Anti social Tamora
Discussion
Had trouble getting Mrs NTELs Tamora through a the recent MOT due to emissions. One exhaust passed and the other didn't, so therefore I suspected a duff cat. The tester ended up passing the car anyway as he got good readings from one side.
I took off the exhaust this morning and discovered that one of the cats was completely missing. It had obviously been taken out as, whoever had done it had really butchered the can.
To cut another story short, I had a pair of decat pipes that I had made for the Tuscan but wouldn't fit. I installed them on the Tam and, Oh boy, what a noise. The Tam also has a set of Racing Green sports cans.
I honestly have never heard a louder Tamora. Its very anti social, but its a nice noise.
The engine also revs so much smoother and seems much quicker spinning up to speed. I'm sure that both power output and torque have increased judging on how much more (unintentional) wheel spin I was getting in 2nd gear.
It really has transformed the car into a mental piece of kit and Mrs NTEL is well chuffed.

Owe do Scott. Not done the Tussy yet as I need to get some special manifold mating flanges machined up. TVR in their infinite wisdom fitted Sagaris manifolds to my car which have a slightly larger diameter flange at the cat end (ooer missus).Would love some vid clips of both cars if you could

I've never uploaded a vid before so you might have to bear with me on that one old boy.
Its simple enough if you do it through PH.TV...then I can download it and use it (hopefully) in my pistonheads video project

If you have videos of yourself and your Tiv, then it would be a pleasure to use them in the project
More the merrier sir
Hopefully get some good Tiv footage of Daftlad at Harewood tomorrow
SEN 18:
Basically once the video footage has been recorded onto camcorder, then upload onto the PC (assuming its a digital camcorder) then go into PH.TV, sign in with your PH username, select browse (which brings up a list of your computer files) select the file that you know to be the video, and select ok/upload/go/proceed
Then it should upload and you should end up with an email telling you that its gone live
Frazer:
Yeah, TVR hoonage, general hoonage, general pistonheads type events (exluding trips up the Oxo Tower) pistonheads socialising etc....footage of people pissed as pissedonfest would be good to splice in
Anyone got any footage of Vixpys tent going for a walk
Anything gladly received and considered old bean...except "private" videos
