We finished this TR6 for some new clients in South Carolina. We started where they left off with the intention of turning the car into a high-quality driver.
Besides the assembly of the car, the motor seemed to run well, but smoked like a burning building. The transmission made noises in neutral and had an inoperable overdrive unit. After discussing with the customer, we totally rebuilt the motor and increased compression to 9.85 to 1, added a GP-2 cam, tri-carb intake and headers, completely rebuilt the transmission and overdrive, and lowered the car one inch with new wheels and tires.
It is now a very reliable, very quick TR6 that drives beautifully and we feel the customer will have many years of enjoyment in this very rare, first-year TR6.
