Think most of the loss in torque can be clawed back with a good map, but we're talking a few HP either way here, maybe 1% of total power output, so its nothing. Far more annoying - agreeing with Rich here - is the raspy noise. I dont like it, so would pay the extra for HFCs with less rasp and keeping it road legal. You may "loose" ~1% power with them over decat, but who cares? As always its horses for courses. Theres no right choice, just the one you feel is the best for you.

I always thought they looked great too

Posted on Facebook page - should get a few more votes

In all honesty I think its nothing to do with the upgrade, I'm just ribbing Virgin customers

Nowt wrong with twisted copper pair lad To be fair the infrastructure in this country is shocking. I look forward to the day we finally get proper fibre optic to the door I'm hoping Blasingmoke will be a trial area for FTTP as it was with FTTC.

Rather have 5Mb that worked than 120Mb that didnt I dont have 120mb No but thats where they are trying to get you to and clearly their failover isnt very good going by this blackout they had

I see the upgrades are going well - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-16611686

Remember, it can be as standard or modified as you like, its meant to be a cross section of the club, we have all varieties of Z33/Z34 here

Being SC will make a massive difference as will any FI. Any back pressure on FI is bad, whereas for NA it doesnt make anywhere near as much difference. HFC vs decats on a normal Zed I would bet is only a few HP in it. Certainly not enough to feel it on the road and maybe not even enough to measure on a track. Only the dyno would give it away.

Yup, used to be a "producer", if they suspect your car isnt road worthy, they'd give you a bit of paper telling you to go get it tested and report back to the Police station with evidence otherwise you'd get a fine. Not often they'd do it, just for overly loud cars that obviously had next to no exhaust system. Same was done with loud bikes too.

Was close to voting for the old blue Datsun, you're lucky!

As the others have said, really good day(s) out but dont bother with Grandstand seating. Really you need to do Sat and Sun, spend one day watching the hill and one day looking at all the other stuff. Otherwise if you spend one day you'll end up missing stuff up the hill or missing the other demos that go on off the hill. Still even if you only do one day its a really good day out

Search for Colin (Ebized) car, he has them fitted EDIT: As Im in a good mood - here you go - viewtopic.php?f=162&t=37496

Ah well, I don't really like the neighbours anyhow.... It can't be much louder than the stock one with no back box right (mine broke in half in the normal place by the flange)? Think you'll find it can

Isnt that the song the RB team were banging out of their garage when Seb won the title?

OOOoooh yesh. But nice at the same time. Couldnt live with it every day but they sound awesome

+1. I was there when AdrianK put his BC exhaust on and it was very well made, went straight on bar the plastic bit. Eveything was lined up perfect first time.

Dont go thinking that protected no claims will protect you from increased premiums. We had this arguement with the insurance company last time around when we made a claim with protected no claims (with Admiral) and they tried to raise our premium. The only reason they eventally relented was because when we called originally to make the claim we asked outright and they had it on tape so couldnt go back on their word when they said it wouldnt make a difference. They pointed out that from then on although the no claims was protected, it didnt mean that premiums wouldnt rise because of a future claim. I guess said person on the phone first time around also got a bollocking for saying it wouldnt effec the premium!

Was about to say the same

I hear the usual unreliable sources put it together

Keep us informed, its not something that comes up a lot Shame PIAA dont do them, their silicone wiper blades are very good.

They are aero wipers, so not sure PIAA do them?
