riekert's SX backfires phones!!! 😮 😂 . But very neat man, hows the difference in tone with the insert in versus out.

RRiekertadmin04 Oct 2009, 17:59

@ Bos - Thanx man! I try my best to keep it neat.

@ Reece - Hahaha! At least it was only a cellphone, and not a payphone!

and thanx! its much much quieter with the insert in. The tone is awesome without it though, but with it in its like a std car. which is good, especially if you drive around on a Sunday 😀

I had one of those inserts, I've used it like twice. I can't stand the power I loose while using it. Do u notice a big difference?

Not really but that's just because the the car isn't tuned yet. did feel a bit more sluggish though...

Hey guys... so with the trip to PE for the NDS I also picked up my Silvia parts from Mr Japspec. was in two minds about keeping the kit or selling it off again... and once I saw it i was convinced I'm gonna keep it. don't care if everyone says not to change it. 😛

It does need a bit of work, but shouldn't be too much to fix (hopefully).

and ja. then its just fitting and aligning evertthing. hopefully will have it sorted by end next month.

I've gotten time to take some pics of the Silvia parts.. here goes...

Looking good, only thing is the airflow to your radiator seems a bit small with the silvia grille. Might need bonnet vents :idea:, but then again its not realy less than the std S13 front.
Maybe I can do this ............ your front end for sale ??? 😀
