There is NO actual legal noise limit as noise (in db) varies with temp, altitude, humidity etc etc....and you cant imply one noie regulation for all atmospheric conditions, its impossible and unfair. BUT, the police...

    its only a 4cly engine, you sure its a TWIN turbo, i thought they only had one....and they aint great handlers...the MK1 MR2 with the 4ag-ze engine (supercharged) is a far better handler and IMHO far better looking...but im fairly partial to MK1 anything LOL.

    fitting a back box will do nowt........nadda...nothing....and as ROb says, it can leas to a loss through poor design, even if its the SAME bore. i have tested most of teh system s on the 172 and only real gains froma full system are a max of about 2-3BHP....something you will NEVER feel...

    FAO of K-tec

    i said they werent doin CARBON FIBRE engine covers. Last time we spoke and David come on here, there was not enough interest. Prices were high though, but what do you expect, it is carbon fibre after all.....but again, its an engine cover......?~?~?

    abs warning light

    on the 172 (not sure about the smaller engined varients) the ABS lights comes on sometimes if the wire inder the seat has a bad connection or no connection at all. Most times we replace the wire and all is fine. worth a check.

    Problems! Now what to do

    no..... engine will probably sit higher, grafting in the ENTIRE loom will be a job from hell, mounts will need to be fabricated or modded, gearbox mightbe longer, driveshafts might not fit hubs...... theoretically, anything can be done.....BUT.....the cost will be high and alot of research...
