Arrow Girlfriend learning to drive 5spd, hows the 1.9 sound btw!?

HEHE, so I've been letting the future wife drive the 1.9er around town when its dark out and no traffic, shes getting realy good, I gotta be carefull, she might take my car lol


But here she is driving, lemme know what cha think, and PS how does the 1.9 sound, I never got around to posting new sound clips of my recent exhaust. Its 2.25in piping, OE style cat, manderal bends, 2 universal style resonators, and a classy oval tip.






Edit: New link


YouTube - 97 Z3 1.9, 5 speed, around town.
Hope the link works


Edit:

New video, took her up to 5k only driving home after work, I'll get a idle video and one of my gf recording me. Sorry for the camera position.

And this one is from the outside, but I put the cell on the floor leaning up against the wall, and the echo makes it sound wayyyy louder then it realy is.

Yea I swapped in a jdm Dseries SOHC 1.6l, then converted the head to a B18 vtec popping at 3k, but that only got me to 1.8l, so I spent tons of money and had the whole engine stroked and rebuilt, and now im at 140hp and 1.9l's of madness!

It took me a while to get that down packed (in current car), and its hard for me to teach her those concepts, so for now we'll stick with the basics lol

But i'll post a video of her recording me while i put the car to work.

I will, but I was recording her drive this time and wasnt trying to record the exhaust, then I heard the exhaust when i played the video back. So decided to upload on TR, i'll get one in the day time from the rear while she drives off.
