Hello everybody, I dont know which would be the best place on the forum to post this so I will post it in a few places. Moderators feel free to re-direct them to the appropriate sub-forum if needed.
Microsoft is looking for a 3 rotor powered car to use for capturing audio. The 3 rotor engine has a very unique sound and we are hoping to find an extremely aggressive sample that would send shivers down your spine. If you have, or know someone who has a car that might fit the following criteria please let us know:
• 3 Rotor Engine
• Aggressive Exhaust
• Naturally Aspirated (no turbo cars, sorry :[ )
• High RPM Capable (8500+ would be ideal)
• Ported/Polished or Race Tuned a big plus. Think super aggressive!
We would be running your car on loaded dyno while capturing the sound. It’s a pretty cool process and we’ve recorded hundreds of cars before using the same technique. As car people know, there is no substitute for the sound of the real thing, and we appreciate any one willing to help us ensure we capture the true character of the rotary engine!
You can reply here or talk to Lzamboni (me) and we will contact prospective candidates privately. Thank you!

 

Hehehe, it looks like you posted everywhere but the 3-rotor forum:
https://www.rx7club.com/forumdisplay.php?f=95

Here is a facepalm for you:


Also, if you want authentic race car sounds, I suggest contacting Team Spencer or Downing Atlanta:
http://www.teamspencer.com/2005/
http://downingatlanta.com/downingatlanta/

 

Or SpeedSource, Inc at www.speedsourceinc.com

 

Hopefully this means that they are recording a true 20B sound for Forza 3 for a DLC race car

 

Racing Beat or Mazdatrix may the best people to ask for a nice sound recording of a well built racing engine. They build them. Or you may want to hunt around for a racing team. If sound quality is less of a factor you can try a youtube search. For example there is a video of all NA japanese cars racing, including an RX7 with a high rpm NA 3 rotor. It's a professional video of all of them racing with plenty of sound IIRC. For a high rpm engine you want to look for something peripheral ported or maybe bridge ported. The 3 rotor is a "20B" btw; that may help your search terms.

 

if you dont mind me asking: why do you need the sound clips? it'd be cool if it actually were for a 20b in forza

 

It's for the 3-rotor powered ford festiva, haven't you played forza before?

Find this guy

 

^Yea the yellow Fc is nuts. Don't think Microsoft is willing to ship that one from downunder.

 

Thanks for the help guys. No, we need a N/A car since the exhaust note is totally different form the turbo cars.

???? all the cars posted above are NA PP's.

 

I don't think you even know what you're asking for?..

What's wrong with the sound of a turbo car? Just asking becauase you don't seem to know what an N/A car sounds like.

 

Hi guys, I am sorry but the last reply was aimed at aeowner's comment that said that most requests are for turbo cars.
And yes there is a noticeable difference between a turbo and a N/A car exhaust note. And I know what I am talking about and what we are looking for so please spare me some of those comments.
This is not for a ringtone or something of such a low quality that will have not discernible difference between one and the other.
Thanks again for all the help.

 

you guys are getting trolled

 

FYI try using the QUOTE button at the bottom of the individual post your trying to reply to. That's what I did for this post. This will cut down any confusion as to whom your replying too.

 

access to 3 20b turbo cars 2 bridge 1 streetport as well as a dyno located in abbotsford bc

 

Thanks aeowner, I will talk to the people that are gonna do the recording and if they do not find the N/A one that they are looking for and decide to go for a turbo, I will let you know for sure.
So far it seems they are trying to get in contact with Gmonsen now.
By the way, why the name aeowner? Did you have an AE86 corolla by any chance?
