Curious to see video quality from the smarty cam dual. Hopefully you can post some soon. I have a hard time stomaching $3k for that setup. Seems like it is hardware that should be at best half that price.

Except it will turn on and record 100% of the time. Gladly sacrifice 4K for dependability, let alone all the telemetry capabilities.

GP can’t be the benchmark because 50% of your intended video doesn’t exist.

Also, who is watching these videos of club racer level drivers going round in circles, thinking “damn this would so much more compelling if it were a bit higher def”?

The dual does go to full HD 1080. The only 4k on the market would be Vbox and double the price.

What your opinion on the Geoff Steel Carbon Doors? They have a nice price compared to some of other options out there. How was the fit/quality?

Forgot to grab pics. Will send more once back from beach.

Here are a few
Did you move the brake booster pump from the driver fender location? Or is that piece of sheet metal a protective shield for it? Assume you're running vented fenders?

Looks great!

If you need to move the brake booster its pretty simple. I was able to relocated mine with minimal effort when I cut vents into my fenders.

Sweet! Haven't looked into venting the fenders but I'm sure it'll happen at some point. I'll bug you when that time comes lol.

And I did end up cutting the window off the GS doors. Made a channel to still put the plastic windows in for transport.

Been a bit since posting.

Finally got the Slon vanos covers installed. Simple and easy snap in.

Also got the Elise Racing/ Howell Racing Cam Beathers. Again very nice and easy install.
