it means your coolant is low in the overflow bottle. Not exactly a life ending problem.

That not much better in the price department. Its a nice car, I saw it too at the Centrailia meet. But its not 9k nice. I could build 2 cars for that price. And besides, where is the fun in buying a car that doesnt need a ton of work put into it, lol.

Thats aftermarket I'm almost positive.

Its an amazing accomplishment and one that goes a long way towards balancing the disparaging remarks the 7m sometimes gets. its a testiment to your careful planning, tuning and execution.

This is news to me! Show me a picture of one!

Turn it up until it explodes then back it down a smidge ;) seriously though it just depends on a lot of things. Fuel system/octane, timing/tuning, heat reduction/scavaging. As already shown in another thread, properly built the stock bottom end can take alot more than most people give it...

that could be, Im not a Triumph aficionado, I guess they still build em old school.

LOL, yeah I'll do that just as soon as I have the 16k he wants for it. No offence to the guy at all, but that just a tiny bit rediculous. I would be lucky if I can manage the $800 Im looking at paying for a '84 I got a line on.

anything is possible with the right amount of money. Turning a hardtop into a targa would leave you with a very squishy feeling targa. The ones built from the factory and braced accordingly are squishy enough as it is. Seriously, put the old roof back in, weld in a new panel to make it a...

That a beautiful old Triumph and Im suprised he'd let a novice ride it, even around the block. He must trust you, or you have good insurance or both, lol. Ive been thinking about getting a bike again myself. I had a pretty gnarly wreck on one years ago but still enjoy riding. I would never own...

yes if you dont know what you are doing you will probably end up warping the roof panel badly and make the whole issue worse. I would suggest taking the car and the roof you have to a body shop and just asking then about options and costs.

yes as Vixen said there is always going to be swelling in that area. Nerves take a long time to return to normal, and physical therapy will help alot. lol, I know the feeling of going out and just sitting in a car like that, thinking about the possibilities, etc. but hey, its better than...

long story short, yes. You could cut a piece that fits the hole in the roof and weld it in, then cut a new hole for the sunroof, fill, smooth and paint to match, then install the new smaller sunroof. I personally think the old school flip up sunroofs look...well, oldschool. You are better off...

welcome! ohh and... :ttiwwp:

Hey, I resemble that remark! And Ive said it before and I'll say it again, when a "hobby" car gets to be more cost and less fun than its supposed to be, its time to sell it. But I dont think Ken is in that boat just yet. Ken, there is no hurry to work on the car at this point right? I...

nice juxtaposition on the two competing brands

not so much a waste of a thread as it is the simple fact that its posted in the wrong place. You people do realize there is a forum subsection just for this kind of stuff, right? http://www.supramania.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=90 I like the pictures too, but people specifically asked...

hmmm 40lb dog meets F1 style car at 100+ mph, no, I dont think the dog makes a miraculous recovery. Im glad the video doesnt really show much. Its a good thing no one else was hurt. Kind of unrealted but just the other day I was, for some unknown reason, remembering the day I watched Bubba...

What kind of steering problems does your car have that makes the steering wheel jerk out of your hands? Last I checked Supras all had power steering as a base option. I think you are exagerating just a tad and making generalizations when you ASSUME that just because it comes from China its no...
