I think you need more dials. Yes, more and bigger.

I opened both videos at the same time, so when I started watching the OP's one this was playing in the background - it was perfect! rofl

Well edited and good camera positioning - also excellent picture quality.

Give youself 9 out of 10 - no burnouts/sideways driving reduced the score......;)

Thanks guys, yes Im aware not many people like big white sun glasses but oh well! haha... Yeah The car was OEM when I got it, been working on it for years now!

Music is not to every ones taste but I dropped the music volume to try and hear the car more. I need an external mic for the go pro to really hear it.

To echo others, it would've been nicer to hear the engine. Ditch the music next time. Also, I know you're probably trying to be 'arty' going for black and white, but IMO colour would've looked better though. Nice editing / picture quality in general though.

Also your seat position (see 1.18 in the vid) is way too reclined as your upper back is bent way forward. Given that you're neither a spotty yoof in a 106, or a "gangsta" in an Escalade, try having it a bit more upright - way comfier and more control on the wheel. Think how upright fixed buckets are if you don't believe me.

I'd echo the comments about the naff music, dodgy sunglasses and poor driving position. You look like you need to be a bit closer to the wheel. Nice idea though, the Triangle was made for having Japanese coupes driven round it!

I think a head-up display is in order.

i like the car but the video was a bit by numbers of other videos, i want to see more hardcore driving action on a track.

Didn't like the vid one bit, unsurprisingly I don't want to watch some poser wearing shades and occasionally changing gear, the first part would have been better to watch but for some reason you sped it up which ruined any impression of speed when overtaking etc. Not so much a vid about a car but you admiring yourself?

Thanks for the comments guys, the sound quality on the go pro is not that great so I though it might be a bit boring with no music? Next one will have no music.

As for the driving position, I want a set of fixed back seats but they can come when funds allow. I would love to post up some track action etc, or burn out video, high speed but posting things like that on youtube might not be the best idea!

Ido have some video's on my channel that are track day's and TOTB, 1/4mile and some top speed runs etc but all done legally on tracks etc.

I've not done a block and white film for ages so though this one might look better in B&W.
