Shut the trunk lid, which tightens up on the strap as well. Turn it on, and let her rip.....

Thats a great idea!!!! Im so gonna do that when springs comes around. It would probably look cool mounted on the front to. Dammit I hate winter

I might have to give it a whirl too... I like the idea of the front mounted, but all you'll get is wind noise and you run the risk of a rock or something hitting it.

Well I went ahead and made an attempt at the video tonight. It was my first time and I learned some lessons...

1. Strap the camera down better, it's a bit jumpy...
2. Don't waste any time at cruising speed... my camera only films 1 minute intervals
a. It cut off before you could see me an an Impreza have a short run (lucky chance encounter)
3. Don't sound like Forest Gump when you're saying the name of your exhaust...
4. The 'smokey effect' from exhaust on a cold night looks cool in videos... :-)

Here you go...

LOL at the Forest Gump. Sounds very good. I think the issue with my vids is my camera.

I'm just using a Canon A610 still camera, but it has a video mode... it works ok I guess.

My parents are getting my wife and I a camcorder since we're expecting our first baby in a few weeks....... and they think the camcorder is going to be used for baby stuff. :-)

Thanks, I really like the Corsas... kind of want some LT headers to go with them though.
