For your listening pleasure!
Well, I couldn't help myself!
The engine, suddenly, has become noticeably looser and more urgent -- I can now play some tunes with it! However, it's still, obviously, a very green engine, but I think you'll agree after listening to this four-minute clip that, despite its freshness, it still makes some nice music! Consider this the first in a series of clips. http://www.holscope.com/74Carrera2.7/2.7_symphony.mp3 If anyone's interested in how I recorded the sound, I gaffer-taped a Sennheiser shotgun mic to the whale-tail rubber, and then connected the mic to an old Radio Shack tape recorder via an extension cable that I fed out through the right rear-quarter window. As you'll hear, the wind buffets the mic at high speed, so I need to do some experimenting with the next recording to make sure the engine, and only the engine, is completely audible over 120km/h.

Matt!
I see you're still struggling with that artificially low rev limit. Imagine when you can really rev that puppy out! Get some more miles up, quick!  ------------------ Adam Chaplin 1976 911 2.7 Euro My 911 Website Pelican Gallery Page Porsche Owners Gallery Page |

Adam,
I know! I only hit 7,000rpm twice during that clip! To think, there'll be another 600rpm for me to explore once I've done over 5,000kms. Scary. |

Well now you've done it. I have to take the cover off my car and go for a ride! Sounds great!

BTW that sennheiser makes the realistic tape recorder sound real good. What's next... a Neuman in the engine compartment

Rstoll,
Putting the Sennheiser in the engine bay is not a bad idea! It'd sure stop the buffeting! |
