Re: Grilled Fish

Hope the tanks working well for you it makes life easy, how big did you make it? Hi Brad I had access to a 44 plastic oil drum so whipped the top off that and have pilfered your lead idea as I had some flashing left over from roofing - back when you were allowed to use lead for flashing! Started of...

Grilled Fish

I reckon you could have grilled your fish on the bonnet of a Tiger without the engine running. Tom, any more pics of the engine? What ci is it and wh...

Mal as Inspiration

I had the pleasure of meeting Mal last year and saw what great work he was doing with his restoration. I'm miles away with mine and am doing it all in the wrong order, but I thought I'd post a link to the start up of the engine I have built for my Tiger. You can see the Tiger in the background @ 90d...

Tiger spread Collectible Automobiles June 2012

Hi all - nice Tiger (and Alpine/Le Mans et al) spread of 6 or so pages in the current issue of Collectible Automobiles (June 2012). I've not seen this publication before but it really does devote a fair slab of text and images to all vehicles featured. Link below is one of a few listing sale of the ...

Greetings All - just treated myself to a visit to the SEMA show in the States that showcases the latest automotive performance goodies. For my own Tiger I already have a throttle body EFI system from Comp Cams (FAST - also used by another forum poster) but at this year's show MSD released their own ...

Anyone catch the chassis number of this one? I too supect it is an original import RRO. Graham STOC Editor Hi Graham - VIR report, which I'm guessing is a bit like a DVLA search - Mal could confirm - returns B9473620 RRO. No record of JAL or engine number (actually the VIN number is recorded as the...

Reminds me of Super Gas class back here in the late 80's. That was a 9.90 index with a heads up start. It always made for great racing and was a bit like a Pro Stock for the masses (save the break out). The heads up was what made it for me. That said, a 9.90 car was pretty much a full on race car, b...

Now there's a nice homage to the AHRA Tigers of yore! 10 sec class in itself is very impressive. Heads up as well - classic stuff. Congratulations! Just as an aside, how does "the little Green car" track under that kind of torque with such a short wheelbase? Me thinks a certain centre line would bei...

Early Toploader to 6 bolt Engine

Mal There's a 6 bolt casting to narrow toploader currently listed on US eBay Motors (as at 21/07/2010) For another aftermarket alternative, look at the Quicktime housings. They're spun metal, much lighter than Mcleod and Lakewood, and smaller in OD than OEM. Also SFI rated so they shouldn't attempt ...
