Mine runs too !!!!!!!!!!!!
Discussion
It's been just over a year since the project started and the 280 engine was removed. I did Kevin's steering bushing mod. and had the dash out, so the fact that the LH signal light came on when I released the handbrake and only one headlight came up, seams pretty normal for a TVR that hasn't been driven in almost 2 years. It was dark before I was satisfied that most of the parts would not fall off, and with only one headlight I didn't go far. The first drive usally gives the most honest impression. Mine were that the car is nothing like a 280i/Tasmin; there is no time to enjoy the view. The engine has lots of torque but I felt the car was very light, not that it wanted to become airboune, but that sooo little throttle had such a big reaction instantaniously. The handling felt the same, even better with the new tighter steering.I was afraid that I may have selected a combination of tires,rear axle ratio and the 5 speed, that would result in a first gear that was to low. Not the case! The rear suspention was off slighty, and was only detectable by modist L/H rear tyre wear. Now you can tell. It's got a little dance everytime you apply power or shift. I loved the sweet sound of the 280 but that gone! When I got home my wife had tracked my entire trip from the bedroom while watching MTV. I still have lots of issues to work out, but last night sure charged my battery. This forum gave me the encouragement, Thanks!
