My only claim to fame was to have the loudest wedge on the rusty nail 2, beat Hamish who is quietly getting ready for the BBWF with some special mods to his exhaust.

Still the slowest on the rolling road BBWF rolleyes (simonwedge i am after you this coming year)

Yes, that did sound superb.

I followed a dark coloured Chim through the Medway Tunnel too that was also making a rather splendid din! cool

I am not the quickest in spending my cash, but i did buy a recon airflow meter for the 400 not so long ago, only just changed my rotor arm and dissy cap, so ready for the rolling road, which is booked in for later this week. Hopefully i will see an improvement then shoot

As for the 350 its very nearly finished, just converted from manual to power rack, MOT, vic test. then i don't know what i am going to do with two ?

That is pretty loud as I was second with 128DB
and my 400 has a straight thru S/S sport exhaust
with only a 12" silencer near the fuel tank

Looks nice but a bit over priced, also noticed the seller has yet another company name.
plus I would never buy from him again.
