I don't know if the newest generation is a big improvement over other generations to warrant the extra money

I can record in 1080p on mine and it has one of those suction cup mounts...luckily my dad bought when it was new and kept in in storage....finders keepers! lol

It's a great camera.... I'm sure they've made some good improvements over my generation but I'm very pleased with mine.

My brother and I have also been contemplating getting a Go Pro as we also ride dirtbikes and have a pretty cool MX track on private family owned land.

I've done some research, but not a lot. The newest one, the "Hero 3" has three different versions I believe. The cheapest version is called the "White Edition" and from what I can tell it does all I'd need. The only (sort of) draw back about it is that it won't do full 1080P while wide view mode, which is the mode you want to be in cause its just much cooler looking. It will do 720P in wide mode which is acceptable for me.

I have looked up the Hero 2 online on sites like Ebay, but you can't find a good used Hero 2 with all the accesoried included for less than $200.

I don't know how the Hero 2 compares to the new Hero 3 White Edition.

I've done a little bit of research over the last few hours and it seems that the hero2 and hero3 silver are pretty much identical in all visual aspects. It's in the audio aspects where the hero3 excels. Here's a video on youtube where they have some pretty good tests (in my opinion), that show the differences.

Yep, what I've found says the same....the basically the Hero 3 Silver is the Hero 2, but with WiFi (All Hero 3 models have Wifi) and the Hero 3 White is similar to the Hero 1, but with a better lens and of course the wifi.

Yea, but it does sound like the microphone makes a different on the hero 3s.

So I took my car out for a drive today as it is finally nice and sunny. Haven't had it out for a good week to maybe closer to 2 weeks. Haven't driven it a lot lately because of the weather.

Anyways, it did something strange, that has actually happened once or twice before and not that I'm freaking out about it or anything, but when it does happen it is quite unnerving. A real "WTF" moment. I was cruising down the highway, normal rpms 6th gear and suddenly the engine acts as if it is missfiring and starts shuddering and what not. Almost feels as if the transmission is skipping or like the engine was fed too much fuel and the engine is choaking or sputtering. It lasts a second or two and goes away. No CEL.

Like I said it has happened once before, but this time I noticed it happened when I was steady on the highway and then released my foot off the gas. It happening when I released my foot off the gas is what has me thinking maybe it was a fuel issue??? But thats just a guess. I can't remember what I was doing exactly when it happened the previous time, except that was cruising on the highway.

I will also say that both times I had probably only been in the car 2 - 5 minutes so it may not have been fully warm.

Anyone else notice this? I wonder if there would be any codes it left behind that I could view?

Use your trifecta code scanner. I know when I got my dyno done, no CEL popped up, but there were codes in the system dealing with traction control. I'd guess if there was a code, the code reader should pick it up.

Been away for the weekend since I made that last post. I'll definitely check it and see what I come up with.

A breather is not necessary. If you want to see if you need it pull the air intake tube that goes to the throttle body and pass a paper towel through it. If oil comes out then it's recommended. I personally don't have one.

As for best place to order one Apex has been great for me and so has Ivan over at South West Speed. I have the elite can and really like it. I prefer it over the RX for its draining method. If you choose the RX can keep in mind they have a little bit of wait time.

Oil definitely comes up from there, I can see some when I remove the cap. I'd rather not wait because I really want to seafoam the car and put my mace manifold on. I need an oil change too so I figured I'd install everything all at once and do my oil change.

Where can I order the elite can with the quickest shipping? I suppose a breather too ..

Apex sells both the elite can and the Rx breather. I'm not sure if there is a waiting time for the breather though. I would send Chase a PM since he replies quickly and see what he can do for you.

I have the Hero 2. If you go to my YouTube channel (link in sig) my in car videos are taken with it. Great quality. A co worker has the Hero 3. Imho it isn't worth it, unless you need the latest and greatest tech.
