    may be a meet in two weeks time then, ive enquired about powerflows at top gear in aylesbury, saw the lads over there to see if a centre box could be fitted, they said no way , no room. i thought the rover 75 v8 had a centre box or are the rear boxes baffled to hell. i wasnt convinced there boxes would make that much of a difference,one of the guys had a ford f150 pick up with a 5.7 chevy in it with just a side exit single box, and my god he could not believe it when my car demolished his on the sound of the exhaust

    another option maybe to revert to standard quiet boxes and add the electronic trick exhaust valve that vents straight out at the touch of a button. Means chopping a small section out of the exhaust though so there's no going back (unless you also get a spare exhaust section)

    If you mean 25/26 June, then I can do the Sunday only. Don't let me stop you if there's someone else with Zeros available, though.

    So it is! Do the 260s have an 'area' for that? I'm thinking it might be quite hard to get all the cars in one place if not.

    parking in the V8 Register is an option, along with our SV / SVR cousins and RV8 / BGT V8's

    BTW I have unmodified Zeros, so they're a little boomy but I find it pretty easy to drive around; certainly doesn't bother me enough to take it all the way to Kent to have it fixed!

    Maybe the Gbox is smaller on the 75V8 and there is more room for a centre box?

    Doesn't Phil Evans have an additional silencing box on his (I'm sure he said he did at Combe)

    probably easier and cheaper to change to Powerflow / Zero's though
