Proper big RR? Not an RRS?

Didn't think they'd be that quick...

A guy near me has just bought one ! It is an awesome looking machine but dare I say a bit tacky looking ? It's a 4 litre with supercharger and he said 440 BHP !!

What van is that, the A Team van? I have a vivaro 115 and wouldn't want much more as I sometimes forget i am not in the car and end up under steering like mad.

S/C's with map, twin screw supercharger upgrade and sports exhaust are over 550bhp (and safe with it)

Not a cheap engine to upgrade, but if you've forked out on an Overfinch then you've got some spare cash for sure...

I've had my TDV8 mapped and it's quite capable of showing a clean pair of heals to most once rolling, but with 600lbs of torque and 315bhp it's never going to be a slouch

Can you post details - I'm just about to buy a TDV8 and that sounds just what the doctor ordered

Bell Auto Services Alistair

http://bellautoservices.co.uk/bas-remap-interface/

You purchase an interface that allows you to download your LR map off the car, then email it to Pete at BAS. He then "tweaks it" to his new map and emails it back to you. Then just load the new map onto the vehicle and you're away.

Highly recommended

(These pop up 2nd hand for sale every now and then for around £300... then just Pete's fee to do a custom map.. taking the total cost to £420 odd.. so a saving of £200. Look on www.disco3.co.uk in the for sale section if you're serious )
