That is so rad! Car looks great
I have often noticed, your eye for still photography is exemplary. Always just the right lighting, angle, background -- heck, you can make that car look good no matter where it sits. Sure, it helps to film attractive subject matter, but that's only part of the puzzle.
And then I looked at the video... wow. A masterpiece. My sweetie and I were both very impressed with the camera work, and the narrative feels just right. Bravo. My skills and exposure are apparently 20 years behind the times... although knowing that drone footage has become commonplace, I never even considered how much it could enhance this type of documentary, when performed in the right hands. Truly superb.
The close up walk-around shots, were they also via drone simply because it was available? Or did you shift to handheld, perhaps with gimbal?
Fabulous.
Very cool luggage stereo, what kind of tweeters and woofers?
Look great as usual. Wait, this was at the SLOrolling rally? I?m just now putting it together it together that I saw this car, met you and watched David Bello?s video of his drive. How?s the LSD?
Thanks! No way! We should start wearing our forum handles on badges What were you driving that day? That was great fun swapping cars with David. His car is so lovely, it's the perfect ying to my yang so to speak. The LSD is so far amazing, no more inside wheel spin on hard cornering but now I could use a little more horsepower (or narrower tires) to make it naughty
Now having watched the video, this car is fantastic.
For those who want to see this car in action:...
interesting about the lights. I have no issues running my Indian h4 lenses and rock guards without high beams on.

I do a lot of night driving in this thing on empty country roads too.
Did you clean your connectors ?
With the headlights on, check the voltage at the bulbs. The Amazon headlight wiring arrangement is marginal. Supplying the headlights through dedicated fuses and relays from the Battery + terminal or an add in distribution point can make a significant difference. Light output for an incandescent bulb is at least proportional to the square of the voltage (the lamp rerating document on Wikipedia indicates the exponent is more like 3.5). If your alternator is running 13.8 - 14 volts and you are only getting 12 volts at the light bulbs because of voltage drop through the wiring you are getting a minimum 30% reduction in illumination.
Which lenses did you purchase? Hella and Cibie make excellent 7" H4s with good patterns. The off brands - not so good; but, they look trick.
