does anyone have or can someone who believes they have a properly working 924 n/a sound files of what it sounds like inside and out side of their car? just so maybe we can start some sort of refernece point for newbies (like myself) to figure out what the engine is supposed to sound like when we are done messing with it... i always feel like its not running right, but i have no point of reference!

Thats a good idea...
anyone up to the task ? I, for one, would love to hear who has the smoothest idle and the best response

Ok, here it is to start with:

When I bought it
with new exhaust

OK Peter_in_Au here are the details I know:

'80 125 Hp Euro/RoW version
No cat

1.
No primary muffler
Big loud final muffler

2. replaced with some italian made system starting from the primary muffler

great idea. Of course every 924 is going to sound different.

My '79 Aussie NA with no cat and big exhaust (courtesy of the previous owner) sets off car alarms as I drive by and probably sounds very different to a US car with standard exhaust and full pollution gear.

Still, if you know what mods have been done it could be very useful.

bugger, mine sounds very sick in comparision. Lets hope the guys give it a good going over on Monday

Who wants to tell me why I dont get sound anymore ..since I reinstalled windows I dont have sound and my dvd doesnt work this thing is loaded for sound I think the drivers are not showen up in auto.exec and sys. files or
the bios something like that I cant figure it out..
should get it fixed I miss my sound big time.
couldnt hear it Pete .Its not goin nowhere though

[ltgland]

"since I reinstalled windows"

What version? If its 98, it should be plug and pray, unless your sound card is real old. Ususally these things work by magic.

"I dont have sound and my dvd doesnt work this thing is loaded for sound I think the drivers are not showen up in auto.exec and sys. files"

The autoexec shouldnt matter unless you need DOS sound. My puter dont have DOS sounds ever since I rebuilt it.


Right click on "my computer" -> properties -> "device manager"

then "sound, video and game controllers"
all there?

also "control panel" -> multimedia
make sure all them devices look correct

[url=http://shadowboy.2y.net/~spam/mp3/Car%20Sounds/obin's%20924.mp3]here[/url] is my 924 (from when my friend owned it) recorded from outside the car at idle. no cat (shhh.. do not tell the authorities ), and a loud muffler (couldn't tell you the brand).

its pretty loud so the tape was saturated/distorted so i apologize for the lack of sound quality. i was not present for this recording.

here is the same car from inside. probably a couple weeks later. i was present at this time. nevermind the rattling.. shifter was rattling.

[Alex Roy]

Hey Shadowboy,

I have to give your friend a hand.....to sacrifice his tape recorder by dragging it behind the car while driving like that just to get a recording!

Just kidding

hey guys and gals,

anybody else wants to introduce us to the sound of a (properly) running 924?

C'mon, all you need is a tape recorder or a video camera, record it, plug it in to the soundcard, save it as wav or mp3 and upload it somewhere.

I wanna hear some more 924!

[Lizard]

well I will try to get a sound file up soon for you i have headers and then straight 2" pipe back with a 40 series flowmaster muffler i like it but it is loud, and i dont have enough deadening matterial up front so i hear everything from the engine sounds nice but am deaf between that and my 12 inch blaupunkt overdrive

I put a few MP3's on this website:
http://www.geocities.com/knarfartanisa/index.html

The exhaust is pretty much stock except for the fact that the catalytic converters' insides are long gone and the muffler section is an ANSA (not sure if that's stock). The rest is stock - I don't currently have the boost control in service.

Some was recorded from outside the car, some from the engine compartment. Some normal driving, some windouts to 6000 rpm. Download and enjoy!

[Smoothie]

Looks like the data transfer limit on that website is getting exceeded. Once that happens, they shut it down for an hour, then I guess someone gets to download until it's exceeded again. Sorry, pretty low-tech. Anyone know where to get some free webspace with a high data xfer limit? In the mean time, I'll look around for some myself.

[Porschephile]

Mine sounds like the first one, but I have stock exhaust...it's kinda loud...like, loud enough to set off the car alarm on one of the rice boy's acura's...
