So i rigged up this simple, free incar mount for my gopro today and figured it was worth sharing.

You will need:

A drill;

screwdrivers;

the plastic base that your gopro came attached to in the box;

About 20minutes

Remove your interior light fitting. Grab the black base that your gopro was attached to in the box. Mark and drill two holes in the appropriate location. Mount it to the roof in place of the interior light. The plastic is quite soft so I suggest a couple of big washers and dont overtighten. Use the supplied mounts and arms to position the camera.

Nice Idea. I've been thinking of doing that one myself. You might want to buy an extra long extension off ebay to get it down a bit, but not too far, the spot metering gets a bit confused if there is too much overglare from direct sunlight.

I'll be doing something similar soon. Thanks for posting it up.

So, I finally got around to fabricating a mount. I tried the plastic like you but didnt like the wobble cause the base isn't as snug as the mounts that come with the go pro.

I made an aluminium base plate from a bit of angle and cut one side of angle down so it tucks up inside the headliner space. I then moutedan 8 inch magic arm. Will be testing this at some upcomeing motorsport event.

this is the view

yeah the plastic base is quite soft so Im unsure how it will go with vibration etc. I've only done a few short road tests so far and its been fine but I'm going to try it out at the track end of this month and see how it goes. How did you attach the magic arm to the baseplate?

This video will give you an idea. The base plate still moves around a little so I might put an extra two screws in to make it more secure.

I had another video that had a bit more vibration in it. Mind you, I use the curbs and on semi's you'll see the G-meter holding 2G's for over a full second.

    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.  
    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
