This is an easy way to get some cool vids while driving. I just taped it to my front bumper and ran the cables through the engine bay to my passenger window. The video quality aint bad. I sent MattR a vid, maybe he can post it up here. Oh yeah, I plugged it into my lap top and just recorded it using the software that came with the camera.
I can't wait to autocross and shoot some video! Here are some pics: (IMG:http://www.wrxfanatics.com/uploads/post-44-1121108053.jpg) (IMG:http://www.wrxfanatics.com/uploads/post-44-1121108071.jpg) It is a Creative camera, it cost me $49 from Fry's I believe. Here is a link to a description of the camera. http://www.creative.com/products/product.a...253&product=629 |

No need for a Type 4, it is already a flat 4. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Yeah , but its a water pumper. Think how cool a Raby 3.0 would be in that car, less weight over those front wheels too. Good low end torque, etc And best of all the car would have a soul! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

Just trying to get some modern technology to all you "classic car" people!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
I use tie downs and fasten them around the seat. It sits nice and snug. |

The info I was given from nippon-motors (seller of JDM engines) showed it to be 40# lighter than a 2.0 typeIV. That included turbo but did not include intercooler and radiator, which only weigh a few pounds. Two gal. of water is 12 pounds, so I'm thinking the total package is still slightly lighter. -Ben M. |

Water is actually 8.34 lbs per gallon. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) I'm curious what does nippon list as the 2.0 turbo engine weight? |

interesting idea to get some video of your runs...
i'm not sure my car would pass tech with a laptop strapped down to the seat, but it'd be a nice way to study the course between runs at the AX! n |

Yes, the EJ20T is a tad lighter than a type four I believe, or at least very close in weight.
About passing tech, I have seen batteries tied down worse than this laptop is. It is totally secure, if they don't pass you it would be ridiculous. |

You're right. I'm used to doing fuel weights, but water is heavier than gasoline. I don't remember the engine weights. It was two years ago when I called them. -Ben M. |
