Nothing can drown out such a small power band :wink:

Oh yeah, forgot about the max torque at 2.5 K lol.

But at 1500, when it boosts, it's all alright.
Short power band is one of the best things about a diesel, all that go in such a small amount of time!

I like putting my foot down in the mid range and chuckling at the boy racers as they wonder why a small diesel hatchback has just driven away from them :biggrin:
I've never driven a diesel but the low down torque is impressive (peugeot 306 Hdi or something like that)
but, i don't think that can compensate for the tractor sound, and the black smoke and soot coming out of the rear.
but, i don't really care about mpg and stuff like that, considering I'm a student i don't use my car to commute or long journeys - just popping down to the shop :biggrin:

when my exhaust had a hole in it - thanks again pghstochaj for your advice :smile: - i couldn't bear driven around with a loud exhaust. Had to fix it quickly to return to a nice but at times rattling sound of my 1.4 fiesta :cool:

Minardi, your at Keele!?

What Halls you in, or you living off campus? I am a 2nd year UG studying Geog and History...

anyways, to make this kinda on topic, loud exhausts sound cack unless they are attached to a Chevy V8.
