Of course a car with no mufflers, ext gates not plumbed etc etc will do it.

Road cars, with a level of noise legality surrounding noise, ride height and so on, simply not going to happen

You've got more issues with a 4" exhaust and ride height, then a 3"... And I was talking, perfectly legal road going cars. Not those running screamer pipes or anything.

Also, not every 400RWKW car runs turbos or forced induction either.

But I have seen FI cars, run with 400RWKW and 3"

anyone with there car sitting stupidly low worry about exhaust height obviously hasnt taken much notice to there suspension except for it sits hektically low

with my twin 3" into single 4" i had on my silvia at the lowest point as it passed under the diff i had 110-115mm clearance from the pipe to the ground.. and no the car didnt sit like a 4wd

My reference to ride height, was in response to mr Nismo.

And I'd be saying your car was one of the nearly stupidly low cars if you only had 110 - 115mm of ride height. Seeing how the legal limit, when completely empty, is 120mm, and when maximum loaded, is 100mm... You had a max of 15mm before you were below legal limit... Something I'd call low.

I was simply pointing out, if you read the post I quoted, that a 4" gave more ride height issues then a 3"... Whereas, mr Nismo wasn't trying to state ride height issues with the person running a 3"...

wat you didnt read was were i said the lowest point of my exhaust was 110-115mm clearance and that was right were it went under the diff.. car never had any scraping issues and was far from "stupidly low"

the car even made it up my driveway which was almost impossible for any car that wasnt factory height

the limit is 100mm regardless, ive been pulled over and spoken to by police many times ( mine is 102mm) theres no rule for 120mm empty... i wouldnt call it stupidly low, never been held back by a single speedhump yet, just need to know how to take it and go slow,

i got a 4" turboback exhaust as well

my mums stock bmw is 115mm from its lowest point, wouldnt really call that level stupidly low these days

    • Biggest thing is you're okay!   It sounds like between the accident, and the drive home, it was a pretty torturous trip again! On the bright side, you took the opportunity to enjoy the event more from the perspective of a spectator, than as an entrant!   Sad to see so much damage to the car. It really has taken a HUGE hit in the front end. If/when you choose to repair, hopefully the rails are straight (At least from shock tower backwards). Hopefully the extra cage coming through there has save most of the chassis rails, and HOPEFULLY saved the motor too. Best of luck when you eventually get motivated to start pulling it down to check it all out
    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !
