Turbo 2.3 TR7 introduction

[flylear45]

Hello, I just wanted to say hello to all and introduce my trusty TR7 turbo. It has served me well since I finished it (is a hotrod project ever finished??) back in 2008.

http://home.roadrunner.com/~jimmble/index/TR7_text.html is where I began to chronicle the build in 2006. I continued on the Turboforums http://www.theturboforums.com/threads/313857-Triumph-TR7-with-Ford-2-3-turbo starting in 2007.

The car is about ready to get freshened up with new paint and a front brake upgrade, otherwise it is just a fun car with excellent manners that holds two sets of golf clubs in the trunk!

Jim,  So now that golf is over for the year you have time for the rest of us Triumph guys.  Good to see the car again.  Built a new work shop for mine.

LOL You got that right, Dale!

I like the mods you did to your car. I have a TR6 and a TR250 here to put together. I'm going to do the TR250 first, I think. It'll be all stock. I might do something with the TR6, though. We'll see.

Hi Jim,

That makes (I guess) 3 of us TurboFord Guys that have made it over here as it seems my 76, Capri's are acceptable.

We don't exactly fit right anywhere!

I love that Capri. Awesome job on it Don.

Another little project I may take on is to do a power steering rack adaptation on the TR. It probably won't be from the TR8, though. I'm looking into other options.

I am still tidying up a few things on the 5.0 Thunderbird turbo project now as well.
