I had this, The big red connector on the alternator was about to fall off as it had snapped so kept touching and untouching and undercharging the battery.
If its mostly used on track, strip it..decent lightweight wheels, and lower it a little. You have to spend a few quid to get decent gains from these engines
Just after I left you guys on the motorway car made a horrible grounding sound, pulled over put foot down on clucth and it just grinds and can smell the clutch burning! Grrr like 350 I could of put towards something else!!!!

Thanks guys , know their are many variants on RR's and French manufacturing tolerances aren't the greatest! Not anal about the results but wanted to see if it sounded about right!
Hi all,
Took my car to the rollers today as was bit of a club day on and decided to go along Car made 165bhp @ 6435 rpm and 147 ft-lb of torque. Does this sound like a usual type of figure? Car has a scorpion cutback and a induction kit!
Cheers!
Each to their own, same with the noise, personally I love it on mine but others hate it. Most annuying thing about them is overtaking on the motorway! bwaaaaaaaaaarp!
Was thinking ktec but didn't know if anyone had any experience with it, Put on my scorpion cat back stainless system yesterday at work, shined torch down the cat and it was EMPTY! It can still pass a mot if it reads within the limits but doubtful as it smells quite petroly
