Hi John
at what percentage of revs did you test the decibels at?

Quick sound check for Chris 5db down is good. And one worrying drip although the top clamp pinched up a bit more

That was at idle. Inside the pop was noticibly quieter considering it was mostly in the garage

What carpet did you use John? I'm going to replace mine soon and just getting ideas

I get my carpet from Mark (Pop Browns), it has a rubber backing, very strong, cut it to shape, drop it in, job done. No glue necessary, easy to remove when needed.

Thanks Ian. That's what I have currently. Just looking at options really

Decent felt underlay is a must to keep any carpet from premature wear. I bought from Martrim, a proper Wilton - more expensive - but so much better carpet.

Fancy a ride in the passenger seat ?

Street Weekend 4
Whilst you were away at the isle of wight, i held what's left of the fort ( thanks for all the lovely pictures on FB ) and got my prep done on the pop. It was last minute as i was on the 3rd lot of accepted participants
2 local mates and a pal off there's from Brecon way made the trip with me, i say made, but actually the just followed where ever i went
Supposed 2 runs at Santa Pod on the Thursday failed due to rain, so we then went on too the first check point at the British motor cycle museum at Coventry, the on to the Humber Bridge as the next check point.
Friday saw us at Elvington for 2 runs at the track and on too Sutton Moor and Billy Bob's milk parlour for 2 more check points, Saturday saw us at a drying Melbourne raceway for another 2 runs and on to Matlock Bath.
Heading back to Santa Pod on Sunday we found some dry weather and another 2 runs this time over the 1/4 mile, the other's were 1/8ths and we collected our medals for completion.

Loving the Pop and teardrop

Would love a camper like that, but need to fabricate a tow bar etc.

Looks like a fun thing to do, and medal too! You must wear it at the Supernats!
