V12 Too Loud - They Banned my GT1 Murcielago & E30 BMW M3 rips

[@superfast30]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. This has got to be the greatest looking and sounding road going Murcielago in existence!

So this is what DDE’s Murci is going to look like when it’s done. Very nice! #DDE

[@ninjabob8170]

Even though it was brief it was a pleasure to hear and see it in person at Retrorides. Fair play to you man, one of the nicest sounding cars there all weekend. 👍🏻

Lambo V12's are always going to have an advantage over any other engine!!

It’s the best Murcielago, period. Even Reiter engineering gave the thumbs up, thats how you know it’s legit.

@@_downunderdutch289 I love DDE, but Damon's is nowhere near this.

[@karlvanginderdeuren4009]

Back when I had a capristo exhaust I would always go and buy a coffee for the marshals, then casually asking where the db meters were posted around the track. They always told me :) So I would lift off or quick shift it, and people would come over to ask how on earth I did not get black flagged whilst they did. Epic.

[@eko89er]

[@driftworks]

It doesn't quite meet the criteria being only 17 years old, but it got a pass for uniqueness 😂

[@eko89er]

@@driftworks it certainly deserves to be seen, and good on you for letting it enjoy the track. Probably one of the few tracked Lambo’s that is privately owned. Huge respect!

[@Skreamies]

You know everyone loved seeing the car go around the track haha even if they had to ban it

[@Unknown_Tranquility]

You've been working hard on both cars for such a long time, at certain points it felt like you just wouldn't get to the bottom of things. To get to where you are now and see the M3, let alone the Murci running so well, is absolutely superb! So pleased for you, amazing outcome - fought the hard way, wire by wire, day by day, mod by mod. Brilliant news - keep doing what you are, we are in awe.

[@driftworks]

Cheers. I'm pretty stubborn 😂

[@absolutecrooks6005]

So cool how everyone stood up and turned their heads to see this car fly by. 😭🥶

Awesome video, never ever am I gonna skip when an E30 M3 is on Track! You could follow even pass these other cars pretty easily

[@tomjones5974]

Lambo is beautiful on the track. Looked and sounded like a video game. Unreal.

Came for the Lamborghini, stayed because of BMW. That E30 is something else. Loving it. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻

You have some of the most beautiful cars on the planet and they clearly are purposefully build to drive, sound, and look stunning. The murci is top of the line!

the transmission sound from the M3 are just so perfect

Nothing and I do mean NOTHING beats the sound of a V 12 singing. Bravo, lads. Great job Jay.

I’ve been aware of this car for some time but every single time I see/hear it my smile is uncontrollable. What a thing. And also love the camera car, I’ve still got a Nova rusting away unfortunately.

[@fast_eddie3441]

Great work and even a few laps put a huge smile on everyone's faces. Well worth all Jay's efforts 😆

Ok, its always a treat to see this car on the channel. Nothing else like it. It looks so crazy standing still.

[@driftworks]

Thanks man!

[@michaelsummerell8618]

I love how outrageous this thing looks on the road amongst the normal boring traffic... Literally like it has no rights to be wearing number plates. It might have been black flagged, but you can guarantee that's the car the put a smile on the spectators faces.

[@norafirestorm]

Every time we see the Murci in the shop I drool over it, but seeing that thing just casually rolling down a motorway is a whole other level of fuck me that's gorgeous! 🤘🤘🤘

[@DamosJourney]

Outstanding!!! Well done on the builds, So glad both cars are ripping and sounded incredible 🔥🔥

[@ripcompo]

So happy every time I see your Murcielago, be it images on insta or on this channel. big up.

[@TheXJRMAN]

yes, big V12 engines do come onto "cam" - just over 4krpm. Lovely!

[@tomjones5974]

Vtec kicked in yo. Lol

[@AccAkut1987]

Not VTEC, but the gas dynamics of each six cylinder bank, both exhaust and intake, if this would not run ITBs. It's why older BMWs ran intake manifolds with a valve that "made" them into two three cylinder chambers in the low revs ​@@tomjones5974

[@steinwaydoyle]

I an so happy to see you actually take the Lambo and the M3 out for a proper wringing. They're not just show pieces even though they are at that level

[@MrEdmr2]

I have worked for a GT2 LMES team a couple of years back. We had electrical power steering colom fitted to our cars and we used them during the LM 24hrs as well. Cant remember exactly what tose were unfortunatly. I’ll try to get some info on that…

[@flexinclouds]

How do you even get involved with endurance racing teams & engineering/tuning etc? I feel very naturally inclined with racing, car tuning/setups, engineering & so on. It'd be an absolute dream here in the midwestern US.

