Yes good meet today and love "Priscilla" as she compliments my T350 all plans are now agreed with Mrs No Brakes, Matt why not come to Snetterton with us not sure now if I want to put Priscilla on track but not done snetterton in the T350 so might just take it and if you want you can take it round the track b
Very nice car your wedge Gary. I have always really liked the wedges, I very almost bought a red 450SE with a TVR 500 engine instead of the Griff. I think they are getting better with age as well. I am looking forward to see what you decide on regarding the paint and interior. Unfortunately I cannot make Snett, shame as I was looking forward to seeing the wedges on track and beating you all to the front of the dinner queue. If you are free on the 25th of September there is a track day at Hethal (Lotus Test Track) that a number of TVRs are going to. I did this earlier on in the year and it was good fun. Classic cars only but the organiser likes TVRs so he lets them on. Stewart contacted the organiser about letting his Tammy on and he agreed so I am sure you would be OK in the T450, or maybe the wedge?

Thanks Matt, always liked Wedges as that was the TVR I really wanted many moons ago but wife preferred the Chim so stretched the budget and by bought one so decided it was time to get a wedge it's driving me mad at the moment wife really likes yellow and blue, I could go yellow and that would make it really stand out or go blue then that would determine what I do with interior with yellow it would probably be black as its hard to have other colours that match, blue I could leave interior as it is maybe go slightly lighter, last night we more or less decided on Blue but I keep looking at yellow Unfortunately I cannot make Snett, shame as I was looking forward to seeing the wedges on track and beating you all to the front of the dinner queue.

Did Hethel many years ago in the Cerbera I see the date is a Sunday which is good so I might just come along would be in the T414 as strictly speaking that is what it is as 350 was the BHP and mine is 414 BHP, I will have a think about it
Yellow and blue interior is a very good combo, although I personally prefer yellow pearlescent with black leather with yellow stitching and yellow binding. Yellow and blue interior could look great with a blue roof as well. What kind of blue for the exterior was you thinking about?
Good news on Hethal! loads of TVRs going, it was was cracking day last time very chilled out with the rules, didn't even bother with a noise test which was happy days.
Learn something new every day, I always (wrongly) assumed the T350 was 350 for the 3.5 Speed Six.

After all discussions with wifey wedge is staying blue but going viper blue and probably Portland grey interior
Yes should be a good day at hethal
T350 was called that as typical of TVR they claimed the bhp was 350 but most was about 320 - 330
Mine was 414 on powers dyno but probably screaming at that point but it's the torque that you want as well as BHP and mine is 368 lbft of torque which makes it a pleasure to drive
Now wait to hear from other T350 owners who prefer the original engine but I like mine as it is

Was indeed a good meet. Wendy runs better with every service item done. 
Thats good news mate..I personally think you will need an adjustable or higher volume FPR as I'm sure the 3.9 needs around 40-42psi at WOT and you only have 36psi from the solid state type...Of course check the timing also but even if thats spot on i still think you will want more fuel....Sounds lovely...
