New owner - LS7 Tamora

[unclemark123]

Hello

Collected my LS7 powered Tamora yesterday from fellow PH member Steve SPG. What a great job Steve has made of the car.

The drive home was fun! As the car is tuned, and makes 630bhp it will take some getting used to.

The first thing you notice driving this car is the immense torque. All 600lbs/ft of it. The car hardly needs a gearbox.

I used to drive a Griff 500, and although I loved the car, I was never struck by its handling. The Tamora seems worlds apart. Feels totally planted compared to the Griff.

I have lots of tinkering planned and look forward the help from the helpful TVR community.

Mark.

Looks scary. I presume everything else hasn't been left as standard ?

It has a different ECU, custom exhaust, 6 speed box, uprated front brakes, better suspension, wider rubber to name a few

Those look just like my pics from a Shelsley Breakfast club...

Which is fine. Congratulations on your purchase, it is an impressive car.

Hi Sevenman.

I did not realise that was your picture, but thank you retrospectively! and thanks for the compliment.

Thanks Paul

Looks very nice, did you get the covers from America?

Yes, I am over here every three weeks (i am here now) so it is the perfect place to get parts

Nice. What inlet manifold is that?

Hi, lovely Tam.

What size rubber did you manage to fit without fouling the arches?

Did you just go with the 322mm AP front brakes, or have you fitted something a bit more exotic?

Cheers

Hi Ed. And thanks.

I did not build the car, I bought it from an enthusiast. I think some of the build is documented on PH somewhere. Look for STEVESPG.

The rear tyres are 265's I think. I know the inner arch has been modified to accommodate them. The car sits on Toyo Proxes R1R's. They're cracking tyres, very grippy.
I believe the front discs are slightly bigger (size unknown), and the car has fast road pads on it. They seem to cope fine.
