Your Ideal/Dream Griffith

[Ballistic Banana]

I know they are bloody hard to beat As they Come out the Box IMHO but....

What would your Ideal Griffith be like..

Type of wheels,brakes,suspension, engine upgrades and interior/exterior colours additions etc.

Not yellow

[simpo two]

I'd like to see one in Chamaeleon green, front corner spoilers like that French chap, multispoke alloys, quad exhaust, doeskin leather.... that'll do for starters.

[HarryW]

Any 500 so long as someone else foots the blls whilst you drive it, would be my ideal TVR let alone a griff .
I think black is pretty mean on a griff, yellow is in your face and suits any Tiv IMHO, perhaps a cerbie with yellow wheels to match .

You may find Yellow Peril has just such a car for sale in a bit... (10% please YP)

Hang on Harry W, you can't ask for a Cerbie as your favourite Griff!

One with the mattress type styling along the cills and front/rear bumper. Bugger, I've just described a Chimaera.

Oh, OK - maybe Nitrons, some ACT bits, bigger brakes, full leather, custom dash...

[badman999]

The one I want to buy - dark (blue green black) exterior, light interior, noise that makes the neighbours cringe! Can't find one though...........

HHmmm Surprised at that???

[BogBeast]

My Black 500 + eighteens all round, AP brakes and nitrons... All the ACT bits (not sure about a 404, mebbe something less 'mechanical'), a ceramic coated removable CAT exhaust plus quad pipe rear end for full effect

oh.. while I'm wishing, a full Mark Adams R/R setup + a faired in duel Xenon light conversion.. umm.. can't think of much else (apart from the need to re-mortgage..)

[Apache]

well chuffed with mine as is, all I would do is add nitrons mebbe

[count duckula]

Metallic orange with black 17" wheels.

Yours please Ballistic!

er... assuming the interior is something normal like cream or pale grey that is!

[neilmac]

Mine! As you say straight out of the box with sports exhaust and Leven goodies.

[GarryM]

My dream Griff has:
1. Deep green exterior
2. Full hide - black and butterscotch
3. Air-con/PAS/heated seats
4. Standard wheels
5. Leven black column set etc.
6. Leather covered roll bar
7. AP "TVR" 4-pot brakes 285mm discs
8. Nitron suspension
9. ACT induction mods with MA rolling road set-up

I'm at no.6 with no.7 on order. Only two more to go!

[simon t]

Colour - As is
Leather - As is
Dash - Leven S Steel ..On the way
Leven Alloy bits - Done
Nitrons - Done
Brakes - AP 4 pots and Cross drilled/Grooved disks - Saving hard!
Headlight conversion - Done
Seats - Still trying to find an alternative, anyone any ideas???
ACT Plenum and Throttles - On the wish list
Chip and RR tune - The final step, hopefully by Xmas

Simpo's with cats & wooden dash & slightly darker interior....

[tvr4ever]

BMW M5 engine, slightly tuned to a real 450 bhp. Six speed sequential gearbox. Suspension sorted by Lotus engineers. Aircondition that really works so you can freeze your nuts of on temperatures like we had this summer. A hood that you can put on in about 3 seconds.
Build in .50 call machinegun for those annoying speedtraps. 155 Mpg fuel consumption.

Aaaah dreams.....

Surely you are just on a wind up eh? A BMW engine in a TVR get real Anyway in answer to the question, mine www.greenbear.org.uk plus my next mods which will be to de pre-cat' it with some of Tim's stainless exhaust manifolds, and fit some Nitron's to complement the rest of the work I've done! Have fun Rich...
