Couldn't be bothered cleaning the car this weekend due to the weather so had a go at the engine instead:p Also recently replaced my RS*R exhaust which was far too loud, for a Mugen Twinloop.

Manifold heatshield used to look like this untill I sprayed it with some Halfords high temp paint.

Aye I need more driving skills, not more power. I'm not really doing the car justice, though I must admit it's so much fun trying:D

Only future mods planned are Mugen CAI (on order from nengun) and some bigger brakes.

Maybe someone out of shot owns a TVR? :)

heh, it's an RAC Autowindscreen van.

Wish I could afford a Spec IV for my car before there's none left. :(

Hows the twin loop, does it still sound aftermarket?
 
Great job, that heatsheild looks supurb :)

Love the twinloop too. I'm tempted to get a quieter exhaust for mine. It sounds great at high revs but is a bit 'farty' and 'buzzy' at low revs.

Sounds stock at low revs and awesome in VTEC, whereas the RS*R was very boomy at low revs and actually made my head hurt in VTEC:D

I do miss the backfiring/popping though:o
