    Nah afraid not bud, we've got a lot of driving to do in the week and next weekend for Cadwell too Was only £54 for a night, why don't you take a look at staying there as well? Saves getting up at silly o clock and can have a few drinks the night before

    Sprintex 210 Intercooled Supercharger

    260 is about the highest it will achieve with a full exhaust system. I had 254 on mine

    3" exhaust questions

    I think it's time to bite the bullet and except the fact I need a 3" system with the new charger in place After a bit of advice from Tarmac Sportz and Mark at Abbey, we don't think my current setup below will hack it: Borla UEL manifoldCobra overpipeBerk high flow catInvidia Q300 catback Our main points for concern at the HFC and the Invidia catback. I've seen HFC's blown out on turbo and charged 350z's in the past so it stands to reason that this may also be an issue on my 86. The Invidia's backbox will be fairly restrictive and we probably need to look at a more free-flowing design to get the most out of the engine now. I know very few people on here have 3" systems, but what do you have and what has been your experience? The only systems I know of are the Perrin and the Avo. Not really a fan of the look of either which I know isn't really the point but I want something that looks and sounds good obviously, as well as having the function. Mark informed me that a 3" overpipe is possible. Apparently Cosworth have something? I've also seen the Full Blown kit on the American forum, looks like a nice piece of kit and has a 3" overpipe, front pipe and catback I want to still keep my manifold UEL. I know this will lose me some horses but the Scooby burble is just too addictive to go to EL. Are there any UEL manifolds out there with a larger bore than the Borla I currently have? Thanks in advance!

    3" exhaust questions

    H&S were my 1st choice but I've had a few people tell me of issues with their welding recently...

    Smudge's supercharged V8 build

    Today was a good day My Ultimate Racing 3" catback exhaust arrived and was fitted in just over an hour. Bit fiddly for one pair of hands and no ramp, but fairly simple nonetheless Packaged very well, coming from Canada, shipped into the USA and then into the UK And all unpacked ready to be fitted Ideally would have like the tips to be part of the back boxes rather than clamping on, but I can get that done at a later date. Quality is top notch on this system - welds are nice, neat and smooth and the colouring on the titanium tips is beautiful I forgot how heavy the stock catback is. When I took off the last hanger I nearly dropped the whole thing on top of me! Lifting the new system into place was a breeze by comparison given it's lightweight construction This is a full 3" system with a resonator in place to keep noise and drone down Thanks to Chris @Tarmac Sportz for getting this system at a great price as usual Upon first start up, it's LOUD. I'll need the rest of the system to have at least another resonator and maybe another high-flow cat to keep the noise down. But I think when it comes to track time I may need some bungs or something It sounds so much more like a Scooby Impreza now with the larger bore piping. Can't wait to finish the system off and have it all complete

    3" exhaust questions

    Gave them a ring, they "don't really do manifolds"...not encouraging! They pointed me towards JP exhausts in Macclesfield. Bit of a trip but I've heard their name being mentioned a few times on here and from other exhaust places so might as well get in touch

    You say EMP like I should know who they are? Any links or info please bud?
  21. Some Japan Racing wheels would be ideal winters. I've just put my JR11's on and they look great but the price means I don't mind if they get a bit of abuse during winter
  22. Tarmac Sportz can source pretty much anything. Give Chris a shout with what you're looking for
