Alias Posted September 29, 2002 Share Posted September 29, 2002 Could anyone give me an idea as to the standard noise output of a 1400SS. Looking at doing an airfield day, but the noise limit is 100db at 4500rpm. Car is completely standard (no throttle bodies or 4-2-1 exhausts). Thanks Rob.

F355GTS Posted September 29, 2002 Share Posted September 29, 2002 Rob you'll be fine, probably 96 or so, in any event remember to lie about the redline (6k is always good!) Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodrog Posted September 29, 2002 Share Posted September 29, 2002 Should be fine, but it all depends on the meter, the meter person, and conditions. My 1400 SS has been tested at both 91 db, and 99 db, by the same trackday company, at different airfields! Nodrog N910 RPM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alias Posted September 29, 2002 Author Share Posted September 29, 2002 thanks chaps - application form will be in the post tomorrow. My first excursion in my car on an area with no speed limits 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F355GTS Posted September 29, 2002 Share Posted September 29, 2002 Rob good place to start, a nice relaxed day on a good 2.4 mile circuit layout...see you there Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Posted September 30, 2002 Share Posted September 30, 2002 Rob, what power is your 1.4? I ask because I thought mine was 110bhp but I am told (by Egger Lawson) that it would be 128bhp as a Supersport. (Mine sounds loud and goes...fast).

mark4newman Posted September 30, 2002 Share Posted September 30, 2002 1.4ss approx 128bhp...but you only get that at the top of the rev range. Su77on Se7enS M100EOW.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alias Posted September 30, 2002 Author Share Posted September 30, 2002 Roland, Most people who have 1400SS tend to get between 128bhp - 132bhp. I've never had mine on a rolling road so don't know. It does run better on Optimax, though. The main thing to getting the performance out of the 1400SS is to get the 6 speed box - it really does make the car. Mark - looking forward to seeing you there.
