hey guys,

for a while now, a couple of us have been tinkering with the thought of making a DVD for ourselves. not for sale, just for our own private use.

any ideas and suggestions would be good. not looking to do anything stupid, but maybe events or cruises, friday nights or working on our cars.

we got all the equipment and editing gear. so feel free to give us any ideas and we'll see what we can come up with. if you would like some cool footage of your car on a DVD, just put your hand up, and we'll organise something. cheers, luke.

nah c'mon lets do something stupid! *puts on battle gear and hides*

i'd love to have my car filmed doing a quick pass (flying past the camera) or just sitting there frying tyres, im just not sure if there is anywhere that is private property and safe that i can think of, unless someone does'nt care if i destroy their driveway? but im happy to abuse my car if it means others enjoyment (and lets be honest, mine to!) but it will have to be somewhere safe (read: away from people i could hurt) and not a public road.

boring as bat-sh*t sean, filming cars on a dyno. how bout we get you and i near each other ripping our tyres to shreds? now thats good fotage!!!

Seeing this on the dyno boring? No way! :talk2hand :) ...

to be honest, yeah! i had fun at the dyno day at the nats with Jayce but cars on dyno's dont do anything--------> rev rev rev noise noise noise, ooohhh power figure..... its kinda exciting seeing it in person, but on video its just dead boring!

it much rather see a car doing what its intended for...being driven! if its so hugely powerfull i'd rather see it on a track doing its thing. and i really dont care what car it is but if its dyno footage on video it'll bore me, but by all means prove me wrong and find a way to excite my with dyno footage, if i actually enjoy it, then you've proved your point.

I think i just creamed my pants. do you know when this beast is going on and is this that blue one that was out at the charity cruise ???

Seeing this on the dyno boring? No way!  :talk2hand  :)  ...

I've been toying with the idea of making a DVD for a few years now. I've been collecting footage from track days, auto salon, dyno comps, etc. I want to do some night time cruising and stuff but is so hard to shoot with mini dv in low light.

One day I'll finally sit down and edit all this footage and create something. Just been way too busy to really get down and do it. I think I'll start bringing the camera out again on Fridays if there are good turnouts consistently.

I think i just creamed my pants. do you know when this beast is going on and is this that blue one that was out at the charity cruise ???

Thats the one -- you can read about it at http://www.200sex.com.au

Theres going to be a couple of big hitter cars at the dyno day, should be good :aroused:

i wouldnt mind some when my car gets the fmic on  i know its nothing special but i love it
lol there not making a documentray on sea life leigh! lol :jk: :)

/me runs and hides from angry angry leigh

(read: away from people i could hurt)

thats not what you told me you said you wanted me to hold on to your wing and see how long it takes for me to fall off while going 170km/h whilst filming it, now that i think of it thats not fair!!!

even though my cars still in the shop (with the price tag still on it bahahaha!) i wouldnt mind grabbing a copy of this it sounds awesome!!!

great to see so much interest.

just trying to get ideas at this stage. once we have an idea of whats happening, i'll post up about it again.

shooting at night on mini DV can be problem, but not if you got the right camera, like me. i also have access to an incar camera mount, which isn't dodgy, which took a while to make, and also a jib arm, which can reach up to about 5-6m high. we got all the gear,, just need the ideas.

and yes, stupid stuff would be cool, but only if we can do it on a private road or property.

I'm interested depending on what you decide to do. Obviously not game to be caught doing something stupid on camera on public roads.

Would be nice to be on film on my own grounds. Scotts Big Boys Toys already using my car in a TV ad without my permission. :rofl:

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
