very nice !!, have you managed to keep the original pedel box mounts ?

[sheepdip]

I have used a modified escort bias pedal box, but mounted further back. It has the monaro master cylinder added too. What have you used?
Tried to fit the motor today but the manifolds are now fouling the bonnet!

Summat not right there.

I have washed the engine and box off today hence the strange fitment of the manifolds!

Looks like a wheelbarrow that will warm your hands.

TOO MUCH TECHNOLOGY!

I have just been checking the bores with an endoscope when found this on the 6th bore I checked! Sorry can not upload image! But after further checks I found the same mark on every piston and in the same place! I even fastened a tie wrap down the side of the scope so I could size the indent - turns out to be about 3mm in dia!
I did ste myself for a moment or two!

Bloody hell mate your going a steering knob to keep the back end under control

I have an LS2 TVR. This is just lovely - I can only applaud a light RWD car. Good man!

Hi Don
Is your engine dry sumped? If so I may have bought the sump of your engine!

[Don1]

If it came via Topcats, not mine (there are a few of us now). I bet you can't wait for this to be finished!

hi there, yea i used a modded bias peddle box aswell, re mounted further back same as you, seriously considering chopping out the rear cage diagonal, like you and remounting it so as i can slide the seat further back, i will just have to wait and see what its like to drive ;-)

manking good progress !!

Engine and box in today. As you can see from the pictures it goes in from below - hence the height of lift required.

cool as a cool thing, great colour as well

400 bhp in there is going to be lively? what ecu you running?

[sheepdip]

I am running the original ecu(pcm) as it is fully adjustable using Efilive software.

[GMW 360i]

ok, you cannot live map with efi live and its hard work mapping any future upgrades? I would seriously consider a standalone setup I promise it will be cheaper and a lot less painful in the long run. Love your project just trying to help

Car now back on the deck!
