$3 iPhone Mount

I was looking for a cheap way to record my autocross runs without resorting to a GoPro camera, which usually costs hundreds of dollars.  My point and shoot camera is outdated now, so my friends suggested that I use my iPhone camera, which records video in HD.  My co-worker recommended this cheap camera mount, which sells for $3 shipped from Ebay.
I received a suspicious looking package from China relatively quickly after I bought it.  Either it contained SARS, or my camera mount.  Looks like it was the mount.  I tested it in my car, and there was a shitload of side-to-side vibrations, probably due to the wiggle room on the clamp itself.  I will try to ghetto-rig something to solve the problem, stay tuned!

Supra Rear Subframe Removal

Today, I helped Duy remove the rear subframe from his Supra.  It was a good learning experience, and although we could not get to removing the front subframe before sunset, it was still a productive afternoon.
