sound meter (if anyone wants a noise test doing at the show)

 

 

That would be usful! I'd like to know what mine is

On a scale of 1 to 10.......12

I'd at least like to know exactly how much I'm over the track day noise limits

ye of little faith!!! I'm clinging to the hope that the dB scale is logarithmic so basically without going into the equations it works out that for every 10 dB increased you need roughly 10 times more noise (sound pressure) than the previous dB reading.

 

that's why rain drops are around 40dB and is a gun is 120dB.....yet a gun is sooooo much louder than rain drops!

 

When you're up in the mid 90's dB (my last exhaust was 95dB), it take a hell of a lot more noise get up to the high 90's!! Most track day's ive seen are 98dB and I'm sure my exhaust isn't that much louder than before.....

 

.....well that's what I'm hoping anyway

So you can work out how big the socks must be to put up those pipes ?

Good news, dB scale is logarithmic.

Steve Johnston has very kindly lent his engine stand for the build, I shall bring it down Friday tea time

Kettle....coffee...milk....sugar....mugs (yes yes I know....there will be plenty of mugs)

Ah, ok, will not pack mine. Any other tools we need?

 

I've put the Head bolt Torx bits and a valve spring compressor in the Landy ready to bring.

straps for engine hoist come to mind, dont want to be seen using a bit of old rope ?
