Supercharged LS1 Cerb on the road *Photo intensive*

I know I'm late to the party ... but I've only just seen this thread.
That has to be the single best-looking Tiv I've ever clapped eyes on. Love it. Hitherto I've only been a Tuscan/Sag man (bought a black Sag) ... but this has me looking at Cerbs with new eyes.
Well done that man. Engine must be stonking too.

If you like it that much, you'll more than welcome to pop round for a closer look. I'm about 10min from Beaulieu motor museum in the New Forest. PM me.
Can't believe this thread has been resurected again. I've done about 500 miles now, pretty much got the teething problems out of the way.
It just keeps getting better, acceleration is just relentless, fourth will pin you back just like 2nd, its so easy to drive with all that torque. Then on a cruise it'll sit at 70mph at about 1700rpm in 6th and still accelerate enough to pass the traffic.
Traction control is awesome, not too intrusive as to make it BMW like, it'll still light the tyres up and go side ways but just slows the chaos down enough for me to handle...and keep my boot in
Not too happy with the brakes at the moment , they feel wooden even when warmed up, its got DS2500 pads but I'm wondering, as they're so big they're just not getting warm enough, even with spirited driving
Maybe I've just got use to over assisted shopping car brakes.hopefully dyno it this month and then to the pod......to break it

Wow, amazing!!
When you first started this job did you have a budget or was you going to do it what ever it cost?
I wishi had the knowhow to undertake something like that.
It must be such an amazing feeling when you fire her up knowing that you made that happen!
If anything goes wrong then you would know what it was and how to sort it again!
Well done mate.

Blimey, can't believe this thread has been resurrected. But great to see "non TVR" people picking up on it too.
Chatsworth is already marked on the calendar
can't wait.
Firstly though, I've got to get it to Birmingham NEC next week, as its been invited to the Pistonheads/Autosport show. Just hope the weather gets better for the journey
Hope to see you all there.

'ello Jon, you must be missing yours although no doubt you've got enough to keep you busy.
Just finished wiring the traction control, will be setting it up the weekend.
Haven't got in touch with Duncan and Paul yet since its been on the road but will do soon. I owe them a drink or two.
Finished the dials and TC install
With the TC should be able to open it up with a bit of confidence, bit scary at the moment, done about 250miles so far, got over most of the teething problems, so hopefully happy motoring.
Would love to do a Griff, I really enjoyed doing the conversion shame the house and wife got in the way
I don't know, you build a triple garage and your wife fills it up with a pretend beetle

Boost gauge was made by Speedy Cables, they weren't particular helpful or quick but got there in the end.
