I've seen this, it's awesome, something around 720bhp!!
It's certainly had some money spent on it, it was in last months PBMW too.
I'm sure that prism motorsports website has the pics
http://www.prismmotorsport.co.uk/
but the site is under construction

Sounds amazing. I have a video of a swedish 2.5 turbo @600hp and its the best sounding car i have ever heard. Anyone know where you can host video files?

Hmmm, wonder if that's a Rover V8, or TVR's own funny Vee angle effort.

Yes did see that, but TVR used both engines, and both came with 5litre capacities so it could be either.

That's been about for years, cool bit of kit though.
Way to complex though, silly turbos when they should have charged it.

seen the car been in the car, it is AWSOME. the brakes are to die for, twin 6pots per front wheel, its all his own work, so is the cage, 720bhp at only 16psi of boost!!!
clive is the guy helping me with my M335i turbo, did some of the fabrication work.
no one can say a bad word about his work or his car, if they have the balls too they sould be shot!!
