I do have a proper cold air intake on the car. The bonnet wouldn't close with those filters on the throttle bodies! We only did it that way for lasiness during dyno testing. I should point out that the car actually belongs to my wife, although we try to share the cars 50/50. She likes fast cars as m...

It has had a hard life for a TVR. Both the previous owner and I had used it as a daily driver in all weathers - over 100k miles on it - and I make it live outside a lot of the time.

It's now almost complete, and very non-standard. Just a couple of bits of carpeting to do, and a heater to repair. I also have an Impreza ST...
