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

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
