I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Ringing Noise

Post by akhlaq768 » October 09, 2005

Apart from the first gear, I can hear an annoying ringing noise when the rev meter is between 2 and 2.5 rpm

It starts straight away when it hits 2 rpm clearly can be heard until 2.5 rpm

What can it be?

Could be something as simple as a loose heat shield.

Check the headshields near the oil pan and the one under the front seats.

One thing I noticed today was as the noise appeared at 2 rpms - I slightly decreased the accelarator and then applied it again, The noise disappeared straight away

I had my heatshield up front come loose and it did the same thing. At 3k it buzzed then stopped a little above 3k. Annoying as hell.

That's why I'm saying that's what it is.
