Now how i'd love to do that.
Take a ride in other series 'S's. i know just form a few TVRCC meets the difference in noise, but would love to feel the difference in the handling of the cars etc.
suppose thats the beauty of TVR- all so bloody different!!!
..now then any other S4's i can have a ride in......

Be interesting to see what Slamm recons to mine.



Too busy at work to reply to this earlier
As for Podie, it was soooo different to mine. In fact, I utterly agree with your comment each one seems to be different. really sensitive, one hell of a lot easier. The extra length on your knob helps too

Anyway, When Podie told me to, I jumped out of my skin when it started to really pop and bang. As it's running at the moment the engine gets flooded with loads of smoother stroking get the power through. I'd kind of got used to wearing mine, so it required a bit more self control.

Podie purrs along nicely. Pies's just a beast. It's the kind of animal that makes your pupils dilate when you start, but then everything contracts (including bum cheeks) when you put you down!!! Pies, I'd like to see what it's like bedded in, as I was not overly convinced with the A set-up, I confess it felt my liking.

It's one of the many things I love about Mid Essex meets - you get to have a go in others and there's always something new to try even in the same model...



Slightly edited.... but all the words are there. Just a bit of fun.

So do I...

With all the pops and bangs from unburnt fuel I'm forever filling it up.

Car has never been smoother, it pulls and pulls.
Arranging a 1st Lotus day soon so I can have some real fun....

The injectors in mine are working flat out, and the mapping still needs about 10-15% more fuel as the car still runs lean. The problem Mel described is that if you stick the pedal to the floor, it literally dumps fuel in, and can bog down a bit... hoping Austec will find a solution soonish.. (hint! )

Agree with what you say though... pulls so strongly doesn't it!
