to let the soapy water travel down to the mop. I was told by an Exxon employee (Exxon sponsored the invention contest) that it was a terrible idea

Swapped for new set of Amsoil Nano Fiber air filters for Injen CAI. At the same time it was suggested to remove the panel next to the fang for increased air flow. It works!!. Good meeting Serenity, will have do dinner next time you are in town. Donald you could have posted a better pic of me...lol. Looked like I catching a fly....haha. Steve thanks for the suggestion on the mic for the gopro2, mixed reviews thou on Amazon, still gonna pick it up. LaterZ

ZFORCE, I was shopping an external Hero 2 mic as well. I also took Steves advice on the Audio Technica Pro 24cm. Received it yesterday. Looks like a good little unit. Did a few sound checks on my PC with it and it sounds pretty good. Def some white noise in the background though. The price was right and the size is nice. Its very small and should be easy to mount. Cant wait for my Hero 2 to come in so I can really test it out. Just sold my first gen Hero on Monday and my new Hero2 is on order

Here is a pic of the mic. Its mounted on an OPteka XGRIP that I picked up too for handheld applications. The GoPro will mount on the bottom below the mic.

GMORNING EVERYONE!!!

ZForce · 04-25-2012, 10:14 AM

Alchemy, thanks bro, def gonna add to my collection. Hopefully it will mount to my onborad head rest camera mount S-bar. I also read the reviews about the background noise...humm. How was the sound level? Reviewers on Amazon complained about it...but it may depend on the camera being used. Gonna hold off on the XGrip for time being but liked it after I saw the demo video. Hero2 ??? When did they come out with this? I bought mine in 2011 but don't recall the big sticker on the front with Hero2. Checked GoPro website and did not see any differences.

Reps coming your way,along with Steve and Mr. onzedge (for previous post). Btw guys for the record, myself nor Serenty did not get the Michelin hand stamp the other day at Mr. onzedge's place. And we also yelled five times KONI, and still no stamp.

The Hero 2 released toward the end of last year I believe. Its twice as powerful as the original HD Hero in about every way

I havent done much testing with the mic. Just hooked it up to the computer last night for a quick sound check to make sure it worked.

congrats again.
when im ready to get my pss im also getting stock size. from the looks of it, i think i will probably just get them wrapped on my WEDS when im done with the DW's. no one seems to be selling nismo wheels at the moment...

I would love to have some Nismo wheels. I now get why you think my tires look meaty! That picture I posted up last night was just something I dug up last night on teh interwebs to make Mr. Onzedge to feel better.

yah, about a year ago a local buddy's buddy was selling take off's with less than 100miles for 3K. i should've just bought them.

oh well.

ahhhh, that explains it.

but they do look nice on mr.onzedge's sport wheels so they should look good.

So, I am in the application process for a Masters of Fine Arts program at Brooks Institute to go work on a degree in photography. I have not decided for sure, but am going through the process.

Mr.onzedge, dude, you need to either take a ride on your Z right now, or start modding your Z again!!! Clearly your life is Z-less

Go for it!!! Do it when you can thus you never regret!!

Good Evening OFC fellows!!!!

Except those couple hours of work this morning, I got the chance to post in here, suggest the "Turbo blah blah blah", order the Z polo shirt

, drive the Z the whole day, put the top down at some occasions, 14-15c,

Forecast is saying it's going to rain tomorrow so the Z is going to stay in the garage.

I know, I know..just call me a slacker. I look at it this way tho: every mile more I put on the stockers is just that much longer that I have to wait before purchasing new shoes again!

Darn...electronics are outdated the moment you walk out the store. I have to find an adaptor to connect it to my headrest camera bar. Gonna be a few weeks before I can $$ it. Will need to read up on the GoPro2 differences.
