Joining the TR Club

Which is what makes this guy amazing:

Fresh tires really help too, biggest change was going to an 18" wheel with a new tire. Someone here described the "Italian driving position" with hands on the bottom half of the wheel at 4 and 8, and I've found that works well for cruising with my arms relaxed off my thighs.

More than any other car I've owned it is sensitive to warmup/temperature. And my surprise was how high the engine needs to rev at freeway speeds, even in 5th. I've been pleasantly surprised though when it's good and hot, how it responds well to being pushed rather hard.

Universally loved, at least. People want to say hey and talk about it.

 

Try adding a 2"/50mm steering wheel extension:

Made a huge difference for me.

 

Nice car!

I have had my '91 since NOV and I have put about 500-ish miles on it so far. I find it drives quite nice and lives up to the GT Car Mantra. It is not a race car for sure. My 930 Slant Nose is the race car, so I am lucky enough to have both experiences. My TR has 6-year-old Good Year Tires, so the tires need done. I think that I am going with the Pirelli Asymmetric's for a little more modern upgrade vice Michelins. I have the Capristo exhaust, and it is a bit loud I think for a long trip, but it is musical when I am sporting it around on the short haul. So, the OEM Exhaust may be a better match for GT Cruising. I find that I can't hear the Miami Vice Soundtrack. The slant nose is far rarer, but the TR gets way more attention. Get used to people running up on you like they are going to hit you to take your picture. The gas station guy(s) are interesting as well. I haven't found any haters, so I think everybody loves a TR.

Drive it and enjoy it like it was meant to be!
