Hi all. I own a TVR Tasmin 280i, and that’s what you will most likely see here. Car needs work here and there and as a progress goes i will post sort of tutorials on how i fixed it. There is a lot of materials to read, but i had trouble finding visuals on how to fix things in Tasmins, so may be some of these will come in handy to few lucky of us - owners of legendary Wedges. )))

Tvr Carisma. Will it start after sitting for a year?
Our celebrity car showroom queen was sitting on the floor of the store for about a year. It’s time to let her breathe some fresh air and get some exercise.

Tvr 280i ignition lock replacement
มุมมอง 755 หลายเดือนก่อน
Key in ignition switch stoped working while I was in the middle of a trip, I had to brake the lock to get home. So… quick research, help from TVR groups and pure luck finding new old stock part (Rover SD1 ignition barrel) and a car is back on the road.

For a while I had “sweating” around my water pump, and even though I had the replacement part, I was too lazy to change it….. well…. Pump started making grinding noises, so I had to man up and do the job.

Happened to take a deeper dive in to understanding and resolving a pop up light that got stuck half way up(or down if you are a pessimist😂). This video might be just enough for you to avoid spending time and money getting the new one(or or double them up if you are a pessimist 😂)

I wish i could see this car race a 2003 nissan altima on van dam st. Merry Christmas!
Joe…. I d race you in Astoria, but they don’t let me in!…. Merry Christmas
Is this a copy of the Max Power TVR or the actual one ? looks like a replica of the gold one i remember at Max Power Live .
This is the actual one. We got it from Ed Bolian and in contact with many people from MaxPower
Wow I would be embarrassed to drive that ugly ass thing
Love my TVR Tamora 😁
I'm on my 3rd 😬 I've had a Chimaera, Cerbera, and currently own a Tamora 😁
@@classicminiworkshop eventually I’m getting a Tuscan…. But 280i is my good weather daily for the past 10 years
what the hell - started and ran first time !!! Most TVRs don't start after being sat overnight LOL. Mad Car not for introverts
@@montanaheaventush it was a gamble, I even played lotto that day😂😂
I remember seeing this, as a youth in Max Power. This car needs saving. After all the abuse, IT'S STILL HERE. It's begging for someone to gut the interior, if it needs it, a new chassis, etc. Then get rid of the front and maybe do a more modern interpretation of the Cerbera. Obviously an engine rebuild and upgrade is necessary, maybe an engine swap to a big V8 or a decent v12. Make it a Monster again.
@@ih8temoney well… we can get a generic Cerbera and do all that…. This is a piece of history (even if it is a piece of sh…)
@tvrusa5196 I was thanking more Speed 12 Cerbera, one that won't kill you instantly, not a Generic Cerbera.
My dad had a TVR cerbra, he crashed it over taking a bus, he had just left the pub! He was going to let me drive it, but instead I got a phone call 😢
@@RMS101 sad story, I hope everyone came out ok
love Ed Bolian coolest car guy ever
Very nice dude in real life as well.
The guy who built this car is still in business
@@dimmadibby7644 yep
It’s taken an amazing cerberra and made it look awful
@@Muzza72 that’s why we don’t burn it…. So history wouldn’t repeat itself))))…..
That has got to be the ugliest car ever. the interior is horrendous
Wild car tune culture of the 90s…“Pimp my ride” on steroids…. What else would you expect?😂😂
And yet it somehow reminds me of the Bugatti early interior.
I have never driven a TVR no. I wish I had. I wish I owned one in fact. But my dad had a Triumph TR8 - with a 4 litre Rover V8, so I think that's preeeetty close. By the way, is that rear spoiler bolted to the chassis?
I think it is pretty close to tvr(especially reliability wise😂😂😂) so yes it counts. And no none of the spoilers bolted to anything serious…. Just drilled through the fiberglass and used regular nuts and bolts🤦♂️
The TR8 is a pussycat compared to the Cerbera.
Thanks much for the video...where did you secure the inverter/electrical ballast?
Is there a part name and number
So glad I sold my 280 few months ago!
😂😂😂
Thank you! I was searching for a video of this type for over an hour lol. I think you helped make up my mind to go with the other style
What year is your car?
1986
Love it. How's maintenance cost and finding parts?
How’s the tint holding up so far
Hi - where did you manage to get the part from - I can’t find one in Uk ?
