Touge Mountain Run

[yokotas13]

got bored, and figured id test out my new camera, and aragostas

its a little light on transition from right to left, like the front needs more downforce or something, not too sure. ive never felt it in a car before.

Not bad, Grant.

Does the camera record sound as well? If it does, can I suggest you keep the engine noise in there and layer the music on top, but not too loud to drown it out. It will help give a sensation of speed, even if you're just cruising along...

ill give it a try and report next weekend.

The camera records sound, but its not good. i have to figure out how they set it up to be great.

thanks guys

external mic perhaps? what part of japan? looks like fun

[yokotas13]

south of tokyo

okutama area

the cam i got doesnt have a jack for external mic. i just got it for stuff like this

its waterproof and stuff.

i have an HD webcam that records sounds, and a DVD cam for other shots. the webcam is mounted on the dash

Would be nice to see some outside shots! Get some mates to sit down the mountain and catch ya blasting past!

Love the mountain roads you guys have. so jealous!!

Very cool!

Question: What's with the red sections of road around corners?? Is it a Japanese version of 'caution' signs?? Is it some crazy tyre-velcro type substance that defies cornering physics? Or was it painted red just for a bit of variety?

[yokotas13]

they SAY they are for safety

they are patches of Super grip rubbery compound

its really there to stop drifting.

but its SUPER grippy.

[Xmetal]

Man how buttery-smooth are the roads over there! I too wanted to know what the red sections were for but that's been cleared up.

I bet they make any car fitted with Coil overs handle like an F1 car.

[yokotas13]

lol

well a stagea is no f1 car lollolool

i do wish it was maybe 9 or 10k all around, i think it woudl help alot with matched dampers
