Friend sent another video from before I fixed the exhaust.

Was that full throttle? Took a very long time to rev

It wasn't in power mode, so didn't kick down to the lowest possible gear

Sounds like a Corsa with a large exhaust, what's so good about that?

Yes corsa's sound like straight piped V8's. :rolleyes:

Its fixed now though so it has a more "tuned" V8 noise rather than just ALL THE NOISE IN YOUR FACE AHHHH.

Yes, they do sound basically the same. It just sounds like a generic farty car with a broken exhaust, not at all special or interesting. Sorry to burst your bubble.

I'm not pretending it sounds godlike, it sounds like a V8 with a broken exhaust. If you think a corsa with a broken exhaust sounds like a V8 with a broken exhaust you need your ears testing

Anyway I don't know why I'm arguing I don't actually care.

Would you like a cup of tea @InvaderGIR I've just put the kettle on.

It will be with you in 3 to 5 days. And might need microwaving.

Doesn’t sound like a v8 though does it

Dis86 · 20 Sep 2019 at 19:52

Definitely doesn't sound like a 4cyl!

Simon · 20 Sep 2019 at 19:57

No. I was waiting for the Rev limiter but then got bored

Well I mean, it does because it is one. I am, so confused.

The video didn't pick it up well in fairness, don't worry lol.

Akagi · 20 Sep 2019 at 23:52

Those wheels :cool:

Couple of updates to the car. Sprayed the grill black and had the wheels refurbed. Fancied a colour change

shadow_boxer · 22 Sep 2019 at 17:39

Really smart that.

Grill looks good but I think I preferred it with chrome wheels. Contrasts more with the lovely deep blue paint. Have they got a hint of bronze colour on them or is it just the lighting?
