Is it problematic to have higher oil pressure?
-
Look again at that apparent dribble the windscreen as it is often not the cause. drain holes in the wing can be blocked or wiper boxes can fill up and.overflow.

if you have a piece of flexible hose in the fuel line ( as i do) you can just clamp the line. ... or you could turn the hill around?

In your car I recommend 55psi.

lagerzok wrote: a 14 inch suede Sparco wheel. You big poof! ;D ... but I agree with the comment on the higher tyre pressures (although not with resto-sorbs of course) - I was advised to do this and it helps I run 32. If you can't be arsed to renew the top mounts try squirting some lubricant through the top of the strut mount... that's what i've done. I thought you replaced yours relatively recently though... maybe I dreamt it :B I was warned off the roller bearing mounts 'cos they'll be twitchy on the rough stuff :-/ not a problem for you fellas in ring-road land I suppose.

irish44j wrote: yep I did. I took them off once the axles were assembled. Lining up the spring eye was tons of fun ;( And tons of pressure, too! Nearly put my back out doing that I think. Looks great! You probably don't care, but I expect you'll have to repaint the propshaft if its balanced professionally

Having tried 205/13s on the rear of a GT6 (rotoflex) and then gone back to 185 I can verify that the car felt far far better on 185/13s. Much more predicatble back end and able to scare the hell out of a passenger without scaring other road users, too ;-)

James Elliot must be the person who came up to me the weekend before 10CR and started talking to me (andy and I were showing the 2000 off and collecting sponsorship at Cadwell Park). If you want I can do this too, seeing as i'm doing about a dozen different reports (i.e. a dozen different introductions!) The laptop will be taken home this weekend by the looks of it! Someone hurry up and organise another trip ... i'm getting restless!!! PS work has begun on AndyMac's TR6 ... he wants it rolling again before the 2000's back in Blighty

on the report side - i'm writing for Triumph World for our charity and any bits, choice photos from anyone would be much appreciated: graham.reeks@lsc.gov.uk Also Classic Car Weekly should be featuring a post-10CR report, too. I'll let everyone know when it's coming out.
