32valves Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Well, someone had to start it ;DIn my case, haven't looked and likely to remain that way until 2011. So let's hear about the squishy brakes, wobbly wheel bearings, floppy shocks, lazy wipers, rusty whatever, rattly gearboxes, smokey engines, self destructing electrics, dim lights, 8mpg and dropping horror stories all fixed and made ready for the parade.

Nick Jones Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Dunno yet..... depends which car..... Vitesse needs a new engine (in hand), PI.... who knows. I think the 10CR is Vitesse event.Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpbarrett Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 As we never manage to finish anything due to the GT6 always going into a grump. We are trying a different approach for the 10CR. We are going to prepare both cars and then when the GT6 packs up just before we leave we will jump into the Herald and use that (and at the same time activate the Ebay listing of the GT6......).However as the RBRR has finished and the propshaft has been replaced the GT6 is actually running beautifully again with no vibrations... apart from having to replace the fuel pump that packed up between driving the car out of the garage and the road....Actually we are thinking of a mid summer pre 10CR blast from East Anglia to the Lakes and back over a weekend to try to break the GT6 before it hits Europe.Mike and Libby..

tiggrr1 Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 easy option = change all oils and fluids and good to go :)slightly more complex option = drop in a 2500 PI change all fluids and good to go :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radders Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I think it would easier for me list what doesn't need to be done rather than what there is to do! :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goody Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I will know more when 32Valves looks at my car when he looks at his. Plan is to re install after rebuild the 2L engine back in. Unless of course we find a sweet Sprint engine cheap?Boath Dollys are sung in a garage resting comphy. You all know what happens when 2 Triumph's sleep together,,,,,,,,,,,,They have a offspring ??)I am a moderator and the above is NOT an ADD! :X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GigGleR Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Hmmm well, of our three teams we have:Vitesse : new carb set to be installed2000 estate : various tweaks to try and stop it blowing oil all over the place.Tr4 : ah, well, that's currently in 367 different bits having a new chassis installed,replacing a bent front wing and being resprayed. Should get there I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heraldhabitat Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 MOE has sprung a leak in the PAS great, is 5k all I can expect from a recon rack? bit of a vibration when ever so slightly over the legal limit ;) which will need looking at and to find someone with a lot more knowledge than I have with fabricating so I can have my very comfortable rover 600 seats fitted. Depending on budget might get some better quality tyres fitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

32valves Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 Well, kicked off the mechanical prep yesterday by unbolting a few things in readiness for some major surgery, first time I've touched a Triumph since the RBRR. It's begun .... ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
