Hi. Another potential dumb question from me. I have noticed over the last week that when hitting around 80mph the sound of the car seems to get much deeper and it kind of thuds down the road, this thudding sort of shakes the car as well.
I have only had the car about a month but I do not recall this happening before. It could be road texture but I drive that road 2 times a day every day and not noticed it before. I get the feedback from around 4000 revs upwards. I have checked the tire pressures and I keep 32 at the front and 30 at the back.
Do any of you have an idea of what it could be? Is it just a trait of the car that I havnt zoned into until now or is it a well known problem? The deeper throaty sound is almost like the sound the car makes when the vtec comes into play, I'm hoping it's not the valves failing to close after flooring it for a bit and going back to normal revs........ I hope I havnt confused you lot too much from my explanation but if you could have a think that would be great . Thanks
