Very nice! Best looking wheels for the early classic. I've got the gold version on my 555

Love that! What are you planning on doing to it? Tell me turbo lump, uprated brakes, susp etc.......
As much as i would love to make this thing totally insane with turbos due to money being tight I'm just gonna restore it for now and hopefully have it ready for Japfest at CastleCombe, But due to it being a rare car finding parts even from main dealer is hard. At the moment its being prepped for body shop to fix dents and rust holes and then hopefully a respray....In bright yellow. :P

How was the noise? I considered doing a bit of a jaunt through Europe but wasn't sure if my ears were up to it.
What exhaust have you got on yours?I have an Afterburner Raptor with de-res centre section so while it is loud, it's not quite as loud as if I'd decatted it. I do a lot of motorway miles in mine (I know. The B roads are a joy after those) and it doesn't bother me in the slightest, I can drown it out. You could always plan it and take one of these in the boot http://www.scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog/product_info....
Just in case it does get too much. Quietens it down quite a lot.

For £30 I might buy one and see if it makes a difference, cheers. Will need to measure the exhaust tip but 4.5" is about right I reckon.

I'm not sure of the make, but it's de-catted as well which doesn't help on long runs (although the pops and bangs on the twisties more than make up for it).

If it doesn't say what it is on the side (Blitz Nur Spec R is what I'm thinking of at that kind of size) then it may be an Afteburner Raptor or Vortex like mine.For £30 I might buy one and see if it makes a difference, cheers. Will need to measure the exhaust tip but 4.5" is about right I reckon.
Does it have a "burnt" tip like this? http://www.scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog/images/afterb...
Anyway, doesn't really matter. If you ain't got a whole in the tip, you may need to drill one..
Other than the big hole that lets the gases out of course

No burnt tip, no. I'll measure the diameter in the morning and see. I presume there's other sizes available elsewhere.
Does it affect the airflow enough to make the car run like crap?
I'm sure there is, yeah.Does it affect the airflow enough to make the car run like crap?
I've not heard any bad experiences apart from on track where anything above 80 or 90mph it starts to feel choked. But hey, unless you're going to Germany that ain't too much of an issue.

But it's certainly an option for long stints, cheers for the suggestion (and sorry for spamming).
