I put it up on TVR parts on PistonHeads last night as well as my ACT Y piece.

We will see how it goes otherwise I'll get my daughter to put it up but really, do I have to do!

There’s a story here too.
Before this straight you come off a long left hander accelerating as you go in 3rd so getting on
These pics my son is passengering but on my own later in the day I got a tank slapper coming off that turn and had my cars life in my hands as you see that barrier,,, really upset me.
Both the tyres and brakes lost me time into and out of corners
T1R on a very cold dsmp day but drying track.
I changed to Brembo Brakes and Rainsport 3 tyre’s since that day.
I’d estimate I’m secinds faster round Blyton with this set up, where I’d have to hover on the throttle and hestitste I’d be hard on it now!
Both road going parts too.
I’m so much more confident in the car and those slower corners I’d be really a lot faster through let alone into and out of them.
Big big improvement all round. thumbup

Important not to rush things so what with today being the first day of 2018 to seemingly manage to break into positive temperatures and to be dry, it seemed appropriate to take the car half out of storage for 20 minutes. biggrin

Belong to anyone we know?

Yup. In 25 years of Tiv ownership I’ve never driven them in winter. They go away around the end of September and the winter car comes out and around April the winter car gets put away. It’s much more fun to have a winter car than winter tyres.

My Tivs have always been my highest mileage cars and have traditionally made up around 70% of my annual mileage. Living in central London until last year just meant that I never do many miles but then I only drive when I want to and only for pleasure.

Have you changed the ECU Peter? What did you replace it with or has it been with Jools over the winter?

Joolz fitted an Emerald.

MS has gone to a Chim owner now.

Better if the picture was the correct way up!
I took it the other way but it has loaded up upside down, strange.
