i have a million questions on my new (to me) 1980 tr7, but i will start with
just a few. 1) i really want to improve engine performance, the engine is
working so perfect, can i add fuel injection and or turbo charger ? 2) did
the tr7 ever come with fuel injection from the factory ? if so what year(s) ?
if fuel injection system or turbo system is available as aftermarket, where is
it available ? prices ? 3) the interior lights for the heater controls have
a funny tiny bulb i have not been able to find. it has a silver base with two
bumps on it for plugging into socket. it is not one like the rest (black
base) does anyone know where i can get them ? 4) the heater controls are
broken at the pivot points. it looked to me flimsy and i bet they all break.
is there a fix for re-attaching the points and making it stay together ? 5)
last night my wife asked me if the car 'goes' on her maiden ride. so i
cranked it off the line, i was moving up toward 4000 rpm in second gear and
going around a mild curve to the right. the rear tires came right out on me
and the back end came up to the left meeting the front end. luckily i was
able to pull it out. so the question is the handling. my previous gt6 would
have handled that curve with absolutley no problem. is this a problem with
this car ? is there a fix for it ? 6) can anyone give me some good leads on
getting parts. i need some misc lights and other parts. i would like to get
used first for $$$ sake. 7) the car has been repainted the original color
(thank goodness). all the decals and whatever else are gone so i want to
restore them. what decals or badges did this car have ? where do they go ?
where can i get these items ?
thanks for letting me get all that out there. i appreciate any feedback you
can supply.
