[Sorted]

On ebay - um............. nice spoiler.........lol has to be an original wing as no one would make one like that - well maybe they would?

I don't know how it could be a twin screw .
and if it was there is no chance that the 1 gas converter will run it .

[Nikked]

I beleive this car has been around before, V8 conversion...why?

[Dezza]

I think the story behind this car is that it was a TSS but the owner ripped it out and dropped a V8 in. Really defeats the purpose of the car. The bodykit is original for the TSS cars including that awful rear spoiler

That POS has been on ebay for well over a year now - it's continually relisted, still at stupid prices!

[ratman]

Yep the lit was part of the package, don't forget the press car also ran twin tyres - they were supposed revolutionize the auto world but they didn't, stupidist thing I've ever seen. I'll have to dig up some pics and postem tomorrow

here is a link to some pics of the twin tyres but on VL bomadore

also TSS was a body kit maker or modifier, could still be
I remember their adds a long time ago on ford mags, I probably still have the mags stored away.

i looked at purchasing this car about 2 yrs ago from the same seller

i done all the relivent checks ect and it is regoed as a v8 and was orig a twin screw 6 cyl

being that it is so hard to sell makes me happy i decided not to purchase it

No thats incorrect

TSS Wasn't a body kit maker GP Sportcars was, TSS was the name of the car, because the package was centered around the supercharger.

TSS Kit was available with:

-The bodykit
-Bonnetvents (as seen in thiscar), supposedly made of cast Aluminium
-Supercharger (200-210kw-Haltech comp and bosst control as well)
-Suspention upgrades
-JJD twintire system
-Leather and walnut interior


The cars were made to order some were charged some were just bodykits etc. the full package cost around 20 grand.

Edit: this car doesn't have the bonnet bulge, and the front bar is modified from the original, its missing its center horizontal divider

Yeah its popped up on Ebay before, would have been better with the boosted 6 in it.

There was also a TSS for sale a few years ago minus the bodykit

[TOASTED]

that looks bloody awful!

I agree. This is a car that you could buy and run legally with the forced 6. If it still has all the compliance plates, it would have been a good car to have, but they wrecked it. If they really wanted a V8, they should have bought an XR8 or something along those lines.

Wouldnt it need an engineers certificate for it being changed from a 6cyl to a V8?

[[Tonko]]

Damn thats a huge wing!

The wheels are pretty mad though... go dish!

yes rosco it is engineered with the v8 and it also has the tss badges as well

so it could be a good project for someone willing to listen to the owners crap

[Justin@]

That car has heaps of potential, now that it has the v8 in it you could just go nuts with the specs.

Take V8 out, TSS 6 in.

The v8 has more potential that a 6....
Needs a colour change and get rid of the rear wing. Then work the 8 a bit to get it moving.

from memory the plates didnt say if it was an 8 or a 6 cyl

it could be a good opp for the right person

[TUF_302]

Has to be one of the worst looking falcons i've ever seen!, that ring wing looks like it should be on an excel lol!

yawn, A supercharged 6 is more interesting, and just as good as base as the 5l.

Besides its a TSS not a boring old v8 falcon

LOL whats interesting about a boosted 6? they are a pain to drive and only have 1/2 the guts a worked 8 has. And a v8 ea is a lot more rare too.
boosted 6 eseries falcons are for
V8's are the real thing.....

If you want a V8 get a different car, there are a lot of boosted 6 falcons that could flog a v8 left right and center...

Don't get me wrong i like v8's, but you can put a V8 in anything, but you don't always stumble apon a TSS falcon, this car is a waste with the v8 in it.

Agreed. V8 EAs would be cool, but not in a TSS
