I've had my TF 135 now for a little over a month. Its done about 1500 miles. Ever since I bought it however, I've noticed that the engine is at it loudest at 3000 rpm. Makes
no difference whether its in 4th or 5th gear.
Above 3000 rpm the car get noticable quieter.
The thing is that at 3000 rpm its travelling
at about 70 mph. This means that to get a
quieter drive, I have to travel at well below 70 or well above it, which isn't convienient when the police are about. It sounds as a car would if it had a hole in its exhaust but I know this is not the case. Any ideas??. Anyone else notice it. ?
