You sir are a gent and not to far of our route up from london, we are going to come up monday night so would be passing around 8-8.30 dependant on traffic if that would be ok? I am going to get him to measure his external diameter know so not to waste anyones time! Once again thanks for the offer and fast response he was looking at losing over £200!!!!!

Tomorrow i'm off on a major TVR mission but thank you for the offer wink
I believe the weather should be good for you!
I'm still waiting on an external diameter size but should know later.
Have a great day.

Slightly off topic. How did noise limits come about? Have track days always had these in place?

Part of the fun is noise.

Im not sure my Tuscan will pass, and am planning to do brands hatch.

As a by product of the stty nanny state we live in, where basically if your having a bit of fun some sad git gets the hump and complains argue
I can understand in built up areas but take Snetterton for example theres nothing but rape-seed oil fields and the odd grazing pasture for miles around!
I've actually stopped at different distances on a Britcar race day and tried to see how the sound carried? could hear diddly st once out the circuit!
No doubt someone will come along now telling me how there afternoon are ruined and there cattle won't milk blabla

Well that's what I thought. At brands apart from real special cars doing demonstrations the sound doesn't carry massively far.

Seems ridiculous. You buy a car and want to enjoy the speed responsibly but can be told your too loud. You go to your local super market car park and some derilict rice rocket is putting out serious volume plus using the road as a track.

Rant over but tracks should give the noise limit bs a rest. You don't live near brands if your not expecting some noise.

Hi I am near bedford and have a set, but they are for the SP system which are quite a bit bigger diameter. You are welcome to give them a go if you want.
