Haha....just coincidence...yeah, thats it, hehe. But on a serious note.....how do you guys stand the noise from the exhaust.....I found it way too loud.....maybe its just the midpipe, exhaust combo?

Exhaust can never be too loud. Just ask the guys what the Scarboro race car sounded like as it climbed the hill after corner 2.

Think I need something between the combo and just the midpipe.....maybe I will make a custom exhaust ( single sided ) with a resonator and tail silencer to see what that comes out like?......new project...sweet!

I'm just going to have MS CAI and MS Exhaust on the car without any mods to the midpipe or cat... it should be alright not too loud/ricey.

Yes I am wild!

So how was the lapping? Did you get many laps in? How fast were you guys hitting on the straight? Was there any passing?

Fun
I didn't count
Al was using the straight to regroup everyone so max I hit was < 150 kph
No passing
I was near the back with a bunch of RX-7s in front of me. Those things just can't corner

If it weren't for that damn Speed6, we would have been lapping much quicker.

Regardless, it was a good bit of exercise for the FD.

Like I said before, sedans towards the rear! lol

Nice vid. I can barely make out who was behind who.

Regardless, it was a great time. Hats off to those who helped make this possible!
