Donington Classic 2015

Postby BigCatXJS » Sun May 03, 2015 5:48 pm

It drizzled for most of the afternoon yesterday, but we kept mostly warm courtesy of Jaguar Heritage who afforded complimentary catering all day and (most importantly) somewhere to warm-up and come out of the cold and wet (very grateful family!).

Meanwhile, I have been messing around with my budget bullet cameras and edited up some road footage and caught the JEC cars (sorry - no race footage!).

Rich,

I really like the sound of the exhausts off that rear camera!

Any pics, prices etc of the installation?

Thanks Paul. I would have captured some footage the previous week at the L2B had it not been so wet on the way down to Brighton :(

Anyways - the exhaust system is the AJ6 Engineering TT-Extractor system with the new twin tail rear boxes.

The pic below shows the main system;

Then the left box;

And right box;

Then the twin tails;

Price-wise the twin tails were £330+VAT for both boxes. I cant recall the pricing for the TT system - it'll be on their website no doubt...

Ah! They are a pair of Monoprice MHD Action Cameras purchased from Amazon last year. The cat is garaged-up until Eastern Day now, so I'll bag some pics then...
