David Gander Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Maybe a bit off piste, but has anybody had the Incredible Hulk syndrome trying to drive a road car on track with the bl@@dy crash helmet making your chin rest on your chest as the helmet is jammed up on the roof lining? Put me off ever trying again to drive on a race track! David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not tall and when driving with lowered bucket seats on side mounts (so a much lower SRP) I still find headroom quite restricted with a helmet on. I'm always amazed people like Longman didn't have to drive cabrios!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phill Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 What dB is a standard sc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have baffles in the twin tail pipes and a spare set of bolt on extra baffles if needed (not needed to use them yet). I will also put a standard air filter cover back on.

Sorry for the delay in replying, needed to find some time to upload some vid clips. So first, pic of the ugly muffler cans I had to put on to get past the static noise test. I never made them to last on track, just to get me through the test and after a couple of sessions they were getting a bit rattley! So parked well away from the noise tester and unbolted them. Did most of the evening without them on and got no problems with the drive by meters, what a fiasco the noise testing is on aircooled 911s. It was worth the faff though, had a good time on track and was able to time sessions to get a clear run most of the time. A couple of gratuitous pics... A couple of vid clips...
