I heard from Tom via text. His normal way was supply Birkin kits through Seattle but that was pre-tariff days. I can share contacts via PM but honestly, your better bet will be contact GBS or Caterham and see if they can supply Canada direct out of UK to avoid the US tariff situation.

That is sad to hear about Terry. He was an active enthusiast. That has to be hard on him at this time. I just pinged Tom at Birkin. Its not defunct but I bet he is in tariff hell like everyone else right now. That is likely to make any kit sale to Canada uneconomic - despite them being on the shelf in inventory. Their model was to supply Canada with kits from US inventory (and yes they have inventory - I have seen it in person). GBS have a good, well regarded product. I would check with them to see if they are able to sell into Canada from a location outside the US to avoid the tariffs. I think their business model was the same approach as Birkin - supply Canada from the USA. Used to be a great idea but then.....

The thing with noise is that it depends on how (static or on track drive by) and where they measure it plus the decibelometer they use. If you have standard 420R intake then with the Caterham twin muffler track set up, my UK 420R consistently runs 90db so I can use it on 92db noise restricted tracks in the UK and Europe. I have the cat bypass set up for this noise reading. However at Goodwood I was struggling to get it under 92db. They describe their system as "thorough'. I used another two words that day to describe it. The use of a cat pipe knocks a couple of decibels and probably 5hp off that. Plus the fact is that you will use it up pretty quickly on track - so it is an expensive noise reduction technique. Cat converters are very expensive animals these days. If you add the roller barrel intake setup then that adds an extra 5-10db of noise (depends on track and mic placement). Most Caterhams in the UK then use air boxes or the like to encase the intake to limit the noise and pass the 92db noise tests or just limit themselves to 95db tracks. The intake is a real source of noise if you have to pass a track sound limit. Fortunately most US tracks do present us with that issue.

Most Ferrari drivers suffer from this. Many se7en drivers too!

Given I am a competent driver I don’t see a problem with this gated shifter. On the other hand, I have the empathy to understand why you may feel scared by this item in your car.

Welcome to USA7s. I could do with being in Key West holding a cold drink, right about now. You are in a nice spot in the world. Enjoy driving your Rotus.

Here's the collected links page of suppliers that I add to as people talk about them supporting our cars.

Damn Steve - you look so young standing next to your orange car. How much plastic bondo did you have recently? Or were you drunk again and standing next to Roman's car in confusion?

It is but I would never describe you as tickety-boo. I could use many other words....

race rack.

Or two RM 8s sitting side by side. Seller is on here if you want to ping him with questions. @w650gb500 Dan- tell us about it.

The PVGP does give me pause. Hope everyone took it a little easy and treated it like parade laps rather than full on competition.

@yellowss7 Nice cameo appearance!
