Precisely, that's why I say it's a " scam " !! Basically you book through Great Experience Days who then book the experience itself via Drivers Dream Day who then book the track and bring along the cars. "GED" owes "DDD" over £50k in unpaid bookings and thus when you arrive for the event "DDD" can't let you go on it because you technically haven't paid ! "DDD" have tried to contact as many people as they know about to tell them that "GED" have gone into Administration but I was unfortunately not on the list ! If you try calling "GED" you will get a message which says something along the lines of, " we are experiencing a few technical difficulties due to unforeseen circumstances. " Unforeseen my arse, bunch of wan*ers is what I say !

Over a year ago my lovely girlfriend paid £400 for a Ferrari / Rally track day via " Great Experience Days ". Yesterday we drove from Bristol to Bruntingthorpe, stayed overnight then went to the track. We were then given a letter which explained that " Great Experience Days " had now been put into Administration and unless I had paid by credit card ( which we hadn't ) I would lose the lot !! We paid £400 for the experience, £50 petrol, £55 accomodation, £40 food, day off work and will get nothing for it apart from feeling knackered, thoroughly pi**ed off and the car covered in crap from motorway driving in the rain !! If you have anything booked through this company for god sake ring the track beforehand

Thanks everyone, I'll do some pumping later today

My current tyre sizes are 235/35/19 front and 265/30/19 rear. I've read a few previous threads and people seem to recommend 36 psi front and 34 psi for the rear. I've also heard of 36 front and 42 rear ?? Can someone please give me your professional advice !!

Thanks for all the responses and I also over-did-it on the sanding so muffler rattling is also annoying ! I've spoken to the bird and her friend is a local 'plodess' and she said that traffic cops can't do jack. Not meaning to sound in anyway camp, but during the normal trundle to work in the morning with the muffler out it does give you ear-ache every morning ! I think I'll continue with the Nova sound during the week then break the sound barrier at weekends

Hello everyone, Just got the RSR and full de-cat on my NA and with the muffler removed the sound is amazing and extremely loud ! Unfortunately on the way to work yesterday I was pulled over by a " friendly " policeman who had a quiet word about the noise polution !! To avoid this I decided to put the muffler on today and to be honest it sounds sh*ite ! Just over 2000 rpm instead of a deep rumble my car sounds like a Vauxhall Nova ! Is there anything else I can do / can I purchase a different muffler / can I do anything to the existing muffler ??
-
Once you floor the baby the sound just gets better and better, I thought the stereo may attract attention but without a doubt, whoever who you drive by you'll get a glance if nothing more than to say, " what the f*uck, my child has now gone deaf ! "

oh my god, my ears are bleeding !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a sound, started it up in the garage and couldn't even hear each other talk ! At idle it's a nice rumble then at roughly 2000 rpm your ears start to bleed, once you get past 3000 rpm the sound is as sweet as a TVR ...... I tried putting the muffler in so as not to completely p*ss off the neighbours, and after a bit of sanding to make removal easier it did reduce the ear-bleeding rumble, but then the bloody thing rattled slightly when the revs dropped - ah well, sod it, I tried my best but the muffler had to go Tomorrow morning I'll make a swift get away with "MANU" on so 2nd gear won't annoy the neighbours too much. ( I'm just so damn considerate ! ) Once I get on the main road however, beware small children and little old ladies cos the RSR is coming to get you

