The Dude Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Phworrrrrr You get rid of the Gamma which was spectacularly rare, and you replace it with the "poor man's E Type" Goddamn I'm impressed, I love these! I have a PI engine on my garage floor as we speak its the full fat 132hp one too. Come on the shed tour and check it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on the shed tour and check it out The Gamma was cool...but we want something we can thrash like we stole it without panicing at every sound coming from the engine. Say what you will about British engines they can take more abuse than Italian ones. Do you have the Injection still on the engine? We are thinking of putting back to mechanical injection.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDA780 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I'm liking this. Loving the slot mags and colour. Can't wait to see it alongside the Spitfire in its army green glory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyteler Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I like the look of that black painted German critter that shares the drive-way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vidar Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 Thanks. Its my daily. Ironic that it sits out in the weather while a beat up triumph gets the garage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locost_bryan Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Always liked the GT6, especially the later ones with the better (less bad?) rear suspension. Suites the "slot" mags, too. The 2.5 should make it go like stink, and the saloon box fixes the GT6's big archilles heel - the "small" Triumph gearbox. Don't know why Triumph thought the Herald box would handle the torque from the 112bhp six, when it was marginal in the 95bhp Marina TC. Plenty of tuning parts around from the TRs, and even with bigger twin carbs and warm cam, the WoF man probably wouldn't know it hasn't got a stock 2-litre.

Vidar Posted July 11, 2015 Author Share Posted July 11, 2015 I agree that the MkIII is the better car and I do like the slot mags The best part though is the straight six sound. I love the sound of triumph six's 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllTorque Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Are you going to get that seatbelt adapter certified? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllTorque Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Oh I see you got a WOF. Guess the guys at VTNZ weren't worried about it. Congrats on getting it roadworthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vidar Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 Are you going to get that seatbelt adapter certified? We thought it may become an issue for the warrant but they didn't even notice it The funny thing is the stock mount in the floor is weaker than the bracket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
