Can I just write an \'E\' on it in marker?

Yes sorry, forgot about that bit.

Must say since I had the external wastegate put on the car a few coppers have turned and looked at the car - hopefully it was to look at rather than want to gimme an earful!!

It\'s great fun passing cars as the noise reverberates off them lol!!:D

Yours must be extremly loud Tim!!!;)

Simon,
           I think you\'re almost correct in your thinking but the interpretation would be that you are not allowed to modify a cars standard exhaust system in anyway that would make it more noisy. Changing to a peformance exhaust would be OK as long as it as loud or quieter than a standard exhaust system.

I still think that the limit of 101Db(A) would stand in court ... its the limit stage rally cars (must have an MOT) are checked at

So,  Ben,   does this mean you have a single now?

Thanks for all the info. It is loud,but there are louder FD\'s driving around.Done over 100 miles,has made 1.1 bar boost at 5000 rpm,no more,still running it in.

[Initial-D]

Yes ( he says with a big )

Although funds are pretty tight and my gearbox is getting notchy! What timing!!

Corr your brave Tim going up to 5 grand with boost when running in!;)

It\'s an absolute monster! I was following Tim down the road after work today and felt physically sick! The fumes and the rumble were too much, I felt like a right tart backing off a few meters! Can\'t wait for Tim to put the passenger seat back in!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

That\'s because you are a right tart Matt.
I would of thoguht after all the abuse I gave you eysterday you would of got the message by now. tut
Tims car does sound fantastic at tickover but he\'s still gonna get his arse whooped.

[mattmaclennan]

Abuse? you ain\'t seen nothing yet... Mr "I can\'t find my nuts" Ellis:D

Went to Reworx today to tune my car ready for Rotorstock.Made 349rwhp and would have made loads more,but the apex seals decided to rip up the ceramic coated housings.
:mad:
I now have 4.6 bar compression,which is crap,so engine is coming apart:(
Still breaks traction in 2nd,and spins the wheels all the way to 9000rpm,But that\'s what I want in 4th.

[MikeLMR]

Doh, what apex seals are you using ? are  you using the Cermet B coated housings ... same coating as on the R26B ?

[20B_boy]

Sorry to hear of the probs Tim, having heard the whole sorry story from start to finish I do feel for you

Best of luck getting her in and out again and ship-shape for the weekend. Oh, and if u get her finished up with time to spare we could do with a hand! :rollin

Was looking forward to seeing her on the dyno too

Hi, I did a little research on this matter too.  My interpretation on the matter is that basically there are no noise level limits for normal road cars.  As long as the exhaust pipe has not been modified after its been manufactured to make it louder, then you\'re within the law.  So if you buy a straight through pipe from a supplier/manufacturer it doesn\'t matter how loud it is... as long as you dont alter it to make it louder.

There probably isnt a MOT station with sound checking equipment, my last imp with a full race 998 & 18" straight thru exhaust needed earplugs to drive anywhere, The mot tester did comment on the noise but said he couldnt fail it for noise but put a note on the MOT sheet basically saying it needed looked at

[Timrxmotors]

All running again,no ceramic this time.Done 20 miles,feels stronger than before.Rotorstock it is.Alledgedly Brian Ellis has 478rwhp,should be a good race.
