Dear Internet,

I have for a long time been told that the car that I bought could be a fire breathing green dragon - tonight she showed me she is.

Love,
Mick

You need a new avatar!

[Jace]

Haha so violent.
You did well to film that!

[mikinoz]

Another find when rolling slowly through the footage....

[JP-009]

3 wheeling FTW !!!

Haha that's a cool pic man. What cam is it?

[Jarred]

that's epically cool!

I wrote on here but it was lost in the internet quagmire. This is so rad, and i think the post that had the comment about the "sex wee" is also lost, so i'll repeat it gladly. Sex wee came out for sure, for both photos and video. Just rad.

What camera is used to capture it? GoPro?
What software are you using to capture and create sneaky photos?

Thanks for the quick drive too, was an UNREAL sound and very carporn.

Edit -I think I know that road (maybe even that corner) - is it the road (maybe Hawkesbury road?) heading already past Winmalee and towards the paintball and the river?

[mikinoz]

Thanks for the support guys.

One of my favourite car films of all time is Rendevous, a clip shot in the 70's of a car racing through the streets of Paris at first light. I would like to replicate a similarly set film sometime, tonight was a bit of a test run to pull some bits together and a bit of after editing too.

its such a magic road feels like yesterday i used to drive it. memories

make the film man, even that little snippet gave me chub. it has elements of the Ari Vatanen film up Pike's Peak.

That may be nicer than mine, Mik! Very neat!

If you want to remove the anodising (for what ever reason), you can mix up some draino (caustic soda) and water in a glass or similar container. And put it on a heatproof surface.

Mix it up pretty strong. Get some wire, wrap the centre (only) up with it. Dip it in the solution for a few seconds. Remove it. The anodising should be stripped. Then just wash it off with water.

So upon closer inspection, this is an OEM pulley that has been ground and die tapped and then connected to the aftermarket adjusting plate.



Oh and as Aust Post are doing 2 deliveries in my neighborhood today, I got some hub centric rings for the BSS too! WIN!



I also got a fused relay to boost the crappy head light situation.

Wondering if anything else turns up before Christmas?

[alex g]

Same as the one I built up mik.
Looks good.

[Preen59]

Yeah I made an 8v one like that when I was an apprentice.

[mikinoz]

I did the relay mod for the headlights, just a single fused 30A between both of the low beams I considered to be adequate.

Heaps better light output, not like candles any more.
