I will have a look at the camera, I can certainly get an in car video at some point. In terms of sound, it is a Sebring combined with a K+N. Just driving around town you won't notice the car. There is a little, and I do mean little burble at idle. However, start driving the car hard, and things change, the K+N starts to come alive, oddly enough, stitting at 70-80mph you don't really notice it either.

When I next get a mate around, I will get a vid, of various driving situations so you can hear how loud/quite it is.

Wierd i can never persuade any of my mates to hold the camera maybe its something to do with my driving style

Nice pics, i also have one of the smallest tailpipes available for my system, although i do like it quite loud, so mines a bit fruity but its a good tone aswell as loud, and this nice burbles and slight pops on the over run are nice IMO. I really wanna get sum vids of my car up, i only have ones taken from my phone, so tiny, and poor quality. But where can you host small vids?

EDIT: ive just looked and they are 94 k each and 9 second clips in real player (it downloads a codec or sumthing to play em) i remember hearing of a place that hosts files below 1 meg for free??

[gis]

that would be awesome jon.whats the fastest u had out of her?

i can imagine its a nice sound when u open up the throttle,a friend of mine has a punto with a K&N and ashley sport exhaust and straight pipe,thats loud when u open it up,lol.i got a pipercross filter fitted on friday and that is pretty dam loud.lol.i got a vid of that i made on friday night

I take it your hoping for free- if so up to 20mb on tripod, totally free and fairly quick good enough for a short vid certainly

[jon_s]

Fastest ever was 120mph on the clock, so more like 110-115mph. Hardly going to break any records, but it will do me for a while!

[coombsie66]

Uh, ok, registered to tripod, and uploaded my files but they r HTML's how do i get them to come up as video files?

what format are the vids? I simply used the site builder, then you click on add web gem and add a file download
BTW i feel a thread hijack starting ops: PM instead so we don't clog up jons thread!!

wow thats pretty good for a 1.2 jon,i had 115 out of mine still had a bit to go.but im impressed by yours a lot.

[coombsie66]

Ok, attmepted to wack sum vids on a shockingly poor 1st attempt at a web page!

http://coombsie66.tripod.com/

If u try to play them wiv real player it will D/L the nessecary software.

Ok, actually that aint gunna work, as it doest recognise the files as vids as they are 3GP.
Bugger, right back to revision, sorry for trashing the thread jon ops:
Oh yeah, jon or al, if u want vids hit me on MSN they D/L through there ok.

[jon_s]

No problems with the hijack, I have just gaffer taped the camera to my dash and have been out for a spin lol. You can sort of hear it, and also, why does everything look so bloody slow. As I have a 1.25 I can claim something as both runs were up hills lol, but I hit 100mph, and I look like I am going backwards lol. Anyway, give me a while to sort this out, the vid is 17mins long, and I don't usually do any editing, a mates does it for me, so bare with me.

Remember gis, I have done a little bit to the engine, but at the end of the day it is a 1.25 and is never going to be quick

Going back to my dad's replacement, what are your ideas, 30k, give or take 5k. We don't mind second hand, as long as it is only a couple of years old. New would be nice, but the amount of money one loses driving out of the garage is scary! It pretty much has to be a performance estate......

[coombsie66]

Video sounds interesting!! My mates got a 1.25 fessie, and it'll hold its own till about the end of 2nd gear, then it kinda goes backwards quite rapidly
Everything certainly looks and sounds slower on camera, especially gearchanges i find.
If you wernt gunna go for an estate, wat about a high ish milage M5??

Oh yeah, that gaffatape sounds like a good idea, i tried jugling my phone, whilst changing gear and steering, didnt end up in to good an camera angle!! ops:

[jon_s]

Yeah, mine is the same, good 1st and 2nd, I have a little more kick than stardard in 3rd but to be fair, not a lot. I need a faster car lol

[gis]

vid sounds good jon.hope to see it soon.your fiesta will be nippy as hell through 1st and 2nd for sure,especially fun in the country roads were yours,coombsie's,AL123 and myselfs cars are fun to drive.

got 118 today wOOt,on the way back from the beach racing an older escort xr3i.pretty cool.

for 30k,hmmm i was thikin liek an M5 or sumthin,can u get one for that price?

i've been avoiding posting my top speed but hey to go along with the crowd its 90mph (what the speedo goes upto) and a bit more so i can boast "i've had it off the clock". But seriously it is so fun to drive even in derby where i am at the moment there is great fun to be had on roundabouts! but back home in dorset is much more fun especially since i put the bucket seats in as the passengers don't whine about being chucked about as much anymore! There are so many roads back in dorset to have fun on, my particular favourites are on the way to my local mini supplier- lots of nice sweeping fast corners and twisty bits that i hardly slow down for as there is rarely much traffic!!
