I don't even know what GZ means. Anyone? Anyone? Can anyone translate the yooth speak into old man for me?
But judging from the 'cheers' smilie, I think "Thank you" is an appropriate response? So, thanks!

I've been fighting with my camera and mic setup for over a week now and think I might have finally figured out a setup.
First struggle was getting my mic to work with my camera... which seems to have been a struggle only because the mic needed a new battery.
I think I've got the mic placement sorted so it isn't overwhelmed but I might still play around with a better wind filter before going out to a closed course to have a professional driver drive the car while I get some controlled audio.
But a teaser:

Joe, did your car become a plane at the end of the video?
You played around for a week and THIS is what you came up with?
Dude, you made that epic CTSonic video in about 15 minutes while you were crapping and drinking coffee...
something ain't right.

Ha ha, I had to go back and listen for it to figure out what you meant by the airplane noise...
Yeah, that's just the sound of OEM "lowest common denominator" tires on the concrete ultraslab roads around Houston. It does sound like a turbine engine whine!
I have another video I recorded this morning that had a weed wacker buzzing at one point. I didn't use that one because I though it might be too confusing to figure out which was the Husqvarna and which was the Honda.
And, Jeremy, I played around for a week trying to figure out why my mic wasn't working. Because it needed a battery. You should point out how dumb I am for that.
I'll probably just go back to making crappy videos then. I'll be like 99% of the videos out there, just saturated buzzing and nothing but like a 3dB range of discernible audio. Put up the standard, "lol, sry for the crappy iphone recording" disclaimer. Oh, and should film in portrait mode, of course.

After I get all the videos shot, I might go back through and make alternate versions for just the iphone set. Convert to vertical, black bars on the sides with basically no field of view. Then filter all the audio to a really narrow band right around 30 Hz and saturate the rest of it to just a dull hiss.
Put a sepia and HDR filter on it with some serious vignetting and it'll be instagram prime time!
Of course, mandatory full screen "DONT 4GET 2 LIEK an SUSCRIBE!"

But his authentic (Enkei?) wheels are like, stock, authentic wheels.
He needs aftermarket authentic wheels that are authentically made by an authentic brand and authenticated by an authentic authenticator.

Vaguely what it sounds like inside:

Since I had the camera out to record the exhaust videos, I snapped a couple quick pictures. Here is one.
I know it may be hard to believe, but it's daily driven and I keep it dirty.
Liek and Suscrib for more. 1 Like = 1 Surgery for a poor kid.

Man. I flip flop on that so often. I don't mind the silver on this color car. But then I think it would look better all black.
Maybe I'll 'dip it next time I have the bumper off to see if it really looks right before pulling the trigger.

definitely dip dip dip dip dip !
if not just part out the whole care. The fog shrouds were the first thing that stood out in that pic for me too
also the gaping wheel gap

I hope you like potatoes. Because you're about to get a bag of them crammed into your anus.

Roland_Bluntzs has all but convinced me that the SA's are what I need. Mainly because then I can make dumb "check it out... ese (SA)" comments while pointing at my struts. That's probably worth more than the height adjustment.
My curiosity got the best of me, so rather than doing homework like I should have, I mashed my computer keyboard and mouse until this happened:
It's a hack job and honestly, I'm not sure how it came out like it did since usually my efforts look *much* more juvenile. But hey, just like Bob Ross would say, "happy little accidents".
I think you guys might be right about the black fog light surrounds.

I might pick up an extra set of fog surrounds to play with vinyl wrapping. Since I'm 50/50 on black vs. silver, the obvious answer is wood grain.
