Maaaaaaaan I wish our lancers were RWD

[palimak1]

they post the events on the barbagallo raceway website

there was a point where I was pretty much as close as you can get to the corner, the car backfired and absolutely wrecked my ears

[Leez]

Haha I remember when I was at the Malaysia F1 race last year and I stupidly took my ear plugs out for the race start because I wanted to remember the sound. I swear my ears must have internally bled for days after that...

[palimak1]

f1 is crazy, I'm yet to watch it live

the v8s are pretty loud tho

[Dire]

Loudest thing I've ever heard is the top fuel dragsters at kwinana.
They were so loud I couldn't watch them properly because my eyes would shut instinctively when they launched I was a bit younger then though. I'd like to go again one day...

Don't know what F1 is like but the V8s are pretty tolerable, its just the gunshot on the gear changes that really drives you nuts after a while (and the new mercs also scream, a little painful)

[Leez]

Permanent hearing damage occurs at 127dB, a gunshot is 133dB, and an F1 car is 147db

Apparently an NHRA top fuel dragster is 163dB!!! But throw together 20+ F1 cars all going balls out at the same time... I have a video I took of it, I'll see if I can find it. Also I was in the grandstands so the sound echoed and reverberated

[palimak1]

My car is probably close to 127db atm....

[Leez]

Hahaha what exhaust do you have?

Currently compressing the video to load onto Youtube.

[palimak1]

lol I got the xforce exhaust but with full 2.5" straight piping right back to the headers.. I do have the RPW 4-2-1's and a high flow cat but thats pretty much it

[Leez]

Make a garage or build thread! I want to see all of your mods and more pictures

Here's the video!

Skip to 0:55 for the start. Excuse the video quality, I compressed it heaps so it wouldn't take so long to upload. Sound should still be good though. You can see the guy in front cringing

[Neo]

i'm loving your youtube name "aaronismoist"

[palimak1]

pretty hot name LOL

I have a thread with lots of pictures and most of my mods but I've done a bit since then and haven't been bothered to update it

http://clubcj.net/viewtopic.php?t=13553

the latest pictures in one of the other post I made on there is pretty much what my car looks like

[Leez]

Hahaha yeah it's my name for pretty much everything I wonder if I can change my name here to 'aaronismoist'...

@Jordan I forgot I had seen your thread! Cool pictures man

Top fuels are like a bomb going off, except for 4-5 seconds instead of a fraction of a second

That video doesn't even do it justice


F1 has never really interested me, its too precise or something. Can't really relate to it either, as fully sick as my lancer is

[Leez]

Now I NEED to watch a top fuel race

Yeah F1 has really gone downhill lately. With the introduction of KERS, DRS, crappy Pirelli tyres, and continual move to smaller engines. Quite sad really. Considering not following the sport in 2014 as they will have V6 engines :S Just reminds me of a bloody Camry. They are killing the sport. When Mark Webber leaves, I leave. I seriously don't care about them wanting to become greener and mindful of cost. The pinnacle of motorsport should not become a series of $100,000 hybrid cars.

Bring back the V10s and scrap artificial overtaking like KERS and DRS and I will be fully interested again.

I've been more interested in Moto2, MotoGP and GP2 a lot more lately. Such good racing
