The Big Six
 
I don't have a Honda, but this is my '72 Triumph TR6... my baby. Let me know what you think. It's unrestored and mostly original, and has a freshly rebuilt 2.5 liter straight six. Putting out about 125-130 horses and 155-160 lb-ft of torque. Never dynoed, but the reliable butt-dyno tells me that's about right. Not bad for a 2200 pound car... It's been bored to .030" over, twin Weber DGV carb conversion, a Pacesetter header, Monza quad tip exhaust, and a rear tube-shock conversion (from the original lever shocks). The engine bay has been painted Valencia Blue, a dark blue, and the exterior is to come this summer. I will also be replacing the black interior with light tan ("Biscuit") eventually. And if I can save enough money, I'd like to put a hotter cam in and raise compression to about 10:1 (from stock 8.5:1). Some people like to keep these cars original, but they were built to drive, and that's what I'm going to do! At the moment, the engine and exhaust combo are loud enough to set off car alarms. Sounds like a pissed off lion

I've toyed with the idea of getting a little british convertible to play with, but have never gone through with it. Nice car!
