We were only on the track for a lap .
Slow parade around then speeding down the straight one after another.
AC blaring until my moment!

At least having a gen 3 you have a working AC system. It's one of the reasons I bought the later model even though I pull my tops off on most trips.

Hope you didn't pay much for that B-pipe, considering a straight pipe to replace a cat would cost like 50 bucks =/

Not $50 but not too much, they are very popular in the states and I had to buy and ship a new valve cover anyway .
And it's a label!

You really think $50 custom made all the way from the muffler to downpipe?
Surprised more don't do it if that is the case.
