That Triumph is cool. Ever thought about going with a fuel injected/blow-through setup like the SVO had? Then you could add an intercooler pretty easily. But I'm sure it's fast enough to have a lot of fun with already!

That Triumph is in no way pretty ... but if it's just a blur, I guess it don't matter.

Yea i blew the turbo up just recently, looking and blowthru carb figure it would cost me roughly $700 for a good setup w/ intercooler... still dont know which way,... ive been running 12psi of hot air, i wonder what 15psi of cold air would feel like?

i think it would pull a wheelie in 1st and 2nd if the traction was there its incredibly fast as is... it still has the 'original' rims/tires on it, tho so it spins until top of 2nd, then goes like a raped ape in 3rd/4rth

1st is a granny gear not really useable..

thanks. im going for the go car look, not show car

i think it would be ok if i did some minor work to it, i just owned the car for like 6 years and been working on it since i was 16.. so its been a project. i think it would run 12s it could hook up. 13s as is prolly... i got roughly $1800 into it but it has headwork and a cam, carb, upped boost....

i got the driveshaft covered up and matching seat covers on it now... you can still see the tranny but theres no chance of getting wrapped into it no more.
