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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
