That was a "warm start" wasn't it Borys? The note changed at around 20 seconds, just after you blipped the throttle, mine takes a while longer than from cold so I assumed yours was already warm? Do you have the exhaust flaps wired permanently open?

When I start mine I never touch the throttle, I let it start up and run at 11 to 1200rpm, wait till it drops to 900rpm (and the inlet manifold flaps move) then only then will I engage a gear and move off, just a habit I've gotten into.

I agree about the sound, the standard exhaust sounds pretty good indeed. I remember Ian commenting when I started mine up at his house to drive away that he'd never been outside of the car much when it was started up, and how great it sounded. My near neighbour comments to his wife how he loves the sound of mine starting up, he never comments to me, but she's told me on more than one occasion that he's envious
