No worries. You'll need to get your skates on though if you're going to get the 4.7 on sale before your 5.1 upgrade comes out in the summer.

Dom I know your place has a history with bikes, and this being your last speed six project would you ever consider anything outside of TVR in terms of other marques of cars.

So, it's the end of an era where S6 development is concerned, then?

There's not a great deal more I can really offer with the aspirated S6 lumps at the moment

Become the main supplier of RCR superlite coupes in the UK and have a hypercar out before tvr has a GT car this is what keeps making me think twice about starting an ultima.

Aluminium monocoque
Pushrod suspension
Accepts multiple different power units (although I've succumb to the fact old pushrod power in the form of a tweaked Ls7 around 650 bhp makes sense in terms of costs and emissions)
Designed by a Brit
Components manufactured by a Brit

Only snag is its in Detroit..

I was looking to set up a meeting with the chap pre christmas, but work commitments prevented it. I'll probably try again later this year. I have the chaps email should you want it. If someone in this country imported properly and leveraged local suppliers to keep costs down I don't think theres anything else like it for less than 500k, and the component cost is a fraction of that. Add a "Power Performance" badge to the boot lid and jobs a good un.




Anyway.. enough of this. This is a thread about your 4.7 so bit off topic now. Maybe we need a Powers Performance "what next" thread

[Boosted LS1]

^ Nice engine :-)

Can I start a ask Dom request ?
Well I'd like a option of a roller cam for a chimaera please

Any numbers for the 4.7 yet?

Dom you know how happy I was after collecting my standard 4.0 after 12k service today, the 350mm brakes are mega and the 6600 calipers just work so well on the Cerb. Awesomely fitted as I can report no noise at all

OMG the service itself has really put the car in the purple zone as coming off the roundabout to join the m1 straightened up hit it in 3rd as I normally would but this time the back end wobbled and wheels where spinning you've definitely unlocked more! Now I'm asking myself will I be able to tame your 4.7? One things for sure I'll be having lots of fun trying.

In a word mate LEGENDARY! Thanks

[Incognegro]

Has this thread died Dom??

I just had a day at Topcats V8 meet (I was in my Speed Six... Shhhhh )

With lots of Yank cars and everything from MG/Vauxhalls and TVRs with the increasingly popular LS mod and lots of figures being thrown around, I just want to know what the 4.7 is going to do. No doubt it will be a monster but don't keep us waiting s I want mine installed and run in ready for when the new Tivs are delivered so I can blow their doors off too

[KSV]

Sounds to me Alistair that the Ls option is getting nearer and nearer.

[Incognegro]

I knew you'd hunt me down Colin. Great catch up today, saw Isn and his pal you went from being on your own to 3 Tuscans at least 2 of them had a proper TVR engine ;P

Our drive home was great really went loud on some good stretches and late braking the 350 have some serious force but the pad was squeaky when warm. Could be mintex next but prob CLs as I'll prob put some drilled rears on.

Dom,

How's about looking into the Coates CSRV head for future speed 6 development?

http://www.coatesengine.com/

You know you want to...

[Willfin]

I've seen that head before, and my take on it would be that theres a reason why all of the major manufacturers haven't adopted similar technology.
Better the devil you know imo :-)
