Interesting that he is only quoting £4500 for the rebuild. That's the price minus VAT.
You may want to take a careful look at the invoice.
It's not a lot of money for the car but you would need a full inspection and check out the history of the car.
Anyone know the owner?
It doesn't say rebuild as far as I can see - it says 'new engine' fitted by TVR Power. That could be a rebuild, or it could be a different engine sourced from a damaged car. You may want to take a careful look at the invoice.

Daz, you have a mechanically sorted RV8 that on paper will just out run a standard tam.
Why bother changing, you will miss all that usable torque that in the real world is what gives us the buzz.
Spend a few bob on a proper setup and a bit of interior work and you'll be set up!
Just to add, look at the 1/4 mile table, not a tam on it!Why bother changing, you will miss all that usable torque that in the real world is what gives us the buzz.

But surely since the 'problem' he's trying to address is one of handing, that doesn't really matter too much?My chim is only a tad behind a sag in the handling stakes so it can be done.

Spend a few bob on a priper setup and a bit of interior work and you'll be set up!
The Tamora, T350 and TuscanII are very different cars to drive when compared with a Chim or Griff, however tuned and sorted the older models may be. They feel like something engineered 15 years later, which they were.Why bother changing, you will miss all that usable torque that in the real world is what gives us the buzz.

Big difference in the steering when I drove one recently. T.

True, but a sorted griff/chim is up there with them, the track doesn't lie.T.

Well whats got me down is the suspension after spending alot of money and since fitting the new Bosche high output fuel pump i have only been getting 10mpg .Might be getting interference troubling the ECU.
You should have fitted the nitrons and moved away from Gaz. It would transform your chim. The Monos are excellent and a tad cheaper then Nitrons.
A lot is down to marketing, Nitrons have the name but trouble is there are few other players out there to compare.
In the real world we can tell the difference in between good and bad but if the performance of dampers is similar, we wouldn't be able to tell!
I took a ring nut around the ring for several laps in my Mono shod chim, he is a 8 min 15 second stripped out Evo driver and he thought my cars handling was unbelievably good, (he thought it would be crap tbh!).
Mostly it's down to a good setup.

I just think the 400/500LB springs are not suitable for road use ,there fantastic on perfectly smooth roads but other than that they struggle .A lot is down to marketing, Nitrons have the name but trouble is there are few other players out there to compare.

Sod being good on the track ,i want a shock absorber which i can adjust from soft to hard and not be limited to a couple of adjustments .They should be capable of being good n the road and the track.
Been on these forums for a few years now and never heard a bad word about Nitrons...What LB springs do Nitrons run on ?

Obviously some won't agree but they really are chalk and cheese!
