Lee,

If it is still the exhaust can't you look at doing an extension for the existing exhaust like I did to my pony Escort.

Can't remember if you saw it or not. But basically it was two full size silenters that went the along the entire length of the bumper and used the towing eye to secure it. Only used it once at combe but it work prefectly albeit looking a little strange..! (Also a piece of cake to fit - took less than ten minutes!)

Cheers,

Dan

PROPER day. Skyline is just an awesome car Drives there in total comfort and then is a total WEAPON on track and then drives home with no issues. LOVE it!

Sierra was fast as fuck everywhere apart from the Pitstraight where I had to back off throttle totally and coast along due to getting a noise warning Other than that it was mental. Was only running 1.4 bar as well and VERY shonky geometry! Was good to keep up with everything out there easily apart from on Pitstraight though

Car of the day for me was either the Z06 Vette which was very quick for standard roadcar!!! or the GT2.... The driver of the GT2 was a real HERO! I mean it! Legend... I followed him through three corners and he was totally sideways and on the mud in 2 of them!!!

Was nice to overtake Hadland down Craners He is just getting his eye in with new car.... It WILL be a weapon once we get noise sorted on both cars. We think the issues are induction rather than exhaust now!!!

Was great to meet everyone and I hope the people I took out enjoyed it.

Was great to run 2 cars all day and not break anything!!!

Gotta say... REALLY Loving my Skyline now Ask Mike how good it is HOW MUCH GRIP

Daz in the Dolomite is also a PROPER hero driver as well!!! FOOOOK me that thing goes in a straight line Walked away from my Skyline on back straight!!!!

Thank GOD for corners...

Dangerous's Car was AWESOME. T34 350-390bhp... surely the best all round Cossie track set up for value for money and fun. STILL a Complete weapon as well! reliable and lack of lag is sweeet!

Very very cool car!

Sierra pissed past it though on 1.4 bar
