I have a small stereo Olympus mic I bought through Amazon based on a recommendation I got here. I'll dig up that link when I get to the office. But I wound up mounting it behind the rear bumper just above the muffler.

I tried a couple places (under the hood taped to the MAF pipe, and in the hatch in the cubby behind the wheel well) and I liked this one the best, I liked the raspiness.

get a rubber hose and run it from near the air filter into the cabin like on a mustang

Ok here's the Mic I bought:

First Shawn, Hi five the car looks and sounds great !!!

Although the video is awesome Sadly, the audio sucks on this camera, PERIOD!

I have an older Go Pro (like 2 yrs ago model) Hero HD Pro . There is no audio mic jack to plug into. The newer ones allow you to use an aux mic ..
There was a video on you tube, that shows how to hot wire a mic but you will loose the water proofing .. I added the link below.
I have tried the non water proof case, that was supplied with the camera, but the sound still sucks with that case on ..(unless you mount it in the cabin) If mounted outside, as soon as you reach 30 mph, the sound is worthless ....
I mounted mine for this test run with the suction cup on the front bumper with a safety string tethered to the tow hook ...
Although, I think the best mount would be the Redline licence plate mount that uses the tow hook.
I kinda like the view from this angle Click HD on video quality....
Regards
Ed
ps
Here is a video of how to change your older gen HD Go Pro if ya want to go that way

Thanks Eddy! I have a GoPro Hero 2 that has a 3.5mm mic jack. The mic jack is not powered however. I also had to drill a hole in a case to accommodate the jack which makes it no longer waterproof. I bought a powered mic with a 20 ft cord for $29 at MicroCentre. Mic is mounted outside the car right above the exhaust outlet. Ran the cord through the cabin and out the hatch. Overall, I think the audio is not bad with this setup.

Exactly the same place I have mine mounted

Finished first track day at Road Atlanta with the 3.1L Hybrid Stroker. No issues at all thus far. Had a great time hanging out with Josh B, 67King and Drift 944.

David Floyd

Great to hear your hybrid is doing well on the track, need to meet up at an event with you guys sometime. I'm headed to Barber next Sunday

Any video's from today ?

refresh951

Thanks David. Be great to meet you. It was great meeting Harry today. We all went out to dinner and had a great time talking cars. Good luck at Barber, I want to get over their just to go through the museum.

I will post some in-car video tomorrow. I am definitely a newbie at the track but had loads of fun

Shawn, great job. I'm glad that you're testing the waters on so many fronts. Are you measuring oil temp by chance?

refresh951

Thanks Sid! No oil temps. I was thinking about that today, I need to add that to my logger. Coolant temps were great and never an issue.

Not bad results for Mitsubishi rods in an engine design from some crazy guy

Great going Shawn. Car looks brilliant and you've got the mike right as it sounds great with that burble. Did you get any video at higher revs to hear what that sounds like?

V2Rocket
