Evening all,

Just got back in, been out in the Griff, with its newly sleeved exhaust. yikes What a noise! hehe Got stopped in traffic twice, which has never happened before by guys asking what was under the bonnet. Scared some young children half to death, had to go and find the obligatory tunnels yikes that noise would wake the dead. I will post a video over the weekend, if I can work out how to do it.

I had this modification done at TVRfix in Ewell, what a fantastic job they did. I asked while the car was in if they could check the fuel lines as I had noticed the rubber on the line had a few cracks in it. They changed the rubber hoses but horror of horrors, as he was carrying this work out he noticed that the copper fuel pipe when fitted at the factory was running in an unusual way, which resulted in it rubbing against the chassis. As he started work on the car the copper pipe immediately gushed fuel where it had worn away. yikes So this was promptly changed. Not being one to teach my granny to suck eggs, this is something that I think everybody should have a quick look at to save anyone losing their P&J. I am so pleased with the work those guys do at TVRfix, I would highly recommend them.

Looking forward to a weekend of sun driving the rather noisy Griff

Please check those fuel lines guys. thumbup

Great isn't it, The Griffith made a middleaged woman jump out of here skin in a village near me the other day. Just before I went past her I gave some johnny large and she jumped back away from the edge of the path in horror heheevil Still only ever set one car alarm off though which is a tad disappointing grumpy

How much did they charge to replace the fuel lines, both rubber and copper?

Thanks for digging the info out! Actually that does not sound like a bad price at all, it will take me a lot longer than 3 hours to do it myself (!)

Just a cautionary note chaps - its technically illegal to sleeve the zorst. I got pulled by plod and was "advised" to sort it before a traffic cpper heard it who could slap a prohibition notice on the car!!

Its fine to fit an aftermarket system even if louder but not to tamper with the existing set up - supposedly!!

Muind you this was just after Id had the new engine fitted so it did sound like a Nascar hehe

I do agree though - great noise. I have the ACT quad with cherry bombs which is v nice but quieter than the old set up
