Andrewr05 Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 I'm looking into dumped exhausts. My asshole neighbors keep calling the cops when I take the Z out for a spin. What I'll do is make the usual racket, and when the cops show up again, close the dumps and be like "its not that loud..." Sounds like you're the asshole waiting for the post now about your car being keyed Some people are just jerks and surprisingly I'm not talking about Onion. I doubt its louder than a Harley and if it is it most assuredly sounds better. I can't stand obnoxious exhausts... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure if he's beating it it will be loud, most cars would be...(unless he beats it everytime he takes it out...then I'm in the middle) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onion Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Its not louder than a Harley, and I've only ever taken the car out twice. They were short 5 minute spins around the block to get the car up to temp and to recharge the battery a little. I drove it like an old lady the first time, and the second time I did a first gear pull at 3/4 throttle. I've actually never taken the car past second gear at any speed, lol.

RayMark Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 Rejoice in youth onion, have fun! People anymore seeing someone elevate their heart rate can't stand it. But it's nothing they never did in their life? I'm surprised some neighbors haven't come over to look at your Z, to have a beer, and talk cars. Your Z is a pretty nice setup Holley carb, headers, and you know someone took the time to jet it right. It is better to keep your neighbors friends though, they can keep picking up the phone, and every time you drive you'll get pulled over for this & that. Or just flip the script and go introduce yourself saying how much you enjoy cars & hope it doesn't disturb you too much. If there are lots of little kids around, well um, well um...

Onion Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) Miami people are usually pretty rude, but surprisingly, I've got a couple of cool neighbors that wave and say hi when they see me in the garage working on the car. However, the front door ones have a bone to pick with my family for some reason. They've always been rude, cold, never say hi, never wave, nothing. Either way, the way things work on Miami is completely different from the real America. In Jacksonville, people are really friendly, welcoming, and I'm sure that people would be coming over to talk, but I've yet to see anything similar happen down here. I'm not going to waste my time on those front door fools, I'll keep doing my wrenching in the garage, I'll keep being nice to the other neighbors, and when I go back up to Jacksonville in 4 months, they won't have anything else to complain about. And thanks for the comments about the car. And for a more car oriented update, I nearly lit the damn thing on fire yesterday. I wired up a kill switch to the ignition coil, and hid the switch behind the dash. With the switch off, the car won't start. With the switch on, it starts and the load runs through the new wires, to the switch, and back to the coil and then follows its usual path. I gave the car the beans while in my driveway and after a couple WOT revs, my steering column started smoking. Going to have to pop it open, see what burned, and patch in some new wire tomorrow. Fun.
