just interested if anyones off as im going my self hope to see someone there instead of all the tin tops. be nice to compare to something similar

track day sat taking a mk with a blade engine as long as i pass the noise dont suppose anyone knows where they do the drive by at as there only doing static testing on anything that fails the drive by

done some noise testing local with my mate stood right on the pavement and got a spike of 100 static was about 102 this could be different on different meters though
should add that changing up at nine rather then ten should steer attention away from me

Iv'e been chucked out of Donny for noise, the noise police are very strict there.

A lot of drive by noise on becs is generated from the induction roar, i found taping up the bonnet scoop helped.

Another trick is to have the exhaust outlet pointing at the ground, and if possible under the car.

Have fun

got a airbox on it now and i will tape up the scoop and point the tail under the car im right in thinking they only do drive by failed at elvington with 118 from what everyone said it sounded awsome better not fail or its up for sale on sunday and ill get a cec engined one never had any bother with the car engine but then again its tighter now than a few years ago

Yes AFAIK its drive by only, some trackdays at Donny are 105db, it was a 98db one i got thrown off, for an alledged 109db, it worked out at something like £13.00 a lap
wouldn't mind but you can nearly touch the planes landing, fascist gits

i'm going tuesday for an evening trackday. been tested at 98db at 3 quarter revs. so quite tight!!

just thought i would post an update on yesterday. had a fantastic day no noise issues at all a day of two halves you might say heavy rain in the morning which been a newbie to donnington was a good way to learn the circuit without getting too giddy. then by lunch time it was dry and quite warm although i was still soaked, must get me some waterproof pants. really got in a good rythem (spell) mananged to get past a ferrari 430 round the bends, he had me on the straights. took great pleasure in telling him that his ceramic brakes cost more than my car anyway to sum up got in 480 track miles in the day only stopping for fuel no brak downs only had a nut on the exhaust bracket come off highly recommend donnington really good circuit enjoy hammerhead and dont worry about noise by the end of the day i was revving to 10500 past the tower and no problem
