Great,
I'll choose the best ones that should be hosted. Some of them are on the smaller side and I'll upload as many as i have space for. I'll PM you tonight with the URL so you can snag them from there. A few of 'em can prolly be chopped down to get the 'meat' of the video, either the start up, the rejoicing or the car running around.

The vids were taken with a Canon S400 at max res, which escapes me at the moment. So some of the driving scene's aren't the best b/c you can't zoom in and out, but you get the idea. I and CARX7 appreciate this.

J-Rat,

How much room do you have? I'm ballparking a guess that I've got about 200 megs of video, that equals out to 4 3min vids/ w sound. Although not all of the vids are 3mins. Some are shorter etc....

Do you use MSN IM? Tonight at 9ish I'm going to be uploading the vids to my server so Chris can get a copy of 'em, you can either somehow get in touch with me then and I can give you the link to download them or you can get the files from chris later.

THe other guy, coincopy, said he may edit them down a bit, I just found out XP comes with editing software but I won't have time to get a finished product out. Maybe later.

Anyway, I may be able to host some of it as well if I watch my bandwidth usage carefully for a few days. If we all had different clips that may work out really well.

I'll figure it out later tonight once I figure out exactly what it is I have. The vid of chris driving around in the dark can probably be made into an audio only since you can't see anything but his retarded hanging headlight when he returns.

Wow. I've had many questions on my wheels. Here is some general information about the wheel tire setup:

They are Rays Gram Lites 57C
17x7.5 +40 225/45 and 17x9.5 +38 255/40
Toyo Ts-1's

I purchased these through automotive R&D (ARD T2) while he was still around the forum. He requests that his customers not disclose pricing due to the deals that he gives, but I'll just say you can't get them cheaper elsewhere. PM me if you are seriously interested, and need more detail than that.

Here are a few pics from months ago when I got them. They really don't do the wheels justice, but they give some other angles as to how they look.
The finish is awesome, they have a slight glimmer to them... that doesn't show up in the pics. Plus, the rear dish really makes the set, you can kinda see this in the last pic.


*edit* didn't like these pics... Let me try again...
Here's one:

ahhhh, this won't let my pics show up!!!

For some reason the pics won't show up here... but they'll show up in the test area... Hmmm annoying.

So I guess you'll have to settle for looking at them here until I figure that out.

Coincopy, sorry I didn't get those vids up on my website last night. It took forever to transfer all the vids to CARX7 and by the time it was done it was 11 and I went to sleep. J-rat has 100 megs or so as well. Tonight I"ll zip up a few vids and put them on my server and then I'll get you the link. There's a total of 337 megs so I'll try to get as many crammed into my server as possible, it may take one or two days to get you 1/2 of them!

J-rat, I just PM'd you, did you get all the vids from Chris? I put a link to 80 or some megs I've got zipped up on my server.

Chris, you may want to start another thread since so many have visted this one they may not be checking it, something like CARX7 Vids or whatever.

Well, if I host them all, then I will be paying millions of dollars for bandwidth. So I am picking the ones that I think people are interested in, and hosting those.

I've only got 2gigs worth of Bandwidth per month, that's why I'm not hosing any of 'em, I'd be in the poo house so fast!

If I had the time, and the know how, I'd edit a bunch together but alas, no time and no know-how.
Thanks for putting a few up though.

holy crap man... I just moved away from Tucson, and finally got my FC3s here in Las Vegas....

Take that baby to the track, tell me the date your going too, so I can send my friend down there to the track.

What kind of intake manifold is that? And also, where did you purchase that VINTAGE AIR fan?
