Haha yes I'm going down this weekend and will hopefully be driving her home.
Car was apparently pushing about 430hp which seems to be about right to me.

I'm intreagued as to why the last owner only kept the car for a short period as it does look to be in great condition.

Any info on this car would be nice. I do have the TVRCC mags with it in

I'm only going by what is on cerheads profile page and the car club magazine,but it looks to have had a substantial amount of work done on the engine and car. The air box mod and bonnet are back to standard now as for the rest of the mods I've no idea where it is today.

Sounds like it could be on the rolling road again to what's happening today. If it's anywhere near the 400 up I will be happy.

Sounds like you have the same gearbox and diff as I have in my Tuscan 2S. Almost 60 in first and nearly 100 in second. After that the gears are standard. I think that set up is ideal on a Tuscan. I can't find anything saying if the gearbox in JAR1Y is standard or a close ratio (tall first and second) gearbox.

You guys seem to be getting some very good numbers out of the Cerbera's, very encouraging when I'm getting rid of my 2S for a four seater car smile

This one is fitted with an emerald ECU, I have no idea on the pros and cons of the different ECU's being used today, what are peoples thoughts on the Emerald one?

Maybe I should have a run down to Joolz and see what it does on his rolling road.

sounds like a good idea Gazzab, although I know the air boxes are no longer fitted and the bonnet is now the standard one.

my only concern would be if it has a few BHP down on yours and I would then need to spend a mountain of money of getting a few more BHP smile

is a rolling road session expensive?

This may be worth a quick read.

A few years old now but the basics are there

The car is fantastic. I can't believe how it handles and the biggest surprise is how quite it is.
Interesting how it's got the fancy exhaust manifolds and 3"
tail pipes but still on the original system.
