Hi and many thanks. Is it possible to install a UK sorced 150hp fuel injected engine into a US TR6? If yes, what mods would be necessairy? Kind greetings, Andreas

High I've just purchased a tr6 very interesting video we're is the best place to purchase the kit you have on your car please?

It turns out you don't need all that stuff you insisted you did.

Have owned 4 TR 6’s over the years, brown, red, blue and white. Still a looker today, a little underpowered I think but was a fun car back in the 70’s.

Had a 1974 for 11 years in North America never drove it in the winter season "salted roads" ! After not needing nor wanting to go over 80mph often did removed the air dam which did keep the front end from floating at and above that speed but often the dam bottomed out upon too steep inclines or descent found with some parking lots or drive ways. One quite noticeable improvement both to the ride and handling was I stiffened the body by replacing all those production cost saving screws fasteners used on all four fenders with machined thread fasteners with each bolt having two flat washers and a lock washer also placing a firm rubber gasket cut from old motorcycles tubes between the two surfaces being the fender and the inner chassis. Mint ! made this car far better feeling and sound denting than what it was just off the show room floor. Thanks for your presentation !

FROM CANADA I HAD 3 ENGLISHS CAR .THEY ARE LIKE BEAUTIFUL HIGHT MAINTENANCE GIRLS AND I HAD MANY, I WAS IN A BAND. THOSE CARS ARE WHEN YOU GO TO BED WITH BEAUTIFUL GIRL AND THEY ARE COLD LIKE THE WEATHER, BRIT CAR DO NOT LIKE THE COLD. I WISH I HAD A MIATA AT THAT TIME

Pointless video

I've been enjoying your videos for years now. So nicely done. You inspired me to start recording some commentary for my in-car race videos, but I've not edited any in yet. Have you considered trying some wheel to wheel racing? You definitely have the skill for it, and there is a great Sprite-Midget race series in the UK.

If you have only ever driven and experienced modern day motor vehicle technology, any car from the bygone era of the TR6 or before is bound to be a disappointment by comparison. The whole pleasure of owning and driving a car like the TR6 is for the nostalgia of experiencing - and enjoying - old car technology, with all of its inherent shortcomings. The basic nature of the build of these cars means they can mostly be maintained on a DIY basis with an ordinary set of tools and the aid of a Haynes manual. But if that is not your thing, then don't go there.

The smoothness in the 3rd run showed a big difference in the outcome. And by staying in second through the esses kept the revs up with no lost time and a better exit up the straight. 👍

Those are not roads. Those are goat paths.

How is the flip front holding up? I'm considering doing this to my vw squareback but lifting from the original back bonnet hinges

Okay I'm three quarters of the way through this explanation of buyers regret. In the decades between the Lotus Elise and the Triumph TR6, there existed a time when cheap production cars were all steel monocoque construction and modern Japanese or Italian dohc 16V engines with long production runs spanning decades found their way into millions of daily drivers, such as the Fiat/Lancia/Alfa twincam, the Toyota 4A-GE series and the Honda K20-24 series. These types of engines produce 200bhp na or 375bhp with forced induction, off 2 litres/ 4-cylinders reliably. The bog standard Elise, requires modification to make it track legal, Lotus built these in limited numbers (Elise Cup). If you wanted to be competitive in a naturally aspirated 2-litre production car and you wanted to win hillclimbs, you could run an Elise Cup or a Toyota MR2, for the balance and power to weight and all the rest, and neither would be as quick as a similarly modified Fiat X1/9. I recommend you buy a Delta Integrale and move to a mountainous region 😄

I highly recommend using a couple of well hidden GPS trackers in your car, then you stand a much better chance of getting it back if it is stolen

Replace ALL if the fuel hoses with Gates Barricade 30R9, they are non permeable and get rid of the fuel smell.

Use the best quality U.J.s you can find, Neapco in the USA are great

The PI system can be very good, but absolutely needs that Bosch Fuel pump

They are not perfect, nothing is, BUT the pros outweigh the cons. Personally, I love them, BUT prefer the styling of the TR250. That's just me though

I am enjoying the videos as I have just bought a 1972 version and it's white like your thanks for all the information

Hallo, wieder mal ein tolles Video über den TR6😀👍 Ich habe meinen TR 6 PI bereits 50 Jahre und "alte Liebe rostet nicht"..; ich fahre ihn immer noch mit Begeisterung und einem Grinsen im Gesicht. Viele TR-Grüße Manfred

Hallo, vielen Dank für die hervorragenden Informationen👍😀 ich freue mich, dass ich jetzt selbst den Getriebeölwechsel mit dem richtigen Getriebeöl an meinem TR6 PI vornehmen kann. 😀👍 Mit den besten TR-Grüßen Manfred

My buddy owned one in 1974,, maroon with Brit flag, beautiful roadster to look at, but a piece of shit to own, it was always in the shop, he finally dropped a Ford 302 in it years later with Tremic transmission , he's still got it, and it runs great

A brilliant video I've been playing with cars since the 1960s but have seen the vacuum timing done before weldone Mr MG

Tremendous review

It's hard to take advice from someone who doesn't have beauty rings on the wheels or hasn't put penny-wide red wall tires on his TR6......😄

3 reasons to buy a TR6! Fun, Fun, Fun!😊

Once a gain a very helpful video, thank you! Pop in and sort mine out please😀

Hi, very useful - thanks very much for posting. When you balanced the throttle bodies with the airflow meter did you increase the revs by adjusting the main throttle stop (and not the idle bypass setting screw?) For throttle body setting it would make sense to me that the idle bypass is taken out of the equation, so screwed shut. Thanks in advance for your opinion / advice. Cheers!

