Default Last Saturday's outing - drive by noise test

Scientific (ears only) drive by noise test during last Saturday's sojourn

1. msp1 - the loudest but not your typical scooby acoustics. How so?
2. mbk - well 'ard but beaten by msp1
3. trap2
3. gazz300 - have to listen again to differentiate between these two
5. wrx, sti a creditible 5th

I'd be interested to know which systems you have fitted buoys, as mine's krapp.

I've got a Magnex decat centre pipe and Magnex 6x4 Oval backbox. TBH, I'm looking to change it for something a bit louder, either a Ti-phoon or a Ninja.

Hmmm...right then a full decat is clearly required...**** the planet!!

No not really cos I'm quite happy with the sound its still reasoanble in the car. This confirms my thinking that Mikes is louder and far more WRC roar like than scooby burble...

Captain - glad you made it back from behind enemy lines
Mines a 3" APS full decat, it is fairly loud but not OTT. Lots quieter than a Blitz Nur spec, they make your ears bleed

Mark - would it be too much trouble to mail me the clip of me overtaking you on the A470 with no music? I know I'm a bit of a tart but I'm interested in the noise level?

Mike,

as requested, I have turned the audio up as high as possible for maximum effect - on a pro-logic system with the subwoofer maxxed it sounds awesome!!

Yep, went for a 330 package earlier in the year. I assume by now you've probably got a couple of WR1s in the garage or Spec Cs?

You know the old place is closing down December 22nd? Went there today for a chat with some of the lads. The IT boys have moved to Pencoed.

Let me know how things are going.

Sold the Scoobysport zorst to a guy on the BBS. Very happy with it.

Mike

Nah, took voluntary in April. Working in Cardiff now. Saw Hugh in Millenium Stadium during Rally of GB, he was still with the firm. In fact I will ring him in the week as I want to buy a plotter off them.

Has yours been remapped and by who?
