Today I passed the noise test. I had 78.4dBA and the limit is 85dBA.

Yesterday evening I tested the car and it was still quite quick from 50km/h in 2:nd gear when I stepped on it. So I adjusted the carb linkage a bit more. The result of a new rest drive was that my Cobra is now slower than my old Volvo.

With Car chemistry triple discs in the collector and inserts I mad to put at the turnouts, the car barely made a peep. A 50 ft in idle could not even hear the car. Couldn't wait to get that stuff off. Congrats on passing inspection.

I used all the stuff shown in the pictures I posted earlier. Plus I adjusted the carb linkage as much as possible. The carb barely opened when I stepped on it. The 2:nd stage on the carb was disconnected.
