Got my Nitron dampers fitted on Friday. I forgot take pics of the dampers on the car, I’ll do that next time I have the wheels off. When I had the dampers made I wanted to have the canisters mounted under the bonnet and in the boot area, I know from our RX7 and Steve/Ben’s […]

New 4″ 3 box quiet exhaust, cant believe how quiet it is now, no more noise worries at any race track now, it sounds like a milk float. Seriously I reckon its about 93db on idle, haven’t tried it down the road yet. Quite a size that rear box though isn’t it! Also the wastegate […]

Hopefully my measurements were correct! Going to be running 2 Walbro’s in tank which are already there and then another […]

Steve Linton and I have just ordered our Racepak IQ3 dashes, these really are the nuts having used one in the RX7 last year, highly recommend them. Cant wait to get it fitted in our cars, it’ll be a great tool for us as drivers to as we’ll be able to overlay information on braking […]
