Title: I'm going to TRY.......
Post by: vinnietbird on January 29, 2012, 12:43:22 AM
I don't have a video camera, and my camera, although able to take video, can't do sound. My son has an Ipod Touch which can do both. I'm going to see if I can get him to do a small video of the Sport tomorrow. Stay tuned. Hopefully I'll be able to get a sound bite, and maybe a small video down on Main Street.

It's the thought that counts. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. What the hell. One optimistic view, the other just downright cynical. We all KNOW the sport is quite....sporting. And badass. We don't need no stinkin' videos. But we'd really appreciate it.

I need to test out the O2 sensors once I have them on today anyway. Just finished the harness last night.

Oh, the Sport isn't bada$$, she's just misunderstood.

Well she's a rebel and no one understands those that fight the establishment. At least not if they don't have a cause anyway...

Well Vin...release the video! lol

Trying again tomorrow. My son was at his friends all day. Say tuned. I'm trying. I asked him if he took videos before, he said he had, but never down loaded them. Hopefully he can. I sure can't.

I think Vinnie needs to upgrade to an I-phone.
Title: I'm going to TRY.......
Post by: vinnietbird on January 29, 2012, 11:50:11 PM
I wouldn't know how to use one. Too much thinking involved for me.LOL. Maybe later. For now, I'm placing the burden on my youngest.

It's easy-peasy...film the clip, plug camera into the PC, or use the SD card, if you have a card reader. Copy to desktop, upload to photobucket or other hosting site of your choice, and pop the video URL.

Then get a swelled head when we all brag about your Sport lol

(Not THAT head, lmao)

I appreciate all that info, but I'm not buying a new phone. That's money I could use elsewhere ....like on the Sport.

Sorry, got really busy today. had to go do paperwork for the new job, pee test, give blood for them (two vials), and sign my name 80 times.LOL.  I go to orientation for the new job next Monday, and then work (7 pm til 7 am). I hate the hours, but it's only 3 days a week, off for 4 days. Not sure if the three will be consecutive or not. I'll find all that out soon enough. Anyway, as for the video...I"M TRYING !!!! LOL.

The wall was too high, as you can see. No matter how he tried he could not break free....

O.K., we did a VERY short video. Alex (my son) used his Ipod Touch. All I could hear was the bloody wind (Oklahoma has a LOT of wind rolling down the plains).....anyway, he's going to post it on YouTube, then I'll link it over here.

Post by: vinnietbird on January 31, 2012, 09:51:47 PM
Waiting for Alex to upload it there for me.He was gone right after school. TOMORROW....I hope. I had hoped to hear the car better, but as I said, the wind in the microphone was crazy. Maybe on the computer it'll sound different.
Title: I'm going to TRY.......
Post by: vinnietbird on January 31, 2012, 09:52:51 PM
A VERY well used King Cobra clutch is what's in there now. I'll be swapping it out once I get settled in the new job and in a routine.

Somebody try that ^^^^ and see if it works.


It wasn't full throttle, but just a quick clip so you could hear it.

It says the video is not available. Your account is probably set up to be private.

I wish I knew how to show it. Alex (my son) didn't know how to get it on YouTube. Graham......any ideas?
Title: I'm going to TRY.......
Post by: ZondaC12 on February 01, 2012, 08:55:45 PM
Sounds great. A stick is fun but sure a PITA when synchros are bad or the clutch is messed up in whatever way...I'm really aggravated about the silver car. There's part of the back of the dash right against the firewall there, I feel like to weld it without melting things or starting a fire the dash must be pulled. I don't know what I'll do with that or the new black cat. One of them I might swap an AOD in one of them. It was always just sooooo much easier to do what you just did with the red car LOL. At least no matter what happens aft of it, the 302 always sounds great!!!
Title: I'm going to TRY.......
Post by: vinnietbird on February 01, 2012, 09:03:01 PM
Don't pull the dash....just pull it back a few inches. takes about 15 minutes if you take your time.
Title: I'm going to TRY.......
Post by: ZondaC12 on February 01, 2012, 09:09:35 PM
Really. Any really hidden or tricky fasteners to watch out for it? Documented to any extent on here that I could search for?
Title: I'm going to TRY.......
Post by: vinnietbird on February 01, 2012, 11:02:43 PM
on the CoolCats site. The tricky one, which isn't really tricky, is the one right above the column. There's a 10mm nut. Green if I remember right. You will have to drop the column...no big deal, 3 screws across the top of the dash, behind each kick panel, there are mounting tabs for the dash, and there's one bolt on each side, and a stiffening bar under the glove box area (in that area somewhere.). Just enough to loosen to pull the dash back a little bit.

Thanks. Still have a lot of work to do on the old girl. Too busy this week. Once the new job starts, I'll be off 4 days a week, so I'll start getting some things done.

Post by: 1Bad88tbird on February 02, 2012, 09:11:09 AM
It's looking like they're going to start a weekend shift were I work. 3 12s but it'll be friday, saturday, and sunday. If it was during the week I'd be all for it. I like my weekends off. We'll be working 4 10s with the weekend off so I'll take it.
Title: I'm going to TRY.......
Post by: vinnietbird on February 02, 2012, 09:18:39 AM
Every day is the same to me. I can actually got more done being off during the week because everything is open later and more accessible to me. Salvage yards here are closed Sunday, and close at noon on Saturday. Seems like they would want to be open, but that's the way it is. In the end, I'll work the schedule they give me. For now.. LOL.

Post by: 1Bad88tbird on February 02, 2012, 11:09:18 AM
I agree with your reasons but for me I'm stuck with steady afternoon shift and my wife works day shift, So the only time I see her is on the weekend. If I would work the weekend shift I'd see her for a few hours a day but I wouldn't have a full day with her. It's hard enough having to wait for the weekend to actually spend time with her. Plus weekends are when everything goes on like car shows and stuff.

Post by: vinnietbird on February 02, 2012, 03:07:39 PM
My wife and I have had only one weekend off a month for the last 18 years. I understand. Not sure if this job will be permanent, time will tell.

I thought about doing another with our camera, but it doesn't have sound, and he's unsure how to post it on Youtube.
