Jersey Royal Posted August 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 (edited) Jersey, whats the exhaust on the car? Geoff Hi Geoff, Exhaust is a 6-3-1 single bore system. The rear silencer was from Revington and i think its a" Tiger". Problem i had with it was that the tail pipe used to stick out five inches i think beyond the bumper. Living on an Island the car is on and off ferries regularly and the protrusion could possibly cause problems with people walking past it on the boat and banging themselves, i had done it a few times. So i had to chop it in line with the outside edge of the bumper. Regards Guy Ps your cars a great colour Edited August 10, 2007 by Jersey Royal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stephen cooper Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Hi Guy nice motor, But I reckon those wind deflectors and having the windows up totally defeats the object of having the top down though. Definately lose man points for that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ron Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 (edited) I bought a Breezebreaker a while back, beware, it doesn't fit without modification if you are tall and have MX5 seats fitted! I'll probably Ebay it if anyone is interested. Ron PS. Guy, Nice car, nice colour! Edited August 10, 2007 by ron Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ron PS. Guy, Nice car, nice colour! I just bought a used "roll bar", the type that anchors to the rear shelf (via 4 feet). I noticed that my miata seats are hitting the roll bar and I dont even have them that far back. I'm planning to angle the roll bar a tad to stop the seats from rubbing on the roll bar. I think if I do that a plexiglass insert will be fine. A few people in my club have put an LED light bar (running lights plus brake lights) along the top of the roll bar. These LED bars are red, about 15 inches long and an inch or so high and I think it makes a big difference to visibility which is a big issue where I live. Stan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ron PS. Guy, Nice car, nice colour! Hi Ron, I don't remember you getting back to me after you bought the Breeze~Breaker, but I am sure we could have sorted it out. I have been caught out a couple of times with "non standard TRs" and as a result I try and ask prospective buyers as much as possile about their cars and how tall they are etc, this approach has worked fine and only in a couple of instances have I had to make modifications to the "as supplied brackets". One screen was actually custom made for a Sunbeam Tiger in California to a paper template supplied by the owner and it fitted straight onto the car and now features in the photo gallery on my website. Anyway Ron, if you still require some assistance with your Breeze~Breaker please email me via the link on the website and I will see what I can do to help.

Ron PS. Guy, Nice car, nice colour! idid too, if you add a small bracket about 3 inches lonc, it clears the seats cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ron Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 Chris It's no big problem, I was just pointing out to anyone with MX5 seats that it might not be a straightforward fit, I bought it secondhand from someone who had sold their 6 and had hardly used it, I'm not all that convinced I want one, it's the usual story, I like the wind in hair motoring, other half is not so keen---------- so I bought her a bunnet Ron Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Next year will catch boat on the Monday. Look forward to meeting you then. Thanks for your kind comments on my motor, and girlfriend is equally great, but the long blonde hair does tend to smack me in the face when driving at speed. Hopefully planning a trip to South of France in the near future, and hence the Breeze Breaker. I like your rear brake light, i have often thought of fitting one.

jonlar Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 (edited) Hi Stan, Jean and Guy, high level brake lights are all very good, but if the prat in front of you doesn't hold the car on the hand brake, but on the foot brake they can be an almighty pain in the a*se (or eyes) - same with the high intensity rear fogs especially at night, worse IMO than full beam hitting you, and you tend not to see the brake lights. In the UK, any additional (not mandatory) brake or fog lights must be working if fitted for MoT test. Edited August 11, 2007 by jonlar Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In the UK, any additional (not mandatory) brake or fog lights must be working if fitted for MoT test. Interesting observation. I'll have to check that out before I install mine permanently. They are bright when the brake circuit is engaged. If they are over the top I'll stick to just the running lights or take care to not sit with the foot brake on. My problem is half the population here in New England is driving a pick up truck or SUV and they are not even looking down to where a TR6 might be and dont see the rear lamps even if they see the TR. I guess people are programmed to look for certain visual cues or are distracted gabbing on the cell phone: http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e119/fos...%202007/016.jpg Thanks for the warning.
