   You can adjust the tappets on the VTR.
   
   Do a search for tappets. From experience I've found the vtr's to be a little 'tappety' anyway but if it is really bad then try adjusting them.
   
   Otherwise i think all cars are a little rough on a cold morning that's why you shouldn't rev them up high until they are warm.
