jukebox Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Hi,my names James and after debating what my 'midlife crisis' car should be I decided on getting a Scoob with the intention of having a bit of fun.Started off my driving life at 17 with a Daihatsu Charade Gtti that I managed to get up to about 160bhp (seriously fast shoebox lol) that was running a BBR reboost and uprated internals. Used to love going down Maccy d's in Cannock and punishing RS's and R5's etc ;-).Managed to squeeze in 2 15's, 2 12's and a set of component speakers from a jukebox mounted on a board so when you folded the rear seats down it made an ungodly racket....hence the nickname jukebox that has stuck lol.Managed to get that car into FastCar with a small feature and then progressed.Following cars have been 2 Astra GTE's(8 valve & 16 valve and later a GSI.Had a break from the scene and became normal for a while :-( until 4 years ago when I bought a Volvo T4 and modified that to about 230-240bhp. The missus decided to drive that into the door of a golf and since then promised myself another quick car.Last week bought a 04 wrx that has Godspeed front brake upgrade, uprated fuel pump and HKS filter & DV and a stainless system with a quiter Prodrive rear box.Was told by the previous owner that it had been remapped to 280bhp and have no reason to disbelieve him as it goes like stink.Theres a minor dink on the car that I will get sorted soon and I plan on leaving the car as it is for now and enjoying it for the summer.I did (unknowingly)attend the meeting at Curborough yesterday and hopefully I can meet up with you guys soon and put the world to rights and hopefully use this forum for help and to help others.Sorry for the long intro and I look forward to meeting up with some of you guys soon.Cheers James.

jukebox Posted July 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Ahh you mean u might be able to make my go pro work ?? As I have a two and a three have done for over hmmm 2 years and uploaded 1 video !!!I can try and help mate. I found out the hard way that you need a good spec pc to be able to edit gopro footage :-(Much easier to record in a lower res (720×60 fps) and then pop the memory card into a decent phone.Easier to upload from your phone as you start the upload before you go to sleep and its all done by the time you get up.Or you need an i6 processor at the very least to edit hd videos on a laptop.Bring em along when I come to the next meet and we'll strap one onto the front of a 160mph plane Ive got lolol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
