Just wondering how the lucky owners of a Sportmotive Evolution chassis are getting on?

Hopefully picking mine up next week, will let you know.
That would be great thanks. Sounds like you might be having a LS engine fitted. I'd be very interested in hearing about the spec you've chosen and what you think of it in the end.

Did you get a decent price for your old chassis/engine/gearbox? Just wondering how big a dent it made in the big chassis bill.

A month on, any further opinions on your new motor? Is the new chassis the star of the show or is it the whole package that makes it so good? The reason I ask is if I buy a car with a knackered chassis I'd be very interested in a Evolution replacement. However, if the old Rover lump is left in the shade and I really need an LS engine as well then I need to start doing overtime.

That's a great offer thank you, but I can't make that day. Real shame as your car sounds great. I'd love to see a twin test with your car against, say, a Tamora because I suspect this Evolution chassis is probably the best TVR chassis ever made. It just looks like a quality job. I know it's not cheap, but a brand new standard chassis is a few grand so the price difference isn't that great. More plotting and scheming to be done me thinks......
