Was out in a friends roadsport which has a 2L duratec with 420 cams but not lightened flywheel. It has a ford 5 speed box (doesnt touch tunnel walls) and open BMW diff. That car had almost no NVH, no chattering on over run, silky smooth and very fast. The lightened flywheel is the root of the chattering and the open diff the rest of the solution. Thats a good road setup, might be a little limited on track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ainsley Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Have you taken a drive in a car exactly like yours, and if so, was it as noisy as yours ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris SSR400 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Mines incredibly noisy (looking at you Titan LSD!) but back when I purchased a 7 the one bit of advice that stuck with me was expect everything to constantly sound like its broken.. 🤣 Of course this doesn't stop me over thinking every sound and over checking everything all the time. The more 'race car' you go the more you have to expect the rawness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all wear ear plugs don’t we? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWMBO had a good laugh at my expense a couple of weeks ago when she had to dig around with a pair of tweezers in my ear to extract an ear plug which was inserted just a bit too far.

Ainsley Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Reminds me of the day I told my brother ants had a funny smell. He sniffed one and that was the last we saw of it 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
