But you cant check until your out there, there are too many variables, wind direction, positioning of mics, distance from track, i knew i would be close for the static so did everything i could bar design and build a new exhaust and managed to loose 3db from my Combe reading, at that point its cost you "x" to find out. The trouble is they dont even mention drive bys, all they say is (as i know you are aware), your car must meet the noise requirements of the track which are, static test performed at half and meter at 45 degrees at whatever decibel reading. Its just all very ambiguous, i have no idea why there isnt a lets say, an industry std, so we can all get our cars sorted and surely it would just make it easier for everyone concerned, tracks, organisers, even the complaining nimbys.

I didnt expect you to say anything other than the contrary but its not just trackdays, motorsports events are also obliged to meet certain db limits, what was the biggest complaint surrouding F1 over the last few years, noise or lack of. A guy in a totally std 911 gts struggled with the static on Saturday and had spiked 1 of the trackside mics, so its not just aftermarket "noisey" boys. Going back to my first post, i dont disagree there shouldnt be db limits, but surely there should at least be a standardised format for testing that is reasonable and universal in its testing at all circuits and subsequent monitoring at the nimbys homes which also needs to meet certain criteria before complaints can be upheld, as reference I can drive round Combe all day without issue, not even borderline at Goodwood, as Gm says, if you choose to move near a motorsport venue, you have to expect noise of cars going round a circuit.

I managed to do Thruxton with my fi'd 350 without issue, however, I was noise boarded at Bedford, with the same car, so consider that place far worse.

Good points Stu, especially the noise cancelling technology But Goodwood, i mean, the revenue they bring is mind blowing, apparently just to the local area its £25 million+ just for the festival of speed, £105 million nationally for that and the revival, i have to be honest, if i was Lord March i would just tell the "few" nimbies to f*ck off and try closing me down, i think the government would soon be on his side!

Lets have a chat, not thats anything we can do, but i am growing increasingly frustrated with draconian db limits. Yes of course i understand residents dont want v8's, v10's or v12's on open pipes, any car come to think about it, but i did Goodwood yesterday and on the booking the same as any other track info, you will be required to meet a static drive by of "x", passed no problem, no mention of passing drive bys (although we know they exist), but there is no standard we can all work too, microphones can be placed anywhere at any distance from the track. So as an example yesterday, my mate went in his Atom, 98db static (thats on the limit) but didnt trip one noise meter, i was 95db and tripped 2 out of the 3 first time out, yet i can drive at Combe with no issue as an example. The big irony to me yesterday was during our time there, helicopters and planes were taking off and landing all day, you can be damn sure they were louder than anything out on track. So should there not be a standardised test that is enforced and acceptable at each circuit or to play devils advocate, should it be relevant to each circuit and its circumstance and geography?

Thought i would wait till later in the season so did it today, booked with opentrack, the track was fantastic, utterly brilliant, but what a load of utter utter sh*te, managed 4 15 min sessions on what was supposed to an open pit lane track day, i could have run one more if i had the patience to stay but spent more time sat in the car queuing, not impressed.

They are from what i have read but do seem to remember some connector differences on the controls.

If you have the skills, design, form and make your own kit from scratch, sell them at under £500 and see how long you stay in business, whilst the materials may be cheap, you cant imagine the man hours necessary to take that to production. Oh and dont forget then someone comes along and makes a cheeky mould as its only a £100 quids of materials.....

Valy's Zed build #Rocket Bunny >The Blackout<
Jetpilot replied to valy's topic in Member Build Projects
This should help with wheel specs rather than guesses, if its not too late http://my350z.com/fo...ire-thread.html -
Like every other ev thread that always ends up with the same "discussion"
-
Its 20% of the price of an original, hopefully that answers that question. There goes the rocket bunny exclusivity, dam shame if you ask me, wish companies would go after outfits like Knightracer
-
Is it just dealer thievery expecting cars to be service at yearly/two yearly intervals even if no miles have been covered?

Changing reg plates - confused by DVLA
Jetpilot replied to Dynamic Turtle's topic in Off Topic Discussion
All doable on line these days, if that helps. -
Venison sausage is without doubt the best i have ever had, but that was given to me from a friend into shooting.
-
I ran a 275 rear on a charged zed, 265 on track, more than enough grip.

Thanks Lexx

If i view the full site on a tablet, it randomly jumps to google play game apps. No other site i view does this, any ideas?
-
^^^ Whilst i appreciate the sarcasm i am the first to advocate enjoying our cars for what they are, however, that doesnt mean driving at twice the speed limit. The roads are pretty shocking these days and we are all quick to jump if a video gets posted of someone driving like a tool

Great idea, how many people would speed over here if fines were high and means tested

What injector duty you running on the 800's?
-
Lights, seats, gearbox etc are where you return will be, the rest will be sporadic change, i have to be honest, being all the work to strip it down (time), package parts, get let down by people etc etc, i would just be looking for a decent 2nd hand engine from a trader like Alex above or John at Emperor.
