Quote from dynofiend :

The vast majority of the population, particularly those who are out of short trousers, would probably disagree.

I know whenever I hear and see a distinctly average car with a louder than necessary exhaust, I just get the feeling that the driver is trying too hard to get noticed. A bit like walking down the street and shouting at the top of your voice "Hey check me out, Im AWESOME, LOOK!!" and expecting it to impress people

Dont get me wrong, two of my first cars had non standard exhausts, but they were more about the quality of the sound than the quantity. The two are very different things.

Hey, im not bagging your choice of car, I happen to have a soft spot for the ridiculous opulance and affordability of the old IL's, even if they do handle like an oil tanker (and use roughly the same amount of fuel each day) but just dont expect the thinking population of the world to enojy having their ear drums assualted by a noise that anyone with a couple of $k, and a holesaw, could create themselves

Anyway, Im way OT now, so..., how about them Impreza sounds eh, not enough threads about those these days...

The quality (not quantity)of noise is for me, if I cared so much about others views (mainly non enthusiast) I would have bought a prius.

Besides, under 2.5k rpm it doesn't get a second look, sounds like any old v8 just putting along down the street which is quite common here.

Lol, drugs are drugs.
There was a time that I was anti drug, before comming to the decision to see what all the fuss is about.

Yeah drugs do things to your being, so does sugar.

I understand how some people are all "omg if you do drugs you're (insert you're own imaginative adjective)"
Because I use to share the same view
You're not going to die from trying some, you should do your own personal research rather than listen to media propaganda and use responsibly.


Also saying that a majority of people who are or have used drugs are poor/unfortunate people is a massive generalization.
I've witnessed and taken part in drug related activities with all kinds of people where or how they grew up has nothing to do with it.

Quote from dynofiend :

Over 100db would usually fail most trackday noise limits. And those are set higher to allow for people with modified cars. Anything over 100db is un necessary on a road car, and is only there to bolster the drivers ego (ie they want other people to look and notice them from the volume).

If you want your car to be louder, try routing the exhaust into the cabin. You might solve three problems in one go

Is James May your idol?

There is no track day restrictions here as far as noise goes.

I was 17 when I finished my Cortina I wanted it to be loud because I love the sound of a screaming modified engine



Beemer on the other hand, was far too quiet for a V8, I think now it is just the right amount of grunt, not over the top, cruises along with a nice v8 burble and sounds like a weapon above 5000rpm

I would have gone louder but it does not have the performance to back up the db


a majority of my previous cars have had standard exhausts systems yeah it's under the radar and all that but it's just to boring, you need to hear a car before you see it.

Quote from tristancliffe :

Any car modified to be 'stupidly loud' is slower, owned by a fool, and merely allows other people (and the police) to hear their low IQ arriving.

Both my cars are over 100db, I wouldn't call it "stupidly loud" but the police do, the 740 is 106db I just love the sound of a v8

The cortina on the other hand is a straight through system 124db, although being an old car it never gets negative comments (at least not to me) about the noise, legal limit here is 90db, which is pretty ridiculous imo

My most memorable trip experience was when me and two mates were tripping quite hard (4 tabs each) we came to what felt like a life changing decision that we should walk down the street and go buy something at the supermarket although we weren't exactly sure what.

We ventured out of the house each car passing on the adjacent street sounded like a howling animal drawing closer and closer as it passed it would melt into the ash felt causing the road to stream different colors as if next to me was a river of rainbow lava.
After covering the 300 meter distance in 45mins we all worked up the courage to cross the road, we stood there for approximately 15mins waiting for what we perceived as a big enough gap in traffic. we prepared our self's for the epic crossing and sprinted across the road, once I stepped foot on the other side a massive wave of accomplishment swept over me.

we turned to each other and none of us seemed to remember why we had ventured this far out into the wilderness. We discussed this for 15mins before coming to the realization that we were heading to the supermarket which was right in front of us.

We ventured inside to see a crying child
"oh no she's having a bad trip"
A friend said, I lol'd then I rofl'd it wasn't even that funny but I was laughing so hard I forgot what I was laughing at I looked up to see sober shoppers starring at me with baffled confused, I paused feeling as if I had just caused the universe to implode on it's self, I began to sweat and feel immense terror, the three of us then walked towards the isles, dodging and weaving between other sober shoppers as if they were an entirely different species to us.

Without thinking I took a different turn to my mates and lost them..

Then it all began, I found my self in the candy isle, it was terrifying, I was lost in a technological jungle full of subliminal advertising
"Get out of my head!"
I said to the sour drops

I can't leave here without buying something, I can't look like a thief, I have to blend in this these norms, my heart raced with adrenalin as I began to reach out to the sour drops,
"I..i can't do it"
I don't want the sour drops I want something else, I paced up and down the isle unable to come to a decision.

In a hurry I quickly ventured out of the vortex into the dairy section and grabbed some cheese. A wave of relief hit me, I could not stop smiling almost to the point of tears that I had found something I really wanted I slowly walked through the supermarket completely comfortable with the fact that the walls were melting, I lined up at the check out.

I reached into my pocket and pulled out a $10 note amazed at how such an insignificant object can be used to obtain other objects that have much more use. as I passed the girl the money, I smiled at her she smiled back, I pictured an imaginary 4th dimensional time line of our entire relationship and our two kids.

I noticed my friends waiting for me outside, I began to walk towards them, the automatic doors opened a new portal to a different world, I stepped foot outside feeling the wind of nature. I felt like Jesus. My friend turned to me.

Friend : Aaron..?
Me : Yes?
Friend : Why the f*ck did you buy cheese?

Funny how a 12 hour trip can revolve around a spider crawling across the dash.

What the NFS franchise really needs to do is bring out Underground 3.

I've had all NFS series from number 1 on original playstaion and in my opinion underground was the most fun, especially with the online ranking system taking out your fully pimped rx7, Skyline, S2000 with it's personalized features.

When they try to be all sim like it FAILS

I think, Underground 3, epic graphics and customization arcade/sim physics similar to that of shift (NOT PRO STEET)

Quote from ColeusRattus :

On LSD: I had to joy to work with a man who took LSD once, about 30 years ago. And still suffers from psychosis caused by it. So I wouldn't generally advise taking it.

There's some one around here who just walks the streets all the time supposedly took LSD 30 years ago and never fully recovered.

I've taken LSD 15 times, with one bad trip that was pretty terrifying, I felt a bit weird after wards too, until finally coming to the conclusion that the only way to get peace of mind with it was to take it again.



It's a very interesting thing LSD, to describe it would be to philosophically describe life it self.

LSD is only physiologically dangerous if you have some mental instability.
Not lethal until you dose over 5000 times equivalent of one hit


Maybe everyone should just smoke DMT which is a class A drug not on that chart.
How they can possibly outlaw DMT is beyond me seeing as your brain naturally produces it to make you dream every night.

Quote from spanks :

And? Sounds like you have succeeded lol.

Just fiddle with it until it is +/- a tenth.

Yeah but then it's a matter of grip, I would feel more satisfied if I had the power spot on, then I could adjust grip accordingly.

I have dyno test results and drivetrain information I just don't know the formulas to calculate the mechanical loss.

I used the +20% method and am getting acceleration accuracy within 0.1-0.3 seconds.
