spacie Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 1977 Triumph 2500TC 2.5L straight six, twin SU carbs, auto 124,000 kms Mods as of now: compressed springs (bought like that, has a bit of negative camber in the rear ) 2500 "S" alloys or some shit, pretty kool. nice NEW tires too. chrome rocker cover & thermostat housing got her for $500, with fried battery leads etc payed $300 to fix all that, so yeah a good car for $800 mint body, no dents, scratches or rust has a few electrical problems but all easy fixes ive had her for 2 months now, been on a few long distance trips, a fucking beast. runs on like a MOTHERFUCKER though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacie Posted November 17, 2007 Author Share Posted November 17, 2007 oh yeah im still alive. been busy as a motherfucker/misses cheated on me last night so im resorting to some e-g33kness pulled the beast off the road due to a snapped accelerator cable and found.... engine mounts were non existent...motor was basically sitting on the power steering pump dodgy as. earth lead was wearing through in heaps of places, and was wrapped around steering rack, causing the electrics to cut out while turning right on hard lock. so i whipped the head off, scraped the large amounts of carbon deposits off the top of the pistons and the valves etc. gave the head a port & polish. while i was at it i discovered at some point shes had a recondition and has been bored out to around 2.7 litres. size 40 slugs etc ripped carbs off and replaced the standard butterflies (shitty springs in em were stuck open aiding in the running on) with some brand new ones minus the spring. got some K&N style pancake filters off my Dads MGA that im gonna chuck on, and have nice stainless muff to chuck on (no, not a fart cannon) should be all sussed in a few weeks, running alot smoother EDIT: cellphone photo ftl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
