Well done you analytical geniiiii

@bkennb Ай бұрын

I did it without removing the centerpiece on my triumph spitfire. I pounded on that centerpiece several times with no luck and feared I would damage it. That is why I did it this way. I cut the old boot and removed the ring like you did. Then cleaned everything and then heated the mini style boot and pulled it on the shaft. Then loosely chucked the shaft in a vise with the center piece above the vise jaws. . Then lubed the center part and the cage and put the cage on. Then lubed the balls and stuck them in place the not very thick grease held them in place. Then lubed the main part and slipped over the cage and balls and added the ring.

Yeah but Dan I forgot to turn on the factory installed TR7 Stability control so I can only blame myself. At least the dual zone air con works in my car but I must say it's difficult to wind down the passenger window without loosening the harness 😂

Isn’t a TR7 with a V8 a TR8?

@kippyswedge4315 8 ай бұрын

When the TR7 was released it was planned to have a V8 option and in fact the British Leyland rally team fitted a Rover V8 which was called a TR7V8. Eventually Triumph were able to bring out the V8 version as a factory option calling it the TR8. Initially the projection of sales of the Rover SD1 was going to take all the V8's British Leyland could make so Triumph couldn't make a V8 version of the TR7 but SD1 sales were not matching what sales had projected making it all possible for the TR8 . All very late in the production of the TR7/ TR8 and very few really were made at all.

Like a dummy I didn't find out I could attach track location, speed, G forces etc to the film until I'd already transferred the raw footage to computer and deleted the camera :(( Oh well next time I shall give that a crack hahaha. My old GoPro 4 I mounted down low in the air dam but I couldn't start it like I had intended. Again next time I shall be better prepared. Looking forward to seeing you back on track real soon Barry. kippy

Why were you starting at the back (best cars at the back)? You obviously had a quick car and good driving skills? How is a 2.5L allowed in a GT6? Plus the starting acceleration showed it was seriously modified. My old '67 GT6 with a modified 2.0L could red line 4th at half throttle (w/ 3.89:1 differential) and it was nowhere as fast as yours. It was probably best I never took my '67 GT6 on the track (autocross only) because those swing axles would have been scary. The only track time I have is 1000 miles (driving school only) in a Viper which has a whole different level of acceleration.

@kippyswedge4315 Жыл бұрын

Sadly to say this GT6 is not my car but rather Trevor allowed my to put this footage up from one of the Races of the MG and Invited British Racing series. If you would like to see some more of Trevor's car Blendline TV KZbin will have mentions and vision of the flying GT6 :) Last weekend Trevor took out the round at Calder Park Raceway in Melbourne and I believe is now leading the series with the last round to be held at Sandown Raceway in Melbourne November 11th and 12. Live vision will be shown on the Blendline TV KZbin channel. PS this series is for MG's and invited British that in some cases bear only a fleeting image of how they came from factory with some being almost full on race cars with others being mildly modified in comparison :) The little Blue Midget has an A series engine with a BMW K100 head for instance so it absolutely punches well above its weight although only 1300cc keeping V8's honest haha look for another video on this channel called State Racing PI Race 2 October for some good footage of Trevor on the Blendline mixed in with footage from inside a TR7 Sprint pps The reason Trevor started from the rear of the field was a dnf previous race due to an electrical glitch I think kippy

Matthew, in the Jag, wandered up for a chat after this as we both had fun that certainly levelled the playing field in my favour. In the dry it'll be no contest at all😢. Glad you liked it 😂
