Default Geisha and Jenk12M meet up for Surgery

Friday Giesha had a trip in store for her after surgery in my garage

Traqmate - check
Endless N035S pads - check
TCD tow hook - check
Rennline track mats - check
SRP pedals - check
Sharkwerks track exhaust - check

I had a chance to drive her around the block with the track exhaust......ummmm...loud. Below 3k there is drone you have to shift around. Above 4k it is so much better sounding than a bypass exhaust in my opinion, and not terribly louder.

Giesha will be spending the next few days in Tampa at C2 Design having a clubsport bar installed.....by the way the one I recieved from Mooty's friend is different than the one in my old car. It now has no holes in the center and provisions for two side bars.

Tows nicely on the Trailex.......last pick with Jenk car

Jenk's car is downright sexy, he better post pics when done

Pics for those that dont like to read

my thoughts exactly. did you have a chance to get her up by red-line?
then you will see that your precious Geisha is more like a female Samurai with a lot to say!

at highway cruising speeds, I usually shift up to 6th and the sounds are very managable. Ripping through the gears can be quite eye opening to the average motorist. I cannot deny that I have not dropped it a gear or two in order to make an audible red-line point while passing an otherwise inconsiderate left lane blocker as I finally get a pass....thank goodness that the doppler effect is in our favour

muffler shop 90 degree elbows with lengthwise cuts on the attachment end to facillitate slip on will hold on nicely with band clamps. just angle them down and away from the sound meter guys.
