I think you should give me first refuesal when you want to sell it!

I want one for my winter car. Chasing an amethist one at the mo.
Just broken one if you need any bits. Got a full cream leather interior, etc.

Has yours got Spink chips in? if not get some!

Thanks guys..

AFAIK its been de-catted & chipped. But i've no idea if they were from 'Spink'

is there a way to tell?

first things i'm thinking to is...

are there any airbox / induction mods I can do to this? , other than just a panel filter change? Just wondering if there is anything I can do to make it less restrictive at all?


just looks like there are a lot of bends where the air comes in?

yes it is chipped,'duffelcoat'(the PO) had some about a year back.He did have some videos on youtube of before and after but hes taken them down

Nice car that is,he seemed to have spent a lot of time and effort on it to get it into the condition its in now.

No more smoke than standard.
Spinks chips give about 30 bhp more but alot more torque. I did my old mans (80 soon!) he cannot believe it, 59.3 mpg also last long trip!(non quattro).

your chips are good.. not that i knew what it was like standard, but in 6th gear it really pulls, i keep having to check what gear i'm in. i keep thinking i'm in 4th! LOL

Anybody know what this loud tapping noise is?

Its the brake pressure accumulator that sits on the side of the head.If you press the brake pedal a couple of times(hard)it will stop for a few hours/days.Very common on vw t4s aswell(same engine).Basically the inside of it gets clogged up with crud,they can be cleaned out apparently but there is a really strong spring in there which makes it a pig of a job so i hear.Expect anyone who is within earshot of your car when it does it to make comments such as 'your engines is ****ed mate' etc etc,btdt.New ones cost lots though and used ones generally go the same way within months or less

not sure what output those ones are,as no one has ever tested them on an RR that i know of but i can quite believe 170 an a 20-30% increase in torque.I have some more which are even quicker and really could do with a suspension/brake upgrade if driven in anger

well that's reassuring.. really sounds like something serious. i'm glad its not

lol, funny you should say that, i pulled in to my work and drove past a customer.. he came in the shop later and asked me if i knew my car was making that noise and asked if it was OK?.. and that maybe it needed oil or something.

i think i'm going to be having a lot of these conversations. lol
