    Japanese brands exhausts sounds videos

    The Syms exhaust would be my choice out of all of those, sounds like its got the perfect volume balance. On the flip slide, that TommyKaira is insane, and the power that thing must be making Also I know I shouldn't but I really like the Trial spoiler, I'm now imagining what it'd look like blended into the boot.

    Will300's Subaru BRZ Build

    As I'm sure most of you are aware several members of the club attended a Javelin trackday at Oulton Park last week. This was my first track day of 2017 and the first time I've been to Oulton Park. I was fairly apprehensive to begin with as the track was fairly wet, however after doing the sighting laps the apprehension soon disappeared. During the morning session the track started to dry fairly quickly, however there were several short showers which stopped the track drying out completely. I was fairly lucky in that I timed most of my sessions in between the rain showers. However I'd booked instruction which was allocated to me just before the lunch break, this was when it started to rain really bad. Myself and the instructor had a chat for 5minutes before the rain died down enough to go out, it was still raining for the entire tuition session. This actually turned out to be my best session, not once did I feel like I wasn't in control of the car and the instructor helped massively. Its funny when I think back as I didn't want to do a wet track day but it was bloody brilliant in the end. As for the car, well it performed flawlessly. I tried to keep my time out on track limited as I had no idea what was happening with my oil temps. So I did around 8 to 10 laps per session. I can say without a doubt the AP Racing BBK made a large improvement over the stock brakes, normally I'd find after a few laps the stopping capability would deteriorate quite quickly, with the BBK I didn't have any issues and I'd happily do 15+ laps on them. Also worth a mention is my current choice of tyre, I'm running Michelin Pilot Sport 4's in 225/45/17. The grip these provided on the damp track was very impressive, I was easily one of the faster cars on the track during the morning. In the afternoon the track dried out enough to level the field out so I wasn't quite as fast compared to everyone else. My future upgrades will now consist of fitting the HEL oil cooler I've got & buying a bucket seat. After those I'll have one hell of a decent track car. ... Oh an do more track days. Here are some photo's from the day, including an oh shit moment when my bonnet catch came lose half way around the track.

    Marks Mods

    Without or buy the Perrin relocation kit and then remove it for shows. Sticking it on the grille is crazy talk and it doesn't look right on the bumper.

  14. Hello Everyone Here are some photo's from the Toyota UK meet with Japanese designer Tada San. I'd like to thank Rob & the team at Toyota for hosting the event and putting on a good show. I tried to get a photo of everyone's car, however some photo's turned out better than others. If your car is missing sorry. Part 1:
  15. With your setup, just keep the stock system in place, if you want to chase power, then you don't wanted a catted manifold.

    HI FROM DERBY

    Technically I've already convinced myself, I just don't have the funds. If you want a BBK, I'd seriously look at getting this: http://www.japperformanceparts.co.uk/product/toyota-gt86-trd-brake-kit/ at that price you'd be crazy not to.

    Will300's Subaru BRZ Build

    @Bfranklyn86 myself and Keith only have 1 cat now, there are no cat's in either of our exhaust manifold. I retained the stock 2nd cat (front pipe) and Keith has a Berk high flow cat front pipe. Also my exhaust is non-resonated, however the AVO has a lot larger rear box / silencer compared to the Cobra.
