Life hack: Porsche edition

Going through the clutch issue I'm having and came up with a solution to help me have 2 sets of eyes when a second set was not available. I used my wife's iphone to FaceTime to my iphone and was able to see what was going on at the motor while I was in the cockpit. Guys with vast tool selections have some fancy tool for this, I'm sure. But for those of us who don't.......

I use slow motion video capture to look behind the engine compartment to find lost screws or just to remember how it all looked from different angles before I took it all apart.

But your facetime idea is very good, especially during brake bleeding time.

sneak

A few shop wipes and a "drop" that would make the best spy envious, and she's none the wiser. The iPad is a great idea as well.

Thats a great idea. I regularly slip the phone behind things and take pics. Facetime is genius.

That's gold. We used to use it as a baby monitor when he fell asleep in the car.

Yup, done a few of the iPhone into tight spot photos as well. It's how I confirmed the previous owner installed a spark plug sideways.
