    I’m curious to know if it’s normal for an R59 JCW (N18B16C engine) to make VERY loud “crack” noises when in Sport Mode on the overrun ?
    By the above I mean noises from the exhaust that are WAY louder than the pops, bangs & burbles that I’m used to in GP1499.
    Sometimes they are THAT loud they actually make me jump when I’m roofless.
    lol
    It’s not a problem, I do quite like them, but I was just wondering if this is normal.

    Yes Andrew, which will come after the LED DRL’s, black grill surrounds, additional LED headlights, GP2 diffuser, Black Line rear lights, new valve caps, wiper blades, footwell mats, fluffy dice, stubby aerial, rear view mirror cover, new wheels etc etc.
    The more that you and William keep mentioning an ALTA the longer it’ll be before I get one, that’s IF I decide that I want one.

    I’m stubborn like that.

    Definitely cracks on the overrun - I just can’t hear mine at the moment over the rattle from the chain . In fact the car hasn’t moved in 10 days

    Sometimes it sounds like a shotgun has gone off too . All normal Pete
