After 9 months of "No TVR", I finally picked her up last night, from TVR POWER.

Dom Mate? Thanks for a the hard work!!
I owe you a beer.
The extra Torque and power is unbelieveable. [And I still need to run her in!!!! ]
Feels like a whole new car.

The drive home back from Coventry was a bit scary [the Wind was mad last night]

Will take some pictures today and post them up.

What have you had done? The Taraka or the 5.3 conversion? or something else given your profile says total rebuild?

My car is a 93 4.0 Litre, So I went for the 3rd upgrade option with a [Dom] Custom Bottom-End(Crank) and Radical Cam:

The driveability and torque is just crazy.
Doing 40mph in third, floored the pedal and mad wheel spin, same with 4th gear.

The torque is so evenly spread, even at running her below 4000Rpm (Still running engine in)

I have decided that the current suspension just is not good enough to match the cars power, so until I have taken delivery of some Nitron shocks, she's staying parked in the garage.

Had the Car fully re-sprayed, carpets replaced, Front & Rear light upgrade at a seperate garage (mmmm!!!), but that turned into a bloody nightmare....

Sorry Old pics, had no time to take new ones:




Next on my purchase list is:

This is becoming an expensive hobby!!!!

Would be intrigued to see her in the flesh. We've moved the Surrey meet to the 4th Thursday at the Fairmile during your absence.

Hope to catch up soon,

Steve.
