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"

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
