Have found de cambering shackles for a TR6 that can take 3 degrees out but they are pricey and come from england but are fully adjustable. wanting to run some 14" 235's on back so excess camber will make short work of those. anyone keen on some flash shackles? might be able to get a bulk deal on a few sets haha.

Got front down on my triumph now new bushes added a sway bar Awesome.

Now i've headed down to the back end its going down 60mm lower on heavy duty custom made coils with new shocks to hold springs in place. after dropping springs out and dummying up on trolly jack i have at least 3-4 degrees of tyre killing camber i see plenty of guys on here have dropped trumpys lower did anyone find a fix that can be made in the comfort of the average mans garage?

I've got a couple of ideas to try but be good to skip straight to a proven cure.

its a bit of a design cock up on this model of car they corner on the bumstops at standard height and as the back has no bumpstops whatsoever from the factory when you push them thru corners at pace you spend alot of time on 3 wheels looks hard case but you soon get tired of it. hoping sway bar and this mod plus the new suspension bits will keep it planted.

So have been working away on parts to convert my triumph 2500 to powersteer and front sway bar to modernise the ride and handling a bit. I will be going 60mm lower in the front which from experience will put the lower arm almost on the bumpstops so while i have the subframe on the bench in the vice i have been thinking of cutting a 8mm wedge from the top of the bumpstop mount bending it back to give a bit more room then welding it back up. most people when they lower these cars cut the bumpstops down but it can make the ride quite harsh when you really throw the car round corners. i can take some photo's if this didnt explain it well enough.

I used to work as a fitter turner up until recently so the job will be done well not a hack job, i'm just not a suspension geometry guru can anyone see any reason why this would be a shite idea?

My advice is to do a few different cars to hone your skills. Eg one with a dead moter or gearbox get parts fix it warrant reg it flick it,

then get one with rough upholstery and a few skody panels but good running gear and sort that same thing wof reg and flick it. after doing that you'll know if its your thing. you might decide to never touch a car again and pay to get some bloke in from that point on.

if you crack into it this way you should at least make enough to buy some good tools and a little profit to keep you keen. nothing worse than your first project turning epic and leaving a sour taste in your mouth at the end.

Hey by any chance is it Blue? if so i drove passed it twice this week already looked very tidy. if it is seized you'd be surprised how effective a few tablespoons of diesel and clean engine and oil down sparkplug holes can be in freeing things up. above all do not scrap it.

If you want to check out my set up I like the bike carbs

Checked out your project looks awesome. manifolds for my engine would be a mission as i would have to group carbs in twos meaning linkages and fuel lines but after reading how yours turned out i'm almost sold on the idea, i take it they sound animal as?

Been trying to find parts to get petrol injection for my car (triumph 2500) most the stuff out there is in need of rebuild now and well been there done that i guess. so after lookin on trademe i spotted 2 sets of carbs off a 1300cc 4 cylinder kawasaki for 250$. now i'm torn they should out perform dellorto's or webbers. what do you think is it worth the effort? or should i look into EFI instead

Just spent last 2 weeks stripping a well shagged and ugly but complete power steer front subframe for the car spent all of sunday arvo wirebrushing straightening and getting some etch primer on the metal parts. mission.

Check the routing of your hoses i just sorted this issue on my car heater pipe had been looped up meaning the water wasnt circulating in the head put them back how they were supposed to be now problem gone... well apart from the gauge is also stuffed in the dash so external gauge also was needed. hope one of these 2 could help.

If those wheels were scaled to be 18"? .......

just got some springs to rework this weekend so it will be looking alot like the shopped photo soon.

Liking it even at the current altitude. Cheers

Get a remake done on your plates then run them thru band saw till they are suitably tiny i've done it and never had issues. Licensys does the remakes and personalised plate manufacture use this online form https://ebusiness.licensys.com/Manufact ... ype=Remake

start with a legal plate and reduce its dimentions how can it be illegal bikes have small plates i cut mine down to that size banged em on and forgot about it for 5 years

use 300zx TT engine and pathfinder box for 4wd. dont waste time with supercharger those VG30DETT engines have next to no lag you'd lose power fitting a blower.

Spotted car matching discription on highway 1 just before ngaruwahia on tuesday was stopped at a dodgy lookin house had black plates on it caught my eye didnt look right.

check for spark when you wind it over the crank angle sensor goes as well as the igniter pack meaning no go usually both at same time my father in law has a couple of Coronas. i also had one for a while best way to check is to get another corona and swap components over till you can give the fault to the healthy car. thats if the cambelt is intact.

Old trick Wipe it with wet cloth of meths it'll protect the metal for up to 6 months indoors if you dont touch it. untill you decide which prime method to use

Awesome.....

well yet another piece of good paintwork that has to come off. should need a licence to buy the shit aye.

Hey guys just trying tidy up some of the previous owners "fixes" my back window has what can be described as a 2 fingers wide spread of black windscreen sealant around the whole thing been at it trying to pick it off but the shit has attached pretty well, is there any way to break it down that wont take paint with it tried meths and turps with not to much success but no damage to paint either .

Is pissing me off only reason it was leaking was because the top half of windscreen isnt even in the frame.....

Any suggestions appreciated

Can you shop these wheels

Onto this with decent lowness applied

Cheers if it looks awesome i'll blow the image up and stick it to the garage wall as inspiration.

Funny you should mention that i have used SD1 brake calipers on a trumpy i had before big 4 piston units worked pretty good, the rovers run a bloody massive stud pattern though and getting decent looking wheels for them is also a hassle well expensive too and same problem with redrilling them not much room to move studs inwards.

Have Owned a Sd1 was a top car though everytime i got it running right i'd scatter the spider gears in the diff.

Am looking at grafting in skyline front struts now as a Upgrade to the whole front end. just need to get hold of parts and start measuring.

i came across this stuff called emulgel its a marine cleaner you get it fron burnsco marine shit is impressive takes white rust off alloy and leavs it looking mildly polished. best part is bugger all effort doesnt kill paint to much either.

Hey if you can give me a part number on the wheel bearing i can track down measurements that way, Cheers by the way.
