You’re going to have to pull the steering rack out to get that drivers side one in. There’s barely enough room to fit a set of V6 headers in there without pulling the rack off. (and isn’t for some header designs.)

Great work :D

One little thin I’d do to make life easier in the future is put a band of red or black heat shrink every few hundred mm’s on the battery cables. that way you don’t have to trace them back to figure out which is which from the middle.

Ok, I’d probably have bought red & black cable but that’s just me. :p

Ah, Club sprints.

Gary, both WACC and SDCC do them here.

Switches on the switch panel?

Lazy engineering does have advantages. :D

I love the Porsche engineers, changes from 996 to 997 seems to be head & tail lights.

ah, crap. Well you did a good job of that one, glad you’re still around & playing with cars.

That old Dato is awesome, I wonder if it’s still around?

[Chris (agentcrm)Participant SC, CTVR Statesman 1968 Skoda 1202 View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 82]

haha, yeah there’s not much VR really left now. :p

[Chris (agentcrm)Participant SC, CTVR Statesman 1968 Skoda 1202 View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 82]

I have Volume 8 (wiring diagrams) of the VR factory manuals, PM if u need something.

Yeah, H.D. would probably sue the government for Patient or trademark infringement if they quietened them down……. That said I’d say most superbikes are over the limit at higher revs anyway.

Old lawnmowers are over 95 dB from memory.

Power windows are normal in rally cars though. :p

[Chris (agentcrm)Participant SC, CTVR Statesman 1968 Skoda 1202 View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 82]

Yeah, Touring car mmasters where on track at the time. I remember the loudest car was a little Escort, you could hear it over everything. It was still 90 dB at the fence 20??m away.

My guess, LOUD!

LOL I suspect you may be correct, here’s hoping it’s under my Club limit of 95Db though <fingers crossed>

Having become somewhat schooled up on exhaust sound level, will depend very much on at what rpm? Is it the standard road test measurement at a specified rpm?

Not really sure how they test it at the track, I’ll have to ask the scrutineer this weekend

I was working at the Clipsal trackside years ago, last turn out side. There was an official with a noise meter measuring the cars while racing.

There are free apps that you can use to measure decibels, no idea on accuracy but it will be close enough to guess.

haha, yeah more power’s normally easy. :p

Put a TKO manual trans in and you’ll probably get 40kg back.

The 4L60 isn’t a light trans, I don’t want to think what the 4L80 weighs. :p

That’s still rather impressive. There’s not that much fat in the old base models to remove, even the V6 itself isn’t that heavy.

No doubt, would be a better way for subs to work though.

[Chris (agentcrm)Participant SC, CTVR Statesman 1968 Skoda 1202 View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 82]

Only for a small amount of replies between activity.
And I don’t think selecting it each response changes anything.

I do get notifications if it’s a thread I’ve started though. (touch wood)

I don’t think most ‘retirements’ these days are happy, at least you haven’t retired from life as well.

The number of idea’s i have floating around in my head I’d need to win a lotto megadraw before I could start any of them.
