Sounds like a fun ride veg! Fella that runs our local vintage sports car fab shop/vapor blaster’s is a TVR man and daily drives a 3000M. We just sold our shitbox 04 Prius and picked up an ‘18 Mini Cooper S. No comparison to the other cars in this thread, but a big improvement in my world (and made in England).

Think the blue suits the car, wheels set it off also, look better than standard ones 👍

Hi all Not quite 5l but she is a V8 Built a Rush a few years ago including the 4l engine Bloody scary to drive if you were a bit heavy with the right foot😁😁 as total weight of car is around 600kg 😎😎 But that V8 exhaust noise and intake roar was just sublime when you did floor it Best wishes Al

Al is that an RV8? Mine is 1000kg but with 320 bhp I’m thinking about a supercharger as well is it quick yep does it handle yes after a fashion do I feel engaged absolutely. I could easily have bought a faster better handling car I just want to be involved.

Head were stage 1 but breathing.on a set of dellorto quad downdrafts
Lots of other internal stuff done and other stuff such as custom pulleys and thermostat housing clutch was A T VR unit hooked up to a R380 box with a Cossie rear axle

Tim, TVR looks great! Love those colours, same as I had on my 2000 GC8 with the P1 wheels fitted. At the time that was super new and probably when your TVR got them. I had black wheels on my grey 2001 Elise as well. Funny tho think grey and black wheels were ever a new thing now, but they were once lol Al, love the Dax. I had a Caterham R300 with the roller throttles, love a bit of intake roar

Well that's what happens when accountants have the reigns.... the possibilities of many a genius have come to nought because of their paper pushing button counting, they dont see potential only costs.
