downimpact Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I believe Whifbitz exhausts are quite quiet as well, yet to decide which to get myself. 102db limit's is pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 138db sounds very high, get yourself a proper sound meter from Maplin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downimpact Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 when we went to santapod and at llandow you were definately under 120, I would guess under 105 as well, so I'd check it again. You could take it to llandow and ask them to test, to ensure you can get it on track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedrosixfour Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 sweet man! that a through dash cage? Looks like a dash dodger to me, possibly a Cusco Safety 21. They are up to the task of keeping the roof off your head though, I have no doubt Littlenum is with us today because of his cage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jekyll Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 it was supposed to be a trough dash i even baught the air saw to chop my dassh up . but o offerdx it up today and it is the dash dodger it is the safty 21. question is, do i send it back and have to wait onothe 5 weeks or do i just get it on for this season and get a better one next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, next year, if you want to continue running the Supra you could probably strip the interior and get someone like Andy Robinson to build you a proper cage thats FIA complient and a structural part of the car, that way you can try out various forms of motorsport with the same car, TSS, Time Attack, Drift, Drag, a good cage is essential for all these. You'll sell this cage next year no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedrosixfour Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I'd prefer an arc welder to be honest. Far more versatile. Keep up the good work fellas, you are instilling me with motivation to stay late tonight and get something done with my own! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
