thanks for all my leet forum skills i fail at embedding utube vids..

as for why so many people are there, road is called the snake and that is an infamous off camber corner where lots of powersliding/accidents occur hence the audience. Going to include it on my list of must see's/drives when i finally hit the states. Apparently Jay Leno's drive way is just off the PCH and he is up and down it daily in one of his many Bugatti's etc

this thread has too much potential to die. We still need a mod to rename it to "the official automotive video thread" or something along those lines. Anywho, back to the videos

I usually don't wander in here but this thread is pretty relevant to my interests.

Pat, you asked what gear and rigs are needed. First is a decent DSLR for shooting the video with decent lens. Most of that could have been done with a kit lens but shallow depth of field requires a lens that can really open up. A cheap 50mm "pancake" will work fine there.

I saw a bit of dolly & boom work done in that first video. These can be quite expensive but I'm working on some DIY versions.

Another effect is using a slider. I did a little DIY version in this video but I'm refining it to make it smoother as the jerkyness is too visible.

The rest is up to your creativity and lots, and I mean LOTS of editing room time. There are a lot of subtle things that you do in post production to really bring up the viewing pleasure on a video.

This was just a proof of concept video I put together to test several different effects including time lapse, on car rig, slider, shallow depth of field and generally managing the settings on my panasonic GH2.

I'm glad to see that people are really interested in video beyond just the action shots. I'm always trying to figure out how to capture not only the action, but the love we have for our cars and what we do with them. Capturing the passion and deep connection we have with our cars is actually really hard. The general public wouldn't understand our obsession.

      Rb26 expected power

      By Butters · Posted

      Seems bang on to me , g30-900 will make 900 crank on e85(on paper). Deduct ~25% for 98 and you are at 675 crank. Run that to the wheels and fact you are only running 26psi you end up about your number.  People forget how magic E85 is now that just about everyone is running it.   "Back in the day" you had to be north of 30psi on a 850+hp turbo to get 600 at the wheels on 98.

      I can believe it if you're getting air into the pickup. Cavitation is tremendously destructive for pumps.

      I think the pic in the first post is another car, and post 7 is OP's car with standard arms and swaybar swaybar swaybar. I can't tell what brand the silver coilovers are, and even if I could I don't know whether the spring rate is OK, if you can find a brand on the shocks and numbers on the springs that might help. Also, if you can measure the ride height from centre of your wheel to the guard that will help with advice too as handling suffers if ride height is too low

      In the first photo you posted, the colour of the control arms are the signature colour for Ikeya. Same for the swaybar, signature colour for Whiteline.  I like Hardrace, they also do hardened rubber bushes if your car is mainly a street car.  I like GKTech as well, but they use a lot of rose joints in their stuff so might not be the best choice for everyone.  The system might have been good back in its day, but it's a prehistoric system now. I suspect that most people have removed the HICAS as they want the car to do what they want to do, not what the car wants to do. From what I also understand, it isn't consistent in it's behaviour on track so it's hard to trust the car/know where its absolute limits are for track use.  Having said that, I think the HICAS eliminator kit was the first thing I installed when I bought my car. I don't personally have any experience with the HICAS system on a race track.
