Nope, stored in a garage for 25years.
New exhaust new clutch. Cranked, but old fuel and old carbies not gonna make it easy to start.
I'll reassemble the interior as it wasn't put back together after clutch replacement plus some shifter/gearbox bushes replaced.

That's pretty standard with British cars anyway. 

hahaha factory panel gaps.

Everyone else gets to find cool Barn-find cars, or buy S15's for $300 and replace the TPS then sell for $12k. When will I ever get a chance :(

Just needs a new MAF, thats all.

I acutally like these

old english cars are cool, if not reliablie

has pop up headlights that make any car cool

 

and still in the era that you can work on them yourselves and if don;t care about concurs be able to replace with some more modern gear that works.

 

If still for sale after bathurst, buzz me. (should be in house by then and if I turn up with yet another car my mates wife will kill me for storing cars at her place)

New jerb and you're back in business of jet-setting? 

something like that.

I'm still going to be traveling but it will cut back from where I was at.

the next few months will be busy with the due diligence with the buy out announcement.


I'm hoping for an around 50% drop in travel.

 

 

man, thats nasty. living out of a bag aint much fun.

Shannon's telling me the TR7 is highly collectible and more valuable with the original 2L instead of a V8 conversion. Shannons have no history of selling one at auction.

Bidding starts at $25,000 for mine FYI.

I am as it is, with having to move out of the rental, you would almost call it couch surfing.

depending on time staying at my folks, katie's mum,  hotels for work plus Katie's sister's and was house sitting for a couple weeks in Oak Park.

Bangladesh will be first time done more than 7 nights in a row in one bed since march.


hoping to get a few weekends in a row home after the move as we ahve started buying trees and planting seeds in prep for the move, so would be good to get started on it

 

Ofcourse I get messages once my car is returned to stock "bro why has your ad pictures changed, i was going to make you an offer" 

Yet when it was modified people come look "bro it's a bit low for my liking"

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
