Have had the car at Verdi's for a new clutch and water pump and while it was there had a tubi installed as well.

Great job done by the guys there the engine bay looks brand new

Oh and the TUBI what a sound

All in time for Le Mans

Unfortunately I will not be there as it clashes with a friends stag weekend. Will be ther at the next one.

Did you get the house in France?

It's not completed yet. Buggers delayed a little so we don't complete until the 24th June. Next year....

Nice one Richard, big grins I would imagine.

I couldn't have taken a 360 without a TUBI being fitted and they sound the nuts...Had a 360 go past me at the weekend while I was on foot and it sounded as quiet as a mouse compared to ones with them on....totally transforms the car don't it..

Does anyone know why the sound/noise should vary on 360's with TUBI's fitted??

My one sounds completely different to two of mates 360's with TUBI's fitted and we all have the cats still in place

Big T.... and so why aren't you taking yours to Le Mans, I know that being a passenger is better than not going at all, but I'll guarantee that after the drive down, you'll be making plans to take it and drive yourself next year!

I understand that the sound mellows a little with miles.

Because......I don't wanna embarrass you on the way down by drowning the V12 out with my TUBI & cane the sh!t outta of your Diablo, that's why....

Nah, really, I weren't going but a kind sir said he had a ticket and said do I wanna be passenger so I agreed...anyway, I gotta come so I can take the pi$$ out of you and drink you under the table ....

Gonna be a laugh chap, not long now and just necked two bottles of French's finest Sancerre so am already on the road to Le Mans....couldn't do that if I was driving could I???

See you there Tone
