I just read an article in "Hemming's Sports and Exotic Cars" where a guy took his TR6 and made it into what it should have been. He put fuel injection on it, a five speed and a lsd. He removed as much of the PoD's electrical crap as he could and replaced the entire wiring harness with one that uses electricity and not 'smoke'
He made a car that is competative with today's best but still retains it's TR ness
