So I got my new camera mount and seeing as it's wet out today I tested it in the car.

Testing new camera mount in the WRX, will also use this mount on Ninja 1000 - YouTube

So far I like it, I just need to get a new camera that doesn't have rolling shutter issues at speed.

I'm just using my Kodak playsport for right night seeing as It's all I have at the moment for this type of video.

Original video is 720p @ 60fps and even at that frame rate it still has rolling shutter issues.

Once I get new wheels on the car though it will work a lot better. I currently have one messed up wheel, hence why I haven't been driving that car in a while. So that will fix some of the vibration once I get the new wheels. Also going wider as well.

Regardless, once it dries up (tomorrow) I will be setting up the camera on the bike and using that and seeing how it all works out.

Also I need to get going on a new camera in the near future but we shall see what happens in regards to that.

I bought the car about a year and a half before deciding to go back to school full time. I honestly should have bought the VW I was considering at the time as I would really like ot have a more economical car right now, I was looking at a VW turbo diesel hatchback. At the time when I bought it everything was good to go and had no issues. I only have a couple more years and she's paid off and I have a good 4-5 more years of school. So no point in me trading it in for something else, at least not right now. I've actually considered downgrading a few times just to get gas mileage.

As for the bike, I got an awesome deal on it that was too good to pass up. I probably paid as much as many people would pay for a lightly used FZ6R.

With some things it's all in how you wait for the right moment to buy.

I'm considering using a college loan to pay off what's left on the car because then I will just have the college loans to worry about and nothing else (well, the bike but that's a really small amount) and can start paying on them right away. It's all a debate in my mind and I'm not sure where I'm going to go with them.

I kind of miss having a normal job and mediocre pay check right now but I know it will pay off in the end.

From experience, I say use the school stuff for school, don't redistribute those funds!

IDK man, I have to have a long discussion with a couple friends that are accountants. Try to get their opinions on the topic.

For me it would free up a lot of monthly funds so that I can more easily make it the next few years. I have to really sit down and weigh out the options.

A cap? :(



So now that the topic has been derailed a little bit. Car audio is my first love, I moderate two car audio forums and have been in it since I was 13. Have gone through 50 or so head units, 1000 or so subs, 200 amps, and the list keeps growing :)

Caps are not a good solution to anything, they put an additional load on the charging system. The best thing to do is have a second battery.

Remember a cap discharges in a split second, and then has to be recharged. If you have all your electrical updates done, you could potentially use small caps on the power wires to your headlights if they are still dimming.
