The loud pedal makes me smile!!!!

Post by Jordi » Thu Jun 13, 2013 10:24 pm

What more can i say. I've been "away"for almost 2 weeks at work.

Finally made it home for at least two days. The Zuk started first time and ticked over fine, then the fun part.

It was only on B roads not exactly challenging terrain but the loud pedal made me smile like a kid!

I LOVE MY ZUK, IT'S AWESOME!!!!

I've heard a few rumours that mine is quite loud.

I think the 1.6 is a bit louder. Its different driving it under load compared to just revving it too.

Especially when you let the engine brake.

Mines about right I think, not that loud and not raspy, just deep and throaty.

Cherry bomb makes a world of difference...go for it!

(blipping the throttle in a tunnel is always a good idea)
If it ticks over...leave it
