Luxluc Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Cheers Phil. It did perform awesome. The screamer pipe made that the spectators (one point only allowed along the parking area for the cars that weren't on track)could here it over the complete track ... that's what I got told. I was very proud as it kept up with everthing else there (up to £150k modern sports cars). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 I have to get the front bumper respray'd next year ... following cars that run 888's isn't that good for the paint. I have at least 25 stone chips on the bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlukey Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Yeah, I get that issue following other bikes when I'm riding, as bike tyres are very sticky when warm and throw all the crap they find back at you. Makes you jump when a stone clouts your visor! lol. You should look into venture shield after you get your bumper re-sprayed. I use it on some of my road bikes and it's good stuff for preventing unwanted stone chips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phlukey Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Yeah that's it look. It's a very thin clear plastic film that protects your paint and isn't really visible once it's on...... http://www.3mventureshield.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phlukey Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 That's right Kaan, Porsche's have a triangular strip on the leading edge of the rear arch for protection as standard. 350Z's do too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right Kaan, Porsche's have a triangular strip on the leading edge of the rear arch for protection as standard. 350Z's do too. I'm gunno have to order some I think for the sake of seeing a faint outline it sure is better looking than hundreds of stone chips, is it easy to apply yourself?

Phlukey Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Yeah it's easy Kaan. Same as any vinyl application really. Just wet it down to enable you to get some movement until you're happy with positioning and then squeegee out any air bubbles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammer Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Great pictures, some very nice cars in there. Your Supra looks great. Looks massive for some reason, usually when stood next to modern cars the supra looks small but yours has real presents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a perfect day. really nice pictures of the Sup Luc, and the cars in attendance were Thanks mate Great pictures, some very nice cars in there. Your Supra looks great. Looks massive for some reason, usually when stood next to modern cars the supra looks small but yours has real presents. Thanks mate. A lot of people told me that : great road presence, impressive stance and best sound I also have to say that going from 19" to 18" rims made a huge improvement in traction and handling.
