My S6 has 3K on the clock so not exactly old and I am hoping I will not be in the market for one for quite a while but once you have driven their demo car it makes you think may be it would be worth changing now.

As others have said; really quiet especially as it was really cold when I got there this morning and it just sits there and revs really stable on the start up.

Martin drove first and after warming it up he gave it some beans and then it was my turn. It revs very freely and responds as it should cruising along at 35 in a way mine just can’t replicate. My engine is practically new but the racing green engine is how it should be. Martin had no problem taking it to 7,500 revs’ I only took it to 7,000 but it just pulled like a train.

If your engine needs some work doing on it then I think this is the route to take, it really is how it should have copme from the factory.

Do you know any prices, I see it has a 3yr warranty which shows confidence in their product, it all sounds good, and with the write up in the TVRCC Sprint mag it seems the way to go if the price is right.

Was fortunate that on one of our doughnut runs to Racing Green today they allowed me to go out in the T350 with their new engine in it. Must say it was totally different to how my Tamora used to sound, on tick over so much quieter and no rattles from the engine. Even after a service the Tamora was never this quiet. After taking the T350 out on some country roads and getting caught up behind every Sunday driver going, we managed to get onto the 331 and open her up, wow, where as the Tamora screamed to 6500 revs and you felt you had to change up before something gave way, this just wanted to keep going and kept pulling up to 7000, you really felt it was getting there with ease and had plenty more left. And the noise a lovely deep note and without a sports exhaust. Where as i used to have to induce the pops and burps with the Tamora, the T350 just did it on song, lovely to listen to. Around town it felt it hadn't lost any of the torque and drove smoothly. I would recommend anyone with a speed 6 to pop down to Racing Green and get one of the very nice people to take you out, I assure you, you won't be disappointed.

Rumour has it that it may be out on the Hampshire meet this Sunday. driving
