THE ULTIMATE CERBY

[Jonny TVR]

I've had two cerbs in the past and currently have griff. Truth is I miss them and seriously thinking about changing but I want the ultimate one (then I may keep it for good). You know .. a lightweight RR thats well sorted with all the right mods in a sexy colour combo. Anyone own or know of one?

This one perhaps http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/255745.htm

Why not put the AJP in the Griff

[thegreengoblet]

Well as far as I'm concerned I own the ultimate Cerb...... well I would say that wouldn't I

Craig's 4.7 is a beautiful beastie. Also try getting in touch with PHer satman who has a very nicely kept 4.5 for sale

The "ultimate" Cerby is going to be different in all of our eyes.

Without a budget to go off, looking through the classifieds, my Ultimate car for power would be the Nitros Cerb.

My ultimate standard Cerb would be the 2003 RR.

The other thing is, the "right mods" will be different in everyone you meet

the cerbera sp12 is for sale ...

[RUSSELLM]

Now that is the ultimate Cerby

Mine is a very late lightweight RR. That looks standard but makes a true 450bhp. I'm not up to speed on all the cerby mods now available but thats the brief .. also one that stops well! I'm flexible on the colour but I do like Crystal Topaz with a two tone interior.

Actually I think it was someone else ... I had a factory 4.7 a few years back (one of two) but it was a silvery blue colour reg R200HOT.

450 in a Cerb ?

Brummie wedge has achieved it with an LS engine transplant, but that's not a LW, neither is the Nitros one.


Personally, I wouldn't get too hung up on the "LW" thing. I've got one, and it's over a 100kg heavier than my "non LW"

Yes its in the classifieds now...

[Jonny TVR]

Yes I have seen satmans .. looks great. However I need to sell my griff first before I buy the cerby

[trackcar]

You don't want to buy your old cerbie off craig again then? seems a sensible choice to me .. your old car and you reunited, but with a lot of mods to it so it'll still feel like a new car to you. best of both worlds?

[Jonny TVR]

I was getting confused it wan't that Craigs as mine was an original factory 4.7

Craigs car used to be 'liftoffs' (alans) old 4.5 Cerb, AFIAK he got the engine bits via John Reid. Craig built most of it himself and got some work done by TVR Power. Austec reworked the heads and played with cams etc to get some power out of it as it wasn't making great numbers.

What he said!

and im willing to bet it out performs the factory 4.7s too...

Craig - OT, I seem to recall you said you got a Tuscan racer brake set up from Power but havent fitted it? Am I right in thinking this is a floating disk set up??
