I learned how to use Windows Movie Maker the other day, so last night after we left the track, a friend and I decided to take a shot at making a "youtube video" of my Tbird. It's still definitely a WIP because we were mainly experimenting with different shots, angles, and whatnot...and I still need to learn how to revv :hick: . However, I was never aware that my Tbird sounded so mean from the outside. I smile every time I hear it in the vids. For having 4 cats and $15 lers, it sounds REALLY good imo (especially @ 1:24 in the vid, with 44sec left in the video). I hope you guys enjoy, and I'll be updating the video with new/better footage as my friend and I get more. Without further ado...

nicely done.
yeah lookin good!
only suggestion on the obligatory "rev shot" just lower the music volume for that amount of time (if that can be done) so the car can be heard better, or just let the tach turn farther :hick:
sounds good though, and you put the vid together well!
I *think* I can only adjust the music/video volume for the whole video, but I'll have to look around some. I probably just need to revv better (i took her up to 4000-4500). Thanks for the compliments :) .
oh well then the car aint gonna get any louder. stay where you are lol
must be the s are just too quiet. prolly just gotta find the right balance between the car and the music, if it can only be adjusted for the duration. really depends on what you want people to see/hear. i guess a real MTV music video wouldnt have any sound of whats going on, and the sound is only the song. if thats what you want have the music loud, but if you want us to hear the ride too it could probably ocme down a little
Yeah it's weird how the car sounds great when driving, but not as great when revving. Oh well.
We want a burnout next time!
Cool video.
Nicely done guys.
Makes me really miss my bird now..... :(
Needs a burnout in the video, and ditch the clutch fan for an electric one. Sound way better.
Yeah, an electric fan is definitely in the near future. As for the burnout, if anyone wants to donate tires, I'll be glad to do a burnout for yas :D .
Sweet!
go to junkyard, get some donut spares and ROAST UM UP!! easier to spin that way too!
Cool vid
Awesome video man the bird is lookin great
Nice.......but, uh, you need turn signal sequencers;)
Where was the burnout?
cool vid, but what up with shifting at 5000 hold out
Actually, I never shifted it during filming, so it was just shifting at 4500 hahaha. Dont worry, I still have more footage planned. It's still a WIP. My friend and I just wanted an idea of what we were getting ourselves into haha.
My AOD upshifts at 5,000 rpm with no shift kit:hick: . You need to adjust your TV cable.
Hey do you guys ever shift to second then back to first to make it shift harder.
I can be done but I'm afraid to do it as I have a column shifter and I can easily miss a gear:hick:
im actually not in the habbit of doing a lot of these runs, or at least any WOT shifts. it seems to take quite a long time. normal street driving the 1-2 shift it VERY quick, you almost dont feel it sometimes, but WOT it probably takes a full half of a second or maybe more for the RPMs to come down, signaling its now in 2nd. if i accelerate hard up to like 30 40 mph i hold it in 1st, then drop it in D while letting off the gas then cruise :hick: dont wanna hurt it tho!!! i gotta get a shift kit so i can stop worrying about the tranny wearing out
It doesn't make it shift harder, it will just hold it in second, and DONT do it, it will kill the tranny. TRUST ME.
If you get a shift kit...is that how you hold it in second? somewhere I read that shift kits allow you to do that without blowing it up.
If not how, just out of curiosty. Trans go says u can hold any gear to any rpm. So you can hold 1 obviously but without a 2 position you cant hold 2nd with the lever....
To hold first and second, I have it in first, get on the gas, shift into D when it's time to go into 2nd, then when it shifts to 2nd, go back to the 1 position and then you can hold it in second. I do this rarely (maybe 2-3 times tops since I've had the car). I do hold first on occasion (at the track mainly), since the HO definitely has more in it past 4500rpm.
