I really hope the car is taken off this idiot. I've nothing against guys having a laugh in a quite corner of a car park but to do this sheet in the middle of a town in the middle of the day is just plain ****ing stupid. It also gives real rally fans a bad name for fool acting.

Correct. This kind of flute-acting makes life that bit more unpleasant and unproductive for all of us, not to mention being gobsmackingly dangerous. :mad:

Evidently not!
Oh and of course, as always, everyone is allowed call me a moron on here with absolutely no repercussion from the mods.
I'll report the posts as a matter of course but - as with 99% of cabb8ge's posts for instance - nothing will happen.

Henceforth no-one is allowed to call Cleve a moron. He's a roadkill-munching, tabacker-chawing V8-snortling redneck hick. Just like me. And don't y'all fergit it.

Sweet as it is, I'd rather the Century!

GvidoR, I raise you a Bee-R on a SR20

GvidoR

Oof... that S14!

YbFocus

She's a beaut!

YbFocus

Nothing like a Kouki S14, totally in love with them

GvidoR

I see your Kuoki, and raise you a VR6 MK2 Jetta

CianRyan

May aswell have been an SDI with a video like that.

No pulls, no engine noise.
On bags, all show no go.

Give me a drift/track spec Zenki S14 anyway. :cool:

YbFocus

Never got them cars GvidoR, could never understand the roof rails on them all.

Like how do they look well?

Cnuts like the Westbury Baptist Church should be sprayed with sh*te from a muckspreader, so smoking them out of it is alright with me all day long. Less so pedestrians and cyclistst, that is a bit much.

I like them, they are a saloon version of the MK2 Golf. Roof rails can look good at times too. :P

YbFocus

There's a lad near me that permanently goes around with a surf board strapped to roofrails on his bora. He was not a surfer. He looked sad...

Jesus.

Do people install those Rev limiters to get that backfiring sound out of them or is it purely to stop the car from being over revved?

GvidoR

The driver looked sad? ...because he doesn't go surfing?

The clues in the name .

YbFocus

No no... He looked ridiculous actually. Why would you strap a roofrack and surf board to your car when you have no use for either? @ jesus - it keeps the engine revs down, many do fit them for the noise but they are hard on an engine. Great in drifting etc if you make peaks in the early revs then theres no need to murder it near the limiter.

GvidoR

Since this is a Yootoob thread....

Fine until the centre diff goes

I know what Rev limiters are for. I used to drive a lorry that had one only they were called a "Governor". It was possible to remove it though

What I'm wondering is, do people actually purposely fit them to their car and is one of the reasons for producing the kind of sound shown in the two videos here?

I'd say the sound is incidental to the limiter allowing one to boot bejaysis out of the thing with wild abandon, secure in the knowledge that the 'rods won't launch toward the moon. Much. :pac:

Tangentially but relatedly, the kill-button on a sportsbike can make a wonderful firearm sound if it's flipped while keeping the throttle open. Or so I'm told...

Jesus.

Do folk actually fit limiters to their motors, Goose?

YbFocus

Is my answer not good enough jesus

I should say we can add "Yeeeeeeeee-F'tittititititit" to "Whooo" and "Phsss", yes! Exhaust valves be buggered... :pac:

Jesus.

Sorry YbFocus, I missed it. Cheers

Here's the difference between this year's and last:

Isn't that a holy Jaysis terror. They sound like an Avensis with a hole in the back-box. :mad:

Dartz

Because noise is lost power. And now that they have generators built onto the turbochargers there's no reason not to convert the excess noise into more speed. And lost power means lost fuel too - and it is a fuel formula these days.

Pique

Serious driving here. The real side of the Donegal Rally.

Where's the Youtube button gone ?

Yes, today's F1 is all about preserving fuel, driving efficiently, preserving engines and steward's inquiries when two cars come within 10 meters of each other.
Its is indeed an exhilarating sport. For accountants.
I'd rather watch something exciting, like a bake-off or maybe the antiques roadshow.
Seriously, F1 has been sanitized and lobotomized beyond all recognition.

YbFocus

I as an engineer have great time for the tech of these cars, yes the sound is gone but the racing these season has been great!

Forget about the noise, tis gone, learn to enjoy it!!

Well it's not there for me .

Pique

But the sound was an integral part of F1.

The noise is one of those primal things.

Why do we like explosions in space films, even though there's no sound in the vacuum of space? The battle may be the exact same but the explosions add the 'je ne sais pas'.
