Accidently pushed the gas pedal too much and hit the rev limiter in 2nd gear. This made the car pop like an ALS.

The car next to (Lady driver) crapped herself, her face was a picture. Having her window open didn't help.

Great ain't it, people hear this what sounds like a crap misfire,then slam it into third and leave them in the dust!!!!

Vinesh

I didn't mean to scare her.

It just happened, don't normally push the car that much.

But I was well gone in third!

Bit like changing gear right next to someone on the path, so the dump valve goes off!!!

Vinesh

This was on a dual carriage way.

Lee S

Well you never no when someone is on the dual carriage way!

I find that most of my gearchanges take place when I'm passing pedestrians or cars with windows down......(forge VTA d/valve)

Hmmmmm, coincidence?

I think not!

Vinesh

D/V does scare people!

ATB

D/V's dont scare people but the a loud waste gate chatter does... :-D I always seem to change gear near pedestrians mainly chics..... Lol...!

16vmarc, the Scoob has a Bosch (I believe) dump valve as standard but is only audible with an induction kit.

16vmarc

16vmarc:

U can JUST ABOUT hear it in standard form on a cold day with windows down. But its very quiet.

Mine was completely inaudible with standard set-up. (MY00 UK)

I fitted my K&N Induction kit and it became very audible, but not very crisp..

I fitted my Forge VTA and it's very nice indeed... Not as loud or as in your face as, say a Blitz but still nice.

I remember a few years back (quite a few) when i was into motorbikes. I used to motor along, click off the "run" switch and then click it back on. LMAO, never failed to get the loudest backfire. One old lady dropped her shopping and i remember a young lad walkin along a wall, he fell off!!!

Shame i had to grow up really!
