I love your trunk badge filip. How many people understand it?

three out of a hundred, i'm so sick of explaining, that when people ask me - "hey, is that a 3.4l engine??" i say - yes, whatever. :D

[infurno]

lol that badge is pretty cool. I dont have a badge at all right now... If you don't mind I may copy it

Did I see an LPG switch?

[Sam-Son]

cant wait for some drift vids. What kind of camera mount are you using?

[filip00]

2 morgenster - yes LPG switch is there. gas is extremely expensive here in croatia, about $7 for gallon, so everybody who had an engine over 1.8, 2.0 liter, must switch in order to avoid bankrupcy :D

2 sam-son - i use a classic tripod, but the way i mount it is important. i extend only two legs, and let them sit on the rear passenger foot space, leaning on the front seats' back. and the third leg sits on the rear seat, next to the armrest. i just duct tape the legs to the back of front seats / rear seat armrest, for extra support, and then adjust height of the camera and the angle.
i will take photos how it's done, because a lot of people don't mount it that way, and they don't know what kind of great shots they're missing.

I recently fabbed up a headrest mount for my camcorder. Cost about 4 bucks. I may take your idea up for the second camera.

[Sam-Son]

I also do abit of winter sidewaysness:p and have always wanted to film it but holong a camera is out of the question because thats just plain dangerous and irresponsible

[filip00]

this is sketch i did for the other forum, just to give you the idea

[Sam-Son]

Mac what did you fab up?

Wow, that's pretty close to what we pay over here (7.5$/gallon) and I'm supposing in your country mean income is lower than in Belgium.
Did you notice a steady increase in LPG prices lately? We've gone from 0.44 euro/liter to 0.55 in three months.

[filip00]

yes, our standard is a lot smaller than yours.


and i see you understand liter system, so it's much easier. gas is about a 1.20 euro per liter, and LPG was 0.48 euro/ liter until a few months ago, when it increased to 0.60 euro / liter

[filip00]

this how it looks mounted. i just realized i forgot to take a screenshot off a camera to see the angle which is gonna be filmed....

Here in England we're paying £4.45 per gallon, more in the south.
