Had my griff for a few months now and just wanted share some of the upgrades that I have had done.

Griffith 500 (1998) purchased July 2008 (Kerridges)

ARB Links/Bushes (Steve Heath)
Magnetic Sump plug (Steve Heath)
Silicone Hoses (Racing Green)
Bosh Coil (Racing green)
Magencor Leads (Mark Adams)
Dizzy Cap & Arm (Racing green)
Ignition Amplier (Racing green)
Smooth Bore Induction (ACT products)
Bosh Injectors (Mark Adams)
Bosh Airflow meter (Mark Adams)
ECU chip (Mark Adams)
Oil/Fuel cap (Leven)
Low Temp Thermostat (Leven)
Accumulate charger (Leven)
Dash veneer (London Carriage Craft)
GAZ Golds (Dan Taylor)
Roll Road Work (Torque of the Devil)
New Dash Panel (Green Meanie)

Mark Adams did a brilliant job on tuning the Griffith as you see from the power graphs
and offering tuning advice regarding getting the best from the RV8 engine.
He spent several hours talking me through all the possible the options, costs and I am very pleased with the results

Torque of the Devil did the rolling road work, and they definitely know their stuff and have worked on and TVR's with Mark before.
They did an excellent job on fitting the upgraded parts (I know 'cause I watch them) and checking that everything was working as it should do.

I contacted Dan Taylor of Taylor TVR to do the dash veneer and to fit new dampers and shocks.
Dan provided lots of advice and was very patience and happy to spend time talking me through all the various
options and explain the various TVR niggles (TADTS) Again I am very pleased with the results


Future upgrades for the Griff include:

Brake upgrade (probably standard replacement with upgraded pads and braided hose)
Carbon trumpets & twin throttle plemium
Full respray
HID bulb upgrade

Cheers
