My LS3 Rebuilt Griff
Discussion
Ok so still not managed to master posting more than on picture at a time so this should be fun!
The car is a 96 griff 500 that has been completely re-built from the chassis up without cutting to many corners.
Internals
Its a standard LS3 block with a TKO 600 box and uprated gun barrel drive shafts, the car runs an Acusump to deal with the wet sump issue and GM fly by wire throttle and ECU, the brakes and suspension were all uprated along with anything else i could improve.
The exterior of the car was also treated to a full makeover as well with the only external mod being the Tuscan front splitters to try and keep the front end a bit more planted at the new higher top speeds, and a bespoke rollcage to try and stiffen the chassis up.
The interior was treated to a revamped set of elise seats and a full face lift!
There is more info on the car in the TVR forum i just wanted to see what non TVR ph thought?
Thanks again to all who made this possible Topcats,RT Racing, Surface & Design,D&C Trim and everyone else, except that git of a carbon company who f
k me for 2 months ;]

I have a lovely 350 for the purists complete with 4lred rose, this was and still is my dream car, first heard and then seen as a young 20 year old hooligan intent on destroying R5 turbo's. Am fortunate enough to of driven a fair bit of exotica, but not much makes me grin bar my bikes like the griff with the roof down at full chat! Thanks for the comments
And since yellow is my favourite colour, gets a double thumbs up from me!
