I read the thread, but didnt see the link. What camera mount did you get, and are you clamping it to the strut crossbar?

I hope I won a cooler or two, could really use it.

The current core on RCZ's car keeps things below 260 which is okay but great, I would prefer below 250 and would love below 240.

In the video a few posts above, I'm still using that flexible tripod that I used before, which sucks for a car. I ordered the one RCZ linked in his journal, but it's not here yet.

Got that camera mount in today (the one RCZ linked: Full Stillen Bolt-On Setup - Videos! ).

That thing is a beast, really well made. I stuck it on the inside of my car mounted to the rear glass when I went out for lunch today, worked perfect. Not gonna post any footage from today, most of it was totally uninteresting

But it really does mount well, and I'll go shoot something worthy with it later in the week.

Awesome! Its such a good mount, I drove with it attached to my door on the outside at 90+ on the highway untethered

Did I mention I have accident insurance on the camera?

Was that temperature, speed or both?

For the record, Travis is the one that mentioned them with the part number

SB1010 is the correct one for the Sport Calipers. Not sure on the non-sport, haven't played with those yet.

Very cool idea wstar.

You had mentioned measuring your intake air temperature before, were you able to do any comparison before/after?

Most of the insulation is post-MAS, so post-sensor. I doubt I'd see much difference in behavior. Maybe later once the front parts under the bumper are shielded up too.

Taking advantage of DDM's Memorial Day sale, ordered a PC680 battery, bracket, and a set of Hotchki's swaybars.

I know, especially with the underdrive pulley, I'm taking a risk with the tiny battery on a street car. I figure if it starts being problematic, I'll just set up a trickle charger in my garage for anytime the car will be dormant more than a day. I think it'll work out ok. Plus getting the battery moved will allow me to move forward with the rest of the trunk changes (getting a deeper liner/carpet fabbed that covers my battery/tools and frees up a bunch of cargo space where the sub/spare used to be).
