87dB drive-by and 101dB static - is that right
Not a hope in hell with the drive-by  we got booted off of Donnington for 115dB or something at fairly low boost :/
Static we're only 95'ish dB

Nonsense Adam mate if I'm honest, when I went there was a TVR of sorts and a new shape Ferrari and both of them sounded like WW3 and weren't pulled off.

I assumed the astra was co-owned by you and James. So its just yours?
I'm sure my mate took out the bottom end in the Impreza if that makes you feel any better Lent it to him to get some tuition round Knockhill

I'm fine with james driving it and crashing it, cause he knows the rules and we're mates, out of all my friends who could of possibly pranged it, I know he would do a sterling job fixing it. That and its a shitty 5 door 1.8 16v Astra

exactly, thats why its perfect for messing around on track, i imagine there is an abundance of spares out there and probably cheap as chips to fix

I never get noise limits.
Brands had a db limit of 107db for me, I run at 107.4 so had to swap to standard exhaust. Standard run at 105db
Now on video, you cannot hear my bike at all, yet some are going screaming past, far noisier than my aftermarket exhaust but they get through noise testing???
Go figure
Will and JR are not doing budget track days, they would have a 1.4 8v for budget track days instead as thats a super cheap engine. £50 for another engine at the scrappers thankyouverymuch

Noise limits are nonsense, on static mine is so quiet but anyone that has heard a Remus on an Astra knows how load it is.

As soon as you put your foot on the loud pedal and the revs rise it just gets louder and louder

My Fiesta didn't even get noise tested at Brands He just put the sticker straight on the window
He just laughed when I said "can you stick it up there just so I don't feel left out"
