    As said, they really are 2 different beasts. If you really want proper sound deadening, it’s going to involve a lot of work. Whole interior needs to be stripped out. Door cards, seats, carpets, maybe even dashboard. Then it will all have to be covered in Dynamat or similar product. Then the interior has to go back in. You’re talking a weeks work. And it will add extra weight to the car. This will go some way to deadening road noise but the issue of wind noise will still be there.

    Remove whatever bits of plastic and coverings you can. Use your ear and move your head around until you find the source of the noise.

    Vauxhall Frontera. Sold as Opel Frontera in Europe, Holden Frontera in Australia and Isuzu MU in a few other places.

    Does sound like a manifold leak but as said earlier, hard to tell 100% from video.

    An innocent girl was walking along the road. Got struck by a wheel that fell off an Land Rover http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-43331639

    An old guy I knew fitted a M5 engine to his BMW 2002. I asked him why. His reply, you can never have enough horsepower.
  7. Barry
    Beautiful. Any interior shots? Any plans for it? Very easy to up the horsepower by putting a smaller pulley on the supercharger and fitting a shorter belt.

    @desertdude where did they all go? I’m guessing it’s the usual case of it’s broken and old so scrap it rather than maintain it.

    Wow I love that old Mitsubishi! I’ve seen a few old Suzuki’s in Al Awir with similar stying but I can’t remember the model so no pics. Heres another from Ireland. Daihatsu Fourtrak. They’re old but they still make silly money second hand. Farmers love them. The off road ability of a land rover but a bit more comfort. I remember my aunt had one. She let me borrow it to take a girl for a date. I was around 17-18 at the time. First time I realised a 4x4 in 2wd mode could do donuts or drive on 2 wheels.

    Wow an awesome selection of cool cars there, aside from all the new rich guy Ferraris, lambos, etc. Proper petrol heads drive proper petrol head cars, not all the big money shite. Vote registered for Renwick. Good luck bro 👍🏻

    I miss the Peugeot 306. Had a few. The D-Turbo was a fun car. Very easy to get a load of extra power just by adjusting the pump and turbo.

    It was a real culture shock for me when I first arrived in UAE. I recognised all the brands but I had never seen the majority of the models before. My wife still mocks me for getting excited the first time I saw a FJ Cruiser. So please post some models of cars from your own country that aren’t available here. Ill start you off with a couple from UK. Vauxhall Corsa and Vauxhall Vectra, rebadged as Opel in the rest of Europe, a subsidiary of GM. Extremely common, run of the mill at home but I’ve never seen either here.

    You wear gloves? Pussy! Real men cut and weld in sandals here 😂

    Duly noted. Pity it wasn’t such short notice or I would have loved to join. Have plans this weekend. Or rather, the wife has plans for me 😂

    When is this?
  16. Barry
    😂 When you look at what the other manufacturers are churning out, Audi, VW, even the Japanese and Koreans, The new Camry, new Nissan Range, the new Kias, they’re identikit cars. The new BMWs are standing out for their design. Part of me is sad because the manufacturers who used to make interesting, quirky cars like Peugeot and Citroen have gone completely vanilla now. The sad fact is we’ll never see anything interesting like the original SM or DS again. Even cars like the Alpine GTA. It’s just like someone in a design office somewhere drew a picture of what a car should look like, changed the headlights and faxed it to every car manufacturer in the world.

    It is nice. But IMO, the price tag is unjustified. @treks I used to think they were complicated but after working on them, they aren’t too bad. Sure, there’s a lot of systems, probably too many, but when you isolate them and understand how the components affect each other it really isn’t too bad. Not saying it’s reliable because it isn’t. The more stuff there is, the more can go wrong. I started my career working on computer and electronic based cars so it comes naturally to me. The first time I was presented with an old car with no spark, old school distributor with a set of points a few years later I told my foreman it was too complicated. I had never seen it in my life. His exact words were “It’s not complicated, you just don’t understand it”. That has stuck with me ever since. If you don’t know, go and learn it and you’ll be better for it.

    The word on the street is that it will have the 4.4 V8 from the M5, pushing over 600bhp.

    I think this is a thing of beauty

    Hi Anna. Welcome to Carnity

    Eh, the Land Rover losers ripped it off from the bikers
  22. Barry
    Can’t comment on legality but if you’re just removing the resonators and leaving the rear silencers in place then surely it won’t be so obscene?

    I have a cutting machine at work. If you can find the material.

    Rush(2013) Movie

    Barry replied to Jeh's topic in Off-topic

    I love this movie. Watched it 3 times in the first week. My favorite scene is where James Hunt puts the tape recorder in the reporters mouth and smashes his teeth. A true gentleman looking out for his friend. He met a sad end though. It's nice that Lauda is still around. A testament to their personalities and lifestyle I guess. I also loved the hitch hiking scene where the guys pulled over to let Nikki drive their car and they weren't interested in the pussy at all 😂

    No registration plates please. Weve all see the 1.8 Honda Civic Type Rs and Nismo Corolla GTRs. Now check out the new BMW M5 4x4. I don’t know who some people think they’re fooling. Anyone who knows anything knows the M5 is a Saloon car.
