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.

You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

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

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?

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.

      New Honda prelude at Goodwood

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, in the same way that you can't tell any SUV from any manufacturer in any size category from any other one, "sports" coupes now all look identical. Stand back and squint your eyes and the Supra and the 400Z and the GR/BRZ things all look the same. I was just thinking last night, when sitting behind a Subaru CrossTrek, that I have no idea what it is, how it differs from an XV, or a Forester, or an Outback, or anything else Subaru offer, and I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be small, medium or large. I contrasted that to the good old days, where a HQ Kingswood had familial similarities to an LJ Torana, but there is no way that you could confuse them, and how a bit later, the HX Kinger and the concurrent Torana and the Gemini all had familial similarities, but you still could not confuse them. Ditto the ugly Fords and Chryslers of the era. But now, a RAV4 looks like a Kluger, looks like a Yaris/Cross/whatever they're calling those stupid f**king things, looks like every other Toyota that's not a Camry/Corolla sedan.

      The Prelude doesn't look that bad without all that lens distortion in those pics. Makes it look disproportionate when it isn't. Actually I kind of liked it at the Osaka Auto Messe earlier this year.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Pour in the highest octane, non-ethanol fuel you can get and see if the readout changes. If it's dead bang on 11% then I would question the sensor. Another quick test, just take it out and run normal (in an american accent) gas-o-line through it and see if the sampled ethanol or lack of changes.   United E85 here in the land of drop bears does vary a bit, I've had as high as E87 (could be water in their tanks too, who knows)

      Yep. And if you ever do, you'll just have to deal with it then.

      E10 is pretty tightly regulated in percentage. Too much and engines can't adapt. Every incentive is against them to have too little ethanol though. The more ethanol the higher the octane.
