The Review has sneeked in under the radar but is out there now..... in Mods Forum.

Saw the review when it was added earlier! A great car, certainly an excellent project for us all to aspire to. Good work!! Have seen it at one of the Middx TVRCC meets.
My only other comment would be:
Could do with being louder with a more visceral engine note (heard you fire it up for someone at the Ace)! Not a critisism, just personal preference!

Yep they do not run really load - you could run it with out the small pre cats - that is all that is in it and the perforated balancer (like a std chim griff) but it would still need a link pipe to balance these LS engines.

There are know for being quite on constant throttle or tick over but pretty damn good when accelerating.

May get a bit louder with more advance dialed in over the weekend?

Fantastic, I look forward to hearing it again then!!
IMO a nice exhaust note would be a cross between my old Trans Am (straight through duplex system + cherry bombs) and my F-150 HD (with a Gibson dual sports exhaust - sounds nicer than a Borla and is half the price!!).
If you ever fancy doing another Chim, give me a shout as would love to have mine become another 'road going missile'!!

Fantastic .. we will all want one.

I can see the TVR factory wanting to copy this..
