I've always liked this car's styling! Very cool.

I've been considering getting a TR6 as a hobby car, but have been reading a lot of negative comments about poor workmanship and unreliable operation. My brother bought a TR6 brand new in 1971 or '72, and I seem to recall he had a lot of trouble out of it, as well (I was very young then), so I don't wish to get myself on the hook for more than it's worth.

What has been your experience with this car?

[VogonMelchie]

I just got one the other day. They are a putzer's car. If you do not find joy in working on engines or cars in general, don't get a triumph. You will spend a fortune paying someone else to repair it all the time. The reason they are popular is because they are fun and easy to work on.

Dude, you already said it. HOBBY car. Thats what they are. Part of the ownership/fun is working on them. Its not a new Honda. If you have concerns like this, then a car like this IS NOT for you.

[pegbars]

Thanks, but I actually meant hobby as in fixing it up and then enjoying it. Not for it to be perpetually on the stands. No fun in that. I would've liked to drive it occasionally. :) But thanks for your suggestions. I already took your advice and opted for a chopper. ;)

Hey Mitch, Great car! Thanks for all the help in making My TR6 supercharged. ;-)

One of my relatives owns an MG. It's his one and only hobby - it more or less falls to bits every time he drives it.

Have you made any modifications to improve the relaibility? Are you still using switches made by the Prince of Darkness?

[ms6453]

Got to be honast, never had an electrical problem or switch failure. Most of this is due to poor grounds.

Much of the drivetrain has been upgraded. Infinity limited slip diff, Toyota 5-speed and much more.

[spasticteapot]

Is that even a Triumph engine anymore? How much of the original is left?

Why not use a Toyota engine if you're using a Toyota gearbox?

[lewis72]

Bit of an odd argument, that.Cars are often characterised by their styling, engine, handling & refinement. Unless it is exceptionally bad, gearboxes go relatively unoticed. Neither BMW nor Jaguar use their own gearboxes and nobody notices or minds. They do, however, use their own engines. (Save Jag diesels and bottom end of Jag V6 but they lose out for it).

@spasticteapot MG's are no where near as solid as TR's

[kev1602]

"the dogs gernards" can I put this on my stag,where do I get it and how much can I do it for

[ms6453]

Hi Kev,

I'm sure you could but I don't know of any "off the shelf" kit .

[ms6453]

9lbs now. Any more than that with out engine more advanced management would make for a very short driving season.

high boost pulley

[bizzyfingers]

lovely show of torque, quality parts and eye for detail, nice to see an example which looks better than the production line.

[bizzyfingers]

that is one sweet ride mate

[ms6453]

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback.

[xrotaryguy]

What make and model of supercharger is it exactly?

[xrotaryguy]

evidently a screw type super charger can be mounted sideways. I had no idea.

[ms6453]

Yes it can. Lubrication is self contained & 360 deg mounting is possible.
