New cambelt, completely different engine note!?

Amazed at the difference in sound that being a couple of teeth out makes.

If you are wearing headphones, turn the volume down a lot.

I think they're thinking you have put it out of timing rather than the other way round like you detailed previously somewhere

fathead431 · 28th March 2015, 20:30

Ahh, no it's timed correctly now. the old belts were WAY out!

OddSox · 28th March 2015, 20:59

It looks great and all gut fun..How long do the tyres last with a camber like that?..

fathead431 · 28th March 2015, 21:01

Um, about 6-8k I think - still got some life in them now. camber doesn't kill tyres, wrongly set toe in/out does!

I think you need to ditch the quiet pack and fit a sport exhaust lol

Great car and an interesting perspective on the blinged up side of what most members would regard as a sedate marquee
