Automotive YouTube thread

Post by Fred »

Hi,

I don't really have anything to post here just yet, but I thought I'd stick it up and put a link to the diyefi.org FreeEMS vids in this first post.

http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=diyefi&p=r

Chuck up your Car/Truck/Bike/Boat/engine/efi/etc automotive related links! Preferably post a rough length with them so people know what they are getting themselves into time/bandwidth wise.

This thread has been pretty dead, so I have a few to add to it :

This mini video is pretty impressive, I've seen it a few times, but always worth a rewatch (watch to the very end) :

And these two Romanian vids are hilarious IMO :

This is one of my favourite youtube vids of all time. Not sure if it was luck of skill but damn impressive either way.

Luck landing the way he did, skill doing what he did afterwards :-) Seen it before, and it is good.

OMFG!!!

I just opened up the DIY EFI YT for a quick 'look see'.
A few vids down I came across THIS link (Bruce Bowling: "Noise - it's all your fault!"):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIi2_lCcazs

Firstly, it's over an hour in length! Did you READ that? OVER AN HOUR!
And then there's the title... I'm speechless!
I could only watch it for 5-10 mins (but I'll definitely keep it mind for those insomnia-type winter nights, or perhaps when I need a good laugh!)
Personally, I'd suggest avoiding having to continually make the "I screwed up" comment every minute or so when trying to describe my circuit design.
(Perhaps by trying something really radical... Peer review? Skill and prior experience? Common sense?)

Phew!!! I almost went that route!

LOL, pretty much. I was:

1) Equally stunned when I first saw it.
2) Elated when I re-found it later and cached it there
