Totally, would love to see the video. I was thinking of trying these setups-

roof in the middle, with it pitched down a bit so you can see the hood of the car a bit

side where you see it on the pictures there, slanted downward so it's very similar to the front of the car

fitting it into the grill like the elise has on the picture on the box (if we can? Didn't look at this fully yet)

Something looking at at the front wheels, just for fun, to see them spin and all that

Thats all I can think of, but I think those would be cool to see.

 

I've used this angle a few times with my camera, and I've found it to be the most useful out of any others that I've used. Except that it gives me a ton of wind noise, I think this angle is perfect for seeing how I ran. It really allows me to see the course well, in addition to giving a sense of where the car is relative to the cones.

You can see the camera pretty well in this shot:



Here's a video shot from the roof

As a comparison, here's one shot from in-car

As a warning, I did manage to drop my camera off of my roof once, though it was a wet and snowy day. It fell right on the decklid at the very end of a run so it wasn't really a problem.

 

all this time on rx8club.com and didn't know there was such a thread...
here's my contribution

pictures aren't too great...

 

Nice pics trust, Stance coilovers feel good for you on the track there? I know it was a huge difference on Autocross this year. Every instructor said they loved throwing my car around. I'm running 8 clicks all around and feels actually really nice.

Kenneth, that angle does look great actually, looking at the video. I'll have to give that a shot with a different angle next time and I'll post vids. Thanks for the tip!

 

^The roof angle does show the course very nicely, but it makes the car look a little funny because of the wide 170 degree lense. Here's the last video I took with it.

Looks like you had a couple nice saves in there,,,,

 

^Oh yeah, pavemenet was very wet, and my Azenis love to slide when theres water on the course

 

Here's one from the 3/11 NASA HPDE event at Firebird International Raceway in Phoenix.

 

Nice pic Easy! :D I bet you had some fun, eh?

 

shaved 2 seconds off my best time from same track with same tires.
nice to see you putting your stance coilovers to good use!

 

Took these pics at Willow Spring ( Street of Willow )












.

 

Thats great to hear! And thanks man! Didn't spend that money just for looks. :D Reason I bought this car was to race it, and thats what I'm doing :D

 

New pictures from last weekend at Roebling Road.

 

Love the gold 17x9" RPF1's!!! Car looks very stable and composed on course.

 

^Very true, But i'm not sure how hard he was pushing it around the corner behind those Porsche's, they were slowing him down!!

 

Passing an M5.

 

very nice... more pics!

 

great pics!

 

Here's a pretty cool pic from today under heavy braking...

 

soo sexy man; the MS wing is screamin for you

 

Awesome pics, but honestly, the more I see the MS kit, the more I dislike it. To me, it takes away from our sleek look and makes the car more bulky. At least, thats my take on it.

 

^Well as long as you don't think Veilside looks good, then I respect your opinion.

 

ahhahahahahahaha!
my new sig!

 

Just for fun...

 

LOL Have you seen my car? I'm a old school plain jane kind of guy. Failside is no thanks. The only kit I really like...REALLY like.. (as in plan to get at some point)..Is the Knight Sports Ver 2. But that's when I have a daily driver and this car is pretty much just a track car. :D
