Ben and Tim ran a go pro on the outside of the R34 in Targa, pretty sure no-one looked twice at it.

Go Pros are way overpriced now I reckon but their mounting accessories etc are great so it seems to make sense to me to get a good knock off to take advantage of that. Go Pro have the name and are cas

I really think it's awesome. As I said the only real bad side is that Facebook seems to be the main public place to show the quality. I uploaded one to Youtube but probably won't do it again. I tried

Its cause the Bluetooth in the Iphone is a HACK version. There is a lot it cant do. Data interchange via Bluetooth on the Iphone isnt enabled either.

The only Bluetooth on Iphone is hands free. Jacks me off as well seeing I have to connect via cable to transfer all my pictures to my PC. Still Android as an operating system is pretty crappy as well.

EDIT:

I just ordered a Mini USB to USB cable so I can see if I can connect to the Camera via cable to the Iphone to see where its aimed ETC.

Will let you know how it goes

New GOpro is out!

Am going to get one of these now, glad I waited..

Doesn't seem much point in ordering from US GoPro site - $85 bucks shipping..unless you get a few.. $399 local vs $370 from us

1080p 16:9 footage: narrow (90-degree), wide (170-degree) and medium (127-degree) angles

Snap up to ten 11 megapixel photos per second.

Timelapse @ 0.5 sec intervals

Mini-HDMI port, composite out, USB, SD card and HERO ports

Coming Summer: GoPro's WiFi BacPac promises to enable live broadcasting and camera control over WiFi.

The Hero2 kills the original HD Hero's confusing 3-digit code interface in favor of a simple language-based menu.

I have shithouse timing as always. Grabbed a HD Hero about 6 weeks ago because I was in a pinch, works ok but desperately needs an external mic to counter the wind noise....and low and behold here it is :( FARK! Oh well. It will probably catch fire with the rest of my car this weekend anyway :)

I am not convinced. I used the waterproof housing and there was still loads of wind noise. I ended up caking the iside of the housing with headphone foam and only then did you get a reasonable (not good but bearable) result.

These look at lot better with external mic and all. Do they sync via bluetooth so you can see the view of the camera without ripping out SD Cards?

The bluetooth thing is something they are working on, but we won't see anything for a while.

There's also a new kid on the block. Check out the Replay XD1080. Best video quality I've seen. 3 inches by 1 inch.

They have a range of billet aluminium mounts too.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
