cletus Posted October 18, 2024 Posted October 18, 2024 Should be a fun car. What mods have you done to the carbs to run blow through? Are they 450s ? Quote
legendlives Posted October 18, 2024 Author Posted October 18, 2024 Carbs are 650 mechanical secondary (not DP) The power valve drillings have been opened up, obviously larger pump and main jets. New Viton needle valves and a few other bits I can't remember! 1 Quote
HumberSS Posted October 18, 2024 Posted October 18, 2024 This thing is batshit crazy. Excited to see progress. What sort of power?? I'm assuming it's a drag car? 1 Quote

legendlives Posted October 18, 2024 Author Posted October 18, 2024 Power-wise we're looking at a conservative 700bhp, with enough scope to go more but I want to keep it reliable and (wherever possible) maintenance free. It will be drag only, but does have plates so if, accidentally of course, it should fall onto the road it won't look too out of place. Except for the bonnet bulge, 12" wide drag radials, pro stock rear wing and parachute...... 5 Quote
BiTurbo228 Posted October 19, 2024 Posted October 19, 2024 You may well be on the cards for world's fastest TR7 at that rate! 1 Quote
BiTurbo228 Posted October 31, 2024 Posted October 31, 2024 Nice work on the axle links. Land Rover Discoveries have something similar in their axle location, with a single upper a-frame providing both fore-aft and side-to-side location. Theirs also houses a central gas strut for self-levelling which I thought was clever. 1 Quote
legendlives Posted February 4 Author Posted February 4 Now that the rear links are all assembled and fitted it's nice to find that my measurements were correct! 2 Quote
