Lots and lots of modded cars out there these days. So i was wondering who has the most modified Cerbera?

ie most away from factory spec.

Lets keep it to basics.

1 - Engine. altered or completey replaced
2 - interior recovered, new seats lights
3 - body work - headlights spoilers etc
4 - wheels, anything not off the TVR parts option.
5 - exhausts
6 - serious mods, suspension, chassis, gearbox

I thought mine was fairly standard but then totting it up my car has had 2 of the above 6 altered. Most not by me!

Alternatively, who has the most original Cerbera out there at the mo?

Ash's new baby will be the most obvious answer to your question.

the most original is mine with nothing changed on it, even the sound is not as loud hence the name

Doesn't tick all the boxes quiet yet.

Mine won't either, I want to keep the spider wheels.

The only one I can think of that ticks all the boxes is Craigs NITRO C. I had it for a few months before he sold it, everything that could be changed had been but still a Cerbera. He won't mind me stealing his link.

Is that the Phoenix that was knocking about for ages or am I thinking of the wrong project?

Wrong project. IIRC Ash is working on a cerb with a big ricer engine in it...someone say 650bhp? Or did I just make that up?

No, I don't think you did Nick.

I'm pretty certain that Ash has ruined modified another Cerb'.

Wouldn't the Charisma Cerb be the most 'unoriginal' Cerb out there?
Apart from engine every things changed!!

I reckon mine is pretty standard..

1 - Engine. TCS Whirlwind Induction and Re-map
2 - interior - Blue LED's
3 - body work - HID Lights
4 - wheels - Standard RL 17's.
5 - exhaust - SP
6 - Suspension - Gaz Gold.

5 out of the 6 have been changed, but it looks and Sounds like a Cerbera, so to me, it is a Standard sorted Cerbera.

What's the Boss's one with the humps on the bonnet? That looks radical.

Im not doing too bad,
Suspension, Ohlins remote adjustables. Superb, but better than the chassis can handle

Gearbox, Quaif internals close ratio. Best performance upgrade available, ok you loose a little top end, and petrol comsumption will go up as you are up the rev range a bit, also the semi helical gears do whine, I would go in a car with the semi helical gears before buying this mod, I love it, though mine is more of a toy for fun than anything else.

Wheels, SP
Carbon fiber prop shaft
Short induction and remap
Exhaust SP full system.
SPA oil and water temp gauge
The brakes don't need any thing doing to them as they are excelent, superb pedal feel and control, massive power.
The diff is next.

Nick
Isn't your's at SP at the moment. I was looking at the Ohlins adjustable reservoirs cable tied to the wishbones. You need to raise the height at the rear though - have you seen how much you've worn off your tailpipes biggrin

What's the spec? It certainly stands out.

You will find that out, about the same time as you find out who 'The Stig' is biggrin

The engine's the only thing that makes a Cerb what it is, the bodywork is a close second.

Change the engine, it isn't a cerb anymore. Everything else is fair game.
