spitty71 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Ok, just noticed this section of the forum we've planned quite a few jobs to do on the TR before the run, nothing too drastic but I shall report what gets done on the car over the next few months here. First off then a set of 5 1/2" classic driving lamps that we picked up from Stoneleigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Wright Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Nice one ste, looking good! Thought the tyres looked ok last time I saw the car? I need to get the spotlights on mine but i'll wait until nearer the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitty71 Posted March 19, 2006 Author Share Posted March 19, 2006 Tyres are ok, but were fitted in 2000, bit old now and not so far off the wear lines, so a new set will go down a treat, yeah dads gone mad, thinking of fitting period fog lights under the bumper next! I say it might be a bit too much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goody Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 While you have more fog overtheir then we, I have found the lower the lights are mounted the better with less backglare. (lower than the driver's eyes) I also find that a good pair of amber driving glasses work very well. The one's I have go from dark to light from top to bottom. Work well at night and are great when a oncomming driver forgets to dim his. I'm sure you have checked you electric system that it can handle the extra amps for long periods.

Phil Wright Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I'm sure you can't have too many lights for the round britain run! I've found some convenient holes under my bonnet which i'll use to attach the driving lamps too. I've also got some small foglamps, which i'll mount under the overriders. Ste - Ash and I are gonna do the HCR next month - are you up for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitty71 Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 Hiya, good stuff and yes the charging system has been thought about. HCR - not really thought about that one, probably not all my money needs to go on the cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 It's only £30 entry fee for the car Steve! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitty71 Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 Yeah thing is i've got my finals in May, plus I'm working a lot. So I could use the spare weekend to be honest! Using the car everyday I don't need an event as a reason for taking it out! ;D Have a good run though maybe next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
