    Can easily install the resonated pipe back in for that kind of thing, 30mins job max It may even go back in anyway depending on how much the charger makes a difference

    Smudge's supercharged V8 build

    Went out for a drive earlier tonight, thought I'd get a couple of videos of the new exhaust sound 1/4 throttle, 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_gA2LqDeEg Full throttle 2nd gear https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6a__o6dIRI Much meatier sound, wonder what the supercharger will do to it?!

    Don't think my gauges will be a problem, they're fairly bright! But we'll soon see As for spring rates, front is 4kg and rear is 6kg Also got my new carbon fog light surrounds today Look immense, but then came across this Can't see it unless you're really up close, so tempted to just keep them rather than send them back seeing as these are unique from what I know

    REALLY bored at work today, which is never good for my wallet... Just purchased a few little bits: Boost, Oil Temp and Oil Pressure gauges To fit into this which fixes onto the passenger side of the dash and faces the drivers side

    I do a BBQ at work at least once a month, no one's complained/failed to come into work the next day as of yet, so I'll volunteer!

    SOOOOOOOO excited to pick up another box today, although I had to unpack it to fit it in the car... and it contained my favourite mod so far! Can't wait to fit this!

    Exhaust query

    Tried to get some videos last night using a GoPro from a friend, but the files corrupted Will have another bash soon

    Exhaust query

    My new setup on the 86 is a big improvement, but just needs to be a tad louder in my opinion. It's made up of: Borla UEL headers Berk overpipe Berk HFC Invidia Q300 catback The Invidia's midpipe has this larger section in it Am I right in assuming that this would act as a silencer, and that with a straight pipe it would be a bit louder?

    Well, what a difference a bit of pipework makes! Just a few pictures for now Up on the ramps at Fast Road Conversions in Ashford. Top guys here, squeezed me in last minute like they did with the 350z and the work is top notch Out with the Invidia midpipe with the resonator New, custom pipe in. Had to put a flexi in to makeup for the lack of spring bolts that held the Invidia midpipe in place All I can say is WOW! Such a different car now, sounds like an absolute beast but still quiet on the long motorway journey home. Only starts shouting when you open it up. Reminds me of the 350z in where the noise is, but a much different sound Will try and get videos later

    Wanted to get a before and after of the exhaust. So these videos are with the resonated mid pipe that comes standard with the Invidia [TUBE] [/TUBE] [TUBE] [/TUBE] Tomorrow will be the same videos but with a straight (unresonated) mid pipe Watch this space!

    I wouldn't mind living next to a track, as long as I get free access whenever I want! As for wildlife, it can emigrate!

    Wonder what/who prompted you to do that

    I still don't understand the need for noise limits at tracks Yes, I understand the locals don't like it. But surely if you don't like it, don't like near a racetrack?!
