sunday drive in the old s12

Nothing too exciting, just playing around with my new HD cam, mounted on the new suction cup mount I got.    This mount is pretty sweet.  It has 3 swivel points so you can rotate/ articulate it to get it exactly where you want the camera to point at, and the suction cup stays put too!  We tested it last week on the track, mounted on the side of my Bimmer.   We took several 15-20 minute vids with speeds over 100mph and it stayed put all day long. 

Here it is mounted on the left side down low behind the back wheel, just in front of the red side marker.



Here is the first vid; 1080P.....like I said, pretty boring stuff.  I did get it in to boost a little,  right about the 5 min mark.  Hit around 13-14 psi (90% throttle); 1st and 2nd gear pulls.

Here is the second vid; 1080P.....the camera is mounted in the same spot, I just spun the camera around so it faces towards the rear.  A little higher boost this time.  Around the 1.20 minute mark.  18-19 psi (full throttle); 1st and 2nd gear pulls, wheel spin in both gears once boost builds. devilsidesmile

I'm still playing with it to get the best angle.  I need to make a windscreen for it or something to help reduce the wind noise.  I'll mount it on the inside of the windshield and get some vids, maybe tomorrow and post up.

Wow looks like you're gonna have a lotta fun with that thing as you come up with ideas

Yeah,....should be cool.  It'll mount anywhere that is smooth and the suction cup fits on

you gonna hit the track with the bmw and the new mount? Cheesy

Gah your car is sick... I love it when the turbo spools sounds intense!

Thanks man.  I just noticed you can hear the turbo through the exhaust in the second vid........sweet yes

some people have bin asking for new videos of the s12. so I strapped in the camera and went for a ride. first video is on waste gate at about 350 at the wheels. second vid is full boost about 24psi which dynoed 400hp at the wheels.

Goddamn that thing is a SCREAMER! Sick videos.

PS: Your spectacles are stylish.

Nice! Sounds real good. Looks like you got a few fun roads around where you live.

sounds like maxpow has a man crush.

Those new wheels fill out the fenders so much better than the old ones! And it sounds sick too!

what rear end are you running

welded r180

<3

Run it on 74, on my side of ickyburg, thats fun as shit.

I have once or twice. my mom used to live over their.

You need some stickier tires, that power isn't doing you any favors. :lol:

I am down with the sickness :p

Looking at an old vid, the one with the tire shredding burnout, is that a speed trap hose thing right in front of the cameraman? lolz

thanks I was wanting to know because I'm thinking of doing a v8 swap and making 450ish hp to the wheels and I dont want to have to make a ford 8 bolt rear end under it. I love your car man.

I would do the r200 swap if I was to do it over again. r200 is stronger and their are lsd options. but I have a custom aluminum drive shaft that wasn't cheep so I won't be swapping to r200. so far I have had no failures in the rear but I am sure the axels will fail at some point.

I have a r200 in it already I just thought the stock rear ends would break with that much power and I'm going to have to get a custom on for it I have a auto car right now I'm going to manual with a 5.0 swap but I'm still thinking on if I want to go injection or carb

God i love your notch. saw it on youtube when i first got my s12...

New burn out video is a must!!!!!

may be when the tires are almost gone. they are pretty much brand new.

damn thats sweet!

Where did you get the gauge pod for the vent? looks sick

made them out of fiberglass. boost on the left side and wide band on the right. far right is the plx m500.

what kind of camera and mount set up do you have going?
My cousin has a go pro and that things pretty good for how small and cheap it is

If you put it on your roof and did a track sesh that would be pretty cool too. How much are these mounts and do you know how the cam mounts? Is it the typical threaded setup that goes into the camera or something special? I want.

It's a standard size camera mount thread like for tripods.

The mount itself is called the Fat Gecko made by Delkin

I picked it up new on Amazon for like 30 bucks

Oh sweet. Thanks man. Yeah I have a tripod, but for this garbage camera I have its pointless. I just want to mount it on my car now and forget about it.

Badass!!

I couldn't find this on the site but doubt its new. Damn nice car though.

I noticed you also have an SR S13. How does the S12 chassis compare to an S13 or S14, rigidity wise?

seams about the same but mine is braced up in the rear.

Just curious. What spring rates are you running?

they are megan coilovers for a s13 . so what ever those rates are.

I wish my Sunday drives were that fun.
