not sure if you were still there, a wrx touched the grass coming on to the pit straight, lost it and went backwards into the wall hard.

lucky he had a cage.

I'm sure he had no idea he was dropping oil as he went past the pit entrance twice whilst it was happening!

yeh i saw that.. the red one? pretty much lost the rear end of his car poor guy.

nah the guy new he dropped his oil.. according to the towie, he'd lost 4th, couldnt take it out of gear and from what he explained to the towie, he saw the oil out the rearview.

the fact that he didnt drive into the pit but instead continue along the straight is pretty dumb if you ask me. surely you'll know somethings wrong if you cant get it out of 4th.

It's worth it every time you press the quiet button on the remote. I can't believe how quiet mine is closed, almost stock noise level, not bad for a 3.5 inch muffler. Even open it's not too bad.

Hrmm maybe i'll drop past sometime! it is something useful to have for starting up in the morning so you don't wake neighbours, cruising down the highway, having elderly passengers or driving past cops etc....lol

do it.

lol everyone jumping on the Varex wagon now...where were you two years ago when I was pushing the things. No one believes how good they are til they drive a car with one.

Good value considering the remote controlled motor setup too Birds. They do sound a bit tinny when mounted at the rear, like they have a sock shoved up the pipe. Probably best if you can get it fitted as a centre but there isn't much room there on a skyrine.

Since we are on the topic.

When fully open, what effect does this have on the exhaust flow? Something small in the exhaust even when open will have some sort of effect?

When its closed, are there any effects on choking the system? What happens when you boot the car when the exhaust is closed, are the any possible side effects?

what was that? "Mr. f**k the remote and motor ill cut it off and make my own"

well scotts tune seemed to lean out when he put the varex back on, which means it should have more flow than the 3.5" muffler he had on before.

threoretically you want the exhaust to be quiet when its closed right? so you wouldnt really be booting it anyway. but with the flap closed, the car is a laggy POS Lol

When open, it acts like a straight through piece of pipe. As it uses a butterfly valve the restriction that would put on it when open is SFA. I have the 3" Varex and ~260rwkw no issues with flow there.

When closed, they say not to drive on boost. You can give it a couple of PSI without harm, but you only need to use closed when popo are around, getting home late or cruising on the freeway to avoid drone.

Is yours a cannon type or twin tip? They do make different sounds and have different valve setups. I have no tinnyness to mine; think it helps that the rest of my system is mild steel.

Okay well that's the same setup as a canon type and they do have more of a stainless steel to them than the twin tip.

yeh the twin tips are quieter, but i heard them on a friends car and didnt like how they sounded on an sr(not that it would ever sound great - but better than its worst) but that whole sound went out the window with the .82 housing lol

and then the gate.

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
