Pointless accessory
I just saw a silver Corsa go past the house with spoilers, wheels ,big exhaust etc. all done quite nicely, every 18 year old's dream car, but
when he changed gear there was a noise that sounded like an angry monkey trapped under the bonnet. I can only assume it was a dump valve sound effect
as the car was not that fast and didn't sound like it had a turbo fitted. It made me laugh and it made a few people jump but I don't think
anybody was impressed by it.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

unfortunately I'd guess your right, if you look in the Demon Theives catalogue, there is an "electronic dump valve," which is just a
high power tweeter under the bonnet. Sad I know.

So my idea of a whistle that bolts to your engine's air intake and sound's like a supercharger wouldn't be too popular on here then?

Confused but excited.

I'm sure you can already get something similar, it's like a little turbine blade you stuff up your 15" exhaust that makes a whooshy
sound...

Park Drive packet found on any pavement near you folded into four was my chosen method.

NO! This explains some weird sounding boy racer cars I've been hearing, a massive explosion every time they change gear yet are just crawling
along.
How chronically sad.
Saying that I am getting a set of straight cut cam cogs made for my v6 purely for the outrageous racket they make (think 90mph in reverse kind of
sound!), so I suppose each to their own...

My straight cut TranX gearbox sounds pretty much like that !

Funny you should say that
Jon, just before you joined us in TGI's at Heathrow last Sunday i had the exact same conversation with my gaffer when looking at the Chopper
they had on display.
I used to turn the mudflap up on the back wheel of my Striker. For some strange reason it didnt last too long before being worn away!
