...with my exhausts.

Despite having my Diablos on for a while, I've on heard them on recordings or from inside the car.

Now I loved the sound as soon as I heard them the first time, but I guess I've got used to it.

Today I took the car into the dealership for an oil service and to check out an errant DSC activation*.

As I sat down to my watery latte and very dry oat shortcake (muffins/cupcakes have just arrived though), sitting next to a nice Fezza, I heard something meaty start up outside, grumble along for a couple of minutes and then start accelerating on the dual carriageway outside the dealership.

It sounded bloody lovely, and I admit I was a bit jealous :thumbsdown:

It was only when it came past the window did I realise it was mine being road tested for the DSC error :thumbsup:

Here's the Fezza:


*My normal, fast right-handlers have seen the DSC light flickering away and the car feel like it's braking slightly. Doesn't happen at higher speeds on left-handers, so must be a spring/shock/mount/bush causing the DSC to activate.

Hope they get it sorted for you :thumbsup:
The DSC thing isn't that bad, as it only happens with moderately high cornering forces - but I prefer corners to straights, and it's obviously something not right as it's been fine on the same corners, at higher speeds, with the same tyres, in colder/wetter weather.

It's not something that would stop me using it as a daily driver, just wouldn't want to take it oh the 'Ring or a hoon :P
