I've just checked back for the days we held in 2005 and 2006 and they were both......

87 drive by
101 static

This has been confirmed by CossieHelen who phoned MSV and Martin H who found it on MSV's website.


So panic over as this year is the same as 2005 and 2006!!!!!

mine will fail that static but thats not a problem is it its the drive by that really matters

900ss

I got black flagged there for noise a few yr back, so had to turn down the boost which was pants.
Atleast I got to go back on mind

Only problem with failing the static is YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED ON TRACK

Get some kind of bung or extra silencer made up now IMHO, as they were tight on it last time I was there (2 years back)

I will be running a bung inside my exhaust which is a pain as it really seems to kill the power (surprisingly noticeable), but it does help keep the noise down to 99/100db on the static.

Better to prep something now rather than chance it or fail it on the day.

I have bought his place


Mine should be ok on those noise limits, I hope

Paul Eggleton

Not true SiB. I believe they give you a red sticker to say you failed the static but allow you on track. They then keep a close eye on you to see if you fail the drive by.

was there a problem the last two times then 2005/2006?

Redkop

Depending on which way the wind is blowing, they sometimes reduce the static to 85.5db. Happened a few years ago when SIDC held a trackday there.

Dingy

Mine is 95 static with the stick on back box....

Lo@der

iTrader: (8)

will you fail drive by then? This is what my saff is also, 94.2db static.

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

mines 85 static

Dingy

Can't mimic drive by because i don't know where the meter is......as in how close to the track etc...


Old can was 98 static - so have halved it... with the new one and the dono drive by its was 101 but the meter is right next to the track...

Croft was 98 static and less than 92 drive by....


Both were at full boost and am turning it down....so lets hope its gonna be ok.

Chip

Dingy, the Meter is at 20 meters according to what Martin posted yesterday.

Still no chance for me, as mine is stupidly loud at the moment, definately need to get more silencing onto it for next year.

Helen, I hope you have a good time

Rossco

Glad my Nova is only 93db static at half throttle, will hopefully be well under on drive by.

Cossie Helen

iTrader: (1)

Cheers Chip.


Not sure if i'm going to drive yet or not But Dave will be on with my car

Dingy

20m is a fair distance so i think i should be fine

Rossco

You have got to have a drive, its your car!!

Chip

iTrader: (3)

I agree totally!

Bedford is a good track for novices

Cossie Helen

iTrader: (1)

Break my car and i will break yours the next time its working

DanS

N/A is the way to go people! Then you dont have to worry about silly little issues like this

Spiky

DanS

Rossco

You can get intake noise issues though, unfiltered throttle bodies or carbs can be very noisey.

foreigneRS

nonsense - the turbine itself does some silencing

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

my new engine is noisy, but no where as loud as TB's or carb's



be just me and DanS in track then

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Thats a nonsense, for the same power level a N/A car tends to be louder than a turbo one, as the turbo itself acts as quite a good silencer in fact, plus you dont have massive induction roar from a set of throttle bodies!

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

i'll rephrase it for the picky

205 GTI 1.9* or GTI6* is the way to go, NO noise issue then








* using std inlet, not TB's or Carb's

DanS

lol I didn't realise a sacrastic comment would spark such an interesting debate!!

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Not at all, its STILL bollocks.

205Gti Turbo technics for example is QUIETER (as in not noisier....) for the same power level as an N/A 205gti.


You are REALLY missing the point, N/A cars arent quiet at all, unless they are slow N/A cars
and slow turbo cars are MEGA quiet.

DanS

No NO NO!

YOU are REALLY missing the point! It wasn't a statement of fact, purely a tongue in cheek comment regarding the fact that you are all struggling with big powerful turbo cars yet us tiny powered n/a cars don’t have to worry.

blimmy its hard work this morning!

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

i think they missing this bit


any way DanS, WE will have a GREAT day as we WONT have issues with the NOISE TESTS

Chip

iTrader: (3)

We wouldnt have a problem either if we just crept slowly up the straight like you do by default

DanS

lol so true. We dont have to brake for corners though

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

at least at our crawling pace we are actually ON track, rather than just thinking about it

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Ouch, I felt that one, properly below the belt punch

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

well i'm not tall enough to punch above the belt
