Hi All

No doubt quite a number of you have set the odd car alarm off just by driving past an over-sensitive motor.

But... the noise from the HKS on my Sti managed to set off a House alarm the other day when i accelerated away "briskly"

And before I get burned for posting this...

1. I didn't mean to do it (honest!)

2. My dear old mum has already told me off and demanded i park round the corner when i visit so as i don't offend the neighbours! I've been suitably reprimanded already

And No, I'm not going to change it!

Yeah, I've got similar problems with my Scoobysport backbox. I live in a quiet area, and the LOOKS I get when pulling 'briskly' out of junctions...

I'm taking it off and putting my ProDrive backbox on...so if anyone's interested - its only 2 months old!

i drove past an auto dealership the other day.... set off every car alarm in the lot!!!

this was at night too.. so they all lit up really pretty hehehehehe

 

...I gave a mountain biker in an underpass bleeding ears when I went through bouncing off the rev limiter in second the other week - HEE HEE

 

I hope this "problem" can be replicated with the MY01 and an aftermarket exhaust.....pretty please!!!!!!

p.s. greetings from North of the field

 

Dave - you're just a hooligan (but v funny all the same

I made a man and his dog jump a couple of feet in the air, when dropping a gear as I entered a d-restricted zone

Err yep,

My old MY98 with SS back box used to give people in the Victoria Circus underpass in Southend bad hearing when I went through, also good for setting off loads of alarms in the car parks at Blue Water Shopping Centre

I'm having problems the other way around ... this electric milk float keeps going past my Scoob and setting the alarm off .... I'm going to hit him next time I catch him.

 

Er, Rebecca, if you drive a Subaru you shouldn't be getting passed by milk floats.

Ha! Ha! thought it would be obvious that I was stationary at the time.

 

Rebecca, sorry, couldn't help it

 

HarryH

that's the trouble with you men, you never can help yourself.

 

Rebecca,

There's a differance between not helping ouselves and not trying to help ourselves.

P.

 

Yeah, and that's the other trouble with you men ... you don't try!

 

No, I take that back .... you're just very trying!

 

So basically nobody else has managed to set off a proper House alarm except me, so i've got the baddest boo-yakka exhaust in town....

God No! I'm off to stuff wire wool up my exhaust before i turn into Ali G/Kev the Puffa Jacket wearing, Max power reading W****r!

Still not ditching the 'zorst (coz that's wot us Kevs call them!) tho!

Rebecca,

And the trouble with you women is that you always judge a book before you've even <I>seen</I> the cover

PS WARNING, non-pc joke ahead;


In the hospital, the relatives gathered in the waiting room, where their
family member lay gravely ill. Finally, the doctor came in looking tired and
sombre. "I'm afraid I am the bearer of bad news" he said as he surveyed the
worried faces, "The only hope left for your loved one at this time is a
brain transplant. It's an experimental procedure, semi-risky, and you will
have to pay for the brain yourselves". The family members sat silent as they
absorbed the news. Eventually, someone asked, "Well, how much does a brain
cost?" The doctor quickly responded, "$500 for a female brain, and $200 for
a male brain. "The moment turned awkward. Women in the room tried not to
smile, avoiding eye contact with the men, but some actually smirked. A girl,
unable to control her curiosity, blurted out the question everyone wanted to
ask, "Why is the female brain so much more?" The doctor smiled at the
childish innocence and then to the entire group said, "It's a standard
pricing procedure. We have to mark the male brains down because they're
used."

That's asking for trouble I know but, what the hell,eh?

PPS Your lack of smilies in your posts makes me ask Rebecca, you are treating this like the harmless banter it's meant to be aren't you? Don't want to offend anyone, well, not unintentionally anyway.

 

Must admit I've yet to set off a house alarm. But car alarms, plenty. As you live in a similar vicinity to me, check out the red Supra parked outside the granville in ramsgate A* SCM, everytime I go past it I can't help myself, down goes the hammer off goes the alarm, works everytime!!!Hehe...I wonder if he's sussed it's me yet!!

Looks like I don`t have those problem with my Fujitsubo exhaust system...
Also I have seen some other manufactures they made a sort of cover to insert into the tail pipe to reduce the noise level.
Thought might be a good idea for people who always get complained by the neighbourhood.

 

Same situation also,

ive got a fully decatted scooby sport setup, and the peuple in my office can hear me coming from about 3/4 of a mile away




Love it

Denz
And the police........??

 

Dave, I don't think the police use Scooby sport products.

 

Denz knows what I mean.....

 

Shame they don't. We would hear them comming.

P.

 

I have a full (almost Greg?? ) BPM system on my car and it is very loud and rumbley. i was at the Dublin motorshow last weekend and as i drove through the car park I set off 10 of about 100 alarms :-)

I frequently set off my neighbours house alarm and my mother claim the delph in her press rattle when I'm leaving her house!

I'm actually afraid of setting off a fire as when I bounce off the rev limiter in a low gear I send out a 5 foot flame!! Really.
At night the road lights up behind me :-)

Marvelous !!! :-0
