Rest assured Ben - your car has shocks, at least in the front. Since they form the upper A-arm on the B suspension, your car could not roll, steer, or even stand on it's own wheels without the fronts

I would agree with your perception that the early TR7's did suffer from terrible quality and workmanship. 1977 and 1978 model TR7's are acknowledged as being amongst the poorest quality cars ever bu

Sounds like a great way to get started to me. I happen to have a 77B, and love it. When I bought my car, it was in much worse shape than you describe, and cost me a helluva lot more. As for books, b

The shortcomings of the RBB are relatively easily corrected, assuming that you are not subject to a lot of smog test related problems (as I know Pat is). Step one is a desmog of the car. Next is a c

You may want to think about this one a bit more. The early seats were smaller, and less supportive than the later type. Additionally, to adjust the incline you were required to remove a couple of bo

It is unlikely that the valves will be causing your problem, the valve guides are the likely wear item that would cause high oil consumption. If you are burning a lot of oil it's more likely than no

One caveat to your assumption. Make sure you pick a engine that was widely used. The popularity of our B's helps to ensure that spares will continue to be available down the road. The same may not b

Dan What I think you are assuming is that your 15-20 h.p. figure is a constant. It's not. The higher gearing provides a mechanical advantage. The engine does not have to put out as much power to move
