It has finally arrived :)
I might need a translator for the dyno graph as my German is very limited. I like the TVR it seems to be a fairly new car and I haven't taken car magazines for years so I don't see the newer cars. I love the lines from three sides but don't like all the holes in the rear panel. Very quick though. C

Unbelievable wheel and polish, to me
Looks great. Keep it waxed and in the garage and you could go a long time before paint. C

I would love to see some dyno numbers or some idea of what the engine makes. By the way, love those Euro taillights... Charles

MY first paint job
Painting on a really humid day can give you the orange peel issues because the paint flashes slower. So if you don't give it some time to lay down and flash off, the next coat can cause build up, sagging and orange peel...my 2 cents. I love the transformation and even with some flows the car looks really good and infinitely better. C

Very Cool Ignition Upgrade
That's a good sized coil, I did some looking around at Summit Racing to see what else Mallory had listed. Thanks for the response. I have found this whole thread very interesting and much easier than trying to go trigger wheel and Megajolt. Would Megajolt be superior in any way? Just wondering out loud... Charles

Very Cool Ignition Upgrade
I have a question. Mike W what coil are you currently running and what kind of spark strength is it putting out? When I saw the smaller distributor cap, I was wondering how large of a coil could be run before cross firing became a problem? Many times the caps are larger to allow running stronger coils...

Window crank handle - what is the trick to get it to stay on the regulator?
Will they go on and stay if the door panel is off the door? Narrow down the source of the problem. If they fit with door panel off then its the panel thickness or hole cutout. If they wont its the handle, stud or clip... Charles
