Dunno, David, but when are you going to get the Modwise site up and running again!

[wixer]

David,

Yes go for it, I've just had it done, drove it for the first time yesterday, a major improvement. Jamie and Dom have done a fine job.

How much is it?

[FlipFlopGriff]

We had it done when the engine went bang anyway. Much more torque and a vast improvement.
Cost is on the tvrpower web site.

Taraka costs:

You may want to replace the clutch and do a few other bits and bobs while the engine is out.
They are always really busy so don't expect to book it in for next week and get it back the wek after. Call Dom for details - 02476 366177.
Jamie and Dom - very nice men.

I am surprised so few comments ! However its booked in and i am crap at waiting, so its going to be hard. I have a new toy to take my mind off things though.

I notice it does not include a MA/tornado chip upgrade? surely you would need to do this as well, if you are to get the power from what they put in?

[jellison]

Apparently you will be lucky to see a true 300bhp at the flywheel - 30 - 40 bhp over the 260 - 275bhp of a std 500 is that really worth 3k.

To get real power you have to spend real cash....

[Guillotine]

true john, but the numbers don't tell the whole story.

Taraka, with rechip is a different car. sharper/faster/smoother.

not everyone want a TOTAL MONSTER!

The idea behind the Taraka is not an all singing all dancing upgrade, just a further revision to an already good engine.
We still use std injectors, afm etc etc but just refine the whole package a little further.

If you want 400+ BHP and FT/LB, we can give it to you, but unfortunately its expensive to do it reliably with the old Rover V8 lump.

Dont even question it, its great value for money and jamie is a master, its not just BHP and Ftlbs its about responsiveness and drivability that will make you smile!

Ps you could always spend a couple of quid more if you want a bigger grin, - ask Jamie

as the 005 taraka -- wonder who is TVR 007 ??? can only add you won't be disappointed - was out during the week and didn't need the sunshine.

Jamie and Dom are good lads - pre / during / post installation - no quibbles or worries at all.
