    Because of COVID-19; I will be getting a GoPro6 or something like that to record the 1st start and anything else after break-in. This is at the request of my friends.

      Yes. Agreed. Ive not encountered the same problem with gopro footage or my dash cam. Seems to be only linked to iphone video. Is what it is.

      It is amazing how many newer models there are after the 6 already. I have a hero 3. lol I believe they are up to 10.

        That's funny, as I was looking into a Hero3 a couple years ago and passed it up for reason(s) I can't remember. Crazy how many models are out now. I just need one with decent video and good audio capabilities.

          The upped tire pressure seems to be doing the trick. I can roll out in first and just get wheel spin with no bounce. Still under review and further testing but seems to have helped.

          Some pics after I had her out in the morning:









          On my last drive I had encountered a bit of rain. Resisted the wipers as long as I could just because I am weird like that but then had to go for them and I got nothing. Turned out the connector just wiggle loose off the wiper motor...I have the one plug design motor on there and the plug does not secure so good. Happy it was nothing inside the steering column or under the dash. I never tested things after the 5speed swap last year so it could have been any number of things because I had it all disconnected for removing the steering column and installing the pedal assembly.

                      Thanks Ben. It is a Trick Flow Stage 1 Camshaft (TFS-51403001). Now part of the track max line of cams offered by trickflow. Same part number exists still.

                          Not to mention at stop lights and signs too. It puts a smile on my face. So happy with everything.

                                I was so damn happy with it. I was around 20 at the time. I seen others put it lower on the fender but I was not fond of that placement. I am happy with none nowadays.

                                Some from this morning.
