hi all just a note to confess that i crossed over to the dark side tvr cerbra awsome tool but had a few problems,more than you would think.got one now parked up in garage with a cracked block,the crank has snapped ££££££ painfull.so i have decided to get it re built sell and go back to the scoob,
i remember this site to be helpfull and informative so was looking at what you lads might recomend 15k tops thanks in advance daz |
£15k brings into contention every secondhand Impreza out there I think??
The world is your oyster young man - just stay away from the Import Crap!! And NEVER, EVER, get a TVR again!! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?????? TVRs are, were, and are to be .. the biggest piles of ****e on 4 wheels, second only behind Lotus's!! ...................... oh, why do people do it???? Pete |
got to say i still even after this expencive lesson i love it,but cant be doing with thinking will i actually get to where i am going without the aid of the aa.
i spent a lot on my97 but that was through choice,never once did it let me down,geuss its going to be about 2mths before i get back in a scoob but gives me time to see what i can get for my money |

Pete scoobydaz, whats it like as an experience driving a tvr, never had the pleasure? is it comfy, drift worthy etc? dont know much about them fella:thumb: |
sorry havent replied choclate been to ford fair good day out.the tvr cerbra is awsome mate no other word comes close to describing it,for a novice like myself needs to be bone dry and wheels pointing in a stright line before you stamp on the loud peddle or your in a whole heep of trouble,very loud loads a pops and bangs on over run,but and it is a big but for me repair bills runnung costs,servicing etc are to high and to offen.eg engine re build on mine now is going to be 5k,so thats why i am getting it repaired at austec and then selling it.

Check out www.stormperformance.co.uk
He has a couple of nice ones at the mo... One has had lots of mods for track use.... |
You can have mine for £15k. Its a 2001 UK300 running 450bhp. The very recent £7k rebuild is still under warranty with API Engines.

That amount puts you in the middle of blobeye territory. (03 poss 04 STi). If you could scape a bit more, you should be able to get an 05, to get DCCD etc.
Me personally, i'd go for a JDM STi with £15k. |

i remember this site to be helpfull and informative so was looking at what you lads might recomend 15k tops thanks in advance daz 5k is an aweful lot - i really feel for you, was it the speed six by any chance Give SFR engineering a call in Stockport and speak to Shane Fearns, he used to work on the official TVR race team, TBH he can coem across as a bit arrogant but he really knows his stuff - worth doing though if it can save you a grand. http://www.sfrengineering.co.uk/ |
its the 4.2 v8 cheif,and the best place although not the cheepest place for it to go is austec mate,simply because the place and guys there are so highly thought of by the tvr peolpe,hopefully making it better to sell,thanks for the offer though

Nice import Type R or P1.
STI8 3 Door or Saff Cossie. Or just get out the scene and buy an S13 drift car |
