It reminds me a lot of a Bug Eye Sprite I wanted to buy a number of years back. Where can I touch one???

On 92db days, I've never had problems passing sound at Laguna, but on a 90db overcast day, I got dinged. Around town it's a bit loud, but it's a really nice sound and on track I find that it's not only beautiful-sounding, but it also makes it much easier to show students EXACTLY when you can start to roll on the throttle. It's an educational tool!! ;) Jonathan << From: Mark Dadgar <mark@pdc-racing.net I was a little surprised, too, but it does pass. Often intake noise is as big a problem as exhaust, but my JimC intake doesn't put me over the limit, either. >> _________________________________________________________________ Check out the coupons and bargains on MSN Offers! http://youroffers.msn.com

Date: Fri, 30 Apr 2004 12:56:10 EDT From: KResener@aol.com Subject: RE: Exhaust Recommendations Thanks to everyone for the responses! Tally is thus: Many, many votes for the UUC TSE. One vote for SuperSprint. One vote for Rogue. And two for Tri Flow. UUC is backordered for about ten days on the unit. Damn, and I wanted it for the Maifest car show next weekend! I've convinced myself that I absolutely need one before my first DE of the year in May at Putnam. Thanks to fellow Bluegrass CCA chapter member Dan Lowe for offering to let me drive his TSE equipped car to hear for myself. As Lexington is a bit far to do this without tipping my hand to my wife, maybe Dan can put the phone down by his exhaust and rev it up a la that Porsche Cayenne (sp) commercial...?? I'll investigate the others and report back what I do. Kurt

#5. Bridgestone RE-750 feedback? - from Steve Sharp
Top
Date: Fri, 30 Apr 2004 12:09:34 -0700 From: Steve Sharp <Steven.Sharp@xilinx.com> Subject: Bridgestone RE-750 feedback? I have had a set of Bridgestone RE-730's on my '97 M3 for about 2 years now and have been very pleased with them overall for a daily driver tire in the Northern California area where I live (lots of rain in the winter, but will NEVER see snow). Looks like the RE-750 is the replacement, so I wanted to see if anyone has had experience with them. I'll need new tires pretty soon and don't really need/want to spend the extra cash for S03 Pole Position or Pilot Sports. Thanks, Steve Sharp San Jose, CA

Road noise is minimal. I have yet to track but have been pleased with their overall performance and value so far. I had The Yoko ES100's and they were the worst tires I've had. Shel 1998 M3 2002 996
