At the insistence of Webmaster Basil, I'm compelled to introduce myself.
I'm Gary ( aka aussie TR) owner of two TR's - a red 1958 TR3A and a white 1964 TR4. I live in sunny Sydney and belong to two Triumph car clubs, firstly the TR Register Australia Inc that caters solely for sidescreen TR's. I happen to be the current secretary of this organisation.
The other club is the TSOA (Triumph Sports Owners Association) NSW branch. This club caters for all TR's plus sedans, Spitfires, GT6's, and other Triumphs with a sporting bent.
My TR3A has a few modifications. The usual performance mods - head, cam, extractors (headers), electric fan, harmonic balancer. Plus TR4 rear end with widened rear guards, TR6 72-spoke wire wheels with 195.65 tyres, 4.1 diff, overdrive, fast road suspension setup, roll bar for circuit work.
My TR4 is currently pretty standard with surry top, overdrive, minilite-style alloy wheels. Currently a new engine (actually the original) is being prepared with similar mods to the 3A engine.
I am planning on doing a slightly different set up with the TR4 suspension.
Whereas the 3A has 450# front springs and new larger (8mm) main leaf spring with uprated shock absorbers, one of our local race suspension workshops has developed an adjustable Panhard rod that works remarkably well with a softer suspension setup. In my 3A I chased a TR4 with this setup around a local circuit and was impressed how flat the 4 sat on the road. The owner tells me it rides like a much more modern car. He also races one of the fastest TR3A's in the country.
By the way, when I first bought the 3A years ago it had twin Weber 40 DCOE carburettors. Best thing I ever did was to replace them with SU's. No apparent loss of power, much better fuel economy and rarely need to touch them. The engine bay does not bring ooh-ahs like before though.
All in all I look forward to contributing to your forum.
