I was digging through some old files on the computer this evening, and came
across something that really makes me miss driving my old Scirocco. It's a
sound clip I recorded just by placing a small tape recorder on the passenger's
seat. The clip is pretty short - it starts with me at rest at the intersection
of French Cross Road and Route 9, and then pulling out onto Route 9 and winding
through the first 4 gears. It was many years ago, but as I recall, the reason
I did this was to document how she sounded after a few modifications. This would
have been shortly after I swapped to a big valve cylinder head with g-grind
camshaft, replaced the ignition distributor with the european version (more
aggressive spark curve) and replaced the factory 4-into-1 exhaust manifold and
downpipe with a less restrictive, 4-into-2-into-1 manifold/downpipe. I have
to admit, she sounds even better than I remember.
Here is the recording, in WAV
format.
