due to a number of complaints by local residents including my neighbours I have been forced to leave the car in the garage during the week

Apparently on start-up it vibrates their windows and can feel the car through their floor

I've tried minimising the time spent on the drive by starting it in gear and moving straight off with as few revs as possible and no acceleration until well away from the houses

If I point the exhausts away from one neighbour the other complains and vice versa


I don't really want aggro with the neighbours and I appreciate that being woken at 5.00am isn't great..........short of taking off the HKS and fitting something quiter I don't know what else to do

 

is the HKS really that loud that it makes the windows vibrate and wakes your neighbours?

You'll have to either push it down the road, or fit the OEM one and give the HKS to me?

 

my wife stood by the window yesterday morning to see for herself and yes the sound it makes does vibrate the windows

it must the be the frequency of the sound as to me it doesn't seem that loud

I don't want to go upsetting the neighbours really

 

Sounds like a good reason to get shot of the HKS and buy the Amuse!

 

 

em!

If you are that worried buy them some ear plugs

(I once had to take my Ducati into work and I had race cans on it ...... so I rolled it 200 yards down the road before I started it up)

 

plug the exhausts with potatoes every morning and then itll be quiet for the first few seconds then you can bazzooka someone else round the corner.......

 

Buy the Amuse or get some silencers made up for it (my T1R comes with a silencer which can be fitted with a single screw - of course I've not actually tested it yet )

 

I kind a mildly 'lost it' last weekend.........

On Saturday I was 'confronted' by my immediate neighbour and was asked

'is it really necessary to rev the car when you leave in the morning?"

"yes it is necessary...this car revs to 9000rpms so to move off you use correspondingly more revs to get going"

"Well we are getting woken up every morning now by that car"

.......................... by now I am getting irritated

"When we first move in and we had a young baby....I seem to recall you drilling holes outside core 'business hours' waking up the baby and causing us grief. I didn't complain because I felt it was just one of those things living next door to someone and it was a case of us just getting on with it"

.....I am now really fecked off

"At the end of the day you can always take a nap in the afternoon if you need to" (they are pensioners)

 

You noisy

Get some old thick Hill Climbing Boot type socks and slip them over them till you get to the end of the street. If you slip some sting on them you can pull them in the window without stopping!

And I want pictures if you try this
