hi,
i spent ages looking for some suitable stuff. loads of places do high heat stuff, but not hot enough for an exhaust manifold. clever trevor have the right stuff though. it's not cheap, about £12+vat and P&P.
Tvr028 was the part number, I can't find my can at the moment!!

I was a bit dubious as it's an aerosol and really thin, but seems to have done the trick

Cheers Matt

Hi
ceramic coated Act headers fitted , top quality parts from Act fitted no problem but what a asshole removing orginals , to be honest if it was not tips from the cerbera forums i would still be pissing about now, had help with a friend with a hydraulic lift smile no way could i have done this with out his and his sons help .
First impressions of the Act headers very good , distance from the headers
to the off side wing is a good 30.MM+ the original was nearly touching! took out for a quick blast before the rains came in ,back home lifted bonnet and first immpressions very good .
I get the feeling owning a TVR is a bit like owning a old British Motorcycle get the spanners out once a week
and you will be rewarded with a fairly reliable piece of kit

Happy new year Micromike

I couldn't agree more, top quality parts and top service, Tim is a top bloke as well.

Not seen you for a while Mike but Jason at Power told me about all those extra horses recently discovered deep within your car wink

Prey tell, what's the new improved driving experience really like now she's had the magic worked on her?

Kind regards and Happy New Year to You and your Wife

Hi Simon
Car is a totaly different from the car i bought over 12 months ago (and it was good then) fitted nitrons and had the geo set up ,fitted ACT big bore exhaust system , new clutch and slave and a remap at Power .
The under bonnet temps concerned me so i fitted a set of ATC stainless manifolds with a ceramic coating (Zirtech) and boy what a difference thats made, heat soak into the variouse bits has been noticably reduced .
Still cannot gel with the car tho i think after riding Bikes for the last 40 years i am still a bike person at heart .
