Taraka

[nogden]

Have had my Taraka for 21 days, how do the rest of you rate it?

I like mine, haven't really had anything to compare to mind.
Find town driving a bit of a pain as it bucks about a fair bit.

Everyone who has been out in it seems to think its a good one.

Think Mrs FFG has had this done some time ago to her 500, maybe the person to ask?

[nogden]

thanks, for telling me the person to ask.

I think the package has changed a bit since our install number 10 about 6 years ago.
It has been very reliable with no major issues (usual servicing and ancilliary problems) but the car is used daily, and I mean daily, so testament to a good engine build by TVR Power. First few had a wilder cam which wasn't driveable below 2,000 revs and wasn't good when we lived in Birmingham as most of the driving was around town. To be fair to Dom the cam was changed at no cost to us and although we lost 15hp or so it became so easy to drive and very smooth all the way through the rev range.
We had to have a rebuild anyway so it was a bit of a no brainer.
Freebie next one Dom?

I can't seem to find any power or torque numbers for a Taraka rebuild, does anyone know what you could expect post rebuild?
