My tyres are pretty loud eh? Stock exhaust/air filter/turbo/car ftw! :)

I see these being mucked with a fair bit... I would totally just set up a speaker near by and have random loud noises happening and random times... like when that cyclist is riding past :D

hmmm time to take out the air horn

Im sure legislation to inform drivers will be posted, like bus cameras and speed cameras everyone will have a hissy fit about them.

hopefully this doesnt even need to get this bad.

yeah im sure it will,,,,, but im sure it the cammeras will be posted on a few main roads that trucks use (going down hill)..... and the rest will be adapted to be placed at setsof trafic lights that are situated halfway up a steep hill so us mo fo's with loud ass rb's get done just because we are trying to get up a hill from a standing start....atleast its not an instant fine and we have time to destroy the hard drive before somebody checks it...... sure they put cameras around them to deter this..... but as we all know people arn't really detered by cameras, if they were we wouldn't have property insurance, contents insurance and theft.....

put earmuffs on it.

for sure my car is loud as a truck when im going down a hill on the gears not the brakes. ive got no idea what db level they are set to monitor, but i can guarantee most of us are over it in the right circumstances

oh man, a wolf pack of harleys went past me on the way to work... I had my window down... fark me I hope this shit is put all over sydney!

I know my car is loud, but it's not THAT loud, not even at full noise! (which is loud)

I hope they put one on Elizabeth Street in the city and defect half the buses off the road.

lol. I live on elizabeth st and I was just thinking surely at least half the busses will fail. if you are anywhere near one you cannot hold a converstation at all and the noise actually hurts! even sitting idling away they are stupidly loud. at least a nice RB sounds good. these are just nasty noise. bikes are also insane. and what pisses me off the most is all the little pizza hut delivery guys on their scooters. I swear they modify the exhaust to make them sound crappier and louder and they feel the need to rev the crap out of them at any and every opportunity. really pisses me off. it's awesome just as you are falling asleep at midnight some wanker on his pizza hut scooter comes stops at the lights and starts revving the thing to 23,000rpm. I don't know why they are out so much, surely no one in the city actually wants to eat pizza hut anyway with so many great places to choose from? I think the city branches must just be a front for some kind of drug courier operation...

Cop sirens are loud?

haha - true, but same deal with speed cameras - cop cars are fast and i doubt they get booked when they speed past them :D.

But also like speed cameras, as long as we know where they are, we will either avoid them or cruise past them in a higher gear, if that helps some of you (of cause depending on where they are placed eg. hills etc) so when we go down hill we will just have to pop it into neutral.... don't know about climbing hills tho...that will be a problem....

it would be funny to get a mate on a push bike to sit in the zone of the camera, and another one to set off the camera with an air horn or something... it should freak out the guys at the RTA when that one comes through the system.

Oh so that new camera on the mount ousely isnt a speed camera???

I drove past it the day it was put up and i had no freaking idea what it was..

I drive to wollongong nearly everyday!!

BUT WAIT.. theres a flash behind it tho??? hmmm

Im sure its a speed camera and not a noise camera lol

hmmm just checked the link.. the pic looks like its near the houses somewhere!!

Im 100% certain there is a new speed camera on mount ousely. Just after the truck inspection bay!!

Dont think its setup as there are no signs.. But it will catch a lot of people as you cant see it till the last sec.

i talked to my truckie mate and he told me it measures the repititions of the air brake noise, thats how the camera tells if its a truck or car and thats what they're targeting with that particular camera, thats all he knows.

I wish they put one of these in nowra,sick of getting blasted out of bed in the middle of the night by inconsiderit truckies.there's signs asking them to limit engine braking in town,yeah right. end whinge. :P

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
