I came off the throttle then back on the throttle through a roundabout ... the wheels didn't spin the engine just revved up and attracted attention so the cop who was on the sidewalk pulled me up and gave me a warning ... and they decibel tested the car and I had a chat with them for a few minutes and they let me off ... after showing my recent rego papers of only 2 months old and no modifications have been done since the rego inspection...

My car decibel tested at 97.4 db @ 3200rpm for a RB20DE sounds to me like there db meter is a bit f**ked as my car is not that loud .. my 1.6 SOHC ford laser is a million times louder

They let me off and told me to stuff some steel wool up the exhaust to quieten it down a tad as they said it was just over the legal limit of 90db

They then retested it a 2nd time at my request with myself watching the meter and the car only made 91.4db @ 3200rpm which is only just over ...

The cops are only doing there job ... but I don't know how accurate there equipment really is

I guess it was my fault for blipping the throttle and gaining unwanted attention in the first place so I will learn from this episode and will look into getting the car officially db tested for future reference

for starters, im hammered

and 2nd, you have a RB20de, like that would e above 90db?

i guess you have a turbo exhaust su=ysteem maybe? but hey you are winning in the efficiency stakes, seriously a RB20de is excellent on fuel, period/

i cant really comment as i have a L24e, that gets 520km to a tank, and is so hard to work on, its like givin head to siamese twins

i so drunk... someone shut me up

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
