Neighbor calling the cops due to "car shaking ther windows" - Page 5 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

re: mine is a BRZ not FRS but that shouldn't matter.

I got the phone call while we were eating dinner and they want me to take the day off from work tomorrow so they can come to the house and do the sound check then I can bring the car into the pd maintenance garage so they can put it on the lift to confirm that it's stock. I said that's unacceptable and I need to be at work 60 miles away by 9am but my needs are apparently meaningless in this situation, it's all about the old folks making the complaints and I need to accommodate them. Not gonna happen. I called the boss but he's out of town until Sunday so if I'm not there we will have a dozen employees standing on the sidewalk and the store will be closed. Wonder how this is going to end up...

Why is it that retired people with nothing better to do seem to run the show? Oh and before anyone asks, no my wife can't take care of it because we are having a new septic tank installed tomorrow so she has to be home.

Ha. As I hit submit the capt called and I can take care of this on Tuesday, my next weekday off when their garage is open. Frustrating but better than the alternative.

I roll up old wrx floor mats into a cylinder/cone shape and shove them into my exhaust and pull them out once im outside my neighborhood.

That's unreal....but my baked goods suggestion still stands as an alternative

Just leave it, you have no law for noise pollution. I wish the laws in California are that relax. As for you neighbor Even if you make car less noisy the neighbor won't notice because the neighbor focus on your car.

Get a lawyer. Dont cancel or anything unless a lawyer advises such, but you need representation. How are they going to know it's stock? They'll possibly have to start taking panels off. And you've received no ticket at this point I presume? I'd at least get a clear idea what they're after and where this will go when it turns out the setup is stock.

I've had passive aggressive spats with neighbors before, they're horrible. Made me hate that house for no good reason (they divorced and subsequwntly abandoned thwir house... But that bad feeling didn't leave.)

Stay calm. Good luck.

Your story gets more fanciful every time you make a new post. Just saying.

My wife says my FR-S with TRD exhaust wakes our toddler. Oh well, it had the TRD exhaust from the beginning so I can't swap back to "stock".

That's whatever I think when I hear someone with an obnoxiously loud exhaust.

I wonder if the cops would of pulled him over if he was on a Harley? Kinda fucked up how they can be twice as loud but we can't! Get a turbo and put a muffler on it. Turbos will quiet down the exhaust a lot. Not saying you don't already know that.

texasbound972 · 01-02-2015, 09:59 PM

What time in the morning do you start your car? I'd say it's a fucking alarm clock for the neighborhood lol. This is my current setup. FT86 JDL turbo with 3" Full Exhaust D2: [ame]http://youtu.be/uEnSkaroPqw[/ame]
Old setup FR-S Berk Exhaust Cold Start: [ame]http://youtu.be/azHcNOtbiAw[/ame]

texasbound972 · 01-02-2015, 10:00 PM

Still don't know how the cops weren't called on me or the neighbors asking me to be more quiet.
I normally leave at 430 am and sometimes 3am
