long one is placed in a good position, shame its shaky.
Your car sounds nice :)
Gonna try relocating the shorter one, if that fails will strengthen the longer one
buy one ya cheapskate! :lol:
Why when i can make one for 41p
I'd rather save the extra £60 or so and spend it on making the car faster...or on beer :lol:

Can't argue with that....you need it :wink: :P
Looks good mate!
I was tempted to make a mount up....but am just gonna save my cash and buy a proper mount and newish camera in the summer.
Will only use it for 1/4miling anyway! :D
Camera cost me £30 delivered brand new off ebay, mount cost me 41p
:shock:
What camera you got?
I'm not up on whats best for taking vids etc...but at a low price!
Can you put vids from a Mini DV camcorder onto a pc and edit them?
What is best?
I have the DV182 off ebay, chinese piece of shit, but already dropped it heavily and still works:)
Takes an SD card, so i just take it out and put it in my SD card reader
Lunner do you have the 16v top dash on your RSi?
Do the gauges work?

lunner, are these cams good? (your vid looks ok :) )
and how did u make a mount for it?
This is what I did for mine. Just masking tape the legs down. A great view out of the car.

Also if you want to reduce the shakes from the footage - use virtualdub with deshaker filter. Both freewares. Makes the movie nice and smooth.

that looks ok, but surley 1st time you blast it away from a standing start the camera and mount tips backwards and smashes on the gearstick/handbrake
lol :)
Strong masking tape or drive slowly :)
It weighs about a big packet of ciggies, so very little mass to throw around.

lol, what does "drive slowly" mean :twisted:
LOL drive slowley is never even mentioned on a track day lol
lol, what does "drive slowly" mean :twisted:
Public roads:-
Slow driving - Up to 30mph
Normal speed - Up to 50mph
Really, really fast - Up to National highway speed limit
Track driving:-
Anything up to National highway speed limit. Would be very dangerous for non-certified, non-professional drivers to handle anything above that.
SERIOUS! O:)
