7 Quarts!

V8's are overrated, I wouldn't bother!

If you want the pan volume I'll see what I can do for you, however looking at your frontal photo, it's not big enough, but let me confirm.

Stay focused Bobster a new world is round the corner.  You may even lose weight now that you won't be eating so many doughnuts at the weekend!

As per FB - glad you're both okay.

Excellent, I can now hide this part of the forum   (I hope I can anyway)

But just to point out GZ - Yes it was the episode with the Rimac.  Who cares if it has half the power of the roadster, my point being past and current vehicles they put through the tunnel created presence and drama!  The only way you'll get drama from an EV is if you crash it, which is why Hammond crashed.  He clearly found the Rimac so undesirable he was prepared to spare his life.  If it wasn't for the rescue services Hammond would have been quite happy killing himself and the Rimac.

Not only that, I've come to a conclusion. This was spurred on by series 2 of the Grand Tour. The tunnels, which pin pointed the absolute reason why electric is dull no matter how hard it pulls.

Its like watching a porno with the sound off. There is no drama, sound of silence and zero theatre and really no excitement what so ever. Oh and it only lasts 7 minutes. 

Doesn't it take like 1hr to enable ludicrous mode......(now THAT is a pain!)  ha ha I just press the bloody loud pedal and **** all over this "warm the batteries BS".

Hot damn those seats! Especially now they're in the car.

yeah go careful with Bob and his welding. Still it's better than my welding

I just can't believe the amount of time has been spent here.... it's like the most discussed subject on a petrol heads forum. It's a turn off to be brutally honest.

I swear to god, do you guys have nothing better to do in your lives than talk about ****ing electricity!

I could have sworn this was a 350+370 forum. All I see at the top is EV this, save the world that. This really doesn't have a home here.

I am really looking forward to this, I secretly did the Cornering Masterclass with the BRZ/GT86 boys this weekend and it was BRILLIANT, so many new things to learn, I just hope I've got the hang of some of it by the time the drift date comes around.

Sneaky!

I just hang onto a few helium balloons before getting on the scales mate

You could try this one below.... stand a better chance!

(And yes the exhaust is tight now, let me think who tightened it up in the first place  )

Car is ready - I'm ready.... although since the last skid pan I need some new rear tyres, don't think these will last the day.  

I tried 3 times to get a drive in the Ultima. A track experience cat thing, somewhere near Bedford but each time it was scheduled it was cancelled due to technical issues with the car.

I also believe building the Ultima plays a good part towards me experience.

Ultima - that's my next step and I'd be pushing for that if I was you.  You clearly want something road and track, so that rules out a Radical.

I've heard and seen that the Ultima is very noisy..... although V8 and weighing next to nothing is a huge attraction and equally has some decent down force.

Any sort of credibility has been lost already, Shmee150 has bought one. 

Just finished watching Shmee, he's such a dullard and his over zealous "what expensive car can I buy next!"

still, yes it looks @*!# that's for sure. I don't mind the back end apart from the F type spoiler (which I hate on the F as well). Diffuser is too high. Side isn't bad if you block out the front. Lights front bumper and the swoops are flipping horrendous! 

Interior isnt bad, but it's not good either.  Would be interested to see what torque this 5 litre puts down. 

In summary they have totally and utterly ruined what was TVR. They should never have called it a Griffith.  They have lost my vote completely.

So basically the HR is for sports car people, the DE is for diesel people  

 

I had a Revup, so I've no idea where that leaves me  

To be fair, if I recall the revup was good for mid-range torque. Although nowadays I've forgotten what "searching for torque" is like these days...... 

Race Dash now sold - please lock ta very much

Deal 20 seconds   I'll even start in 4th gear if that makes you feel better!

Thanks mate, As I said slowest lap buys lunch - I'm sure a man with a 500HP V8 Zed is up for a little challenge and if it's Castle Combe I'll spot you 10 seconds it will be fun

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and I get a free lunch  

 

AND as I've also said, I've had 4 laps of the ring, no other track time.  Novice versus Amateur - P2WR Zed 300bhp per tonne versus 580bhp per tonne..... + Aero..... I say 20 second head start!

Deal? 

Great job Chris - pleasing to see all that hard work has paid off.....  Don't forget to shout me for ShakeDown!  And no I'm not racing you before you even dare ask!  

That does look like an nice day out even if not competing. Good show on your position Andy considering the competition.

Apart from a Radical  

SC VX220 - been in Jetpilot's - excellent car, who cares it's Vauxhall..... you drive a Datsun right?  

Get one on track and they're a great laff!
