Ive just been pondering how to make an a-series engine quieter... apart from the obvious exhaust and air filter. What else could be done to decrease its noise output?

Yes, because the 2.76 diff makes it sooo slow it barely manages to drive by at all! On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:
Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:
Yep I agree with TD........ |

Candic's MPi drives beautifully on it's standard engine, box and final drive. Quick enough to upset a few of the GTi boys in the process around town and the twist lanes of the Cotswolds.
