Does anyone have one and does it make a funny noise as you pull away ?
I\'ve got a Jasma exhaust. Doesn\'t make any strange noises though
funny noise? what do you mean ? :)
It is like a bit of a sucking/slurping/scrapping noise..only on slow speed pulling away.... that funny enough....
At first I thought it might be the clutch but it sounds like it is coming from the exhaust...
Any ideas ??
Slight Scraping Noise - Got a metalic clutch ? might be that
Rattles etc - loose exhaust
Can\'t think of any other noise that would do that from the exhaust area
Dave
Just for reference, JASMA isnt the make; its the Jap approved standard for sound/emissions/etc.
So you could have one of thousands of catbacks available on your car. Most arent lableed at all, those that are are usually on the top on the silencer i.e. where you cant see it whilst its on the car.
Cant think what the sounds might be; best pop it down to some with experience and a ramp...
Not sure what clutch is on the car ... It seems like a racing clutch of sorts... i.e. like an on/off switch
take it somewhere mate like Rich says
best thing to do :)
Dave
Cheers people... will do..
Anyone know someone around North WEst London/ South Herts they can recommend ?
Roteknics in Reading
Yeah Roteknics are dead easy to find. They are not the cheapest though.
should you really be called JayP1 still ? :)
seems like boasting and misrepresentation to me, you only got one of those slow crappy rx-7\'s now :)
Dave
Yeah thought of that!
I can\'t change my user name can I ? new name below it tho ;)
Well Done
Thats much better :)
Dave
I think the Rx get even more looks than the P1 did :cool
It was at the stereo shop last week and people were stopping and getting out of their cars to look at it! :eek:

I got told off at my gym the other day for "racing into the car park", I was going about 5mph (it was raining :)
aparantly the noise made it sound like I was doing a hundred!
I love noisey cars
Dave
Yeah I used to get it coming into work in the P1, saying the same thing. Only bought the Rx in once so far - think they are too scared to say anything just from the sound of it. :D
Nah dont need to change yer name it\'s much more fun confusing people & showing yer heriatge of course (http://www.stopstart.fsnet.co.uk/smilie/scoobsmile4.gif) lol
Some twin/triple cutches do make clunking noises but as above take it to some1 who knows what they\'re on about is most cunning......
Si
Mines got a paddle clutch and sometimes makes a noise pulling off but it\'s def not the exhaust doing it.

Oi Frith.... Dont start. :p
No one lets me have any fun :D
Dave
Sadly I still own a scooby. :( I know but I only drive it to and from work.
When I want fun I drive the FD. :D
Dan
ah the way it should be my friend :)
Although saying that, Jays P1 was a nice little beastie, was quite impressed, got to love that 4 wheel drive sometimes
Dave
I\'m still getting used to rear wheel drive - not confident in the wet at the minute :(
And can\'t wait till it snows :D
Quality new user name :)
Dave
Jay, I have had my FD about a year and a half now. And finding the limit is still so much fun.
I need/want to do a couple of trackdays to properly/safely find the limits. Donington will be getting a visit as soon as the modifications are fitted. :D
Dan
Who changed that LOL :rollin
It wont stay like that for long;)
Hi, are you sure its not the air pump making the noise through the intakes, mine made a orrible noise when i put a filter kit on, was fine with the standard air box though. Try disconnecting it and drive round the block for a test.
did the noise from the airpump happen all the time or just when pulling away ?
From memory it was pulling away and cruising speed at around 2500 rpm, best to just test it by disconnecting it for a test. On the top of the air pump you will see a wir which runs into an electrical connector, just pull apart for test purposes and then re connect after the test, you can even do it by just revving it up in the drive way, rev slowly and you will hear the noise if its connected, when unconnected it will probably disappear. Let me no the result please.
I will give it a go... sounds like it might be that...I will let you know
cheers

It is the clutch not the air pump....
