RichE - tell us what has been done and where you got it - looks fantastic
Wipes drool, from keyboard
Can I ask, is it �Black� black, or kind of a BMW style Carbon Black…
David
It’s TVR Mystic Black - took me ages to pick a black after being told I couldn’t have 240R black. Originally saw the colour on a Sagaris and fell in love. BMW Carbon black was third on the list.
Got to agree the car looks stunning, but why no AO48s
Errr - I’m between sets of A048s I popped these bullet proof Khumos on to do a Walshy day (the same day the 406 reversed over us on the way home). I didn’t fancy ripping up a perfectly good set of Yokos on an airfield on a scorchio hot day (the tight Yorkshire man in me )
Some smoked side repeaters would look good on it too
That’s top of my ‘new’ list of things to do to the car

Take a seat - this could take a little while.
It’s had Nitrons and Nylatrons bushes fitted by the Edwards.
Honda conversion + JRSC, Hondata KPro, Quaife diff, Accusump, TODA Racing lightened flywheel & TODA Racing clutch all fitted by the Edwards. The MSC baffled sump was fitted by the guys at MSC.
EliseParts carbon fibre seats supplied by RussT fitted by the Edwards during the conversion.
Spent 4 hours on a dyno in the capable hands of Guy at CPL Racing getting the mapping and SC set up (think he still has piccies of the car in its original silver under Customers Car section).
Big AP brake kit fitted by Dan at JPS.
MS Roof, engine cover, front clam supplied by MADDOG - fitted by Dan at JPS.
MS Wing supplied by the Edwards but fitted by Dan whilst it was getting the rest of the body work done.
Plumbed in extinguisher fitted by Dan at JPS.
err - think that’s it.
It’s TVR Mystic Black…
What I was wondering, is if your black, is �black� or just very, very, very dark blue (like the BMW paint); or is it just the pics that bring out the blue tone�
Also, aren�t you kind of worried someone is going to come along and press your extinguisher button, or have I just lost all faith in humanity�
Either way, I feel I should reiterate� your car looks stunning .
David
i think i right in saying a car reversed over it
simply stunning! loving your work!
I reckon that is the most ultimate specced road going Exige possible - nice one Rich

Hehehehe - there’s a controller inside the car that ‘arms’ that button so passing scrotes that can’t keep their hands to themselves can click away and nothing will happen

Yep - they sure did : clicky
Looks good Rich …
Good to see black is the new white
Black Honda Exiges Rock
Sounds like you need softer engine mounts then
Rich, I’m glad you have the car back and in better shape than before!
But tell me (maybe I missed it) did the insurance pay for most of the work?
or did you buy it back and with the money they gave you it was enough to do this all?
(just wondering)

Hi
There was no structural damage to the car, it was all bodywork damage and a broken radiator. The insurance covered that. I covered the rest of the bits and pieces…they’ve been things that I’ve wanted doing and just used the opportunity of it being off road for a while to get it all done in one shot…an early Xmas prezzie to myself if you will
the car looks incredible…words fail me otherwise!!
glad you got it all sorted
Dean
Ah, makes sens, good on you!

your probably quite happy now eh…
