Help need more numbers on the speedo :)
Discussion
Well full on car day today, dropped the M5 of with BMW at 7.30 then on to str8six in the 350c for fitment of one of Lee 
ally water bottle and a few tweaks, left that there then down to Topcats to pick up the Griff after first service and a new gearbox with a few of the Guru's[Brians] little mods and set up! We took a tuned RS4 which we then did some speed runs with against in the Griff! [All on private roads of course] At 140mph side by sidet he Griff just takes of leaving the RS for dead! The car then went on to go clear of the clock which is 180 on my Griff
Ok i have some bigger wheels on the back so the speedo was defo showing high and needs calibrating but the RS was showing 175 at the end of the runway and going backwards.
The impressive thing was how stable the car was at high speed, you could let go of the wheel at 160 and she was rock solid so very pleased with the splitter's but even more so by the sheer grunt of the LS, one word awesome!!!
We then took the Griff back to str8six to pick up the 350 which my mate got to drive back to london with a gaggle of other TVR popping and banging, he was grinning like a cheshire cat
Whilst at Str8six took Jason for a spin and he drove back as wanted to get some feedback from someone else who knows his way round a quick conversion? very happy to see the big grin on his face and the kind words after!
Topcats andTop men, Warren, Brian and Tom you guys really know how to build a car
Britcar on Saturday followed by the Growl next saturday with the Tuscan challenge on Sunday! You gotta love the summer!!!!!!
My mate took some iphone footage which i will try and put up later.
BMW did not even manage to change i side indicator and fix an adaptive drivers seat in 1 day! Piss poor

so there! Well Targa panel off.
Great to see the car today at brands. It looked and sounded very nice , the workmanship on the engine fit was second to none and the finish on the rest of the car make it a true classic without being over the top.
Nice to see someone else with a passion for all things yellow when it comes to cars.
Nice to have met you and thanks for spending the time to show us the car.

Fuel my passion for guages ! they are all supercharger related,super safe temperature guages although the altitude guage may have to go as i'm thinking of Methanol/water injection.looking forward to getting the Cerbera wheel on and getting it all finishedGassing Station | General TVR Stuff & Gossip | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
