Smart car Dan, thanks for sharing photos on here, makes me wonder how many TRs are currently registered in Hawaii?, cant imagine many were exported originally to
the island,
cheers,

Steve,
I have run my 5 on webers for the past 5 years and 30k miles without issue, i would confirm that once they are set up by a professional who understands webers and there application with our engines there should not be any problems. As Stuart says it does require all other aspects of the fuel and ignition system to be good.EFI is a step too far(Neils point) in my book, we are dealing with an old sports car at the end of the day and own them because of the character and style that mod boxes just do not have,
cheers,
Laurence

Hi Tom,

195s are about as wide as you really want to go on a TR, imo, and then on a 6inch rim
With a 5.5 minilite i would have thought 185s would be max width, and no doubt the narrower tyre the easier the steering,at low speeds, will be,
cheers,
Laurence.
ps i seem to recall , on a 6 i owned in the 80s ,had 205s on standard 6 steel rims , tramlined like a dog

Simon,
The wheels and nuts came direct from Revolution, from memory the nuts were the same length as originals. Tyres are 195/65/15 Pirelli P6 cinturatos and have worked well with the wheels thus far(5k+miles),-the Revs are 6'' wide.
I believe other colours for the spokes,apart from gloss black, are available,
cheers,
Laurence

Murray,
A set of Revolutions look pretty good on a 6 imo, think the pic of my 6 will give you an idea,
cheers,

Greg,
From what i recall, when the car was for sale,it did sit lower than what would be considered standard, suggesting shorter springs and possibly
why you now have a problem with your new wheels,

From what i learnt on saturday its £75 per hour , not sure how many runs that would give you, it all looked ok on the demo,
but i didnt use it myself,

Front indicators and carrbs suggest an exUS car. The reg plate indicates a CP series car but the plastic scuttle vent and lack
of rear number plate light plinth point in a CR series direction..,

Over time the visors have an unfortunate habit of the foam body disintigrating , the current crop of replicas
are not up to much either,good luck finding a solid original,

Good point Roger, not sure most folk would be that keen to tackle a car fire of any description,-the fire extinguishers
i havelooked at seem to be on the small size and would not really be that much use on anything but the smallest of fires,
cheers,
Laurence

Christine,
Sorry , i am not in the market for classic fire extinguishers but i would be interested where you,and others, locate
the fire extinguisher. In my case i dont have a roll cage,which would seem the obvious place, and understand carrying
in the boot isnt advisable, so where? , pics would be welcome,
cheers,
Laurence

Your car looks very smart, glad you could share ,
to be fair it was the good lady who sorted my own pic, my abilities,on that front, are
pretty poor ,
cheers,
Laurence
