🤣 unfortunately I pre-traded it for a different vehicle that I won’t have for a few more months.

Nothing, they worked fine I just wanted to remove the orange for a nicer aesthetic

Yeah, I posted this video because it was hard to find exactly how to do it. The manual gives some insight as to when you get to the screen but I had to search myself. Glad it was helpful!

Hey @evdge, if you want speed and are shooting for track records, go with PDK, if you’d like to enjoy the car of casual drives (which some will hate on and say you should be taking to track), get manual. That’s my opinion though. I loved the manual!

@@finegears great answer! thanks 👍

Sorry for the delay, I haven’t drifted with the mount but I did hit 3 digit speeds and it was fine. I trusted the suction cup because RAM is a great brand and at the time, there was only one other option that I tried and felt the suction wasn’t as strong. Now with these other options on the market, I will say, I’d spend the additional money would be worth the piece of mind

Thanks @9t64! I agree, not an excuse, I was just trying to keep my arm from blocking the camera. Should’ve taken more time to set it up prior and avoided that issue

@@finegears Yes, I experimented a lot with cam positions, it should in the line of sight, so basically on the line between your eyes and the bottom of the windscreen, so the height of the cam should be somewhere on that line, I hope u get what I mean. Also a 360 cam inside in the front corner of the windscreen is cool, I use middle of the cage, at the head/helmet and also nice is the cam outside of the car on the left rear window facing forward on the line of sight, driver door window open, then you can the work at the wheel and the street rushing through, looks quicker 😉 On the track you have to keep the windows closed for safety reasons, unfortunately 🤷‍♀️

Haha

Awesome! Has yours arrived yet? Mine kept getting pushed

I did considered Nordic Gold Metallic - I may have to circle back to it. Thank you

The 718 spyder is a beautiful car, congratulations! My assumption is that you’re not giving it enough gas before letting out on the clutch, which is causing the jerkiness. To help rule some things out, try this and let me know how it worked so we can troubleshoot: Get the car moving in first gear to about 15 mph. Step on the clutch and hold the clutch in while applying the gas to get the engine speed to roughly 2200 RPMs. Let out the clutch in a smooth motion and proceed as normal. Let me know how this works for you and we can continue to discuss to get you driving the spyder extremely smooth

Thank you so much for the quick reply! I’m very appreciative of your tips 🤝 I’m super smooth from second gear onwards, and I’ll try what you just mentioned for sure. Btw, I noticed a very positive difference between my old 1990’s manuals and this one. If I let her idle in first she never stalls or shuts off. That’s so helpful in stop and go traffic. In my old cars the car would shut off unless I had my foot in the clutch. Is this normal and won’t it hurt the car? I use this a lot in parking garages and slow driving as well, where I just let her roll with no gas or clutch input

@@SC-xy7cn having the car in neutral idling should not hurt the car. You're totally fine to do this. In fact, I've had older cars as well and they didn't stall when idling so there was probably something wrong with your 90's car which caused the engine to idle too slowly or some sort of friction when the clutch was out. In any event, let me know if your shifts are getting smoother!

@auguststas7770 Growing up in Brooklyn, I may be able to parallel park ;) When I have some time, I'll get a video up. Since I now live in the burbs, I just have to find a place or drive into the city haha

Glad to hear you're able to drive manual! 🎉

Hi @seasonalhat, hopefully this video was helpful to get you comfortable with getting a manual car moving. I should have some time this weekend to put a video together about rev matching and down shifting. Just remember to keep it simple and learn one thing at a time. 1) get the car rolling and stopping 2) rev matching for shifting gears 3) down shifting. Practice a lot and you'll be great in no time. I've been to Malaysia once visiting a company I work with out there in KL. My friend was driving me around in his manual BMW the entire time and look forward to seeing you on the road one day out there!

@seasonalhat I put a quick video together based on your request. Let me know if this is helpful. Rev Matching: Driving a manual car (Porsche GT3) part 2 ruclips.net/video/4XtBab0sM7Q/видео.html

It's a Porsche 911 GT3

What size selfie stick are you using? I switched to a 4ft one and it’s been fine. Anything longer it slowly drifts down

With this you can mount a selfie stick to it

The max speed I tested was in the 80’s but I do have a friend that used a similar set up on a track where he got up to 125mph before needing to break for a turn.

Not necessarily… if you’re plan is only to mount on the rear window or other flat surfaces, I recommend the RAM mount as the Delkin is more time consuming to set up. The delkin mount is very strong as well and more versatile for mounting onto various components of the car though.

@@finegears interesting! I might go with the Delkin cause of the versatility. It’s a lot more expensive though so the RAM is definitely interesting. Also seeing your footage on the highway is definitely another positive. Would love to get some launch videos and some drag videos so something strong will be necessary. Thanks for the info and for the great video!

Hi, would you be able to share what’s the max speed you tested the mount with selfie stick on?

I haven’t experienced it personally at the track but a friend of mine did and it held up great. I’d advise you check with the track itself to ensure they allow it. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
