Hi mate, We run a SRD stage 3 built auto with Syvecs S6+ and flappy paddles. Currently 850bhp/650lbft and had no issues whatsoever. We’ve been running this setup for around 4/5 years now. We have also kept the stock torque converter as we personally feel it’s nicer to use on the street. Having had a PI3600rpm converter which can be abit “unpredictable” on the street and on lockdown etc. We have a A02B small case diff with a TRD 1.5way LSD, again had no issues and we’ve had that setup for 6-8 years ranging from 550-850bhp. Lee at SRD is the best person to speak with and he will help you with everything you need!

That sounds like a great investment for someone and a rare example.

I know it’s N/A bit in Jamie’s previous comment be mentioned he might go TT auto.

It’s another option if Jamie is wanting to stay TT, I don’t know anyone yet who has fitted the Munro hybrids with a built auto controlled by Syvecs?

Nice project Simon, and a nice write up as always. Hopefully we’ll all be able to meet up at a Bluewater meet soon for a catch up

Awesome! Phil is one of the nicest and most genuine guy I know! I remember when it was a N/A and he brought it to our monthly Bluewater meet. It was a clean example then, now he’s made it perfect!

That’s awesome mate!

On our setup we have 264 cams and stock valve spring and rev to 7500rpm, no issues. You’ll be able to rev a little higher with upgraded valve springs than how your car is currently setup.

This guy is on the wind up surely!!!

Don’t fill the car with 95 octane fuel?

I don’t think you’d buy an LC500 for speed, at the end of the day it’s a GT car. They weigh almost 2000kg with 470bhp, I can imagine they are a great car for munching up the miles in style and comfort IMO. They are a great looking car though that’s for sure.

Heard they are not very reliable, like most of the Jaguar/Land Rover offerings.
