Hi everyone, going to get my Chim on saturday, quite looking foward to the drive home too, I`m not new to tiv ownership as I have an S and post on that forum. i`m sure I will have a few questions in the near future, pics to follow when i`ve got it

Welcome aboard Steve, is the "S" staying or is the Chimaera a replacement ?

Remove three cats and sleeve the exhaust, but keep the standard exhaust because you will want it back on before the neighbours get you evicted/shot/prosecuted/electrocuted

Hi Steve,
If you want to become one with your new car, then start a body off.
Seems to be very much in fashion at the moment and I am doing the same.
You do learn a lot and have enough questions to ask and many things to write about.
If you are married and love your wife and want to dedicate time to her, sell the car and buy a MX5

Seriously welcome to the fold enjoy your car

It`s had a body off full chassis restoration already, it`s squeeky clean underneath.

My neighbours are used to my blue S, it`s the loudest by a country mile.

Yes welcome, but you could just buy her an MX5 and keep the TVR. It works for me.
