Pops and bangs so loud I thought someone was trying to shoot me.
Only driven about 15 miles but I LIKE.
Also, for anyone who thinks their Sag bottoms out too much, just found out that my shockers were set at full soft by the factory.
Had them turned "up" a bit and driven down a previously scrape-hell road with no probs at a sufficient speed.
Will report on both with few more miles under the belt
cheers,

Re Shockers
I am a mechanical muppet so will get all the correct terminology from Automedon and post.
Re ECU - No. Advice was not required. Too early to comment. Will let you know when I have done a few more miles and the engine is either running great or dead.
DJC - As you can probably tell I'm quite pleased so far. thanks. Let me have the pics of the aero stuff when you can

Confirmation that I am a muppet. It was the ride hight, I'll try and find out how much, but following a long way round trip to work (I live less than a mile from the office I am at today, commute took 35 minutes) I can confirm that this set up is much more suited to B roads.
De-cat gets thumbs up. "Deeper" edge to the sound, increase in popping and banging, without being ridiculously loud at cruising speeds.

De-cats by DJC.
Pleased to have the car back.

Mine is off today for the DJC Treatment - de-cats, opened slots.
Current ride is set higher than my first Sagaris, little or no bottoming out, but having been down to track at Knockhill late last year very happy with the ride/performance.
May look into it a bit more once the babe is back.

Can I ask the price of your de-cats and is DJC the same DJC that posts on here ?

Mentioning TVR Power in my vicinity at the moment isnt a massively wise thing to do for reasons various and the forum rules prevent me from saying anything. At least one other forum member though knows what Im on about!
Given the above I cant really say much without sounding rather biased and prejudiced, esp on the open forum.
Mail me and I can answer you, so Ted is in no danger of getting sued!

Just thought I give a little more info.
Went on a long motorway run yesterday manchester-birm-london and back. If anything cabin noise is less intrusive at normal cruising speeds, with absolutely no "resonance" in the cabin.
Noticably louder edgier note when accelerating up the rev range. I was obviously cruising at 70 mph, but If you were to cruise at around 85/95 I would have thought that there would be no noise issues in comparison with the original car.
I summary, I'm delighted.

Oh and to return the compliment...SW runs a bloody good insurance company!
