Welcome to PistonHeads!

'tis just the light I think. I think the colour is Reflex Charcoal (someone will probably correct me) which is green, purple etc etc depending on light.

Thanks,
Dave.

I saw this Cerb outside Milton Keynes train station. My wife said it sounded 'absolutely foul', which roughly translated into PH language is 'the mutts nuts'. Looked awesome.

No I'm doing this one with my mate at our own place and with a little advice from TVR on what chip to use and inicial timing to get it running before we start tuning the NOS back in.

All the parts have been supplied by either TVR Engineering or TVR Power.

Yeah your right I'm talking shit cause these engines are so difficult to work on

One thing about the build I'm doing is it will be better built that TVR ever could.

Yeah yeah what ever! Well soon see.

Whats your car running 506bhp or there abouts?

Don't make me laugh I had more than that from my NOS'd 4.5L

Children, I think you've accidentally stumbled into Pistonheads. I think you wanted Lax Power, it's down the corridor on the left.

That is one of the ugliest Cerberas I have ever seen on Bosscerberas profile - please tell me it's a photoshop?

There seems to be no real evidence of anyone actually owning a Cerbera in here.

I do know that there was a very strong rumour going around Le Mans that the NoS Cerb had gone bang in a very serious and expensive way though - want to sell the wheels cheap?

The trouble with NOS. Blaze of glory and all that...

...but once you've emptied the bottle, it's just a 4.5.

I considered a small NOS kit but the Boss doesn't really need it. And I don't need the aggro of refilling bottles and risking the motor.

Quite happy to watch someone else do it thanks...

NOS wars all end in tears so I'm bowing out. I ain't dissing your efforts buddy, good luck to you. Like I said, "you're the winner".

Yeah had a dealer tell me the same thing! It still runs great even with the rods hanging out the block.

If it was that bad would I have been using it every nice day till Saturday when I took it apart?

Too many people have been wanting it to go bang and that obviously gave them the excuse they needed.

The engine swap has been on the cards since the start of the year and we've spent months working out what exactly we were wanting from the car. Were changing more than just the engine to get it where I want it.

It blew the radiator cap seal last week so wait for the tongues to start and that will mean I've blown two engines in one month.
