cannon muffler appeal has been destroyed by many a ricer in a excel or lancer. but they do look good it done properly. there is a hot white S15 living around the corner from me, and it has a carbon fibre cannon polised ends. the black cf on a white car looks hot. and the turbo exhaust note is sex.

cannons should only be used on what they were designed for; turbo'd cars. Cannon on a N/A car is just a big ass fart in a milo tin, unless you put in a decent resonator to drone out the noise...

im now going to fart in a milo tin and compare it to my mates n/a cannon exhaust. ill record it on y phone too bet my mate will think i had the exhaust done. funny note, my bg has a thumb sized hole on the inside edge of a bend and its sounds better then most cars with cannons, i kid you not, cept now i think the hole might be bigger so it just sounds like blowing air down a paper roll tube.

As I said before, I didn't even know cannons were those huge bumble-bee crapper things hanging off rear ends. I HATE THEM already!
right now i'm afraid for anyone around you and your car. i assume you're not actually doing any work on the car yourself if you didnt know what a cannon was? if you need it clarified further, walk on down to supercheap/autobarn and ask them to show you the 'biggest fully sik cannon' they have.

i'm not gonna bag cannons, yeah they're over done on crappy cars (i've seen stock toyota camary's with them ffs) but they can look and sound like sex on a turbo/high flow n/a. they have their place, but your little sisters grocery getter is not it

I saw a thread on here or maby OMC about the coloured tape you buy for you wheels? The rim around the outside.
Anybody know what this is called or where you can buy it?
Thanks

Sorry, I read the whole post and only had these key parts running through my head... so I thought I'd make your post a bit more concise.

on your topic though, I kinda like starlet turbos they amuse me and i think they are kinda cool (but i like daihatsu mira's ... so go figure) pity it was an auto though.

you should be able to pull the dials out altogether (this is going of my bg cluster) where i can pull out the tacho, the speedo/odo,and the clock/fuel level
