I will get killed if she finds out!

[chris watton]

ordered the AP Racing clutch kit, lightweight flywheel and slave kit, which arrived this morning, to go with new rad, hoses and cats!


I will probably be in a lot of trouble at some point, so I had better hide them for now...

Oh yes, a has a little bag of small bulbs in with the package, what are these for?

[billynobrakes]

So she should kill you, I would never dream of doing such a thing

Lights are to put on your Christmas tree

[ptholt]

BE interesting to hear your experiences of the AP clutch, i found it quite on/off in my scoob when i last had one, hoping the chim is not like that...

[m4tti]

Wouldn't Dom have done you a better deal as a package with the 4.3?

Who did that flywheel?

[chris watton]

He probably would have - but I want the 4.3 bill to be lower than my wife thinks when we are presented with it.

I figured that if I buy some of the more expensive 'add-on' bits I want down at the same time, I can spread the cost a little more, instead of one huge lump sum.

After this, the only things I will want are larger brakes, perhaps the CF airbox and trumpets and a CR box, finished off with a thorough geo and suspension set up.

My perfect Tamora - something I couldn't really afford to do when I had my first...

Not even sure if my clutch needs changing, but as Billynobrakes said in another thread, it would be silly not to, while the engine's out.

Bit late now, why didn't you ask for two bills from Dom?

I know - but I like the fact that a few expensive things to change are now already paid for...

The flywheel doesn't look particularly light weight. Who supplied it?

It's Powers' own:

Yes I did and I am sure you said your not sure when the clutch was changed and I also meant when your having the 4.3 rebuild but you slippery person your doing it bit by bit so the wife does not notice

Dom put a light weight flywheel in mine and its fine

I have bigger front discs on now 300mm and what a difference so much better, my advice though just put ferodo ds250 pads on they will be fine

in your case buy the pads one month and the dics the next month

have you upgraded to Lee Gascoigne's LCD dash read out, I have and you can actually see the thing even when the suns on it not like the crappy TVR one

then you will need the Momo Trek steering wheel so much better than the standard TVR one

Maybe change the Ali foot pedal cover to a nice carbon fibre one looks soo much better than the Ali one

if I think of anything else I will let you know

for T350 owners I have moved the bonnet stay forward about 4 inches and its so much better, I can now fill up the water bottle and check the oil without being bent double just needs to be tidied up by the body shop when she goes back for little bit of work

When your wife finds out how much you've spent those bulbs will be the only light of your life

Yes but its not finished, all I did was undo the bonnet stay from the runner, drilled a hole in the inner wing and the screw at the end of the stay just sits in the hole, I am going to get tidied up when it goes to the body shop

That's as far as the bonnet will open as it hits the oil pipe on top of the catch tank but is an improvement

At the moment I have just put Velcro under the bonnet to hold the stay in place , bit of a bodge at the moment but again I will get body shop to tidy it up

Already got the Momo trek R:



And the CF pedal plate



And Quaife ATB and refurbed diff:



And Nitrons:



And throttle bodies already re-bushed and new gaskets!

I do have the Lee Gascoigne's LCD dash screen, which I will have put on if and when the original starts playing up.

Precisely!

I like to offset any potential grief...

So now you just need the 4.3 and your there

Do you have contact details for getting one of the LCD screens? Did a search but couldn't find Lee's details.

A few of us got then via the Tamora group Facebook page:

Think you will love the Quaife diff, quite brilliant if you like fun! . The racing clutch is marmite , fabulous on the move, but in traffic you really have to be on your game. Had one fitted at Power, but took it out after a month, the only way some times was to spin the wheels. The A P clutch on the move is just brilliant. The Nitrons take some fine tuning to get them right, if you set them for the track they will throw all over the road on normal driving. Got them on the Sagaris and have backed them off quite a few clicks over the last few months. When I had them on my Tamoras , I had two stage springs fitted to make the car better on the road. Which ever way you go I think FUN is going to with you, enjoy and hope get it sorted, keep us informed.
