Its all illegal, as Dan put it...over the roof and a cool story or loose the legs. Have a look at a street driven hotrod like a T-bucket... blacked out fenders...and the plods give them easier time than imports. *...must be something to do with age*

When I was waiting at the pits at Welshpool a couple of months ago there was a statesman with a few things that weren't able to be passed, including the exhaust. It was loud & maybe it was illegal, but I have heard louder. Few minutes later a red hot rod that was being inspected in the next lane gets started up & goes for it's drive then back again next to us. It was a hell of a lot louder than the statesman was, the inspector doing the hotrod & the one that did the statesman are both there to hear it, and this guy who seemed to have the engineering papers with him was told his car will be fine to be cleared the next morning (ie I heard this inspector say at about 8:30 to just come & see him & he will be brought through, not have to wait in line). Obviously the young guy with the statesman wasn't very happy considering they gave him shit for his exhaust when another older guy comes through in a restored car with a harley-spec exhaust & gets told nothing is out of place & to come in for coffee (basically, like).

But yeah, no discrimination with age/jealousy at all :banana:

I would hate to hit someone and kill them with no front bar on.... You would be in sooooooo much trouble......

And how would you feel for the rest of your life... And the worst thing about no front bar.... Looks terrible :banana:

    • Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?
    • Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.
    • Emissions, fuel consumption, heat, noise, etc. most likely.
    • For me at least the reason why it bothers me is because it's indicative of a deeper problem. And that will nag at me forever. Especially because I have tailpipe emissions testing + evap leak testing every 2 years.
    • WELP. I went to the track, and I suppose it went okay because any time you can drive home is okay. You may notice the car is not on the circuit in this picture. It was about 35C day out in Benalla which means the track was approximately the surface of the sun, probably. Good things, car did not overheat but it _was_ warmer than when I had done track days in similar heat before, I think, I'm not sure - I can't quite remember. Coolant got to ~105 via the ECU after 20-30 minutes of belting it in said heat. Oil got up to 145C in one instance which is pretty crazy due to oil cooler. Pressures were fine. I seem to remember this not getting quite so high before the vents. More HMMMM'ing to be done. On the subject of HMMM'ing, can anyone identify the sounds in the video below, you will know which ones I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj3BkI2cbTc I included some 'normal' sound as a reference for the first minute or so. The microphone in this instance was where the license plate is. It stopped working later in the day which is why my "best example of a lap video (not produced)" had internal audio - Isn't hearable from inside the car. I don't mean the chirping of the un-bedded/badly bedded track brakes which you can only hear while braking... Thoughts, brains trust?
