.. that i felt out of my comfort zone with the speed.

I also have to admit to being a bit of a girls blouse on the road and only tickling the throttle but even so it IS faster than any other cerbera i've ever driven. The install IS neat, professional, tidy and OE standard. The engine IS smooth, responsive and transmits far less vibration through into the cabin. I am still very much pro AJP8 and Brummmies car hasn't convinced me that a cerb should wear an LS, however he is a thoroughly likeable chap, the car and install are a credit to his skills and the performance is impressive I cannot deny that! and I'd very much like to thank him for giving me the opportunity to sample it, thanks Paul smile

Can we get him to do an article for Sprint Magazine?

I think all the banter has been in good humour and not at all nasty??

Most older TVR's have donor engines and therefore it is a fitting option if your AJP goes pop.

I too would like to see the car and meet the lad himself, as I have to admit to admiring his skills in doing this above all else!

Knowing the chassis can handle that much power is comforting as well!

But did it go on the rollers???!
Still think this is a great option for the cerb (particularly in place of S6).

I was there too and agree with the quality of the install. Here is a pic of the interesting/contentious bit

That car always makes me laugh - cos of the previous owner, FAFDUG (sp?). Green haired 'muscle' man who made the biggest ass of himself that anyone has ever done on here ! eg threatening people, pics of his 'muscles' etc...

I have the same dilemma where work may get in the way. Would have to drive up and back in the same day and spend just a few hours there but I'm still tempted to go. I'll have to see how I feel at the time.

Let's hope it works out right and both cars can go. Chatsworth does seem to be getting bigger each year.
