I'm not sure. I'm still on the fence of if it's too loud or not (yes, I'm old) and/but it seems to have been getting a bit "mellower" (???) maybe. Of course, one needs to consider that I put *maybe* 50 miles a week on my car, so it hasn't had much time to "break in" in the past week-ish. I still intend to get some audio of it, and that was my plan for today, but Houston... Rain...

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!

Well inside of piping all gets coated in unburnt soot so eventually it adds some resonance deadening...

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.

thoiboi

i herad the plane too

this much unimpressed cul0, i've held you in the utmost regard, don't let me down

i mean you're good with the words play but really video is not your fart-ey.
If you hadn't have made that sonic vid i would just assume you're derp.

cu2wagon

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.

don't forget wind noise...
I was just being a dick, damn thing sounds good!
worth the extra 1.5 kg

cu2wagon

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!"

thoiboi

you might make Acura's IG

I'd better get pestering!

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.

thoiboi

Hit up iRaw, he has some sick authentic Acura 19" rimz bruh! they look good on his civic, I bet they would look swell on your SUV too!

Vaguely what it sounds like inside:

Vaguely what it sounds like outside (with less airplane takeoff sound but more wildlife):

cu2wagon

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.

you NEED the oem black plastic fog light surrounds. yes you do.

cu2wagon

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.

thoiboi

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

Spacers, coilovers...does tein make the basis for $500 for you?
Sounds mean AF too...I love it, Joe.

TacoBello

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

Bruh.... It's a utilitarian beast. Not a stance whore. He needs a lift kit and mudders, not herra frush and tight.

Trust me when I tell you, from one fagwagon to another, low and slow is the way.

cu2wagon

Yeah, Tein has at least three kits; the Basis/Basic, Advance, and Flex, I believe. In the $500/$600/$1000 ranges.

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.

thoiboi

No more wheel gap plus black fogs! MUCH BETTTER!

i like the silver fog surrounds...
but lower and wider makes a huge visual impact.

cu2wagon

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.
