Ive never had a complaint on my street, but I never really sit with it running. The other half told me there isnt really any need as long as you drive it "normally" for a few mins if you have been giving it some on the rd.

What has happened though is my landlord lives across the road from me, and not long after I bought the car the lease on my house was due for renewal.. so he stuck the rent up by about an extra £50 a month. Cheeky sod, must think Im loaded or something now :Laugh.
 
Oh and I did by accident cover someone with the "steam"and stuff out the exhaust. it was a very cold morning and they were walking past the car as I started it up.. oops. i just forgot daft cow I am! :Laugh

Contrary to popular belief, the FD is not a noisy car.

It\'s the aftermarket filters & exhausts that are noisy!

My FD is bearly louder than your average car on the road.

[gonzoninja]

My neighbours are always asking me why I wait for a couple of minutes after starting it up and before I shut it down

I tell them its for the turbos, but if they want to chip in a couple of grand for a new set I\'ll happily shut it off immediately. They don\'t say much of that.

Besides if they want me to change my car I\'ll swap it for my Dad\'s 4.6 Litre V8 Cobra replica, THAT is a loud car...I think they\'d love it at 6:30am

I live in a block of 52 flats the complaints allways come from the same flat which is on the third floor I dont have a stick my fingers up and do what I want attitude some people are impossible and in my opinion if they have a real problem with noise you should not live in london on a high street if someone complains then do your best to compromise but if after you have done everything you can to please them and they still complain then I say **** them

[Jim_rx7]

I have the nosiest neighbour in the world above me. Whenever I leave the house, let alone start the car she\'s out at the window.

I also had some neighbours shouting at me from their bedroom window the other week. In all fairness though, it was 11pm. But c\'mon, I had just got it started after puting my new engine in! lol

[Gman]

I spoke to a policeman friend of mine after my neighbour said she was going to call the police.

He said if your car is as loud as it was when it came off the production line then they can\'t do anything and neither can the neighbour.

But if it has been modified and \'made\' louder they can take it further.

My advice keep them sweet as you can.

[Jono FD3]

You guys are living in the wrong areas then!!! A mate of mine had an excessivly loud mini..... he had her off the road for about 3 months, & when he fired her up again & started revingit on the drive his 78 year old neighbour toddled out & shouted was that themini I just heard running? sounded awsome!!!

I\'ve got a curtain twitcher living next to me, but she is a diamond...... always waves & smiles..... but probably thinking thank god that noisy git has gone for a few hours...... then I come home & pull out the grinder @ 10pm!!!

i used to daily my FD a while back and my neighbours used my car as an alarm clock! Lots of families and old people where i live there a lot of posh snotty types here too. i swear down im like the fresh prince of Bessacarr! lol

the guy right opposite me had a go at me once for it. I spoke to him and apologised told him if i didnt warm it up it would pop and bang lots and i said most people are outta bed by 8am anyway!



Then a week later his son rocks up and walks over - big lad!!! i thought there was gonna be some trouble but in fact he had made the effort to come down and he wanted a look, then he showed me his car and he had spent thousands on a huge ICE install. he cranked it up MUCH louder than the FD!!!

i seldom drive the fd compared to how much i used to these days as i got myself a cute little polo to bomb about in and the neighbourhood is much quieter.

shame you lot have some ****** neighbours, be careful there might be sugar in your tank if you are a ****** back too many times.

heres an idea!!


maybe we should have a group buy on some of those active exhaust silencers???  


heres a link to what im talking about btw
