Go to TTE and convince them to convert my car to 1994 WRC spec

OR

Buy the one Gary linked again (you're welcome  ;))

OR

New forged engine, new seats, harnesses, cage, new roof, respray inside and outside + protective coatings, few sets of new wheels so I can match them to my mood, (heated) garage, drive it to Spain so el Matador can sign it (+ pics), ship it to Japan to try and improve my times;

..and show it to Smokey Nagata, then back home. Wash/wax it. With the change I'll buy another CS and restore it showroom condition with as much as possible brand new parts.

Ohh..  :P

Depends if the 0.5 delay is dialed in already, which would give a gross of .73 which is about right.

Tho I would be more impressed with the 8.5 sec quarter with a 153mph terminal

;D ;D ;D I would have hoped for a higher terminal ;D ;D ;D

If you're gonna have me wheels away, tis only temporary ;) bring them back in anthracite.

If it's TVR paint, won't it break?

You could open a shop selling the various colours? Pikey Pete's Paint Emporium ;D ;D ;D ;D
