Wow, Clive you really should have bought a trailer a LOOOOONG time ago. Why is it that either the car is good or the bumper is good but never both?

Never, EVER, admit you know how fast you were going! Just say. "I don't know." Any admission CAN and WILL be held against you. If he was not using radar, he will use YOUR admission in court as proof.

"Nucular!"

Can we get him on TV? http://www.cesarmillaninc.com/dogwhisperer/submissions.php I have actually seen a few Z's on his show in the backround.

I need to spend some time with the MLV manual! Lots of tidbits I learn everytime Matt comes around!

You can just use a stopwatch and a datalog from MS. Start the car and the stopwatch together. Datalog your drive. When you feel a problem, stop the timer. Go back through the datalog with MegaLogViewer and scroll to the time on the stop watch to see when and what happened.

Nice video! You need to fix your http link and remove one of the "http's". How did you mount the external camera?

http://www.onlineconversion.com/pressure.htm Convert idle vacuum to kpa, and maximum boost to kpa and then divide it evenly across the chart. 100kpa is atmoshpere, or WOT with no boost. Idle is usually between 30-40 kpa.

If you drive straight 100% of the time on flat roads, zero camber is perfect. The more you turn, the harder you turn, or the more lean the car has, the more negative camber you want in a Z. I am running -1.3 up front. I get it by lowering the car 1" from stock with tokico springs, illuminas, bump-steer spacers, and by using the eccentric bushings from MSA fully extended. After a moderatley fast drive on twisty country roads, the tires are eveny heated across the thread. That means they are probably wearing evenly. Before I added the front negative camber, with stock alignment, I used to wear out the outside front edges all the time. In the rear I now run stock alignment resulting from a 1" drop, but plan to add -0.5 to -1 degree and maybe some very minor toe in if possible, for braking stability. I run relatively massive sway bars... 1-1/8" and 7/8". I had to loosen the front endlinks to get the front to bite better on corner entry and mid corner. Also, use rubber T/C rod bushings on the backside of the T/C bracket and Poly on the front side.

I flew it today for the third time, first time with the camera. Awesome stuff. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=753004#post8306595

I was there through you guys this year. I spoke with Clive a few times during the week and drooled over all the photos. Those Cobra'z are beautiful. I hope to see them in person next year in Ohio. Phil, are you making plans to attend the Ohio NZCC in 2008? I know I am.

I went through this about a year ago. My goals were to have a small camcorder to tape vacations and our son in as close to HD as we could afford. I went with a Panasonic 3-ccd sensor camcorder with mini-dvd format. In widescreen, it looks real close to HD, but the capacity of each disk is only 19minutes. That's OK for my purpose and I am very happy with the picture quality. However for automotive use... This is what we got but NOT great for automotive use: http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/Panasonic-VDR-D300-Camcorder-Review.htm What I would suggest is to get a small, high-end, digital still camera that has the video capability with widescreen. Then load the camera up with as large a memory card as you can fit. They are ultra reliable, they handle heat and vibration well and usually about the size of a pack of cigg's. Another benefit of the photo cam vs the camcorder is that they are more abundant, and reviews for them are all over the internet. Camcorders are much more difficult to pinpoint. CHECK THIS OUT! 80 minutes on 2gigs at HD Video (720P) at 30fps Widescreen for $200. It's even a Z model camera! http://www.digitalcamera-hq.com/digital-cameras/kodak-gets-into-hd-video-with-the-z1275_news.html Sample Video: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SBBCSJQE I just bought a camera for my RC plane that does decent video and snapshots, no sound, for $20. I can take about 1.5 hours of video in OK quality onto a 1G memory card. It's really crappy build but works very well for $20. It's only 2oz. so you can velcro it anywhere...at that price you can get a couple of them. The quality is about 50% better than a youtube video. You can find it cheaper. Make sure it's an SD version that takes the SD memory cards. http://www.aiptek.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=R-PCSD13&Store_Code=AS

I would contact Fidanza. THey know their stuff and will sell you a replacement wear disc, and I am sure they will provide instructions. Please post the info when they get back to you. spoon feeding---> http://www.fidanza.com/Contact.aspx Thanks.

I cant find a good picture of myself, besides, I am always the one taking pictures...I will find a mirror. This is my best part. OK Here I is:

I would think that for 45k the front spoiler would align to the fender. No?

I really wish I could have made it this year... I am looking forward to Ohio next year though. Thanks for the quick photo update...keep 'em coming!

Quoted from their site: _____________________________________ "Review "Highly Recommended.” "In extended listening sessions, I found the cables' greatest strength to be its PRAT. Simply put these are very danceable cables. Music playing through them results in the proverbial foot-tapping scene with the need or desire to get up and move. Great swing and pace—these cables smack that right on the nose big time." - Dave Clark, Editor Positive Feedback Online" ______________________________________ I agree with a trained ear and good equipment, cable can make a difference. Not that much difference though. Here is one audio effect they fail to factor. If you do buy their cable, your seating position will be noticably lower in the listening room, as the wallet you are sitting on will be quite a bit thinner.

Maybe I havent seen an issue with this because my WBO2 is about 3 inches after the turbine exit.

My current msq file is here: http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=126101 TUNING TIP OF THE DAY: Whenever you use any auto tune or VE analyzer, go back to the tuning map and review it for big bumps and valleys before you drive on it. Sometimes the computer will go waaay low or high with a few datapoints. Just level them out manually in the 3D tuning grid before you drive it. My motor just about falls flat on anything leaner than 14.5:1
