Hi all

I am Paul Robilotti, I am from Englishtown NJ, USA.
I currently own a 1971 TVR 2500 which has a GM 3.4L 60* V6 with a Tremac TKO600 (RR) 5 speed, This replaced the Ford Essex V6 and 4 speed. This engine is putting out 200HP & 247 ft/lbs of torque, about what a 1963 Griffith 200 was putting out back then. I have also owned at one time a 1969 Triumph GT6+ and a Lotus Europa Special (JPS version #021). Looking foward to talking with a learning new things from the gourp.

Regards
Paul Robilotti
 
Welcome aboard, the TVR forum is very interesting to me.

Welcome Paul! Glad to have you aboard. We don't have a huge TVR following het but we do have a separate TVR forum and our TVR numbers are growing. Great to have another TRV guy aboard!

Welcome, Paul - this week I'm pulling that same engine/trans setup out of one of my MG's! did you stay with EFI or go carbureated?
 
Hi Paul:

Great to see another NJ guy here.
Nice little collection of cars too!

I am supposed to stop by Englishtown raceway this Fall to see what's doing on their "roadcourse". I know it's built but I get the impression they can't use it. Do you know anything about it?

Hey if you want to go racing with that TVR, let me know! We'll be at Pocono in a few weeks (plus Lime Rock, The Glen,and Summit Pt. later in '07).

Thanks all, I will answer the questions, No SUs my V6 has a 390 Holley on it. O great Yoda, LOL, if you are coming down to Englishtown give me a call, Go to TVRCCNA.ORG then go to Technical Information and then go to NEW!!! The TVR Tech Squad, you will find me, give me a call if you come down. As for that roadcourse I don't think it is EVER going to be used, I would stop at the office about it and would get no information. Part of the course is right near the fence that is near the Pension Rd. so if a car went through it, it would go right on the the roadway. There are pictures of my car with the 3.4 in
https://www.mgexperience.net/phorum/index.php?f=28. if you don't know this site it is great for your MG, with lots of info on the4 3.4 conversion for MGs. I remember EMRA at the Bridge. When I figure how to post pictures I shall. LOL
 
Paul,
Welcome to BCF, it's always glad to have another TVR fanatic on board. Are you coming up to the NE Region TVRCCNA gathering at Watkins Glen next weekend?

With my new knee, I cant't sit in a car long, let alone drive one. I have not gotten the offical OK from the doctor to drive.

Hope to Make Tony's Brits on the Delaware October 20th.

Sorry it was so long before I saw your post. Yes Englishtown is still here, Except its real name is Old Bridge Raceway Park. Old Bridge were the track realy is relized what a popular place it is so they made the track change there name. Track has been there about 42 years.
