i used the sump and pickup off a HQ i think it came off a 253... which is of no consequence... they are the same as the 308.

ps: i want one now!

it got to 100db during one rev when i actually took it up to 3,500rpm i'm allowed 90. It's averaged over 4 tests. But it was windy..... and the engineer said that it could have been a factor in the high reading as well. It's even a little louder now than it is in that video. The muffler takes a few weeks to settle properly.

100db -thats a nice volume. I find that really interesting as your v8 sounds lower then that for the same volume. It goes to show [to me] that the lower v8 rumble is nicer and softer to listen too than high revving smaller 4cyl engines [such as what i've got] when at the same db counts. Nice one mate i'd love to listen to it in person rather than on video. Shame i'm not your neighbour!

Well done, how did you go with the suspension & engineering?
