Going over with about a dozen other guys. Mostly cars, but a couple of bikes. Anyone else over there for that weekend? :grin:

Just a couple of mates from work, plus 'their' mates.

I went over in 2005. Towed the bike over on a trailer (even though it was road legal at the time my f******d up knee wonuldn't let me ride for more than half an hour at a time).

We did a day on Spa on the Saturday, then the Ring on the Sunday. It poured with rain all day on the Sunday, so I ducked the bike and took the tow car for a couple of laps instead. The tow car was my wife's 3 month old Diesel Clio, so a gentle introduction. :D

Forgive me if you already know this but go careful if you are taking the Supra. Noise limits are strictly enforced now (We're conducting tests at Snett on Wednesday if that helps)

Thanks for the tip-off Stuart.


I'd heard they are enforcing 95db, so I've ordered a baffle. The Sup was mesured at 98db at Cadwell last year. I don't thnk the baffle will be here for Wed's, but I'll probably come down anyway just to say hi. :)

What exhaust system do you have? I have a baffle from a 5zigen which also fits Blitz Nur specs so I am told.

We can usually get/borrow the noise testing equipment if you decide you want it retested at a later date.

It's a Kakimoto (sriously :D ) with a 114mm od tail pipe. The internal dia is 111mm, so if you've got a baffle that size I'd give it a try.
Failing that, I'll give it a try when the baffle arives through the post.
If that doesn't work I guess I'll have to refit the cat's and pack the baffle.
Bloody namby pamby Euro b******cks.

I had one of those Kakimoto racing ones on the GTR. Damned loud on boost (and off it thinking back)

I'll bring the bung along and you can have a try.
