TVR Speed 12. This is the second time in 3 years that this animal has come up for sale. LOL, perhaps it is simply too much car.

I have an article of it from EVO magazine, they say its not too bad once you warm up the fresh slicks and only running the detuned ecu setting. LOL, TVR did truly build the bad bay supercar :(

"It is a one off, horribly dangerous and ugly/beautiful as hell. Torque of the Devil." :P

Thats John Reid's car (ex director of TVR motorsport back in the day) He actually has a pair that are both up for sale. I love the last quote in the add "Torque of the Devil."

Looks bloody hardcore, any specs on it? Im not familiar with TVR cars

It should, John and co built this car with 1 target -- McLaren F1

7.7L V12

approx 880HP

881Nm

1000Kg's

hopefully the racing one will make an appearance in the FIA GT90 competition and play with the McLarens, F40, Porsche GT1's.

and they have a sense of humor :D

I have always liked the TVRs as they have always been a raw sports car with entertaining (read oversteer :D ) handling, good power and great sound. The speed 12 is just off tap!

Not to put a downer on your dreams there mate but to my knowledge you can't actually get one on the road here in Vic due to some BS reason that they don't have a collapsable steering column :D Not sure if this applies to a personal import though...

I'm a fan of TVR's, very cool cars. Don't think too much of their interiors though...

They were an absolute dime a dozen at Le Mans, I was amazed at how many there were in the carpark/camp sites. Most common car their it seemed.

One for you Troy :D

I have to laugh at what Jeremy Clackson said about TVR "TVR seem to build a car, Put in into production, Then Find out what they Handle like"

But...I wouldnt say no to owning one, Id just give it to SK for a week and say "make it steer properly" :D

    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same. 
    • I have an elite 2500 running an adapter harness on an rb25de neo r34. I took the butterfly out and removed all that junk. But I also went Plus+t at the same time. The butterfly thing works in reverse to the boost solenoid on the Gtt if that makes sense
    • yeh they are 235/45/17 up front and 255/40/17 in the rears. I still didn't get my answer if i can fit a 18x9 up front. I want to get 4 of this and see if they will fit before committing as they didn't see an 18x8 as an option but there is a 18x9.5 also.   Enkei RS05-RR 18x9 35mm ET 5x114.3 75.0 Bore Matte Gunmetal Wheel
