I am still getting down driving around town smoothly. You will kill me right now trying to race. I don't trust myself enough yet to even shift within 1500rpm of the red line. Most of the time I am driving right now I am shifting at 4000-4500 tops which means I am barely even in boost at all.

CCColtsicehockey

So basically I have hardly ever even used the top 125hp in the RPM range of 5200-7600. Partly because I am still worried of damaging the engine with a bad mishift and the other part is I just don't need another ticket right now. I think the only time I really pushed the car was once when I took Jack for a drive and chirped tires in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gears.

ACCURATEin

lol well you better spend your 3 day weekend working on your shifting skills. I've racked up a lot of miles with my 6mt and it's so engraved into my driving that sometimes when i am driving the automatic lexus i go to push the clutch in, and one time i mushed the brake pedal thinking there was a clutch. hahaha

So go crank that motor and start driving around. Otherwise there was no point in doing all that to your motor.

CCColtsicehockey

I will learn it fully overtime. Family in town this weekend though so I will be playing a lot of golf.


I think you should use the D90 for IA cause I am thinking of buying a video slider and then you should let me borrow the D3200 I can also teach Megan how to shoot video out the window with varying depth of field using the 17-55mm lens on it. I am really debating on the GoPro Black it is the only one I will get if I get one but if I do I will be in full video mode for going to IA. It is going on three plus years that I have wanted to get into video stuff. The only thing holding me back is I need to figure out how much getting my AC to work is going to cost me.

ACCURATEin

Something tells me you have put more miles behind the wheel of a golf cart than you have completed shifts in your TSX. This speculation is due mostly in part to your myriad of trump national golf course posts in the previous months.

CCColtsicehockey

Only been to the trump course 3 times this year. I have put almost 3k miles on the TSX is complete. I actually think I am going to need to do an oil change before going to IA.

cmykenny

Beat-Freak...

ACCURATEin

All of this IA talk is making me excited!

It's gonna bring back memories of nopi for sure.

ACCURATEin

We need to start getting orchestrated and make sure our acura convoys are on point. We shall roll around in good form.

Tyler you know you want to go.

CCColtsicehockey

I agree. I am already coming up with video ideas in my head. Ones that I may or may not have any idea of how to actually achieve though.

Some inspiration.

ACCURATEin

You certainly have a stronger appreciation for videos once you've tried to make one. It takes a lot of time when you start adding special effects.

I might try and get a slider before the trip.

CCColtsicehockey

Oh definitely know the feeling for sure. I did video year book in school for 3 years and then when I played high school hockey we always did a end of year video which I would always do a final section of the video timing the hits to the parts of the music. I used Here Comes the Boom by P.O.D. lined up with hits.

I need to find it and upload it to vimeo sometime.

Beat-Freak...

Good Friday morning everybody ! Doing a little online shopping.

Hopefully i will have all my audio stuff finished for the trip next month.

CCColtsicehockey

I still need to order new power wire for my engine bay rewire I want to do before IA. Having trouble coming up with all the measurements I need though to know how much 0gauge to order. Wish I could find a place around here that so 0gauge blue and 0gauge grey Stinger power wire.

ACCURATEin

woot i love online shopping! haha Let's all buy something today.

Might actually go wash the TL at some point.

75 tomorrow! oh mah gawd!

Beat-Freak...

We should have a car wash day, then throw some steaks on the grill.

ACCURATEin

CCColtsicehockey

My car washes take forever and I usually need a nap afterwards.

ACCURATEin

oh it will allow for it. You just have to prioritize it. I went to college too and made it a point to never miss nopi nationals regardless of classes and their demands haha.

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

D3200, unless you want to be able to record in 4k.


I cant wait for IA. I havent figured out if Ill be there all weekend though.

DLntheCL

What did you go with?

t0psec12etpanda

jason, i heard the go pro black 3 doesn't really have a long battery charge, if you do plan go that route ur gonna need extra batterys to keep video taping. friends been using it on top of there drift cars. and they been saying it lastly like an hour to two hour at most.

i have the d3200 and i learning something new everytime i pick it up to take a picture/video. but i feel that my sony point and shoot camera, can shoot just as good of quailty in video.