The car is currently at the garage getting the RSR and full de-cat fitted - luckily they have given me a lovely white G-Reg Cavalier SRI, 400k on the clock and rusty as f*ck !! Anyway, they were kind enough to give me this whilst the Supe gets an exhuast it deserves. I'll post a new reply once it's fitted
-
I will shortly be getting an RSR fitted included both de-cat pipes and most likely taking the muffler out - it's going on a NA so from previous threads loud is probably not the word for it ! In general it would depend on the backbox you have, Blitz NUR Spec R are popular but the RSR is the " daddy " when it comes to annoying the neighbours and setting off car alarms; can't wait
-
Thanks for the replies and I can comment as follows :- 1. Fortunately I don't suffer from fat bas*ard syndrome so that rules that one out ! 2. I'll have a word with my local garage when they fit the RSR and de-cat pipes - to be honest though, once the exhaust is fitted I doubt I'll hear any squeak ever again !!
-
Apologies but I can't do Saturday 14th now cos I've got to go to bloody Manchester for work !! Tried my best to get out of it but I've got no choice .... gutted
-
A few months ago I started a thread about an offside creak at low speed - after lots of replies I took the car to Toyota who tightened up every bolt under the car as suggested ..... still the creak continued ..... As a last resort I bought some new KYB front shocks and at last the creak disappeared I was so happy ..... 1 month later and the bloody creak is back again !! How can this be, it was definitely the front shock, but why would it re-occur ?? Please help, it's doing my head in

I've got an RSR and full-decat pipes on the way from Paul E and their going onto an NA - baffle free should be quite amusing for the neighbours
-
Card and stickers for me please
-
Thanks Nick, the de-cat pipes are 2.5" so shouldn't be any problems on a NA.
-
I've got an RSR on the way and full de-cat pipes so I'll let everyone know if I feel any true performance difference on the NA once they arrive and are fitted.
-
I am going for a full de-CAT on a NA - I assume I won't need a restrictor ring or anything along these lines to prevent any damage to my baby ???
-
I have just blown £850 on an RSR GTII and full de-CAT pipes for my beloved NA ( not that the girlfriend knows how much it all costs ! ). Can anyone offer any advice on the following :- 1. How easy will this be to fit - any top tips / advice to give to my local garage ? 2. Is there anything else I need to be aware of going "CAT-free" apart from the obvious omissions issue ? 3. Anyone got any idea of the BHP gains ? ( I have been told roughly 15 BHP extra ? ) Regards and can't wait to annoy the neighbours !
-
I have a RSR waiting for delivery from Paul E and I was also thinking of getting the decat pipes for my J-Spec NA. If I were only to replace 1 CAT which would be the best in terms of performance, or would it make no difference as there's still 1 CAT left restricting the power ?
-
Thanks for the advice Ed, I'll give it a go once the RSR it fitted and we eventually get a dry day !!!
-
Some of you may think door graphics are sad, others may approve, in any event I have just got some and need some advice from anyone who has fitted these themselves. ( by door graphics I mean HKS, RSR stickers etc as opposed to full-on Fast & Furious ones ! ) Anyway, the stickers came in a complete strip and I also ordered a clear waterproof sheet which is meant to stop them being damaged by cleaning, rain, snow etc ... Once I put the main stickers on the door and peel off the front sheet the stickers will look like they are individally stuck on, but I am reluctant to then place the waterproof sheet over them as I would have thought this would look odd as surely you would still see the overall outline of this waterproof sheet. I expect I am boring most people now but has anyone used the waterproof sheet before, or have you simply stuck the actual stickers on without it. ( + any other top tips for ensuring they go on straight ! )
-
I think that about answers my question so thanks for the quick response guys. I'll let you know how it sounds once delivered & fitted !
-
I will shortly be getting an RSR GTII and my local garage who don't exactly specialise in Supra's will be fitting it - is this a simple job as I've heard it's a direct bolt on which should only take upto 30 minutes; will I need any additional mounting bits and pieces ? Secondly, is the baffle easy to remove once the exhaust is on or is it best to remove it prior to fitting ? Let me have your technical thoughts ..... Cheers

Whatever you do don't buy EBC Greenstuff - got these on the front of mine and after one day of driving you'll be presented with grey brake dust alloys !! The thing is that they advertise these as only giving minimal brake dust - I assume they mean on the assumption you don't use the brakes and put your foot out the door to slow down !!