You have had utility - that's the value. You're driving it now..

Doing nothing is better than being busy doing nothing.

Each day can be one of triumph if you keep up your interests.

Thank you ! Helpful

Thank you, my TR6 is only running on about 4 so I'll do that check

I dont really agree the point, that this classic will not rise in price. Especially very soon, when everyone hates those teslas, cars like the light and racecar-sounding TR6 will be very popular. I‘m from germany and on a sunny sunday you see many classics driven around, but there are not many cars around, that attract so much positive attention like the TR6. Everybody, boys and girls, women and men, they turn around and smile. There is something about this car, I think its the sheer beauty of the TR6 itselve in combination with the almost 60‘s F1 sound. Long story short, even most of the classic 911s dont get as much attention in the street, so buy one! You will not regret it!

I own a 69 this man doesn't know much as far as the drivetrain when I had my American Muscle Cars we ran 411 posi rear up to a 512 a lot of torque and they would rev up real hi which gave the car the sound you want it you didn't buy it for gas economy nor did I buy my TR6 for gas economy it wasn't talked about in 1969 it was considered just a fun car to drive with a nice sound and mine has that and that's due set a 373 posi rear that's completely independent like a Corvette and at 65 mph the car sounded real nice it wasn't meant to be a convertible Mercedes with all the are dampening stuff they put in the fabric insulation for the floors if you notice on the TR6 you pull a carpet up there's nothing except metal it was a basic sports car and you need to keep maintenance on them all the time I take it with mine every time I use it but that's the fun of it use an old equipment my timing lights my son diagnostic machines that I haven't had to use in 30 years and on top of it if an EMP ever hits my car will run and as far as the clutch being heavy he should have felt my clutch in my Plymouth Satellite 440 six pack 440 six pack 68 the thing was a beast and the clutch was like pressing down on 50 lb of Rock but it was a cable truck non hydraulic nothing to break but the cable or the throwout bearing I don't know this guy what his problem is with the gearbox mine is tight as a Bitch for a 69 was complete independent suspension which only came in the Chevy Corvette in America so when you went around a nice corner at 60/70 and it went pretty good for 120 horsepower and I have no mechanical issues Little Things like the windshield wipers aren't the greatest but considering the car is 55 years old all original including paint I have no wiring issues add God forbid there is one the books that I have on this car from the previous owner he was a guy that was a freak with maintenance he's got every washer he ever replaced gave me 12 new brand new Redline tires backup Master cylinders backup carburetors with manifold and every screw that is supposed to be on this car is on it and was only in the rain once in 59 years no rust anywhere to be found complete beautiful yellow jasmine undercarriage belly and honestly I had a 1970 Datsun 240Z that maybe was a little faster butt handling wise the TR6 would hold its own

You're not driving an original TR6, you're driving some bastardized version.

I guess the rain adds a bit of trepidation not knowing the true grip, but then having to believe that you can achieve a good time gets the desired result in tricky conditions. Nice driving 👍

Love the steel wheels!

The dash layout can be very different on early TR6s, like a friends 1970 model. Mostly the same controls, but in different places. In his car, the left hand stalk is off, side lights, then headlamps. The dip/mainbeam is a floor switch, just to the left of the clutch. It also doesn't have a volt-meter, it has an amp-meter. Wiper switches are different too and a number of other details.

Thank you !

I fitted a supercharger to my 1098cc A series Engine in my Morris Minor. Before then i owned a MG Midget many years ago. 11.7 to 1 compression. 1275cc fast road race prepared engine. 4.5inch rampipes etc. Roller Rockers, pil cooler and thermostat. Adjustable oil pressure etc etc. Americana head etc. George

`One of the best tutorials on here well done that man Thanks

Great information. Is there originally a strap from the long stud on the overdrive casing to the gear selector linkage?

Just rebuilt my 1275 gearbox. These videos were great. Top man, Thanks.

Nice presentation: the drive shaft issue is similar to the stag..One of the stag owners solved the issue using CV joints. I am trying to recall details from a quarter century old solution however I think the man used Toyota cv joints however, I suspect that anything from any vehicle with similar torque and BHP would suffice.

How did everything work out with the extra venting and oil catch can? Were you still getting a lot of blowby venting into the atmosphere?

1969 TR6. Purchased used in 1979. Drove it until 1985. Garaged until 2020 and did a full frame off restoration. Not concours, more restomod with some extras and quite the nice driver too. Finished in Group 44 livery sans numbers.

Loved my TR6 … but I love my BMW Z4 more BTW, that is a beautifully sorted TR6

Thanks for being a mine of information. Not being a mechanic, it is very useful to get a heads up before you take the plunge. Didnt realise that there is not much room to move in the drivers seat

Hi nice video. When you said you got the flywheel balance did you have all 3 done together crankshaft flywheel and clutch all as one unit, sorry for asking maybe I missed it??
