V. PURPLE - cool colour combo and full TVR FSH and only 24k miles. But not full leather like last one (no multichanger) - Cam knackered after 3k miles! Last one no probs in 20k - fed up so LS6 going in.

Put on Tuscan S AP's and Rotors. Fed up of all talk of getting Chevy into one of these and stupid dosh to get real big numbers out of an RV8 - (just too old). Chevy will be 400 - 430bhp), cage and suspension as well on list.

Will make std Tuscan S's and Cerb's seem SLOW.

Yeah - that's right - both Honda AND Toyota make a light weight, 405hp/400lbft, normally aspirated V8 - that costs $5,000.

What was he thinking... :roll:

well i guess if u bring in price, i willnot argue that. But in terms of toyota, i had that supra twin turbo in mind. And its also inline. But like u said $5000.
