Renault 19 underhood acceleration

Underhood recording of my Renault 19 with oldish carburetted Cleon engine (C2J). Double barrel Webber 32 DRT carb ~72PS engine.

Start engine, tire skid, hard acceleration up to 6000 RPM and coast down to idle, several times.

Throttle blips up to 7000 RPM.

Mic: Sony ECM-DS30P stereo
Recorder: Sony MZ-N707 mini disc, SP mode, AGC: off.

Wanted to test this cheap mic and custom made windscreen - this is my first car recording, and that's why i started with this cheap microphone, don't want to learn on expensive stuff. Still, i'm amazed how the recording turned out, it's $24 mic in not very silent area, yet it captured sound rather nicely.
Windscreen (cost $0) turned out to be not that good :)
