Yep, Its been given a seriously wallet emptying dose of steroids evil

I pick the car up tomorrow Ian. Spoke to Rich shortly after its first test run, and I think he was mildy impressed. Rich is very good at being non committal in his comments but he said "Fcensoredk me its quick!", cant wait to drive it driving

If i make it home in one piece yikes, I'll post up some pics on here tomorrow night.

Hi Hamish

Long time no see/speak... in fact I haven't been on here for ages but as I dropped my Griff off at Richard's this morning I happened to see yours. I guessed there might be something about it on here!

Unfortunately I had to take a 'phone call so didn't get to talk to Richard about it but he did lift the bonnet so I could have a look! Impressive stuff! If/when you are next on a track day (can you still get on track with that exhaust?!) please let me know as I'd love to see it driven in anger!!

Best wishes!

Garry

Hi Gary, Has been quite a whil mate wavey

Managed to pin MA down for a RR session next week, so I'll be on the TVRCC trackday at Snetterton on 21st woohoo.
I'll be at castle Combe again on 5th September porsche hunting evil, and possibly on the 2nd Sept. chasing down TVR's driving

That's if i havent killed myself by then...Its such a pussycat to drive, you don't realise that you're going 20% quicker than you thought you were until you glance at the speedo.
I can hardly wait for MA to map it properly. The chip he sent down to get it up and running must have been mapped for the Exxon Valdes, its haemorrhaging so much fuel on WOT its outside the scope of the Wideband Lambda.

Shread my tyres most likely...lol I think I'd need at least 9J rear rims to get enough rubber in contact with the ground to pull a good 1/4 time.
I can't wait till my next Castle Combe trackday where i can do a back to back comparison, as I know how quick the car was around there.
