    My car

    I did a little recording of my car today, It's not the best it's the PC Mic at the window as it drives past down the driveway, I should have borrowed my brothers video camera.
    Anyway it's stock as a rock and it's the first time i have thought about bringing it on here, I love the sound this little thing gives, It's not loud at all but sounds good enough for a cheap $35 part.
    Word of warning turn your sound up full it's the only way to here it. It doesn't start straight away but be patient.
    And the little screech was i hit the brakes and left front locked up on some slippery bricks.
    Tell me what you think of the sound for such a cheap little part.

    On other news also, I finally done the Fuel Regulator today was harder then i expected, Done spark plug leads oil change, And my mum went to bingo today she rang me from bingo to tell me how the car was running She said it felt sharper off the mark and idles better now more smoother, All i need is to fix the tail-shaft and it will be right.

    I need a new Tail-shaft, It's split in the middle it's gone I have been told to take care now no hard take offs and be extra careful in 1st and 2nd as it might snap Even a chance it might do it on the freeway.
    One good thing is he told me i would feel it from time to time in the tranny in gears, So i was not long ago saying it's not the best tranny in the world it can be a touch harsh at times, But never Miss's gears and is always on the mark perfect, He told me it's the Tail-shaft that is giving me that feeling Thats good news.
    $390 is cheaper then i expected. Took him 30 seconds to spot the problem. I'm hoping i can have it done in the next 2 weeks just to be safe and not let it go to long, Take 30min to do.

    I'm very lucky compared to you mate mine is so minor.
    I'm glad you think it's OK not bad for a little elcheapo. I need to save up for a full cat back redback exhaust and cat converter now. Then it will be louder, It's still to quite

    I hit the brakes hard and only the left front locked up shit brakes

    Some family friends of mine had air bag suspesnion in a magna for a laugh he used to be able to make it bounce....it was cool until one gave up the ghost and at 3k a side he promtly removed the other and lived with out it bouncing (which seemed to be these airbags only use they didnt really raise it that much).
    Lifts heavy things and hits hard......also eats as much as 2/3 people and sleeps 10 hours a day!

    I only have been in a car that has cement suspension

    I got a closer better sound of the car up close, But to keep the size down and to get it on it didn't work i have to think harder

    There's a stretch of the Monaro highway that's got some funny ruts so if you tap the throttle you nearly get some bounce going

    There is a bridge not far from here that if you hit it to fast gets you airborne.

    Yeah i know same with me up full blast, I got a new one much closer but it's just not that good with a PC Mic, And i can't get them to be smaller when i try and set them up here.

    This bridge sucks a couple of lives have been lost it's a real shocker, It's next to midway in sunshine/north in Melbourne.

    See how this one goes i think i have killed some of the quality

    In this the Mic isn't to far away from the car, Can anyone here 300,000km at the start for about 15sec till it settles down Alar VT II Gen3
