ianc Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 I wonder how long the drive train (gearbox, prop shaft, diff, drive shafts, hubs etc) will last. Ian Cornish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Hi Ian, it appears that the GB and diff are uprated. UJ's should be fun Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chris59 Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 (edited) I presume it's all finished by now ? Bob. Yep, in a tree, or a wall, at the first corner. I love the elegant, perfectly adjusted around the gearbox floor cutting. Edited January 18, 2018 by Chris59 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TR 2100 Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 I'm all for driving a TR4 that is excting rather than just fun, but uncontrollable power and potentially lethal is NOT my idea of fun. Haven't heard for a while from Alan - Armstrong was it ? - on his gorgeous TR250 with somewhat (!) increased power! AlanR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Motorsport Mickey Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 I wonder how long the drive train (gearbox, prop shaft, diff, drive shafts, hubs etc) will last. Ian Cornish Brief spec is...new crate ls3 engine with new 6060 6 speed manual gearbox,Monaro diff, custom drive shafts,rear disc brakes,4 pot front brakes,full SW motorsport cage, I think he expected somebody to ask that and took appropriate decisions to negate them Ian.

AlanR That's Alan Atkinson, poobah of the 6-Pack forum who won Most Posts Ever on his build thread ( unless it was the Donald Trump - WTF? thread which was put to death by him ). Rumor has it he's entertaining offers on the '250 ( as it were ) having fallen hard for a Porsche. Cheers, Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
