I might come up if it isn't a race weekend and maybe see if I can get another friend to drag a racing TR8 up. ...   01-31-2007 03:01 pm

Is your roll bar a single hoop design? If so, have someone come in and weld a cross bar going left to right at about ...   01-24-2007 11:00 pm

Judson, I don't remember my head having any epoxy on it, do you? I also don't think that my head is a JH III head? Ron ...   01-19-2007 08:42 pm

You might want to get the shop manual for the car to help out with a lot of the disassembly. While short on pictures there ...   01-13-2007 11:17 am

Another JH race car is a good thing.  What type of racing do you intend to do with it and with what sanctioning body? Best, Ron ...   01-11-2007 01:42 am

My bad, I thought for some reason you were after springs. R ...   01-10-2007 08:06 pm

www.coilsprings.com - I have bought many sets from them and they do great work. Get the length you want at whatever poundage you want, about ...   01-10-2007 06:03 pm

There is a website for that meeting. It is in Stauton VA, near Waynesboro and not far from Charolettesville VA. I hope to be up ...   01-06-2007 04:43 pm

I had to drop the entire subframe to service my front suspension. Everything was a pain to remove and very difficult, uppers, lowers, I could ...   01-06-2007 02:57 pm

I quickly went through the Brooklands Jensen Healey compilation of road tests from magazines of the day that I bought some months ago. ...   12-30-2006 12:20 am

Pretty quick in my experience. About 3-4 weeks tops, just make sure you phone back about 5 days after order to make sure it sticks. ...   12-24-2006 01:10 am

You can do pretty well removing your tstat and using compressed air with a rag to blow water from the block. Then, keep flushing with ...   12-18-2006 07:41 pm

I'll check them for you, but, if you don't lower the front you'll have an odd looking car.  The stock fronts are quite tall and ...   12-15-2006 02:51 pm

The car is by no means dialed in. But, up front at the 650 lbs springs and they felt good with the limited track time ...   12-13-2006 12:50 pm

I seriously looked at the coil over solution too, because that is legal for me in IT.  But, I didn't see how I could make ...   12-09-2006 03:51 pm

Nice job fellows! Wow that car is nice!! Too nice for me, I'd just muck it up, good work! ...   12-09-2006 03:23 pm

Nice work, that is a good job and I know you'll enjoy it. What sort of carrier did you guys end up using? Might be ...   11-22-2006 01:16 pm

That is correct as far as I know. None of the Getrag BMW boxes made match the pattern of the 235 transmission, unfortunately. I have ...   11-19-2006 01:19 pm

This is odd. So, if it hits the head and not the valves then it hits the head on the compression stroke I think, otherwise ...   11-13-2006 07:04 pm

Sylva, So what I need is a 911 spring tensioning system?  I have not seen them before and will try and locate a source for one. ...   11-13-2006 02:19 pm

Ditto what Greg said, skip the rebuild kit and go for a new TR6 master. It bolts straight up, works great, and you can get ...   11-11-2006 03:56 pm

Well, just checked the latest issue of GRMS  - it actually came yesterday - and didn't see the place I was looking for. I'd give these ...   11-10-2006 03:35 pm

They can be lightened to a certain extent, but, nothing like bolting on a aluminum flywheel. There is a place that a lot of racers use ...   11-10-2006 02:28 pm

They are not normal lug nuts.  Where as most wheels center on the dished out area on the wheel where the lug nuts sit, the ...   11-08-2006 07:45 pm

Hi Dan, pinning every 90 degrees is plenty.  Friction from the ring should still be the primary force holding it on the flywheel. R  ...   11-08-2006 02:53 pm

Didn't get that far - sold those things off before that!!!! That is a lot of weight.  With those square bumpers one is adding around 100lbs ...   11-08-2006 12:28 pm

You can pin it on too, I know some folks do that as well.  A few small diameter roll pins carefully put in through the ...   11-08-2006 11:25 am

Does anyone make a conversion to run a modern spring loaded tensioner or an oil pressure driven one? It'd be difficult to imagine getting a ...   11-06-2006 04:24 pm

Sounds like 7lbs is enough to do the job then. I'd love to be able to use a flywheel this light as I'd imagine it'd ...   11-06-2006 04:05 pm
