Oh come on...you just gotta rotate it correctly and use the mount that turns the cam 90 degrees...then that wide angle lens will pick up a LOT more than you think...just aim it at the center of the dash and pick up the driver, view ahead, and out the passenger window:
If you use as many of the small extensions as you have, you can hang the camera further away from the passenger window, increasing forward visibility while still showing the driver. This will also allow you to turn the camera so it's flat, not tilted (it was hitting the mount because I only used one extension so I couldn't rotate it any further).
The piece that comes with the suction cup, shown sitting beside the cup here:

lol I literally took a vacation. I had to vacation in the winter time now that I plan to run a full manual trans points series. Gotta keep the priorities straight. Hopefully in another few weeks I can post a new vid

Ha Thanks. Believe it or not the front suspension was actually terribly mismatched. It had a 105lb 14" coil-overs, Koni-red struts and tube K-member and control arms. Rear suspension was just boxed style control arms, air bags in stock springs, TC sway bar.
Current setup is 90/10 struts, springs to be determined, same kmember and control arms. Rear is solid bushing adjustable upper and lower control arms, stock springs and air bags, the best part is the anti-roll bar that makes it cake to go straight.

wow dude its all done up! i was thinking about using those drag bag things and 90/10's too or the strange 10 ways. right now my cars got stock 4cyl springs and blown shocks and struts and you can bounce the back of the car off the ground a few inches.. i'll probably keep the springs tho cuz my brothers got an 87 lx so everything hes done to it we're going to do to mine as far as chasis work and the back drag springs he had werent good for his car a the line so we put stockers back in the butt of it. i have to get floor pans too cuz the driver side floor is actually ripped in an "L" around the mounting studd for the seat. some big girl owned it b4 me... the odomerter reads 62,xxx but its the rollover type so its more like 162,xxx maybe even 262,xxx! and thank you for responding i'll have to reconsidder some things

I rolled out on the dyno yesterday for the time ever with the black car. It was a day full of ups and downs and problems. In the previous week prior I had a scare with the head gasket and fuel pump. It continued about the same while Wes was getting a base tuned figured out. I dont put a whole of faith in the hp numbers yet. It could be higher could be lower. It made 350whp, boost was 17-18ish, fell off before 6k, way too much fuel and fighting with it the entire time. I'll post numbers as soon as it pulls clean.
Another nice thing about Sigma Six Dyno in Concord, NC is that I scaled the car. This was the first time it was officially weighed on a trustworthy scale system. Now I can pick some more appropriate front springs.

Weight without me, but with full interior including stock pass seat

WE have run koni red single adjustable front struts on our outlaw car, and have had great success and great tune ability with them. They get very sensitive the last 3/4 turn of adjustment...
We've been 1.19 sixty foot on 26x8.5's @3165lbs....
I think the koni are the best bang for the buck with out buying some santhuffs
Just my .02

140Lbs Matt u need to eat some more sammiches! What was the poping from the front of the car? And man that thing is sounding sweet. When u get a full pull u should make some mad power. What knid of scare did u have with the gasket, also what is wrong with the fuel just the tune is out or a mech prob?
