So, with your car do you notice it kind of lurches when you shift it? I haven't been able to figure out how to accelerate "fast" without it kind of lurching between shifts. I think maybe stiffer engine mounts would help but I dunno besides that.

For the record, I can drive my stick shift Shadow and Camry fine haha.

Due to some unfortunate events, I'm returning my car back to stock. I'm still going to keep the driver's engagement mods; TRD quickshifter and sport pedals.

already started with the simple bits

What is it exactly that you are looking for?

Also, not the greatest place to be asking this stuff buried inside of another's unrelated thread.

I haven't updated in a while.

A couple weeks ago on my commute home, a couple tried to scam me into giving them cash to fix the "damage" that I supposedly caused. Accusing me of swerving into their lane. Anywho, long story short, I insisted on getting the police and insurance involved and their whole demeanor changed, and they booked it.

This event kind of fucked me up, mentally. I know I didn't swerve into their lane. No impact was felt, nor did I hear any metal to metal contact in our tin can. I kept replaying the situation back in my head, and wished I had a dash cam.

so that's what I did.

LG Innotek 2 Channel system.





Oh and those assholes keyed my driver's rear quarter and scuffed it with scotchbrite or something in an attempt to make it look like I made contact with their caved in front passenger fender.
Passenger pinned my door close to prevent me from assessing the damage on my vehicle, while the driver got out and directly made their way to my rear quarter.



It's only the clear, I've yet to buff it out.

Also, as I part my car, my parts that I've ordered a couple months back are starting to show up lol. My TRD brake lines showed up, completing my TRD line collection. She's going to be a responsive daily driver. :)



Cusco coilovers should be showing up anytime now too lol.

If you got any tracable info on those people, thats hit and run. When approached by the police they'll probably change their tune and then its vandalization of private property, among other things. I'm sorry you have to deal with this but I am now wiser from your experience. I hope you don't ever have to go through that again. Nice cam too. Keep us posted.

Wow. The levels some people will go never ceases to amaze me. So sorry you had to deal with that, man. As long as the metal isn't dented, judging by the pic, it looks like that can be color sanded/buffed out.

Yeah, people suck. The whole event was stressful, I hope noone else has to go through something like this.

I got their license plate and filed a report the next day with CHP. More so to cover my ass. Last thing I want is for them to turn the table on me, and say that I did a hit and run. Hopefully karma catches up to them.

On a brighter note, people have stopped tailgating me once they realize that there's a camera recording them.

I'll upload some videos soon to show the quality.

Quick video of the front camera, I think I need LG's software to PiP the rear camera. Also, I haven't hooked up the GPS yet either.
