It's a 3-cylinder, right?

3-cylinder engines can actually sound pretty good, I guess it sort of mimics half of a flat-6.

You're right, I'd actually prefer that sound over a similarly sized I4. Then again, a BMW I3 would probably be a bit nicer than one out of a Metro.

You know how you live somewhere for awhile and you start to think people are cool. Then you find the one thing to ruin it all?

Just found that yesterday. A small pickup (I think it was a Toyota Tacoma) with a plackard that stated "$3.85 a gallon. Jew Bastards." I didn't have chance to catch it with a camera, but if you're near Tallmadge, OH, you might stumble upon it.
I grew up in that area, and that doesn't surprise me in the least.

I've done this with a few cheap cars. Hole in the exhaust? gently caress it, let the thing fall of (it did). A little 2.0 or whatever with an exhaust that ends where the cat should be sounds pretty gnarly at full throttle, and no-one can work out it's you.

The best trick is to pull up at a three-lane traffic light on the end lane with a cop on the far lane when there's someone in something chavvy or ricey in the middle. Then blip the throttle menacingly and watch the cops give the look of death to the hot hatch kiddies while not even noticing your anonymous beigemobile.

CA20 with open headers. Once we hooked up the rest of the exhaust it sounded a lot more bland :(

I dunno, I like some I4s. Especially when they get bigger than 2 litres and have some decent headers on them.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSsfUvHnDCY

Then again, I'm probably biased. I especially like the sound at idle, that sort of canal boat-like thing that I've only ever heard on uncorked V8s before, like the GT by Citroën and Zenvo ST1. Which is hilarious considering it's just a little 4-cylinder.

Not very many 2.2L I3s to compare it to, unfortunately. And this stays in the terrible poo poo thread because LOL French 4-cylinder sounding good.

I remember an old story about ancient Egyptians, that sometimes they would carve the face of their enemy into the bottom of their sandals so that with every step they took they could stomp on the one they hated.

A lot less than a drilled or slotted rotor would; since it's a drilled rotor, I don't think that he would notice at all.

I'm interested in how long it stays there, and if laser etching (I assume that's how it was done) caused the disc to develop any flaws.
