lambo-27 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Love this! So what all have you done to the exhaust now? Just cut baffles out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadmetal Posted October 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Well, most of the baffles. Didn't want it too loud, so a couple of the pipes inside got shortend and the top baffle taken out and the middle one had a large hole punched into it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joti Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 (edited) RotasSo what's with the "fake wheels saved me money" bit then?You own Rota Flashbacks and so long as you don't pretend that they are Equip 03's, what's fake about them?? They not called Equip 03 Reps, so I don't see why you refer them as fake, just because they may have a passing resemblance.....

Much like how Grids are a rep of the TE37..I'm not dissing Rota's as I'm getting some but they are very well known for being replica wheels.

Deadmetal Posted December 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 It's a pisstake on how people get all wound up about rotas and other reps.I know the difference between fakes and reps.Give it time and I'll have the "real" wheels anyway.

Joti Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 (edited) Give it time and I'll have the "real" wheels anyway.Hey, your money but that seems daft to me...... - spend again to get exactly the same look for the sake of a brand?!

Deadmetal Posted December 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Not the same look.If rota did 8j low offset flashbacks, I'd be all over them8jet20 out back and 7jet25 on the font.Plus, the Works won't deprecate anything like the Rotas.
