How do people get on with drive by noise testing in track? After getting mine up and running on its throttle bodies I'm looking to book a day and looked to Combe to notice they operate a 87.5db drive by? I know a lot of people visit Combe so how do you all get on or is the driv by at Combe a new thing?

92-94 static but never done a travkday yet that do a drive by test. Reason for asking is after reading some of the issues people have at places like Bedford when there under static limit but then get pulled on a drive by

Well that's before it was bodied but can't imagine the static would change but guessing the drive by will be a lot louder now

My ITB engine had a static less than it's drive-by. I tripped the 98db drive-by at Brands once although that might have also been popping from the exhaust.

Mines around 98dB static, and apparently I was tripping the drive by monitor at blyton which I guess was set to 105dB as that's what the day limit was meant to be.
None of the marshals said anything to me though, I only found out they were moaning about it the other evening when my mate told me LOL

Bedford are particularly militant to be fair, mine is high 80's static with a standard engine and magnex exhaust and v quiet on driveby so i'd assume you would be ok unless your bodies are really really loud?