[@driftworks]

🙏 Cheers

[@DC_DC_DC_DC]

This car is in my top 3 in the universe. But I swear, that exhaust note can be much better with the right manifold and short system. At the minimum; It needs a Helmholtz resonator with a low Q factor for attenuating the lower end and some mods that make the whale and scream frequency ranges louder. I also feel that there's probably not enough transitioning of header diameters to make it a bit more singy. In case anyone doubts, Yes you can tell from this kind of audio. Edit; its awesome as is but it needs to be the definition of perfection lol

[@TheDreadEmpire]

And then there's DDE trying to recreate this

[@xxJaydogxx]

Ah so this is where Damon @DDE got his ideas from for the Murci

[@gdibble]

🤌 *Sick build!* Might've had good lap times if you would've purged all that wing water weight beforehand. 🥹 JK - M3 and GT1 are just phenomenal. _Congrats, and cheers._ 🏁

[@TheRetroRides]

Hey Phil, pleasure to have you along as always, car is spectacular. We got you a couple of laps at least. I'd love to know how your volume compared to the hot rod we ran in the afternoon with open headers, different ends of the engineering spectrum, same joyful noise making. Our Toyota Mark2 tested at 130dB at Goodwood when it was straight piped haha

[@driftworks]

Thanks for having us guys! Yeah I wondered about the hotrod. It certainly sounded pretty load, but maybe it's the pitch of the Lambo that's the problem.

[@robl6291]

@@driftworks from the trackday noise monitoring systems I've looked at the pitch/frequency won't be a factor. Sometimes a marshall might tell you it's a straight cut gearbox or other thing that's the problem but 99.99% of the time it's just the exhaust. Hopefully you've room for a couple of little expansion mufflers for those noise unfriendly tracks (most are sadly). The unfettered song of that V12 is brilliant though.

[@spontaneouslife205]

This is the sweetest murci I’ve ever seen

[@jamesf8864]

Happy boy, Phil! E30 really doing the business now, and the Lambo mapped and running cleanly on track. Bet this put you on a proper high 🙏🏻 Really good to see. And those inlet temps weren't too bad at all were they, given the ambients and lack of air box? Roll on the air box though! Top dollar 👌

The Murcielago sounds incredible! Should have popped in to Matt Armstrong's next door to Mallory park to show him how it's done 😅

[@woznaldo]

I’ve got a Clio RS Mk3 EPAS and it’s a fair bit heftier than the mk2 but, I haven’t fitted it to anything yet, so can’t back it up with any data. Seat of the pants or otherwise. Kudos on both cars. All the right noises!

[@driftworks]

I think that's what is going to go in next.

[@SKOMPAS]

Vauxhall Corsa C electric racks are used in drifting allot, motor mounted to the column inside the car, can be infinitely adjusted with a variable resistor

[@driftworks]

Cheers. It was a choice between that or the clio mk2 version when we built the car. Both are very similar and not up to the job for this much grip it seems.

[@satanaz]

damn, nice camera angle over the spoiler! sheit, crazy to think that some guy in a shed created a better looking car than any other modern lambo out there in the wild

May I help with the E30 brake cooling vents, because that is basically all I do? (E36, Z3 and E39M5 and Megane RS so far, but shipped to 50+ states and 30+ countries and first pair I did won race series.)

[@driftworks]

Sure, I don't think it's that complicated for us to do, but it's one less job on the big ole list 😂

[@djremotion2]

@@driftworks lets pass this time since you are absolutely right. I don't have E30 M3 available now for testfitting, and I don't know what piping etc goes inside your front bumper that must be taken into account. I like to do clearly best product in the market, with smart innovations an OEM+ level fitment. That would almost reguest your bumper and it's inner life being 3D scanned to make part that will mount and fit at least good in the first try. For the above reasons at the timeframe this is not reasonable, and it is faster and easier for yourself to do this this time. I would love to be involved in some other parts design down the line. Ofcourse if there exists sketch of the mounting surface and measurements an I am provided photos of what things are lurking inside, then it might be possible to do rapidly.

[@driftworks]

Let me pull the existing brake intakes out and I'll see if it's worth talking to you about. Cheers

[@dan3092]

Looks like the E30 is dialed in it always ripped but lap after lap reliability is key a serious build easily the best BMW track car in UK the way it eats Caterhams is so fine and up there in the world I'm sure a credit to all involved with the creation !
