Got a basic dashcam to keep in my daily driven NA, after I was chased by a reckless crazy guy last week for "going too fast in his neighborhood." Was going under 30.

Yep..Copper clinch bolts are a lifesaver on exhaust manifolds..Stainless studs too? In any event nickel based anti-seize may be in order to combat the high temps..unless there's something better.

Nice, Michael..I guess this stays on the outside of the car so it can see the wind? LOL!

Hmm... I should really think about picking up a dashcam... Where did you mount yours, and does it record automatically, or do you have to remember to start it?

Right up next to the rear view mirror. It's so small that it doesn't really get in the way of anything.

Amazon Amazon

Once I set it to record, it automatically does it whenever I plug in the power adapter (cigarette lighter). However because that port gets 12v full time I unplug it whenever I get out of the car. Current plan is to wire it in behind the dash to a switch 12v source, such as the power to my wideband or something, and tuck the wiring behind the A-pillar so it's not hanging down the windshield. It comes with a 32gb memory card but it's a no-name so I popped in a Toshiba 32gb I had.

A lot of this was disassembled to replace the PS reservoir return line. Well now it's back together.



Installed the updated (insulated) auxiliary water-pump hose.
