Good point, helmet will help. Are you local to the track?

That's fair enough, thanks. Or my hearing!!

Cool, you would have thought a few cars would be a lot quieter than jets taking off!! Excelent, can you notice a difference with them out? May stick some ear plugs in the cubby just in case!!

Hi, thanks for that. TBH, I think I'd need ear plugs if I was driving it without the bungs! Tried it for about a mile or out of curiosity and stopped to put them back in! Looking to go to an open pit lane session @ RAF Cottesmore. Hopefully not too challenging for my first go and has plenty of run off space!

Just wondering if any one can help?! Looking in to track days at the moment, but there is a 105db noise limit. I'm running a K1 exhaust with bungs in. Any ideas as to whether I'll be under this limit? If not, where can I get a cheep meter from? Cheers Jacko

Can't beat the simlpe one liners! Quite a fan of Jimmy Carr I must admit. Contemplating a trip to Cardiff this weekend to see him!

Loving the visor, and the lights on the roll bar, looks great. Unfortunately I had a 4 Life, so not quite a fancy, but black over sil ver was a good look. Did the Warrior have rear diff lock, the Animal's apparently didn't. Dodge Ram, awsome! But that doesn't do many to the gallon!! Like wise in the snow, my route to work was blocked, so a 5 mile diversion through the snow and green lanes was good fun! Did almost get stuck in a bog once too, eventually rocked it out only to find I had a puncture, interesting changing that in a muddy lane! Have seen a Vid of the Hilux having handling issues on You Tube, not know if it's fixed, but up on two wheels looks a little interesting!!

Thinl most people have covered your arguemant for you, but thought I'd give you some insite to the L200. I had one as a company car a few years back, 53 plate one. Loved it, loved driving it, even though it wasn't very quick off the line, but it cruised well. Also, very practical, especially if you had a decent box on the back. Great fun on the odd snow day and muddy green lane too!! Down sides, the engine blew up, or rather a con rod broke and made a nice hole in the side of the engine! This also happened to my bosses one! Fortunately they were both covered under warenty. The turbo on mine was also a little tempermental and the one strapped to the new engine was noticably better. Servicing costs a bomb, especially at Mitzy, up to £700 for a major!! Still, I know this is a company vehicle and you don't have to pay for any of this, but my company decided to get rid of them as they cost too much to run and maintain and after their warranty period would cost an arm and a leg to repair! I'd like to think the new ones are better and more reliable. I do know our director has had two Navaras in the past 8 years and nothing major has gone wrong with those, the second one was basiaclly a new upgrade!! Navara v L200 v HiLux???

That vid' is awesome!! Great skills and confidence!!

Just Pmed you Kite 350.

Welcome. Good choice for an upgrade.

Big fan of the Interceptor and the noise it makes! Also think this is a pretty cool old school car.

Glad nothing serious came of it.

Great sequence of pics! I was expecting some cool finished job as I scrolled down! I did find it amusing, but I can't see myself doing any better! Love the fact you tried and has spurred me on to try and do mine. Whats the worst that can happen?!

Great driving skills, but a little too ott on the effects etc. I must admit he looks pretty laid back in there, makin git look so easy!!

Cheers Neil, I'll have a search for that, sounds easier than bending!! My stock one was pretty level, but the K1 I'd noticeably different, probably 15mm out!

The buddy club will wake up your neighbours from 2 miles away without the bungs. The scorpion is pretty loud when beasted and silent on long journeys. The k1 with bungs in sounds perfect IMO but t's just a shame it looks so shite and has fitment issues. I have a K1 and unfortunately the bungs don't make it look great. Must admit, tempted to paint them black! Or mounth them further in?! It sounds good when accelerating and isn't too bad on long journeys. I didn't have any problems fitting it, in fact the hard part was getting the old one off! Only problem is one side is higher than the other! Still, when I get time, I'm sure I can bent the exhausts bracket a little to level them up.

Awsome, thanks. I'll have to look in to that, sounds like a good day. Cheers Jacko

I could be tempted, how much is it? I'm never been on a track either, but it would be nice to get a feel for the Zed without breaking a list of trafic laws! Problem is, I can see a new set of rears being required afterawards. Getting a little low.

Hi Dave, Good to meet you at the weekend before I had to dash off. I hope you enjoyed the rest of the day. Had a quick look at you Zed on my lap around the site, very nice, don't see many around in that color. Jacko

Horrific and the convex shave isn't doing him any favours! Pretty glad the pic is tiny in my phone!!

Hi, thanks, I'll have a search on eBay when I het home later. Be handy to have a manual, there's bound to be a million and one other things I want to look up. Not heard of Dynmax but sounds like a good idea. I must admit, I was thinking of doing the inside of the arches etc in some sort of sealant one I get my 5p rust bubble on the arch fixed! Must admit I'd like to keep the ally/stainless shiny part shiny!! Cheers, same as yours?? Cheers Jacko

I popped in a K&N panel filter. Definitely better than OEM on and improved the induction note too. But this may lead you to the Apexi one, link from rtbiscuit http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/filters_test/2/

Hi ChrisB, Cheers for the info, most appreciated. Feel free to chip away! May have to see if I can get a copy of that, would be useful to have. Sorry, I should have said this is a UK spec car, hence the fins on the diff. (I guess!) I'll have to have a closer look at some point to see if the retaining bolts connect to anything crucial! And if it is a stand alone item. Yes, need to get them treated before they get worse!!
