haha, that's a good point. How do you mount it there in the mouth? I think I want to start running it this way at the track. All I need is to score one of those remote starts for the go-pro.

is your radiator ducted?

I see people mounting it there, they just get out in pits on the 5 minute mark and turn it on then start the video lol.

I always forget to turn mine off. I wish I could tie it into the ignition

Flier129 Mar 20, 2012 12:14 PM

No it's not ducted. I put one of the mounts that came with the GoPro. It's got some 3M adhesive that doesn't let go.

Just taped it to the bumper? I gotta try this today.

Flier129 Mar 20, 2012 02:34 PM

Not really taped, just stuck one of those sticky 3M GoPro mounts. It's on the bottom part of the mouth, I'll have to take a pic of it this afternoon, along with some other goodies :D

flying_solo Mar 20, 2012 03:02 PM

Please do. I have to go dig up the Go Pro kit I got and see what other goodies had come with it that I never used. I have only mounted it to the harness bar.

Here's the mount:

Damn rusty bolts and nuts!

Broke off 3 top-hat nuts in the rear, the 4th is rounded off and can't decide if I want to try to get a "gator" socket on it or try to cut it off with a dremel tool. Unless you guys have any better ideas.

Also my passenger side bolt at the bottom of the shock is stuck. I got the nut off, the bolt spins around, but I can't hammer it out. I ended up mushrooming the bolt, so I'll have to replace that which I need to do anyways, lol. I tried spinning it with the impact while hammering, hammering with a punch, and trying to back it out old fashion style with a ratchet. I also jacked it up at the LCA trying to relive any tension on the bolt, but still nothing. My next step is a GD-BFH! (god-damn-big-f!cking-hammer).

Spent a good 3 hours fighting with the rust, hopefully I'll have them out by tomorrow night so I can install them on Thursday. I've also got to replace the alignment bolts, that'll be fun too, lol.

Any advice on how to deal with the rusty bolts/nuts is greatly appreciated!

What is that glorious road from the video?

And I know where I am going to mount my GoPro for Sebring at least part of the time. I really enjoyed that video. Thank you for posting it.
