As some may know I am the lucky owner of a Beautifull low mileage 2000 Chimaera,and having Called into Lloyd Brothers this morning to collect a set of Accel leads I am now looking at a Canaams upgrade.
Would the said upgrade put you off buying a mint Chimaera if you were in the market for one?
Having said that I have no intention of selling my little beauty !
Just wondering what peoples thoughts are (I will add that i will keep all the original parts to keep with the car).

Sounds pretty cool, but I'm uncertain what real world advantages it would bring, if the car is currently running ok?

On a modified motor I can see the benefits.

Either way, I don't see how it would really have any affect on resale value.
Car is running as a 450 runs,i.e. pulls like a train but around town the shunting gets on my T*ts !
From what Nathan tells me it will run much smoother,more low down grunt and NO shunting.

That's exactly what my Canems system did for mine, you will also enjoy better throttle response and improved fuel economy.

The team at Lloyd Specialist Developments have done loads of these conversions and have refined their installation of the system on the TVR Chimaera over the years, so you know you're getting a package that is both proven and reliable.

Well worth it in my opinion yes
I was expecting 40-50 year old grease monkeys with zz top style beards ,and i,m greeted by 2 Choirboys !

How on earth to pre-pubesant lads can amass the knowledge that they quite obviously have is a revelation!

Looking forward to early July!!

That car is beautiful, it will feel fantastic if that's anything to go by.

Please re visit this thread and tell us your experience as it always makes for very interesting reading;)

I do like your wheels Butch thumbup
I started by upgrading to 16" Imolas on the front ready for some Brembos, Never liked the Imolas so bought a set of 16'Lenso's.

I think they suit the car a treat ( as with everything i'm changing I have kept the imola's so they could go back on IF i ever sell him.)
