And that was on a Rolls and with a $360,000.00 price tag, ouch that would really hurt.

Well, shoot, at least Rolls took immediate steps to fix the problem. And the car wasn't even sold yet, so no owner took it in the shorts. How many intercoolers have to fail before Ford will deal with our problem?

Looks like someone on here needs to go to the Rolls crowd and show 'em the proper way to install nitrous...

Later,

Anybody know how to make an intercooler blowup ?

 

Better scratch any ideas of running nitromethane in the intercooler

 

Fill it with gasoline instead of anti-freeze?

Oh fickle me. I thought this was my dream car



But after I read this post I realized, what could be cooler than a 10 second Rolls with the Winged Victory hood ornament?

 

And we thought we had problems. Wonder what
"minor injuries" are? You are in a car that has gas vapors exploded and you only have minor injuries?

Gator -
"Minor Injuries" for a Rolls Royce technician are any injuries where the hospital bill is less than the $360,000 cost of the car.
