Any chance you will also be at Bedford two days later, Chilli? What's the latest? Still spaces available. Don't forget to phone to get the discount. driving

That's good. Do you have bolt on cans? Bedford is 101 decibels. Cannot remember what your car puts out, but mine is 105 un-canned.

Im joining the club with a rebuilt 4.6 tophats, big valve stage3, high compression engine. I'll try using a 500 chip to fuel it. Does the 500 and 400 share the same injectors? same 14cux on 400 and 500?

500 chip is different.
Injectors are the same, but tend to max out at 290 bhp ish......but you could be ok at that. If it runs lean above 4500 rpm, bigger injectors and AFM cost a few hundred pounds.
If you change the injectors or AFM you will need to remap the ECU - several hundred quid, plus bringing the car to the UK. So try both chips first I suggest.
But given your location, if neither chip is satisfactory, I suggest you change to a mappable after market ECU if you have a local mapper.

If I make it I should be able to borrow some cans from a good mate (Chim owner) not far from me (have borrowed them before). Really should get round to buying my own...

ETA: Back off to the MCC now wink

No, he was thinking of making a last minute booking for himself, but his diff won't let him go over 45 mph..... weeping

Having identified the cause of your cracked bonnet at the Chim Fest last year (in the best spirit of helping fellow TVR owners) I am somewhat surprised at this unwarranted and extremely ageist attack on myself and QBee. I find the attached picture of two old codgers racing mobility scooters (or whatever the feck they are) both distasteful and a trifle insulting. I do not believe I (or QBee) have done anything to warrant such a blatant insult, and strongly suggest a retraction and heart felt apology are strongly in order.

Accordingly, I (we) await your apology, remorse, and a demonstration of high levels of guilt in due course.

Following above mentioned apologies, we would also expect you to partake in a track day, where you can eat our dust and be left wondering why two 'old codgers' have left you and your measly 346bhp Chim for dead.

Sincerely yours, and on behalf of my 'old codger' mate,

Chilli wink

C'mon Daz, you git, get the fecker fixed by Tuesday 6th and come along to Bedford. There's nothing to hit, so even you should be safe on track. Then we can give you a proper thrashing and a driving lesson. laugh
