Derbo's ZHP

[derbo]

I remember using your site for some information about compass autodim mirrors .





I decided to order oem blank rotors for street driving and leaving my performance rotors for racing since swapping pads was becoming difficult to make sure there was no deposits from the track pad layers. Keeping pads and rotors separate from my track brakes seem to help my steering vibration problem after padswaps.

for your External Mic question, when I use to run a production company with my partner this is what we used with our GoPros, this was mainly used in extremely violent off road competitions and worked great.

Sennheiser MKE 400 linked to amazon cuz they are an affiliate

If you need any other help with mic/go pro set ups or knowledge let me know.. I know a thing or two about videography/post process

I'm using a Sennheiser wireless G3 lavalier setup for my interviewing on film....but for those surprise interviews when I can't take time to mic them up...is that a good mic to zero in on their voice and cut a significant amount of background noise compared to the on camera mic?

Compared to the on camera mic you will pick up voice very well, its is a directional mic though so anything behind the person you are interviewing you will still hear, but while still picking up that persons voice very clearly. It also has 2 volume settings for how loud you want to pick up that person voice. its a pretty compact mic and for the price, size, etc I think it does an amazing job. You could also replace the "oem" wind sleeve for a "dead cat" and get better results and more pro look. I really like Sennheiser and have also used their lavaliere mics Hope that helps Trevor.

edit: I forgot what I liked most about this mic, it takes a AAA battery and last forever.

P.S. I have been meaning to reply to your PM, just been super busy and didnt want to give a half ass reply.

Sounds like a tough call. Would you be building the m3 for the track the same as the zhp? I think everything would cost a bit more on the m3 and would take a pretty sizeable chunk of change to make fast above what it would on the zhp. Either way, you can't go wrong.

[derbo]

The M3 would definitely become a daily track car. I would need to invest in a fair amount of stuff to get it to the level my ZHP is.

-Brakes (probably would've been stoptech all around)
-Suspension (probably AST4100 for starters)
-Rims/Tires (Unsure but it would've been 18s)
-all the preventative maintenance.

The car looks like there has been no record of Inspection II being performed and being an M3, valve adjustment is needed as well. Water pump looks original as well and the clutch is getting thin.


I decided to pass for something I really want. The price of the M3 was low but it just wasn't exactly what I wanted in an M3. I want a ZCP






On a sidenote:

-Oil Filter Housing Gasket
-Crankcase Ventalition System

These will be addressed soon!

New rims may come in before July 8th Laguna Seca. I haven't decided yet.

[Rovert]

how can you tell the clutch is getting thin? THe grab point is higher than normal?

[derbo]

It was getting high, as well as when redlining the car, it was starting to slip.


The car was a trade-in at the dealership. I would've gotten it at trade-in cost + tax/fees



The more I think about it, the only reason I wanted that car was for the extra power and LSD.
