They're not vicious at all
It's just when I reach 90 and it starts making this high pitched buzz sound that fluctuates in volume (Like a sin wave)
It's coming from the rear of the car so I'm guessing it is the exhaust, I'll still have a goose at the engine mounts though
Cheers guys ^_^

OK! Got the car back from the garage today. Had the front and middle exhaust sections replaced, 'cos they was dicked. All is fine now, 'cept there's something vibrating that wasn't vibrating before and it's doing my fucking nut in... Still, "no vibrations" and "480" hardly ever appear in the same se...

Sounds like a lawnmower
Blah! So, my car is all running fine, I come off a roundabout and rev it a little high in 3rd, and it goes "Pkt!" Now it sounds like a lawnmower, putting away whenever I rev, (sounds fine at idle) It does have a split in the middle exhaust, but it sounds more like it's coming from the engine, which ...

Horn alarm?
Howdy I'd just finished replacing the bulb in my car's ('89 ES) headlight this morning , and when I opened my (unlocked) car, the horn sounded (continuous honk). I never got in the car, but shut the door So uh, it did it again when I opened it the 2nd time >.> Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone ...

I was driving home the other day with a range rover behind me, and we stopped at some lights and he actually dipped his headlights down to his sidelights while we waited the most curteous range rover driver /ever/ - of course, he's still a douchebag for driving a range rover in a suit on his own, wi...

Halogens?
My left bulb blew the other day so I'm replacing it over the weekend...
Anyways, as much as I hate driving at cars with halogens, I was wondering how they look on the 480, if anyone has put any in yet? (and are they better to drive with?)
Sooo... yeah ;D

Funny vibratey noises?
Since I've started driving on the A50, I've been able to let rip a bit About a month ago, I noticed my car vibrated at around 90mph (the dash, everything) and it sounded rather horrid... if I went up to 100, it settled out OK and everything But then about a week ago I noticed it had started doing it...

Well I finally got round to getting the side panel things up, to discover that there were no cables under there. (Only the strip-type ones, and I figured they go through for the lights and such) Sooo, it looks like I'm gonna have to put my own wires in from the dash following the same line that the ...
