自動車 V8 Sound in 3 Cylinder Kei Car

--- The "SoundRacer " --- サウンドレーサー
A digital FM tuner for your ipod or mp3/CD player.
I'm testing this product and so far, I really like it. No, I kind of love it really. I am a car enthusiast but am presently leasing a very small car in Japan (a 3 speed automatic w/ a very small--but peppy-- 660 cc 3 cylinder engine).
The car is pretty fun actually but I really miss SOUND sometimes and this little is lil' "SoundRacer" has made trips to the grocery store fun for me again.
So, If you have a "less than thrilling car" and also use an FM tuner for an ipod or a MP3 player I recommend it.
BTW, It works better than my Audio Technica-tuner which I paid more money for (sigh). It doesn't work on all cars though (sorry Prius owners) so, check their website.

And of course has the added bonus of very convincing V-8 sound when you unplug your ipod or MP3 player (they also have a v-10 model too). The sound function "hiccups" every now and then---although I think it is b/c my alternator is SO small that the device struggles to pick up the signal from my tiny alternator.

But for any car lover stymied by a boring car its pretty exciting. I'm liking it the more I use it. From the vids I have watched online the V8 sound seems more realistic to me.

Sells for about $40 USD on amazon USA.

IMHO: Worth it just for the tuner... So, not a bad deal. And there is bonus fun for car lovers that are presently forced to drive gas sippers too!

For my buddies in Japan:
ところで、彼らは彼らの製品のために新しい卸売業者が欲しいです。彼らには、日本で彼らの製品のために現在卸売業者がいます。

They are a new company and want distributors. So, if you are a capitalist... you might be interested in getting "your piece of the action". Currently they have only one US distributor. I'm thinking it might show up at Pep Boys and AutoZone and what have you soon.

Also, here is a playlist of other videos of the SoundRacer on YouTube: youtube.com/my_playlists?pi=0&ps=20&sf=&sa=0&sq=&dm=0&p=69CB254A7B97E5E1

BTW, There is also a facebook group too... Yay SoundRacer!!! (^_^)

i wish cars like this were available in the USA. The closest domestic equivalent would be a Geo Metro but it has a 1 litre engine, i think.

This is an affront the gods of motoring

Lol you just bought one of thoese units that play V8 sounds through your radio. Grabs the signal from the alternator and matches it to the 'V8' sound :P
