Darragh Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Ill add myself to the list next year as I've been planning on making the supra into a road legal drift car but have been talking about it the last two years, with a bit off luck it'll all come together this winter so ill be doing track days and drift days no problems Ps there is a track at Bishopscourt co down Northern Ireland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 (edited) The last track day I did someone span his Zeus ! I've spun a lot more things since then. Usually I keep them out of the barriers, but sometimes not If you don't have the odd spin you aren't really trying hard enough Was that REALLY 2007? How time flies!

Chris Wilson Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 For anyone with a silencer system much louder than stock Bedford is probably a none starter. Good circuit, VERY intolerant of any loud cars. If you are serious about taking your Supra on track you NEED a Tanabe Medallion Touring or very similar. Ill conceived add ons, ultra restrictive baffles in the tail pipe (which can kill your engine in a single lap due to the huge back pressure raising EGT's to insane levels), and other kludges are a guaranteed way to ruin your day, or even kill someone when the "thing" nailed on as a temporary fix falls off and goes through someone's screen or visor. On a rough scale I would say 95% of Supras I see here would NOT pass a track day noise test. Most of the really quick Supras I see probably would, as they are well enough built to make the owner WANT and to be ABLE to use the performance properly, on a track, for extended periods. Not just for a flash of throttle on a drag strip or up the dual carriageway for a mile, anxiously watching in the mirror Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubbyTwo Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Chris, do you thing that a stock TT exhaust with double decat pipes would pass a noise test? Im not a fan of bungs after using one on my MR2 turbo, the EGTs shot up dramatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 A stock, but cat less system should pass noise tests, yes. It's no good people whining a quiet exhaust saps power, if you want to do track days you need a quiet system. Period. The Tanabe is excellent and will meet 90% of noise restrictions, even cat less. It also flows well for a quiet system. If a silencer does not have baffles, but it s a straight through silencer with just a perforated inner tube with sound absorbent material around it, it almost certainly will NOT pass track day noise tests at proper UK race circuits. I cannot count the number of "event full" track days I have just tipped up at, stood in the paddock and known with CERTAINTY a certain car will fail the noise test and be going home without even venturing onto the circuit, as it's driven off the trailer. The noise man at Oulton calls me "The Vulture". Never failed to get an entry on the day as several boy racers lose their £200 or whatever quid entry fee, travelling costs, blah blah due to some daft drain pipe exhaust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually I keep them out of the barriers, but sometimes not If you don't have the odd spin you aren't really trying hard enough If you ever need an extra pit crew Chris, let me know and I'll bring along my precision set of hammers I'd really like to get the MR2 onto Oulton Park at some point, need to source a set of stock wheels and get the extra silencer welded into the exhaust first though.

SteveR Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 The Tanabe is excellent and will meet 90% of noise restrictions, even cat less. It also flows well for a quiet system. I have this exhaust, it's perfect for track days and saps no power (I had a pre- and post- exhaust change map check by Ryan, and as part of the change I had the wastegate piped back into the exhaust, too.) I'd really like to get the MR2 onto Oulton Park at some point, need to source a set of stock wheels and get the extra silencer welded into the exhaust first though. Hey Nic, didn't realise you were back in the UK! Maybe we'll meet on a track someday - got any details & photos of your MR2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you ever get up to Oulton Park? it's quite local to me. It's 3 hours from me but me and two mates all have (almost ready) race MR2s and we're hoping to get together at Oulton sometime before the year is out as it's local to one of the three.

downimpact Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 My tanabe read a suprising 92 db at recent noise test with no cats. Seems about as loud as stock exhaust with cats, so I was suprised at the high reading on 3/4 redline. Also with the exhaust it hits somewhere between 1 and 1.1 bar of boost on stock tubbies.

Finally back in a Supra so no doubt I'll see you soon when servicing due. Do you still have the Zeus then?

Chris Wilson Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I still have the two Zeus sports prototypes, and the F3000, and the Skyline. None of which have turned a wheel in twelve months though Just not had many track day urges this last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
