Managed to set some guys car alarm off when i booted my SRi whilst trying out my induction kit i had just fitted. didnt think it would be quite that loud!!! :twisted:

i thought it was very doubtfull that I set it off but it was in an empty street at about 10pm. There was nothing else round but it started goin off just as i passed it.
Went past it agen like 10 mins later and it dint go off
Maybe im just hoping its my nova!!!!
My gripe for the day: Sheffield is a pain up the arse to drive round!!

Most likely you past quite quickly and were close to the car and the disturbed air shook the car a little. Cant see it being the induction noise coz the one on our gsi aint that loud.

lol yea it is quite funny.

Mine's quite loud, being a straight through twin 5". Was on a high level on a multistory car-park the other week, so i drove past realy close to all the parked cars and kept the revs up high on the way down, and just about every car with an alarm went off.

It was funny, as the security guard downstairs was going up to have a look, as i got to the bottom level, you could hear sirens from all the levels above! lol

Very mature of me it was. :?

multistory carparks are good fun, last some old man told to but some silences back on the car had a right go at me. He didnt seem to understand that i already had four on.

We went for a drive through central London last Xmas with another forum..

My mates Tvr Tuscan S with race cans and another friends 400hp cossie gave it some from the lights, and you could hear all the shop alarms going off 1 by 1 as they gunned it up the road.. was awesome!

I've got powerflow and i've set off 2 car alarms before. One in a multi storey car park and one booting it up the highstreet which is very steep. The sound sorta resinates between the shops/houses either side cause you notice more noise from inside the car aswell.
