1. TR6 wipers (score: 1): Author: "Randell Jesup" <jesup@scala.scala.com>; Date: Fri, 21 Apr 1995 01:03:14 -0700; My new wiper blades on my '70 TR6 are less than effective (the old ones were old AMCO's).

3. RE: TR-6 conversion (score: 1): Author: "Randell Jesup" <jesup@scala.scala.com>; Date: Wed, 26 Apr 95 20:02:00 EDT; Wierd. I recently bought an '85 XR4Ti to replace my old CRX, and I've had a '70 TR6 for 6 years. VERY different cars to drive.

TR6 tires (score: 1): Author: "Randell Jesup" <jesup@scala.scala.com>; Date: Tue, 2 May 95 17:37:07 EDT; I got recommendations a while ago (last fall) for '70 TR6 tires, pointing me at 205/70-15's (1.5% smaller rolling radius) and 215/70-15's (slightly larger rolling radius).

5. Re: TR6 Oil Pressure (score: 1): Author: "Randell Jesup" <jesup@scala.scala.com>; Date: Thu, 11 May 95 23:36:29 EDT; TR6's have a ~100psi pressure-relief. Some other lbc's use lower values (A-series engines are usually 60psi). 90+ cold is fairly typical, the interesting values are warm at speed and idle.

9. Re: TR6 springs (score: 1): Author: "Randell Jesup" <jesup@scala.scala.com>; Date: Thu, 18 May 95 15:34:42 EDT; Thanks for the quick responses. Having just looked at it with the new tires on it, the effect isn't as large as it seemed to be this morning, but it's definitely higher off the tires in the front.

On my car, both stock and as I replaced the springs, the narrower, longer springs were in the _rear_. I wonder if this is another gift of the DPO...

However, the wires might be 4.5" or maybe 5". 5.5" wheels will fit 205/70-15's - I just put on Yoko A378's in that size, and they work great.

However, if it's just an idle lean (i.e. the standard air leaks around the throttle shafts), you may be able to fix it with the idle air bleed screws, near the temp. compensators.

17. Re: TR6 ZS needle adjustment (score: 1): Author: "Randell Jesup" <jesup@scala.scala.com>; Date: Tue, 6 Jun 95 22:48:58 EDT; Check the tags on the carbs. For '70, C3292LH/RH are non-adjustable, C3365LH/RH are adjustable, supposedly.

Re: tr 250 suspension (score: 1): Author: "Randell Jesup" <jesup@scala.scala.com>; Date: Mon, 12 Jun 95 16:11:41 EDT; Spax are quite nice, AND you can adjust them without unbolting/etc. More adjustable than Koni's (12 or 14 levels).
