Thanks Tim 😊

PM me. I have rather special TR6 that I might be interested in selling.

Hi Danny, Needles have arrived. Thank you so much. Well impressed with royal mail delivery! If the salt is not too bad I'll give them a go at the weekend. Tim

Thanks Danny, Clive, If I get the chance I'll run all 4 needle types with the AFR and then put the data up here.. Might be kinda interesting.. Not a rolling road test. but I have a standard run on a set peice of road which is handy for tuning for real world running Tim

You are probably right, but was trying not to be too greedy 🙂

ABK looks like it could work. That would be Fab. Would you be happy for me to try them? Tim

That would be fab Danny.

That would be really helpful 😀

Looks like it would work (see below). I am going to drive the car this weekend to see how it feels and do some logging of some acceleration runs before shelling out cash 🙂 Tim

Thanks have been playing with the minty lamb site. Very helpful. Will check out ABT. Tim

Ok so still not 100% happy with the way the car is running. AFR says it is running too rich at wide open throttle and it feels a bit "fluffy" at full throttle. So decided to change the plugs which were really sooty and are not a make I have come across. New set of NGKs fitted and needles swapped back to AAN. Used the AFR to set idle mixture and went for a drive. Feels much crisper. Mixture at full throttle is now a little lean. I adjusted idle a little richer to help a little. Still not perfect mixture at full throttle. But much better. Going to leave it as is for now. (Famous last words. ) Might see if there is a needle between the 2.. Tim

Ok good to know. I have bought the Canley classics rebush kit.. people have advised me it is the best. A project for the winter months. Another thing I have uncovered is the main beam warning light not appearing when main beam is on. Deeper investigation showed that the the bulb is working but it is not illuminating the jewel on the speedo. Guess something is in the way in the guage. Anyone had this before?

I had a single rail on my first spit and it seems a lot less waggly than my 3 rail. Perhaps it needs new bushes?

Just acquired a new member of my garage. A 72 spit to match my 72 TR6 and 72 Stag. After sorting a fuel mixture issue. Was running weak on AAN needles with a free flow airfilter. Changed to AAQ and mixture looks a lit better. I am thinking of a few gentle upgrades. The aim of the purchase is to get my 20yo son into classics and the dream is for him to do the RBRR sometime in the future. Thinking of some gentle upgrades to help performance a tad. Thinking free flow manifold and suspension rebush. But am also wondering about replacing the 3 rail gearbox with a single rail with overdrive. Good move? Or should I go 3 rail with overdrive? Any other thoughts on gentle upgrades? Car is very original so nothing outrageous or irreversible. Cheers Tim
