I had a bit of a small boy moment yesterday. Was bringing some wood for a friend and had the boot open. Exhaust made a nice pop so I decided to investigate. Went out to an empty car part in the evening and opened up the boot. Gave it the boot a couple of times in 1st and 2nd. :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: :tongue:
Slight drawback is that the fumes and dirt can get sucked in. But I was cleaning it today anyway so I didn't mind.
Of course I must encourage everyone to drive sensibly and avoid behaving irresponsibly. :grin:

looks like i'm going to an empty car park tomorrow now then :grin: :grin:

Too far from the rear where the exhausts are. Besides the wind noise will mask the exhaust note! :laugh:

I love the noise from the exhaust when you change gear around the 3500 / 4000rpm mark. Is it the turbo dump valve or something? Like a thudding noise. I dont need the boot open to hear that. :grin:

Windows Vista or XP? :laugh:

:huh:
Windows Vista was a mess, like that hideous mess that was Windows Millenium...
XP and Win7 in my house thank you.

XP Profesional at work and Windows Vista Business at home. The former on a lousy network with 20.000+ pcs and the latter with no problems with 50 Mb broadband. Really super fast!
But I am lousy with computers. :sad:

LOL! Reminds me of something that I used to have on my pushbike when I was a kid - In fact you can still buy them on amazon (http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001TDKQLU/ref=asc_df_B001TDKQLU644046/?tag=the09-21&creative=7966&creativeASIN=B001TDKQLU&linkCode=asn)! :laugh:

Oh wow, I've just got to get one of those for my Transit :laugh:

There is a video of 5th gear trying them out. The only problem seems to be that the sound redlines prematurely in relation to your actual engine.

Perhaps then the items are better suited to diesels and thus your transit would be perfect.

Well, I ordered one from Germany last night, so I'll let you know. I did a bit of research online and they only seem compatible with about 50% of cars - don't really know why.
I'll try it on our 3 vehicles (GTI, Transit & Renault Espace) and see what happens. It is a silly gadget and I can well see myself getting tired of it after a few days, even if it works as advertised on that Aussie video, but I can always sell it on again.

get up some vids

Another thing I might add....
for some instant performance increase get a passenger to sit with a bottle of fizzy juice. shake it and release (but make sure not to spill it) when you accelerate. Sounds just like a proper dump valve :laugh:

Penguin and Froggy: You are both more outrageous than moa! :shocked:

Well, my SoundRacer thingy arrived in the post today. I plugged it into the 12V outlet in my Transit van, tuned in the radio to the frequency displayed on the SoundRacer and - to my amazement - it worked first time! It's a good laugh around town, though you'd have to be a masochist to listen to it on the motorway. I'll probably keep it just to surprise people in the van, but I don't think I'll ever put it in the GTI :laugh:

any chance of a little clip? (i know there's plenty on youtube but it's not the same

I'll see what I can do, but it won't be for a few days, as I am really busy at work at the moment :smiley:
