I know how you feel.......


We need another shoot out day or Santa Pod Day out.

Failing that Windsor (Longbow) should be back from the Gulf soon and was talking about organising an event at an airfield in Doncaster, he is going to invite a fair few Cerbs / Tivs and then try and get a few Porkers, Fezzas and like along too. This place has a mile straight so that should sort the men out from the boys....

Any Cerb with over 350bhp is pretty much uncontrolable anyway, that's part of the point of the car! It's all about slowly getting to know the car in order to try and control it that is part of the fun of ownership.

Even though I cannot control it, I want more power.

Chip and induction done. Altered timing too, so it holds on to the power until 7000rpm.

What's next? If there was a reasonable (i.e. not too expensive) way of getting more BHP, then I'm all ears

I think everyone was getting bored that my cars were winning almost everything, sheesh you'd think someone would come up with something better by now from all the flag-waving on here hehe

I'm only pulling your collective soft southern pissers, don't get all precious about it. Now that should start world war 3 Cerbera style surely ?? hehe

You're right though (I never thought I'd agree with Ash, ever!) it is effing boring in the Cerbera house lately. I miss the old days. Well some of it anyway.

The most exciting thing here is a couple of Cerbs trying to take part in the tuscan dunlop challenge.

Drag strips are a bit too american. But if one of the Cerbs could manage not to come last to a tuscan challenge car then I would be at Brands rooting for them.

It says so much more about the car.

There's three cerbs which are part of the way to being race prepared, two of which we hope to see out this season, as you say this is genuinely exciting news for cerbera motorsport enthusiasts

Right now I'm only expecting you not to be lapped more than ten times between the start and end of the race. Do better than that and I'll still be routing for you.

P.S. Don't mess too much. Important that us Cerb owners still identify with you. And if you could possibly manage to overtake something that looks like a saggy I would literally pee my pants.

No messing at all to start with(some arch mods to fit the huge wheels i went for) Depending on how it all goes it my have an aero kit but that is it. So it will definatly be a cerb!

Unfortunatly i think the only time i will drive past one of them is in the paddock! For the first half of the season i will be very much under-powered (Probably a good thing while i learn the car!)

wavey Nothing much to report at present, last putting out about 400hp and 380lbs in a very restrictive configuration . After breaking the bench dyno drive coupling last week my engine bay was being prepped to accept the engine to continue the tuning in the car, thus leaving the bench dyno free for your engine Ash.
We could always start a sweep stake on where mine ends up, the smart money is on 450 the optimistic money is on 470 yikes.
I’m having a day with Tim (ACT) to try out exhaust tweaks and designs soon, and will try a slight design change to the manifolds. My try a new 6 pot front brake configuration that Paul is putting together too, but its designed for 18” rims but I’m still running 17” RL’s.

Since I haven’t got the car yet talk is all I can do and when I get the car spin is probably all I’ll do hehe

My suspension came off a tuscan race car, so may be of help. Joolz knows the car quite well so maybe worth a chat.
