I have been informed that I need to comply with a noise test. For my mini gti motor, I have a hotdog and a muffler (straight through, steel wool packed type) Will it pass or do I need to add some more mufflers/hotdogs. Or do I just stick a restrictor in the xhaust and pull it out later...? How much do these other tests cost? Brake, Noise, emmissions etc. Thanks |

You may do, for the test anyway........... After that...."Mini's didn't come fitted with mufflers, Orrificer" |

I would think that you should be OK Do you know anyone in the music or ICE game? They might be able to lend you a dB meter to get a reasonably accurate measurement. |

Are you planning on running on a dyno? You can check the speedo then. |

AWD et al, I am running 12x5's on mine, given that that will obviously throw out the starlet speedo what is involved in recalibrating? Also I am running 2.5" straight thru (no hotdogs etc) and a straighthru muffler (Lukey) hope that gets through? |

Ministar, You should be OK with a straight through set-up. I once did this on a 1600 (Datto) it had a CA18ET in it and i never had an issue with it. Suprisingly it was a very quiet car. Daniel |

You have a digital speedo input? (i.e. not cable drive) There is a digital interceptor which you can adjust to whatever speed you need. Will look up the details & post here, as I have already thought about it - may need one myself. If it's cable drive, most auto sparkies can change the cable drive gears to correct it. |

The Jaycar one was the unit I was looking at (as featured on Autospeed). But I'm not sure I will need it. I am running 186/65 Pirellis on 14" mags. Not sure how that compares with the standard rims it came out with. I believe the Australian standard only requires speedos to be +/-10%, so I have a fairly wide margin to work in. |

kinda sort.. do all speedos have the same ratio? I thought that they were more then likely different. |

Different makes/models/spec level cars all can have different speedo drive ratios. I posted the rolling diameter link up so that you could check how far out your speedo will be if you compare your new rims against the stock factory rims/tyres for the suzuki. I believe you can get away with being 10% out & still pass inspection (but don't quote me on that) but of course if the speedos are never perfect from new, and if it was already 5% high you would now read 15% high but if it was already 5% low you would now only read 5% high |
