RussDinoGuy's 02 GT "Slowkar" Less Slow Now

Re: RussDinoGuy's 02 GT "Slowkar" Its slow

5.5" Chem guys hexlogic pads: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BTGDR9A?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01
and an astro pneumatic 5" backing plate: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003CH3Z8W?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01

The pads come with pad cleaner but I don't quite understand why it came with a spray nozzle considering you need to dilute the solution before use

Dash cam and buffing pads! Awright. What stuffs you gonna try with the new buffy setup? Don't see any clay / polish /wax in there. I'd cover up that POR15 with DC black instead, better looks. Its good to see the slow one getting attention. Good luck on the paint stuff.

I'll probably end up doing the same thing with the cig lighter wired in like you did. I was thinking of running an add-a-fuse deal off the radio or sunroof and using a cig lighter jack like yours, cutting into a harness ehh I'm sure I could do it but I don't wanna tinker with it. Does it start recording once the car is turned on I presume? I'm guessing mine does the same thing which would be handy so i dont have to reach up and turn it on but I already have a nice process i do before starting my car IE. Putting my phone in the window for torque lol

Hey um ... FYI my cash cam lets you switch between on/off with power supply but by default it stays on til u switch off. Theres a marked power feed for accessories beside the glovebox fusebox in 99s, pull the fusebox cover/compartment or glovebox and look for it if you're not already using that.

There may be a better key on source, ignition harness was right there so that's what I did. Like junk said, the glovebox fusebox might have a key on fuse so that would work just as well. Yes my cam starts recording when it gets power, and shuts off shortly after loosing power. I thought they all did. It's install, and forget about it until you need footage .

You'll see, at first you'll remember, but it will happen lol.

I'll have to get my multimeter out and start checking them, if not radio or sunroof will probs do fine

This one-

I just about used up the rest of this leftover can on that JY front bumper, the paint was real thin. It might blend in easier with clearcoat.
 
Re: RussDinoGuy's 02 GT "Slowkar" Its slow

i used GM metallic black. if you look close into your paint you just may see some flakes in there. its not like you can really see it in the duplicolor paint, but it sure does shine good.
 


Re: RussDinoGuy's 02 GT "Slowkar" Its slow

Hardwire that camera. The plug on mine lasted about 6 weeks before the wire broke.

When I hardwired, I got one of these so I could keep it plug-n-play (ignore the wrong fuse-tap that I bought).....

Being that I don't have a sunroof, I used that circuit; key on camera on, key off camera off.
 
Re: RussDinoGuy's 02 GT "Slowkar" Its slow

There ya go, easier than tapping into wires. My dash cam only pulls like .5 amps or something.
 
Re: RussDinoGuy's 02 GT "Slowkar" Its slow

Did some recording today, low light levels is kinda blurry. During the daytime its fine, tho. Video is uploading as i type.
 


Re: RussDinoGuy's 02 GT "Slowkar" Its slow

Id didn't think it was bad, only in total blackout its meh, around lighted streets its not bad.

As for the dip and por15, dip will probably happen in another month closer too winter. Por15 here in a couple weeks, i gotta figure out how the fender liner comes out then clean up loose stuff if possible then tape off things
