Do they want more business? I have never had a reply from them when I have enquired.
Assuming you mean Topcats I would give them a call, Warren is much easier reached by Phone than email (assuming the original enquiry was via email). He's not known for turning business away!

These guys have conversion work queuing up, but just as the man said, Warren is not the type of guy to turn business away just because they are busy smash ... phone him

Paul, I thought I'd already seen the 7's (apt) replacement in the car a couple of months ago, so this photo (unless old) surprised me a little. Did my eyes deceive me?

Hi all,

its new engine has been in and out a couple of times and will be taken out again soon for the last time, I know a couple of you will have seen it but it now has the tuning house parts on it and there is some serious plumbing going on and the engineering challenge is pretty big.

Warren and the team are going to reveal it on the day they open their new workshop though we should know a bit more about how it will perform by then as it should have done a trip to the IOM as well as a trip to the Ring and hopefully the TVR day at Zolder.

Vertical take off would be good Christian.

Hi, there is a section called Zolder in this TVR forum. It has a link to the site in the Netherlands with the details.

I have wanted a sequential box in the Sagaris for years, hopefully we are a bit closer to this but still not there. A LS9 would be nice.

Paddle shift and a heavily breathed on normally aspirated LS7 650BHP!
Will you be running TC as i can see it being hard to get that much power down?
I have it on good information there is a chap currently looking at a twin turbo LS Sag so looks like there a scrap on for the Sag BHP title lol
I admire the way you have developed the car but after a lap of Oulton in the passenger seat & running my own 500+ monster i really struggle to see the need for more power, these cars are now as close as i've managed to get to a bike experience and on the public highway are just insane, i was hoping to see a piece on your car in this months Sprint but i see the T350 took all the headlines so to speak!
However she turns out i'm sure it will have Brian's unique craftsmanship and bespoke high level of finish smile

Warren told me the new Sprint was out…not had my copy as yet.

Paul from what I saw of your installation it did look awesome and clearly a lot of work in getting your new project plumbed and sitting correctly. What was interesting was how one Sag differs from another and the challenges that gives….I will say no more

I must agree with Christian re power. I have not taken my car over 5k revs and the power even at that level is unbelievable. I can see that once on full song it is going to be as quick as anything I have driven or owned….That being betting more power is an addictive challenge. .

Some time we may see the new ZR1 LT4 in a TVR…..if possible. 6.2-liter supercharged V8 producing "at least" 625 horsepower and 635 pound-feet of torque. 1.7-liter Eaton supercharger and intercooler …sitting in the engine's vee making it 1 inch lower and it's 20 pounds lighter.

Paddleshift/sequential box...

See my Sag by end of year. Should have a system done in it by then - assuming things go to plan.

Hope I ok to post this here but I've only recently become aware of Topcats and I must say I am extremely impressed and happy to let warren take care of my speed 6 Cerb. Now here's the issue I know they specialise in the LS7 club but I'm a keen S6 man so I may let Power give me a 4.5 which I here punch for punch is as potent as the LS

I'm so confused

I'm really sorry, but that is utter, utter rubbish. I have a S6 engine that produces more bhp than my LS, and in a straight line, the LS would monster the S6. Put the different engines int he same car/chassis, the LS wins. Sorry, sad but true.

The 4.3/4.5/FFF is a good engine, don't get me wrong. But to say it's as powerful as or can stand toe to toe with an LS.....
