If so,

Due to the Post Bedford Disccusion Thread, it occured to me that it's a little inconsistent whether or not your car would pass their noise tests. I presume in reality this is not the case and if people could post up their car details, it might help us work out what would pass and what would fail?

So how about, what car (model year, type (e.g. WRX/STi etc.), mods (be honest ), if you know any of the tested noise results (static/1st drive by/2nd drive by etc.) and if you've been to Bedford before and the car details then also. Obviously, also whether or not you passed or failed (or passed and then failed ).

To kick it off:

1. Me. MY00UK PPP BB - March - Passed
2. Puff. MY98-99UK Full PPP - Saturday & Last November - Passed
3. Standard Westfield XTR2 - Failed (Static), Failed, Passed, Failed
4. STi 5 RA, running 1.2bar Boost/HKS Headers/SSDP/Magnex mid(non res)/SS BB (340ish bhp) - Last August - Passed

Ta,

Matt

STi V STD spec but with Scoobysport exhaust system (std up-pipes).

Passed before @ Bedford, and curiously on the static and drive by that day. Black flagged later and sent home. Still grumbling and waiting to see if I get recompensed - its been 6 days after all..

Thanks guys,

Keep it going. Neanderthal, TonyG and Gossy, can I assume that your cars are the UK models?

Puff, you know what I meant. Was the CTR guy one of your lot?

Arron, do you know what spec Steve's R34 is?

Ta,

Matt

Off the top of my head you are a UK STi 7, full Scoobysport exhaust (with or without up-pipe?), APS induction, Unichip and APS Turbo?

I've attended in the following:

MY99 with PPP
MY01 with Prodrive BB
MY01 with SS D/P & C/S, Prodrive BB
Elise 111s with B&C Sports Exhaust.

Never had a problem.

Cheers

Simon
