Bought myself a TR6

[hilly10]

I have a straight through big bore exhaust on mine, it just sounds beautiful at full chat, it turns a few heads I can tell you. Six into two into one

This was mine for a few years. It had a very rorty sports exhaust. My wife knew I was on my way home about 5 minutes before I actually arrived. It was also very scary in the wet. The local carburettor specialist, Eike Welhausen, had it on his rolling road to set up the webers, and reckoned it had 170bhp at the rear wheels. Had a fast road cam too. I sold it to fund building a garage and I got fed up of rewelding the diff mounts every few hundred miles!

Supercharger? If you’re going to modify I’d guess supercharging would give biggest bang for buck and more easily reversible... modifying is a disease

Maybe that's what the OP's missing drivebelt is for!

Haha, that would be funny

Pictures of the 'mystery of the missing belt', any ideas?

Looks like an Air con compressor.

+1

Definitely aircon. But is that the remains of a factory fit system, or an aftermarket kit?

[Adenauer]

Aircon?

Why in the hell wou........

.......ahhh, perhaps because it lived in the states?

[Adenauer]

Yep, I think you're right, thanks for clearing that up

God, I bet that sounds utterly epic.

Since I was a kid I've adord the sound a TR6 makes. My mate rocks up in his now and again and I literally stand outside to har it every time he heads off in it.

Glorious noise, even on standard pipes.

That’s a very clean car in a very clean garage!

[hilly10]

It’s since had a matching floor

Arrrrrhhh my eyes.

Yellow overload

Except for the number plate! Monochrome plates will never look 'right' on a reflective plate era car!

[Adenauer]

No way I'm painting my garage floor red

This, on the other hand

Each to his own, I get nothing but positive remarks

Brilliant idea.

Would love to have a garage that big.

I'm with you on that but don't particularly mind either way. At least the earlier TR6s came with silver on black plates before reflective plates were required.

Having said that, my garage floor is rather more restrained:

Brick walls and cement floor, but I'm proud of the door.

We won "Mission Ignition!" on telly, but I lost the stone/paper/scissor game afterwards, for the car! So I took the poster!

I put some flags on the walls in my garage to liven it up a bit:

Now you just need to source some chrome-edged repeater lenses. Not easy to find, but not impossible...

True, I'm waiting for one side from Rimmer Bros ... can't remember which side I need but it's not in stock

Just checked again and it's the RHS that's unavailable. I've decided to go a different route in that I'm sending some non-chrome-edged ones away to be spray chromed. If the result is good I'll take a photo and post on here.
