Uprating the TR6
Discussion
Hi Jon,
Wow, I liked the pics of your cars. Particularly you grabbing a hand full of over-steer in the TR5! Nice!!
If you could point me in the direction of what is best to do to my '6, I'd be grateful. I get most of my work done by Neil Revington, and the guys down in Zoyland do a great job. But I guess what I'm looking for is someone who understands the best process to go through and can advise the stages someone like me should undertake (via someone like Neil) to end up with a fast road car.
I've had the Revington 6>1 stainless exhaust system fitted (which I belive has the extractor manifold) and as mentioned before an over-head throttle mechanism. I've also put a coned K&N air filter on the end of the plenum and done away with the standard filter set-up. Everything else (apart from a bosch fuel pump) is standard in the engine. Neil has also fitted his suspension upgrade to the car, so it has uprated roll-bars, re-bushed, hard rack mounts, etc. The car has only done about 60k miles, so for its age it runs well. So, as a plan, what should I do next? I was thinking of small scale mods to get more performance without breaking the bank - electronic ignition, geared starter motor, pacet fan and remove the direct drive fan, etc. After that, I'm a bit lossed!!
On a slightly different note, I have a 'clonking' from the rear end of my car when I drive over bumps. Sounds like a golf ball in the boot. Any idea what this could be? I have been told it could be a worn drive shaft, or diff mountings. Any advice appreciated!
