How's engine, road and wind noise in your beast? (BTW, glad to see you don't subscribe to 'engine noise is the only music I need' school of performance driving.)

Justin, not to be rude or anything...

I was hoping someone else would say this before I got around to it: Proper capitalization is your friend.

Bonzi, I got so tired of all the Ferrari owners whining about "the engine is the only stereo you need" - bunch of ***** The cabin is actually well designed, so wind noise is not too much of a problem, unless I'm at Laguna Seca doing 120 - but then I've got a helmet on so don't hear it Road noise - well, you definitley hear and feel the road, but I like that. I don't like the modern sports cars which prevent you from feeling the road. I guess I'm old fashioned!! The engine is surprisingly quiet in the cabin - even with my Tubi exhaust in full mode. You have to be outside to appreciate the full engine noise, which I am thankful for! On long journeys, the engine was sometimes just at the annoying pitch for too long, so the stereo has helped in that regard! All in all, I am impressed with my little car, which has become almost a daily driver now. Except when the rain turns Californians into crazy drivers. Then I don't feel safe on the streets! Cheers, Richard

Ah, the Dinan. An impressive piece of engineering. Sometimes wish they did other cars besides BMW.

My only option would appear to be a twin turbo modification by Koenig - for the price of a small car!

Cheers,
Richard

The dyno is in PA, between Philly and Lancaster.

I have a F360 fund going now (used to be a 355 fund, the stock market made it look like a FORD F350 fund now, sigh). I think that if I ever get the thing, I'd just drive around listening to the engine, running under bridges like Doug at www.nsxfiles.com.

I'm not even sure I'll install one in the Supra, if I can find a place for an amp I guess I will... I only have two speakers in it until we build a new roll cage.

Shame, I'd love to see my car on a dyno, but PA is a bit far from my house in San Jose, CA!

I understand what you're saying about the stock market and your 355 fund... I was hoping to find a 3 car garage with a house attached, but then the stock market decided to play silly games.

Sounds like you do some serious driving if you're adding a roll cage. I keep wondering if I should put one in my 355 for my lap days (of which there have been exactly 1 so far!)

Cheers,
Richard

Didn't you say you have a Spyder? I would surely want a bolt in cage at the least for track days. My Supra has a full cage, the Eclipse is getting a full cage as well. I don't do enough driving, but hopefully more in the future...

I wish I had more space at my house, just a rather small two car garage. Where the dyno is, we have room for... well, I don't want to make you feel bad =0 Those car-skate things are great, you can really pack cars in with those...


(All this crap is for the business I've helped my dad start as he gets ready to retire. He is a steamfitter, and after I had him make some turbo related parts, I thought he might have a go at making parts for others. Cages, custom plumbing for turbos and wastegates, etc)

My WRX gets over 110hp per liter too! (2.0L with 227hp) heehee Turbos count too

Looks like this influx of new members will have some good benefits! Someone to FINALLY get a Winamp skin.

My logos are up on the site. What do you guys think of my WRX one? Guys, don't forget to post the logos on the logo site and to than Tony for the awesome editor!! (thx Tony)

Oh and BTW, I'm not fortunate enough to own a Ferarri, but my father in law has a 328 GTS and there is no point in have a stereo in that thing. It is only for Sunday drives and just listening to the engine purrrrrrrrr is all I need. It is a low mile car, so if it was used for touring, I'm sure my opinion would change.

Yes, I accidentally did link the urls :|

Anyway, The pontiac logo with GTP supercharged under it would be nice...

Is there a specific icon-editing program for the Empeg? I wouldn't mind doing some of my own.

Why yes there is! In fact, you need it to upload the logos to your empeg. IT is an aweeome little program. I use that and Paint (that comes with Windows software. You can even preview the logos in real size. I don't have a link for it, but you may want to do a search or check RioCar.org. You need it anyway!

With our logo count geting so high, can we categorize them into "auto" "music" "cartoons" etc.?

They already are. I suppose I can hack in a quick filter one of these days, and also add some more categories (since so many logos still fall into "Other")

Consider it bumped up on my priority list.

Thanks Drakino! And thank you for offering the site too! I don't thnk you get enough credit for it sometimes!

I thought they WERE once organized, but since the format change months ago, who do I browse by category? (or did you just get done saying you plan on working on that?) [Brad, get to bed]

Drakino. Ya thanks for the site, i am thinking about making a site similar to it, with some more stuff on it, and was curious if i could use alot of the infomation including the logos, other than my own, i would i have to get permission from others to do so, i was going to almost clone your site and add a few things into mine that i feel yours is lacking, or maybe help you with yours, if you wouldnt mind.. any input would be great.

I wish I could get more detail in.

I'll work on the Dr Pepper one...

I had a car that could bet 110bhp/litre it had about 135bhp/litre which was great but it was only 0.996 litres. but that was in a car that was only 750Kg.

OK, OK, 355 has atmospheric engine (OTOH, the record holder at the other extreme, your big floating thing, doesn't )

Er, I assume that Charade's 135bhp/l were with a little help from a turbo, right?

Actually, now that I think about it, my 2CVs had almost 50bhp/l, and that was as far from high-performance engine as it gets....

Okay alot of help from a turbo it took up almost as much room as the engine. One nutter has managed to get over 230 out of it.

i have never worked out what you get per litre out of the big floaty things but i imagine it is pretty piss poor and that is with the help of a turbo or two. but as our american friends say there ain't no substitute for cubes. It just happens to be cubic yards in my case.

My next ship is going to be steam powered next time but the cargo is fun part this time. LNG liquified Natural Gas carried at about 186 centigrade below zero damn cold.

The old sierra cosworths used to be tweaked madly - there were road legal ones with 650bhp from 2.0l. Ok, the engines didn't last long between rebuilds, but 325bhp/l on a road car is quite mad!

Steam turbine, I guess? What does it use as fuel?

He, I allways imagine those huge round LNG tanks as having a fuse at the top, like cartoon bombs I don't think I would feel completely comfortable on such a ship...
