STEREO.....when driving ur car (noisy car owners)....I dont give a fuck what u've got or paid for I.C.E.....i seem to start off with the stereo on and then i think the car sounds better and turn it off.....am i just listening for shit to fall off or break......is it a cossie thing or what...????

st_owner100

As much as I love to hear the pops and bangs from my exhaust, i use my stereo most of the time to mask all the clunks and rattles my ST seems to have acquired. Plus i do a lot of motorway driving and 3500rpm in 5th isn't fun to listen to for very long.

depends what mood i am in and why i am driving, if it's just a ride down town or something then yeah the radio will stay on, if i'm caining it i'll turn it off so can hear if anything is about to go wrong!

righthooker

like to listen to the car ,as you never know when somthing will miss or fall off

i really do like the sound of the car...i know it's not Ferrari noise...but just the engine, turbo etc....makes me smile.....

Ginge !

tony,,,,,,, dont wanna worry you mate but when my old erst made that noise i thought " hey my car sounds like a rally car,,, fucking cool or what "


when i drove through kingscross the old bill was nicking someone and they all stopped and looked at the car screaming like that


next thing i remember is the car locking up when i dropped it down to third to overtake a slow wanker on junction road, archway,,,,,,,,,,, at the fucking bottle neck section and i actually caused a traffic jam,,,,, the car was facing up hill


THOUGH i i felt a total tool,,,, the traffic warden with a attitude who kept calling me "son" to finished every sentance looked a bigger cunt when he DEMANDED i get in the car to steer whilst he pushs the car 5 feet forward up hill


he then shouted to take off the handbrake,,,,, then i told him the box is stuck in gear




so i do hope thats a straight cut gearbox,,,,, if nit your box is PROPER FOOKED or if neither you co driver really fucking dont trust your driving and screams like a 15 year old getting it anal

Its been like that for the last 13 years mate.... even if the co-driver is screaming I can't hear him

It is a Straight Cut Quaife yes - well spotted

That was on a road section at around 5k, you want to hear it on the stage at 8500 rpm

i cant hear shit over my two 044 pumps behind me so there is no point having a stereo in the fiesta,

do like to listen what the car is doing tho

its the performance ford paranioa

BM08

Thing is, i find the stock ford unit actually sounded better than my old jvc then i got a kenwood jobbie which sounded better(but i dont normally have it on anyway, the front lives in the glovebox)

gurnE

Same as that but when I had my cossie the paranoia kept the stereo off most of the time

Graceland

Tonys gearbox is SUPPOSED to sound like that Ginge

BigErn

Normally I listen to a bit Iron Maiden, AC/DC or the like when just out and about but when its time to play it gets switched off so I can listen to the car. And if theres another car involved then my window goes down a couple of inches so I can hear what thats doin too!!

I've always got CD's slamming out of any car I own, love music, don't give a fuck about engine noise!

escossie560

Funny really even with all that screaming going on I can actually hear when somethings not right or an odd knock or rattle begins to occur.

Your mind must subconciously block it out Wierd

I had a new Kenwood unit put in the cossie earlier this year, but it's hardly been used. I'd much rather listen to chatter and my 3.5" tail. I'm thinking of putting the standard head unit and amp back in and putting the kenwood in the Focus.

You can't beat the noise of a cossie!!
