I have a small request for you. I live outside St. Louis, and therearen't many RB's around here from what I can tell. This may sound alittle strange, but do you have any means of recording (audio) whatyour car sounds like? i.e. Laptop + cheap microphone + windows soundrecorder?

In case you were wondering, I'm planning on doing an RB swap into my S13, either an RB20 or RB25. Almost defenaitely not an RB26 (not enough $$$).

I'm sorry if this sounds really weird, but I've never heard an RBseries engine, and I'm told that it's the most awesome thing with yourpants on (well, there was that time with my friend's FD3S...).

If you are able to do this, there are three things I would like to hear. 1. Recorded in the engine bay (you will probably need some help with this) 2. Recorded from the interior 3. Recorded from a little behind the car

I would just like to hear the car revving up to wherever you arecomfortable with, a few times in each of these places. I would alsolike to hear a little blow-off (teehee).

Again, I'm sorry if this is really weird and out-of-my-place to ask,but I need to know.

And no, I'm not crazy.

Thanks for your time,Phil

There have been several videos posted with sound on this forum. Try searching on "video" or "movie" instead of sound.

And yes, they do sound good, seemingly regardless of the exhaust system you choose.

This fills most of what you are looking for minus the bypass... hope this helps.

Just wanna say, thanks for all your help. I found out exactly what I needed to know, the comparisons to the Supra TT was very insightful. I can't wait to get my RB - now the question is RB20 or RB25?

But I'll look into that when I get a little closer to having the $$$ to do the swap.

Thanks again, guys.
