Quick vid of my tubby!

Post by robbie_742003 »

Hi Guys and Gals
Not sure if anyones interested, but i have always wondered how my car sounds from the outside as i can only hear it from the cabin. So i decided to mount a camera on the engine lid and have a few minutes of giving it some beans.
Even with only an Apexi intake i was quite pleased with it as i just decided to do it on a whim.

Sounds nice mate. Out of interest what revs were you changing? When I give it some beans I generally change higher up??

Good stuff though - sounds lush. Apexi has a lovely sound. Greddy Dump Valve?
Running: 313.8BHP @ fly and 285lb torque on 1.15bar.

Cheers mate
It was very damp today when i did it, and i was very aware of myself looking at the camera in the rear view mirror so i did take it easy. Probably changing between 4.5-5.

Well chuffed my standard BOV sounds like a Greddy! :thumleft:

Where did u spot the goose honk? Tried to make sure i didnt do one!! Or did u mean the characteristics of the standard BOV?
I secured it with a camera stand which has a proper suction cup like the sat-navs-works a treat!

It is a bloody nuisance, if you're just pootling along, just on boost, it does it loads, feel like a right fool!
Is there a problem taking the pipe off which recircs back? It was removed when i bought it and it seemed ok but everytime i let off the gas there was a pstch, felt a bit chavvy! I then put it back on.
