is it sad that you can recognise one coming down the road?

i heard a lovely burble coming down the road nice and steady, and thought, that sounds like a turbo (escort). and it was a series 1. same with cossies, the older engines just sound alot meatier and more purposeful than the new VVTVETECVTI igofasterat600000rpm bee's in tin can engines.

i just cant wait to get mine back. BAAARP BAAARP BAAAAAAAAARP

my misses thinks im sad, we live next to a main road and when in the garden i can tell her what car has driven down the road by the exhaust note

Daviet

i thought the first 2 sports sounded much better

purple_fiesta

good old cvh with a mongoose exhaust is the best sound ever, my mrs knew when I pulled up becouse the house vibrated lol!

fuzzy

no , its the cossie clutch. its on my list of things to do ,so no big hurry

Daviet

you have to take the back end off to fix a clutch
and i thought you kept the bmw hydrualic one?

fuzzy

yes i did. the slave is mounted to the bellhousing. i need to remove my exhaust, driveshafts, my lsd and the custom prop to get access to the gearbox.the clutch has been in use for 4 years in 2 different cossie projects so its served me well.

Rhys

James

whats sad is i can tell the difference between a 2.0 and 2.4 transit engines :blub:

Ryan_3

talking about engines! what do you think its better on an escort mk1, 1.6 pushrod or 1.8 16v zetec with trottle bodies?!

pa_sjo

Nothing sounds like an ERST with an exhaust (well, or a fiesta with the same exhaust manifold).. That slightly unequal sound is mega.

Rab

I agree. I love that sound. Thats why I've had 9 RSTs.

vroooom ptssssh

I love the sound of an RST sitting at idle, then the fan kicks in and the exhaust not changes for a second babababababba

fuzzy

ive got to admit though the sound of a subaru engine pleases me most
