thought the rolly eyes were just looking at the previous post and letting you know you we were responding to it!! Alex. Could be wrong though!
Oops. 
I think the ad is very well written.
I wonder if the power is at the wheels or flywheel.
BIG difference. Mine produces one more pound of torque.

Really ?
Mine made 195 at the wheels. I put the printout on here in April.
I wonder what the alum flywheel gains? (at the wheel) I went from 28lbs to 12 on my 7's flywheel and it made a really big difference. It's a bit spastic, jerky like at low speeds but with v8 torque it might be livable.Mine made 195 at the wheels. I put the printout on here in April.

I found your post, 230 at the fly for 195 at the wheels is a slightly lower driveline loss. Lets face it though it is power at the wheels that counts Mine made 195 at the wheels. I put the printout on here in April.
The timing on this car has only been given a basic set up, the RR session was just a power run really. A bit of tweaking would probably liberate more, getting it set up with a Mark Adams chip may help as well. Most of the work on the car been focussed on reliability and driving feel hence the uprated radiator, arb links and brakes etc.
In case you are wondering I have helped Mike out with most of the work on this car which is why I know it quite well.

Hi,
Use to own this car, wrote it off in 1994 after a big accident.
TVCC register updated, obviously not of interest to the insurance company
Thanks for posting this, I'll let Mike know so it will not come as a surprise to anyone checking the TVRCC register.Use to own this car, wrote it off in 1994 after a big accident.

Whoever fixed it did a damn good job, was the damage all bodywork, i.e Cat D? I am not sure if anything from that long ago would have made it onto hpi.
At least if you know who bought it then it is all above board and it is up to any potential buyer to check the car out for themselves as always. The mods are not going to appeal to someone looking for an all original car anyway so hopefully the current condition of the car will be what is important to them.

Looks nice, lots of work done to it too.
I didn't know you could polybush the gearbox?
I didn't know you could polybush the gearbox?
why the rolley eyes?It was the closest I could see to an embarassed 'I didn't know that look'
If of course, if they self explained, as on other sites, I may not have made an error...
Roll eyes is 'Looking at', interesting.
But I'll remember!

I don't have any pictures of the damage, but kerridges did the insurance assessment
at the time. They estimated > 12K , so the insurance company wrote it off.
Full body shell, (front & rear , bonnet, wing , front light pods etc...)
Drivers doors & window
both mirrors
2 wheels + tyres
rear exhaust
radiator
Windscreen
both rear light clusters
Rear wishbones (bent)
Front offside wishbones (bent)
.......
About three months after the write off, Mr H*pb*rn (current owner can check this on V5 document) called me to check vehicle history. I told him what had happened , what work had previouslt been done
and he said he was brought the wedge as a write-off and was doing a full body off restoration. He posted a few pictures when he sold it on (I think on there was a dedicated wedge site a few years back ?). If anyone wants more info, just email
