Hofmiester 10 Posted October 15, 2013 Quality mate, I used to have a VSR and it made the car so much more drivable due to extra torque. Just need to chuck some cams in there now ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mic_VR 3 Posted October 15, 2013 Looking good mate, should hopefully make good power on the RR day. If you're worried about engine movement maybe think about getting some uprated engine mounts. I've got a vibra-tech competition front and fast road rear/gearbox and the engine doesn't more much at all, which is good as it's pretty close! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie 1 Posted October 17, 2013 RB are you running this with a standard map and all seems ok? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
winchbietch 0 Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) Just looked at mine and its about 3mm clearance from manifold to fan Not had any issues though - using the renshaw polly mounts so naff all movement Edited October 18, 2013 by winchbietch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sexybourbon 0 Posted October 17, 2013 Cheers mate good to know we both have the same set up with no issues Jamie , yea no map mate it took about 40 miles for it to sort its self out before that it felt broke and wrong , but now it pulls really well , power is there from about 2000 and pulls hard , I seem to have lost a bit top end but I think it's me not the car , only the rolling road will tell Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie 1 Posted October 18, 2013 Excellent that's great news, fingers crossed mine will be the same then. I've got my VSR on and it seems to be working fine but still waiting for my bloody wheels so can't drive it. Pretty sure it should be the same and hopefully it will be driveable until I can get it mapped in the spring. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sexybourbon 0 Posted October 18, 2013 Id say its more driveable now than it was , more torque low down makes it easy , im sure you would see better gains from a map but mine seems fine , just be prepared to drive it for a good few miles before it seems to start taking in to affect , mine kept stalling once id reconnected the battery back up , i think it was due to the throttle resetting and the car sorting its self out but as i drove it longer it got better and better Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mic_VR 3 Posted October 18, 2013 Gotta love the low down torque of a variable inlet manifold! :thumbleft: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sexybourbon 0 Posted January 3, 2014 Few updates for the car over the festive period and after being a slob for a bit decided to actually move out the house and do something to the car , first i fitted the uprated headlight loom which has made a massive difference and afyer going for a blast last night i cant believe the difference its made , just need to get some better bulbs i think Today i had the tank straps off ! Been on my to do list for ages and iv just been putting it off for ..... Well , 2 1/2 years lol Started by stripping them down to bare metal then red oxided them and them two coats of quick dry hammerite then back on the car Also had all the seats out the other day and finally screwed the center console down so its now solid and rattle free and it lines up perfect it couldnt fit better Also relocated the controll box for the schrick as directed by vince from stealth and re wrapped the connectors and plugs with self algamating tape so its all neat and sealed up Gave the engine bay a bit of a clean up as it was grafted and thats it Few photos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
