Another wonderful sound.

Cheers Niall, proof that turbo charging an engine does not ruin the exhaust note.

Or the exception that proves the rule?

I refer the esteemed gentleman to the turbo era in F1

I refer the my learned colleague to the Ford Cosworth DFV era.

I need to go and listen to that BRM V16 video now...

Oh I agree that you cannot beat a racing engine on straight pipes with ITB's, my point is that not all turbo cars sound like they have a sock in their exhaust.

Thats cos people think of it as noise...I love the sound of a v12 the jag one is a fav.

Ah maybe an F1 car as a musical instrument

Tubs?

already mini-tubbed and can fit a 275/60/15 drag radial (equivalent to a 28x10 slick)

bored, so bolted up engine plates mounts and dizzy cover to check fitment. might be able to use the plate to mount the alternator and make it adjustable. found a place to get dry ice, so probably wed will go take out all the tar. need to label and remove loom as well.

Does anyone know anyone in south London brilliant with paint and minor repairs? Some cunt has reversed into my Golf and slightly dented the metal trim at the front on the grill (looks like it'll push out and T-cut out if I can figure out how to remove it) as well as cracking the grill, which probably needs replacing and painting.

Any ideas gents for a decent reasonably priced solution?

how this guy is alive has got me stumped.

Well the inevitable happened.

I broke the MX5.

It now sounds like a V8 leafblower. I haven't been able to get properly underneath it to check it out, but from the lack of hanging down pipework, but the strength of the sound, it's either blown through the cat or separated at a join. The system is supposed to be full stainless, I have the receipt for it as it was a custom install by a LongLife installer/dealer so it's either a job of clamping it back together, or I'm hoping they will honour the original lifetime guarantee if it has blown through a pipe.
