    New rear silencer

    Lol! I'd love one that growls deeply on idle and under load, but on cruising just disappears....

    New rear silencer

    Right, my old rear silencer had fallen apart, rusted at the bottom. I've hacksawed it off (Why, oh WHY couldn't they make it EASILY removable?!) and now have the exhaust finishing up just behind the left hand rear wheel. It is a 3" pipe eh? May weld on a new section with two cuts in it, so...

    Ticking V8?

    I'm not sure on the p38 to be honest.

    Ticking V8?

    lol! The exhaust is very easy to remove, provided you have a socket set and are careful of lambda sensors etc.

    Ticking V8?

    Very, the whole thing detaches in sections

    Leak solved!....we'll see

    And it seems to be coming from the gearbox area. Nothing serious, leak-wise, just annoying. May just put in some shields for that area of pipe, so it just runs off and doesn't get incinerated

    Leak solved!....we'll see

    now it starts to leak on the OTHER side! Charlotte - plugged that ****ing maddening leak from the exhaust so I'm well chuffed. I'd say the underneath just needs a blasting and then i'll see where it's coming from. But how do you turn a RR over to clean underneath lol

    Ticking V8?

    Well, ironic I read this. I've just plugged up the MINUTEST air leak from my left hand manifold on my 3.9 classic. It would be really (sic) annoying! like night and day now that it's fixed, and a gorgeous V8 burble down the pipes if you stick your head under the car. Get a vacuum cleaner...

    Project g0d is underway!

    Hi, Car's completely gutted now. Filling, sanding, respray in dark metallic blue to be done at some stage...but it's all systems go as of tomorrow. One hitch - I hate the back of the RR - from the bumper down - WTF can be done there, will a later lower bumper fit it (albeit with a bit of...

    New panel?

    I'm not gone on MASSIVE noise, a quiet rumble would be nice. Whole car is gutted now, installing system soon

    New panel?

    Nice one. Oil stench is massively reduced, and the tapping went away! Whole vehicle is gutted, as I'm now on holiday. Trying to get the dash off now lol. What'd be gained from fitting a K&N to the V8? There's a hole developing in the rear silencer...oh how terrible! time for a new, rumblier...

    New panel?

    ah never mind the speedo lol! just add on another 5mph and you're safe. Mechanically, though, does it fit?

    New panel?

    and another thing - how wide will I be able to go with 16x7 wheels? I want a set of 265s as I can get them very reasonably here. I'm wanting to sell the original ones. Also have 4 BMW 5 series alloys if anyone wants

    New panel?

    Well...they'll be under a steel sheet (Irish commercial regulations) and the belt mounts...well they need to be removed altogether and re-welded over. Getting it converted to LPG in Armagh. So, if it has no back seats, and the windows panelled out, what does that make it in the UK?

    New panel?

    Lol! I've had the carpets up for some time, nothing major. the carpet stuck, so I clouted it with a hammer and the WHOLE panel just shattered lol. I'll drop it into a friend's to get it welded up. What's the story with a car in the UK if I just have two seats but don't use it as a commie? L

    New panel?

    Happened to you?
  19. P

    New panel?

    Hey As I'm converting my RR to a commercial so as I can carry my bikes etc, I have to remove all traces of rear seat. And when I came to remove the anchors for the belts...! I reckon it's time to weld in a new panel, how about you? L

    Dash removal

    Hi, Gutted my RR today to de-rust (not very much!) the floors and inside of the doors, as well as to replace my driver's window motor, which had phutted out LONG before I bought it. The top of the dash has to come off to be moulded for a touchscreen and the bottom has to come off for...
