The US-market Volkswagen GTI comes with a "noise pipe" that brings engine noise from the turbo into the glovebox. Perhaps you could create something similar that brings engine noise into the passenger compartment acoustically, instead of trying to do it high-tech into the electronic audio...

How about you stop driving near busses and trailer trucks? That always could be a solution. :P In China? Ha ha ha. Why not convince them to keep away from me! :lol: . Performance exhaust! Welcome to SS :lol: Thought someone will mention exhausts :) Thanks for the welcome! :) Peugeots are loud enoug...

All: Thanks for the suggestions/advise :D mmm... :roll: I guess to 'force' adapt to dealing with down shifts in noisy environments, I've got to drive with loud music or ear plugs for a while... :lol: This might make me consult the Tacho more often and look for other indicative elements/develop other...

I would not want to drive at a speed (and location) where I couldn't glance at my tach, glance at my mirrors, sneeze, or blink without crashing into something.

Why would you need to launch while downshifting? that , above, refers to 'using car movement', n...

WoW, that was fast! :D I drive a Peugeot 307, 2.0L fuel http://www.cargurus.com/images/2009/10/17/03/42/2007_peugeot_307-pic-7422913258485163933.jpeg I guess I could use car movement as a guide at launching, and opt for clutch based launches (release to friction point before adding gas), but can't s...

Hi folks, It's been a few months since I started reading with much passion the topics in here :D Here's a subject that leaves me stunned, when ever I have to deal with it: I'd be at a red light next to a truck or a bus. Light goes green & time to launch. Due to the rev 'noise' of the truck/bus, ...