Where are you from?
You’re a very good mechanic and step by step video’s Thanks Artem
HELLO, WHERE DID YOU PURCHASE YOUR WINDSHIELD.?.. JUST BROKE ON MY TASMIN...:(
Pilkington glass
Such a helpful and well produced video information
i love tvr
This car is the reason I bought Max Power magazine. I would never buy such a chav publication, but it had one of my favourite TVRs kitted out to look like my fav car at the time , the Speed 12 on the cover.
We have this magazine ….. and because of the magazine we bought this TVR😂
I have very early pictures of the Carisma
I would love to see them! If you can send it to obscurerides@gmail.com . Thank you and happy new year
@TVR USA you can see a video I took 11 years ago th-cam.com/video/YvGnJsEAJbc/w-d-xo.html
Skinny boy!! Happy holidays. The haircut looks fresh.
Is it the stock US exhaust with catalytic converter or split true dual pipe? Trying to decide what to do with mine...
It is the stock US exhaust… without catalytic converter….. I don’t like the true split pipe…. Because it captures the sound of 3cylinders on each side VS 6 cylinders from stock exhaust
@@tvrusa5196 perfect! Спасибо
Nice video and very happy to follow your channel 😊
Thank you!!!
Sounds almost as good as an Altima.
😂😂😂😂…. You still rocking it?….”from cradle to grave” type of thing?
Bout to put some on my tundra but I’m going to smoke out the indicator since a tire smacked me on the highway and sent them off my cars black so the chrome signals throw off the car
That's a great jacket.
Hello Could you tell me the measurements of the bushing ? Inner diameter, outer diameter and length? Thank you
Hi, I wish I could, but I have no clue
I like Nissan Altimas better. Lol
they ask you if the 280i is a Triumph right? A TR7/8. I'm asking because my dad had several Triumphs through my childhood and younger years. Including a TR7 and TR8. The TR8 even had a TR8 sticker on the trunk, made in the TVR font.
1:14 who asked you if it was a what? a Triumph?
Yep…. Most asked question about a TVR “is it a triumph?”😂
The ECU diags can be of limited use at-idle and under no-load conditions - better to do a capture while actually driving. But for set-up when stationary you want to try and get the adaptives close to zero and have the throttle percentages the same across the two banks. If you’re getting a reasonably smooth idle at below 900rpm then that’s a very good sign that it’s firing on all cylinders. The adaptives were a bit positive (between 0 at 10%) which is ok, -5% to 0 is preferred (leaves the ECU plenty of room to enrich further, if required (+/-30% is the limit for short term fuel trim). Lambdas are switching which is good (narrow band lambdas offer little useful information, other than that switching means they’re doing their thing). Readings seemed fine, although engine may have been cold. I would read more about setup and then try and even up the throttles, but it won’t make too much difference anyway. Is it lumpy or does it kangaroo about around 2k rpm and then clears up by 3k? If not, then you’re setup is fine. Have you got the ball/socket link bar between the two throttle spindles or a rose-jointed one (preferred)?
Thank you for the reply…. I will take a look and update you on the ball/ socket thing…. And I don’t here it jumping between 2-3k…. It’s pretty smooth.
@@tvrusa5196 if it’s smooth then you’re doing well. The throttle link bar probably isn’t an issue. Well done - how does it drive?
@@I999-g2s it drives well(for the space where I can drive it)…. We haven’t registered it yet, so I can’t really test it out
I used to spend a lot of time in the US and joined the North American Club. Always enjoyed the 'Out of the Woodwork' event in Carlisle PA and the evening Banquet. A great bunch of people. I've had 6 TVR's over the years since my first in 1997 and still have the 2006 Tuscan Convertible I bought in 2009.
Waiting on Tuscans to be legal in states to bring one in…. Meanwhile saved the UK from Carisma by Jamie Shaw))
Came here from Shooting Cars.
Thanks)…. Zack is cool dude
@@tvrusa5196 Yeah he is. I'm curious as to what Mr. Regular would have to say about it.
I hope you are going to unchav it.
Looks like a locker key. Best engine sound I have heard in a long time and this is coming from someone who watches several car videos on TH-cam everyday. Maybe the original colour was the iridescent Chromaflair, that has a purple base which changes to a metallic blue when the light hits it.
Thank you. I appreciate it
