- I fear this list is going to receive a fair number of these from me over the next few (several?) months. A bit of background first. The beast has been sitting patiently in the garage for about 10 yea

- ** O.K. you asked. . .In my humble opinion, not the best of ideas Unless your also planing to replace the tranny with a TR6 (difficult at best) or replace GT6 trannys quite often, then don't use a 2

- Funny this should come up, because I was just pondering the same issue. As per the transmission, it would definitely seem to be "the weakest link ... goodbye!" -- but I've seen Terry Hurrell of Trium

- Not to belabor the point, but what kills trannys is not horsepower per se, but torque. Even a 160hp 2.0 probably still doesn't develop as much torque as a stock 2.5; it just does it at a higher rpm.

- That's not belaboring the point, it's a good one. Rereading the article quoting Hurrell, it's not perfectly clear whether the 160bhp comes from a 2.5 liter engine or not. But the article does say "th

- Message text written by "Martin Secrest" ... goodbye!" -- but I've seen Terry Hurrell of Triumphtune quoted as saying "we regularly put 160hp into our GT6 transmission without a problem." I suppose t

- Hi Scott I can give you some reasoned debate on this point as I have 2000 sedan and 2.5 sedan. First the 2.5 engine is considerably heavier than the 2000, I believe the figure is 80 lbs, but not sure
