I think we're in general agreement here, and I know that most rice rocket owners have no idea as to what a six cylinder TR is capable of, no less than the fact that most think our officially antique

The one area that needs the most work in a TR6 is chassis rigidity, or lack thereof. Current production cars are extraordinarily stiff, which makes the handling quite predictable. You'd have to go a

About fuel injection sir, I disagree with you. Fuel injection ensures an exact 14.7 to 1 fuel ratio, something that cannot be said about carburetters. Plus the fact that fuel injection will deliver

I think we are going to agree to disagree on that one. Fuel injection offers no more ultimate power than a good carburetor. The advantages to EFI are numerous, but ultimate power is not one of them.

[stuff about _stock_ PI cars deleted for brevity] The record for a TR6 engine is 252 HP at 8000 RPM's. This was an "all out" race engine with all the tricks, so it was 12.5:1 (more or less) and the m

Hi Robert: Why would anybody bother fixing up a TR6 engine like this? It is so far from stock that it has no LBC value. Is it just to keep the approximate look of the TR engine bay? Why not just put

Hi. This is the sort of question to which there is no single, easy answer. But in a vain attempt to shed some light on the issue, let's try this. To some of us, the TR6 is the greatest car ever made.

Thanks for the very informative feedback Robert. BTW, I wasn't trying to say that the 250 HP TR6 isn't an LBC, what I meant was that I didn't feel that an engine that modified was a lot different fro
