the original NFS was the best. Realistic car control far too arcade like now and stupid BHP figures!

There is a Bridge Tyres place in Bridgwater. http://www.bridgetyres.co.uk/

Not being funny chap but after spending that much on upgrades I would want to know what each part was who made it and if their hands were washed with dove or some non brand name before even parting with my cash!

where abouts are you in somerset? If your near taunton bridge tyres are good and reasonably priced. They also have a few other stores around somerset

Got to be the Nacho Lebra (however its spelt)

I was under the impression that if the GE had a intake like the GTE and the cam covers were changed it would fit

how long do you think those R888's will last for? Thinking of getting a set for mine but a little worried about grip in the wet with a light car and low down torque

that looks awesome dude! Will have a hunt in the garage may have some bits and bobs from my old supra.

Smurf_Eater Dont play too much online maybe a bit of warhawk

the paint colour looks miles out on the skirts and bumper

I put it in the tiv for 2 reasons 1) it's better for the engine and 2) it makes more pops and bangs on the over run (thats far more important)

happy for you to use any of mine in the garage....although not sure if its a problem that I dont own either of them any more

looks like it could be a good one and the story line is pretty much the same

I always thought it was only your insurance company who could write a car off due to costs and if it was claimed agains someone elses policy they had to pay out.

That is true Wilder have pretty much rebuilt it from the ground up. However will be interesting to see if Racing Greens top end will at least help. My original point is they are a lot better than they used to be. However it is still I gamble

The early ones had problems with the quality of parts but to say it will never be 'fixed' is a little bit of a strong statment especially as you have just said your self there are companies who are still doing work on them to impriove the design

The chasis will rust if not treated properly and waxoyled. My tuscan is 8 years old and has surface rust after just 20k miles! It will cost me £400 for the garage to take the body off and rub the whole chasis down spray and waxoyle. On the Chimera and Griff its the out riggers that can rot and you have to take the body off to have a look. It can be a DIY job as long as you have the space. I used Rob Ingleby to check over my tuscan, he has been looking at TVR's for people for over 8 years, he either does a finding fee in that case he will do what Jurgan does and find a car in your budget, check it over and test drive it for you as well as negociate a price. Or you can just pay him to look at a car you have seen on pistonheads/auto trader. His site is http://www.findasportscar.co.uk/

it was running fine they pop and bang like a good un, one of the reasons people buy them Getting the Tuscan decatted and that should spit flames on gear changes. Childish I know. The AJP8 engine is actually quite a solid engine, better made than the Speed 6 engine and a lot of the problems have been fixed. Dot be put off by the Speed 6 the parts have come a long way over the 8 years and as long as its had a rebuild after 2003 then it should last as long as it is treated with respect (like dont go over 3000rpm unless oil temp it 70c+) and oil is checked after each run. The problem the speed 6 unit has is a lack of oil to the top end on start up and when idling hot. This of course causes the figure followers to ware more than normal and so they need replacing occationaly. Like most things you can buy upgrades. There are now cam covers with oil spraybars that spray oil onto the followers before start up as well as bigger oil pumps to deal with the low pressure. Racing Green has also just developed a new top end that uses buckets and not fingers, plus they have re done the oil ways.

Have you not thought of a Griff 500? simular to the chimera but looks much more aggressive and has a shorter wheelbase. no major problems with mine and my old man has had 2 tivs over the last 15 years with out a single problem. I find that 90% of people who have problems with them abuse them and expect them to take it.

ummm who is it. Sorry I don't read OK! Magazine

doh just re read it I am sure the right job is just around the corner

well hope you get the job after all that!

I have thought of that but they are a little too small boot wise. However cheap to insure and tax

wow didnt know it was this soon! its only a couple of hours up the road from me so I may very well pop up and say hi

very nice if not a little impractical I dont think you could even get a pint of milk in there lol not that you would want to of course!
