Figured it was time to contribute a new video that isn't so cringe inducing. Two years and eight track days make a huge difference, but I still have much to learn. You'll see what I mean when I hit turn 1 following the end of the lap.

For those of you who are interested, here are the components I used to capture my telemetry data and incorporate it into my video.
GoPoint BT1 Bluetooth OBDII Sensor - *Bus powered so it gets juice from the car
Dual Solutions XGPS150A - Standalone GPS device with its own battery. Upgradeable to 5Hz via firmware update (actual upgrade only gets you 4Hz.) If you want super accurate GPS data, get the XGPS160 instead.
Harry's Lap Timer Rookie Edition for iOS - I used this solution to collect my telemetry and export the data in .csv format. This software has a learning curve and requires configuration before it will accurately collect data. Give yourself plenty of time to get acquainted with the app or you will be disappointed with the results.
iPhone 4 - Very glad I kept this bad boy. Came in handy and was more than capable of simultaneously collecting the OBD and GPS data. The iPhone also provided HLT with G-force data using the iPhone's internal accelerometer.
RaceRender 2 - This app brings your video and telemetry data together and provides you with multiple overlay options. The ultimate version comes with an overlay design tool for you creative types. I found RaceRender to be much easier to use than Dashware, not to mention half the price. RaceRender v3 is supposed to be released soon.
.
And in case you were wondering, this setup will work with Android devices as well. Enjoy!

bringing back a old thread from the dead. Two clips from buttonwillow last month, it was cold as hell and my rs3s had no more fight left in them. They were on their 9th day and over a year and a half old. First video I did a 2:01 second was a 2:02, plenty of errors and what not but oh well. Once the weather clears up a bit Ill be back at it. Be sure to watch in HD

Resuscitated again!
Felt good about this 1:26.5 at Thunderhill West. Third time there for me. Rob-2 and I rented out the track for ourselves for the whole day and it was a total blast. Beat my PB by 3 seconds. The only streetable-S2000 I've seen on Youtube that went faster was the gonzo Trackspec Autosports S2000, and it was only .1-.2 seconds quicker despite way more aero, exhaust, bigger wheels, etc. I'm sure there are faster laps that just aren't online, but I'm allowing myself to feel a sense of personal accomplishment anyway.
Can't wait to get back and continue to work on lines and consistent weight transfer at corner entry.
