trying to locate the old owner of my new 850r

[M-R-P]

Here's a couple of vids of your car with the noisy dump valve...

[M-R-P]

I'm not normally a fan of dump valves but it was so loud, it was comical lol.

[sundog]

don't do it!

[theflyingbrick]

Can't imagine who was involved with that little escapade

not sure mate but I heard hes a proper good looking bloke lol

[sundog]

thanks guys, it wont be for a while as i don't get payed for some time i fitted my coilovers today they have been stood for a year and are a little squeaky i hope that passes as they were only used for a month before i blew my other car. the difference is amazing although it is a little scary when it comes on boost round a corner with the auto box but im very happy with the car i will do my best to bring her back to its former glory in the next few months ready for the RR gathering.

so with the pictures;



it is a 16t turbo as people thought, and this was the actuator, quite a pretty thing



fitted my old omp wheel as the steering wheel that came with the car was rather horrible,



gave it a wash this is the bad side there is paint chipping on the doors which are burgondy underneath



and as you can see the state of the bonnet once it dried in this picture. im almost ashamed to say the wheel colour is growing on me a little, although i think a power blue may be nicer.

Wheel colour growing on you? Reality check due now! Lol

Looks like it sits well and it's amazing how well these handle with the right suspension set up

Btw I suspect your dash cluster has been swapped at some stage as no 850R has a 155 mph speedo they're all 160 speedos from the factory

[sundog]

thanks andysR i didn't know that but it would explain why the millage has gone down

That doesn't sound good :0

[graemewelch]

hopfully a good compound will sort out the bodywork, mainly the bonnet. ill pass comment on the wheels lol. loving the steering wheel though.

[sundog]

thanks guys the wheels are kind of love or hate my mate loves them i'm not so keen but i only have what paint is laying around my garage to play with.

i'm starting to feel skeptical it even has a remap at all, i ran the fuel as low as i dare (it wasn't registering on the gauge) put some super unleaded in it, ran that through for a while and its still missing all over the place at around 15psi, it even spiked a couple of times and hit fuel cut i did see the gauge go up to maybe past 20psi on one spike. im assuming its harder to diagnose being auto, and not being able to hold it at a continuous load site, i really should just drive it around for a while until i can stage zero it but this new boost game is addictive, i know the car was running as probably mapped with a rip kit but it no longer has that would that make too much of a difference? i;m pretty much rambling now its getting late, i will try some research tomorrow but this is why i like starting with standard cars

[graemewelch]

Rip kit will make no difference. Stg zero sounds a good idea though

[t5steve]

car definately had a rica mapped ecu when dan swapped it..................but next owner could have pulled it out....................

[M-R-P]

Depends on which super unleaded you used, the supermarket stuff is crap. V-power or nothing

if its still got the blue injectors, it won't be running lean
