Actually thinking about it the blown yank tanks at the drag day I went to last year,
although I can't say how much was exhaust and how much was brutal engine noise,
I do know my f*cking ear drums nearly exploded!
Is it classed as an exhaust if it's just a set of headers sticking out the side?
(Wolverhampton Renault) Adam's decatted Yozza on his 182,
at a rolling road day it vibrated the windows of the place so much I thought they were going to shatter.
Also you couldn't stand in there when it on it's run,
those of us that did ended up with Tinnitus for a while. lol
I knew it wouldn't be yours you drive quite normally,
unless you're trying to keep up with the Dog Kennel that is,
then you have no choice but to hoon it. :evil:
Have you still got the standard wheels?
Could make a few quid out of those 1.2s in the for sale section,
even if you don't i'm sure someone would be willing to swap for standards and a bit of money your way.
A guy I know traded his 182 cup in against a new R27,
his cup was remapped, had a Milltek exhaust and Sparco seats,
the dealer said he would have preferred it standard,
but it didn't affect it's trade in value.
Oh yeah forgot about that, his standard cup was quicker than the 200,
but miraculously in the final cut it was slower.
Although if your TV show made their new flagship model look slower than an older model,
Renault would probably be reluctant to lend you any more cars.
I think i'd rather just have straight up racing than handicap/bracket races,
last time I beat a few faster cars because my launches and changes were better,
drag racing isn't all about power, the underdogs can stick it to better cars on occasion.
The Dog Kennel.
Because my dog's been in it almost as many times as I have,
and the inside is permanently covered in dog hair and mud.
Nicknames are fine, female names are bent.
