Any owners in the South Wales Region?

[m33ufo]

Am sure this has been asked many times before, but are there any owners in the South Wales/South West Region?

May be fun to go for a drive if the sun comes out!

[teen_cerbera]

Sorry about the delay with the reply but Theres a few Tuvra owners in South Wales, check the South Wales regional Post. I drive a T350c, iv seen another normal silver T350 & a Navy blue Tamora around, and a friend of mine has spotted a few more Tamoras around S.Wales, My last PH meet was on a very cold day up the Brecon Beacons, was good though - and my wiper blade came lose and no one had an alan key too tighten it - visibility in the snow became very difficuilt at times

[m33ufo]

wiper arms....noticed mine were a bit lose, just how tight do you need to fix these?!!!

I'm new to TVR ownership and have a T350T...halcyon yellow pearl so you won't miss it

[david godfrey]

I'm cardiff based - let me know if you wana meet up...

actually think i'v seen your car with a pistonheads sticker on the rear screen?

Love the colour of the car - the wheels set it off amazingly. I looked at this colour and was considering putting 2 "Dodge Viper" style black stripes over the top too add that extra "zing" .

I tightened mine up so there was no movement but the alan key could still losen them easily with out too much effort. Absolute nightmare when it becomes too loose, the wiper just skims over the muck on the windscreen smearing it as it goes. First other T350 owner I know in S.Wales

Thanks, I love the colour too.....The stripes sound good but it's already VERY in your face and it may put my GF over the edge! I am hoping to order a TVR Power sports exhaust in the next few days though.

If you meant my T350 I do have a pistonheads sticker on the rear screen...very discrete and it's mostly yellow and black so matches the car!

I had a slight bump in mine a few months back, shes back from the repair shop Tuesday or Wednesday and I think im gonna order the TVR Power exhaust or the Blueflame TVR exhaust - both sound very good.

My T350 sports one PH sticker, its conveniently located on the tiny window over the rear wing / drivers side- will be getting another for the other side shortly

Must be mine then, can I ask where you saw it...? If I was in the car I'm sure I would have noticed you in a Tamora. If you've seen it in the last week then I am mightily pissed as it's currently having the nose repainted to get rid of a few stonechips - hopefully getting it back tomorrow, they have apparently had some issues getting the colour perfect.

it was yours then - I know where it is being painted they did quite a bit of work to my tam you should be well pleased with the end result, actually mine is back there at the moment... you may see it when you pick yours back up.

only got to see it indoors - would like to see it outdoors sometime have been told it looked even better in the light...

[m33ufo]

Well that's a relief..!

I should be collecting it after 3pm but they have had it a week and a half. They usually do a nice job so hoping the same applies to the T350.

Sean did mention that he had recently done some work on a Tamora - small world.

[m33ufo]

Have mine back...yippeeee

I did see yours parked up outside with a greasy looking mechanic fiddling around in the wheel arch Had a glorious drive home along the A48 towards Cowbridge/Bridgend with the targa panels removed, what a gorgeous day.

yup - picked it up just after you - seems my battery might need replacing though - flat as a pancake - will get a conditioner and try that first.

[m33ufo]

I've got an Optimate that I've used on motorcycles in the past, I just need to get the correct cable sorted for it. Sorry I missed you, lovely looking Tamora.

Enjoy the weekend, hopefully the weather shall hold out!

[m33ufo]

Was back at the bodyshop with mine today...they seem to have painted over a gouge just below the off-side headlight. Also just noticed that they seem to NOT have masked the open area of bodywork behind the front low-level vents so now I have some yellow pipework etc. Anyway, it's back for a couple of days for them to put it right next week.

Saw your Tamora parked outside, looked lovely. Any joy with the battery?

Doh! I'm sure they will sort out it asap. I had a great weekend out - all it needed was a good charging - sorted by driving as much as possible over the weekend - may have been due to door not being closed and interior light flattening it? I'm wanting the sports exhaust next the bay tunnels are awsome with the standard - i'm certain that it will sound even better with the sports exhaust!

Ordered my sports exhaust from TVR Power this morning, they should have another batch in tomorrow morning....if you order one there don't forget we now receive a 10% discount - just mention Pistonheads.

I have yet to go tunneling in the T350c, i remember coming through the one just after Asda, heading towards the prison, cracking tunnel and it curves, trapping the sound in just perfect - wont be visiting there until i get my sports exhaust fitted tho as it hasnt got such a sweet tune as the 4.5 v8 yet

I shall hopefully have my TVR Power sport item this week so shall pop down, they are only about 5 miles from my office. I guess you can't have too much noise!

[noisybugger]

I live in South wales and have recently bought a T350t it is a red rose with Jp exhaust upgrade and it is bloody noisy. In fact I am looking to quiet it down to stop waking up the neighbours when I leave.

My TVR Power item arrived via TNT just over an hour ago....just about to start fiddling with the rear panel etc. I think the Red Rose has different sized pipes or you could have tried the standard exhaust I am about to remove.
