Im sure I've heard that one but can't remember the punchline.

Yea come on Nick, spill the beans

Absolutely no idea, but it sounds cool. Sticking with the 4.5 .... 4.7 is a slippery road to LS etc

[gruffalo]

Nah, 4.7 is just more AJP than the AJP

Teflon is to help the piston slide in the bore and reduce wear.

Nice stickerage. Not leaving them on for a while?

All gone yesterday except for the union flag on the roof that's been there for 3 years and the "TVR 'cos Porsche is for girls" banner on the rear window. The flag is coming off tonight, might leave the banner on for a while to wind up the local Porsche drivers

[vroom]

Annual attention to those pesky outriggers...

But rather than just throw on another layer of black waxoyl, I bit the bullet and took them back to where I started six years ago - bare surface rusting followed by a coat of Kurust and two layers of POR15.

Horrible job, but happy now

Just need to each jet wash each wheel arch now

I to done that over winter. I did make some guards to go with the front ones I make but wasn't happy with them. Must get round to making another set of prototypes.

I picked my car up from Topcats with four new tyres and complete geo set up with corner wieghing etc. Very happy to have it back on the road after changing the rack over winter.

[Zed 44]

Driven it from near Clermont l'Herault to Circuit Paul Ricard for the race tomorrow.

That's a good idea. My OSF has a guard, and the outrigger behind it is like new. But then again it possibly due the constant splatting of PAS oil and engine oil from the pump assy

Not sure what to do with them now. Re-coat the re-painted bits with waxoyl for consistency - but it just creates suspicion... It's like women in Leggings - you're never sure what it looks like underneath...

Vroom I've sent you a message through pistonheads hopefully you get it.

[redbraveheart]

i have lined all of the underside of the car with alloy sheeting, took ages with a lot of head scratching but never plan on doing a body off again lol

[CerbWill]

Checked in on it at the paint shop. Hope it looks better soon!

Being overtaken by a very swift Jag at the Ring



Sadly that was the high point of the day, because half a lap later my gearbox mounts failed.

So I am now stuck at the Ring.

Oh well, hopefully I'll be able to get it sorted tomorrow (as a temporary repair at least) so I can get home.

[CerbWill]

I should probably add, I collected a windscreen (early type) from TVR Parts on Friday. The latest news is they have plenty in stock at their warehouse. Certainly there was one waiting for me at their industrial unit as I'd emailed a couple of days earlier.

[WhyTwo]

I removed my Union Flag from the roof (my personal protest about the Brexit vote! ). I's been on there for 3 years but it was time it went. Just one Le Mans graphic left, on the rear window

[Byff]

Picked her up from Joolz.

So much more responsive now and the suspension actually works now that he's set it up properly

Mines a pretty much standard 4.2 and now has 100bhp more than when it went in with. Amazing what blocked cats and knackered fuel injectors can rob from your engine.

Unfortunately it was not the gearbox mounts

I tell you Paul, that place has it in for you!

What is the issue!

[Jimm218]

Sorry to see that Paul. You do seem to be cursed.

I drove mine for the first time in nearly a year! Was great to finally get it back on the road. Now to find out what standing for a year is going to cause to fail.
