Sometimes manual mode can just make things worse! LG V20

So last night my buddy Daniel dropped by to say high. He just changed up his exhaust on his fully modded Fiesta ST to something louder. I thought since our last video was just talking about the car that we do some driving instead.

It was getting dark so I thought I would record videos but crank up the ISO to get better light. Well it came out so grainy that it was just disappointing. Sound wise it was great and represents what I heard in person. Three microphones are just really dandy I have to say.

One other thing I noticed is when I hold the phone my hand shakes it too much and it doesn't stabilize too well vs if I'm panning. That you can see smooths out nicely.

Anyway here's the video. Enjoy the noise and our discussion about the mods.

Save yourself a dumb ticket and put on a front plate! Gotta make is semi decent though...

In California it is the law to have a front license plate. Lots of people still drive without one but this is just an opportunity for law enforcement to pull you over for probable cause while in disguise it's more of a 'fishing expedition' on you. Also areas like in Los Angeles have the meter maids who will just ticket you while parked. That's $20-60 gone from your pocket.

I like anybody else wants their car to look clean and modern as possible but I refuse to pay a frivolous expense.

This is the tow hook relocator  from ebay: ebay auction

it seems to be a copy of this one: original model?



Check out my video about this install.



You can see my old blogpost about the Cravenspeed model which is nicely built but not adjustable: Cravenspeed plate relocator on Golf R

I really like the option of height and angle to conform to the bumper. It just eases the pain.

Another toy..BMW 335i I have an addiction

As you may noticed, I like performance cars.

I picked up a AMG C32 that was supercharged but it just didn't feel right. I think it was due to a lack of style. Great sleeper though.

I can't resist when I see a decent deal so I pulled the trigger on this alpine white E90.

It's dropped on KW V3 suspension sitting on 19 inch real deal BBS LM wheels.

front hood and bumper as well as rear bumper and BMW Performance carbon fiber rear spoiler.

The thing I really did is that it's an auto but has an upgraded M3 steering wheel so the shift paddles are the correct PLUS/MINUS paddles versus the both sides up and down controls.

My DIY splitter / lip for the R. Cheap mod!

Today I made my own splitter. I used my old Kerscher lip as a template to cut out some 1/4 inch ABS sheeting. Used my heat gun to make t...
