Mk1 Rear Wheel TVR V8 Golf

[pena]

Sounds lovely, and a bit of a handful round bends I guess. (or the driver can't drive)

afik underneath is a chim that was at one time a write off. So the rebody came about as the only way to get it back on the road, still looks like a hoot though

[Bomber Denton]

What an absolute scorcher of a car!

Looks superb!

[Stevie Mojo]

Sounds like its got a blower to me. Love it!

[pena]

Nah...
Unsleeved exhaust give that same sound.

[roop]

Is it just me or does that sounds like an utter sack of shit...? Sounds like no Rover V8 I ever heard. Not sure what the exhaust is that is on it, but it needs some work to get it sounding right. Ditch the twin outlets for one. Rovers *always* sound better through a single exit or very closely spaced twins (ie: right next to each other)

Other than that, looks like a top little plaything.

I was REALLY looking foward to seeing this car as I saw the build up pictures.

Bit dissapointed though tbh. Too low really and just looks a little silly

[rev-erend]

Looks like his suspension has collapsed..

Just too low.. looks stupid.

And sounds like it has a chronic misfire too!

[wedgie]

Looks and sounds like shite. Distinctly unimpressed.

Proof positive if ever it was needed that Denton has chav tastes.

Does look shite and if it didn,t have a tvr motor fitted wouldn,t get the time of day on here.There was a golf /tvr made by the Ex service manager Andy leech which did look half a thing.It had a rally set up and sounded the dogs bollox.It had a 5.0 litre engine ,box and diff .That would be worth tracking down.

[AmericanTVR]

Far to low. I don't like at all, it is just a waste of TVR mechanicals.

[TT Tim]

What a PoS, shame really as you could make a serious racer out of a Chimaera.

Just looks like a 'ring road racer' and the drivers seem to be lacking some skill too!

Never mind I guess they'll like it down MaccyDs on Saturday night.

could possibly be because of no balance pipe between exhausts,when I first fitted 5.0 griff engine in the capri I didnt fit a balnce pipe and it ran and sounded like this golf,fitted a balance/crossover pipe (ideal is 70% of exhaust pipe diameter)made a world of difference.

I like it, like i said in my post of this video about 6 months ago.

Whoever did this car, I love it. Shows there are no boundaries.
