480p now although i'm assuming further youtube processing (just this seemed to take forever) will bring it up to 1080p...

Hot damn that looks fun. I'd be scared shitless doing 120+ in that thing.

sickmint79 · 02-28-2015, 05:22 PM

it and i would happily go faster, my real problem was the gopro on the top of my helmet having legit pushback from the air from 75 to 120. would not recommend. i'll try and find a much better way to mount it next time.

Good weekend for a car wash, almost actually felt like spring earlier

Not enough room in the alley yet! I thought about it... I think I'll be wanting a pressure washer and foam wand though... There are limits on how long I can block access before the grumpy neighbors come out. They evidently didn't like me gunning through crap (and by that, I mean not letting off immediately when the 8" tall ice speed bump caused traction loss...)

Whee?

I got a cheap electric pressure washer from harbor freight along with a chemical guys foam lance w/adapter... for the price it works great, enough pressure/volume to really get some decent foam, and cleans the worst baked on brake dust from wheels with the right cleaner (no scrubbing)

^ that's the way you do it.

DJCarbine · 03-08-2015, 02:15 PM

Damn, I need to get a dashcam. Unmarked cruiser just tokyo-drifted the intersection of ogden and mannheim. Full on ass-out countersteering

I'll use a pressure washer on the house as well (previous owners cleaned it up before we bought, but now have a deck + to care for I never had before...) but I'll still be going electric - just not quite as cheap (actually, looking at the well-rated [ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CPGMUXW"]Sun Joe SPX3000[/ame])

Garage is slowly warming up too - which means I can start installing parts! Today I was working on tearing out a ventless fireplace, preparing to turn it into the screen wall of a home theater install instead. I'll never use the ventless, they're horrible! Look nice sitting there, or if you don't breathe...

Just spent the morning detailing my inner wheel wells.

What am I doing with my life

I certainly hope it means you've been enjoying this lovely afternoon!

As spring is coming, I want to swap out my blizzaks for summer shoes. Does anyone have any 18" rims that they are selling? (Or have recommendations for good vendors in the area) I'd rather swap wheels each season than remount tires.
