I thought it might be an idea to get people to post some details of things like mods, upgrades and just about anything else about their car that others might be interested in.
My early 2.8FHC has factory fitted Power steering if anyone wants to take a look.
I have virtually finished converting from a 3speed autobox to a five speed manual and I have also made and fitted some trailing arm staybars.

Over the years I've:

Made my own power steering conversion
Fitted and mapped an Emerald ECU
ECU modified to run dizzyless and sequential injection
Cut and shut the inlet to increase volume
Rear brake cooling ducts
Additional Cabin air fan
Ally rad
Carbon Dashboard

And all the usual Wedge jobs Bored ouit, better cam, head work etc etc

See you there

Hey I've got one of those. Essential for every Tiv owner. Mine's the limited edition high quality finish length of wood which holds the bonnet up. I think Ikea were the manufacturers of mine.

Edit: This item is not available in the shops

Don't tempt the Ebay hounds .. one might be on there in weeks..

I was even tempted to flog some of last year's BBWF DVD's that Steve Heath brought along.. but I think I'll just bring them along and give they away

I am disappointed that the TVR logo (in the centre) does not show up on the pic very clearly.

In real life it is almost as impressive as my timber bonnet stay, which can be used on ANY TVR.



... dammit - given that away too
