Thanks guys...<br>
<br>
I believe it was only about 1% of Sprints were fitted with the LSD.<br>
Would the tran-x unit fit (same as TR4?). It's for a mate who for some reason wants the original unit and nothing else.<br>
<br>
I remember the ebay units going through for pretty much the same price as a ...

Hi All,<br>
<br>
in need of an LSD for a sprint. Anyone got one for sale?<br>
<br>
Cheers!<br>

Hi<br>
prepping it for the HRCR road rally series, classed as "classic" ie pre 1981, post 1975.<br>
<br>
group-1 homologation only rules apply. (plus only 2 chokes per 4 cylinders - no webers boo...)<br>
<br>
cheers<br>

I read the document and it does indeed say vented discs. <br>
<br>
However the FIA papers do not specify.They do allow twin circiut (and show a picture of the AP calipers) under group-1 but there's no close up to check if it's a vented kit.<br>
<br>
Under group 2 there's a 4 pot kit with vented ...

Hi All,<br>
<br>
Just sorting the sprint for the next season and wondered if any knew if the Sprintparts brakes conversion would fall into "Group-1". I hope it does! The discs are the same diameter and the calipers are still single piston. Only real difference is the thickness due to venting. No ...

Top of Wrynose pass in the Lakes @ 1.30am on LEJOG - dead alternator, flat battery... -13*C too (brass wotsits I can tell you!)<br>
<br>
not fun<br>
<br>
The RAC guy was great though. He put the TR on front wheel pans - we asked him if he could get us to Carlise in under an hour so we didn't miss ...

A quick phone call to Mark @ jigsaw has confirmed that it is very likely to be the alternator and that this is more of a problem now that the new cam has created a lumpy idle.<br>
<br>
All I need to do now is fit the bits! (fingers crossed)<br>
<br>
Even before the cam was changed, if the lights ...

The alternator is (probably) the original 17ACR. My Sprint is (was) relatively untouched and so far I've had to overhaul the starter (among other things) so it's no surprise that the alternator is on its way out. The lights never seem really bright even though the dipped have been halogen converted ...

having scoured several web pages and BBs it would appear that my alternator may not be as efficient as it once was...<br>
<br>
something else to check!<br>
<br>
still open to any ideas though <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT ...

The cam timing seems fine as it will idle nicely @ 1000-1100rpm and screams its way upto the red line no problem. So, the issue seems to be with the kenlowe then.<br>
<br>
Where have you taken the +ve feed for the fan from? <br>
<br>
I'll check the current draw on it too in case it's pulling too ...

Hi<br>
Just got the Sprint back with its nice stage-2 head and fast road cam. It goes very well but I have a problem:<br>
<br>
When the Kenlowe kicks in it virtually stalls the engine. It does something similar on my TR4, but the cam on that isn't quite so hairy so the idle isn't as lumpy, so it ...

Alex, cheers for the article.<br>
<br>
Just organizing a car for over the winter so the Sprint can be garaged and have some work done (and avoid the dreaded salt!), so the article will prove VERY handy.<br>
<br>
Cheers again!<br>

I'm up for it.<br>
<br>
Pre 1978 cars are eligible for classic rallying next year too: Could be fun!

The man from "Del MOnTe" he say YES!!!!!!!<br>
<br>
awesome, 12 more months of Sprinting (and people staring at my car!)<br>
<br>
Adey<br>

PS; put me down for one of the stainless jobbies when they're available!
