mate, nice one, put a Dragon Performance silenced mid pipe and it will kill some of the noise, I have HKS super dragger which is very very load but with the above it makes is a tiny bit quieter ( if it wasn\'t for the neighbors I would not have bothered TBH)

just to say that they may not have it on their web site, you probably have to call them, it is not very expensive and it is their own brand

Quote from: MINTER;515103lol..have one already...a RE-Amemiya type1 diffuser(cant see it from those pics))..trying to figure out the "fishtailing "when on a quick launch???

A wing won\'t help until higher speeds, neither will a diffuser. Both are aerodynamic items and will make no difference from a standstill.
 
Not sure what you mean by \'fishtailing when on a quick launch\'? If you mean that the rear kind of squirms from left to right then i would say that is normal; its a limited-slip diff so will throw the power to the wheel with the most grip, which alternates between the wheels as you are putting too much power down and spinning them both. Bear in mind your car is probably 200-300 kilos lighter than the Skyline you had (depending on model and year).
 
If you mean axle tramp, which is the pogo-ing of the rear axle when you launch hard...it can be annoying. A diff brace is the answer but they are horrible things; they fill the car with all the whining and graunching of the diff and gearbox at work. I ran one for a year and have now taken it off as i got sick of it. Strangely, mine tramped when i got it but doesn\'t seem to much any more. A grippy road surface can make all the difference. Pip at WGT told me he had special diff mounts that stopped it without needing to change to a diff brace.
 
Watch yourself in the wet. People these days are spoilt with their ASC and their TSC and their fancy diffs. Cars drive themselves. RX-7s are light, handle well enough in the dry to be skittish in the wet, have too much power (in your case) and no electronics to lend a hand. It can go wrong very quickly.
