Hi everyone and all the best for the season. I have an Equipe Gt4s with a modded 1500 engine, a Mk 3 spit O/D gearbox running through a 4:11 Herald diff and standard Bond driveshafts. I want to uprate to the 3:63 diff to make the most of the extra power and raise the top whack a bit. So I need to know a couple of things... 1) Is that the best diff or should I go to 3:89? 2) Do I need to change the flanges on the driveshaft/propshaft? 3) Where are the best/best value ones available? Many thanks, Calvin.

In an old Courrier, the standard white was paint code 846, |I can't find any reference to this anywhere today on the web. Bizarre.

Thanks Andy. Glad to be back.

Ha! I'm not rich enough.

Hi ya, might catch up sometime.

Thanks Pete, I have, they recommend that it is more complicated than just replacing the bumpstops, they wonder about the state of the shocks too. I am sure they work fine as do the springs. I don't want to change all of it right now but would like to improve my chances of getting round Cadwell on the 27th May without understeering off the circuit due to lack of front suspension travel. I will have to think about this some more although I wonder what or if others have done anything similar on here.

Hi Nick, a pleasure I'm sure.

Hi all, My TR7 has lowered/uprated springs as fitted by the PO. He refitted the original bumpstops, about 3 - 4" long. This has left me with about 2" of suspension travel. This is not enough and clearly it needs smaller bumpstops, anyone got any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Calvin.

Hi Matthew, thanks, Pete is the oracle I can only aspire to be.

Hi Kevin, I'd got up to a couple of thousand posts on the old forum when I was last on here, oh well, better get typing.

Not sure about this newbie tag though.🤣

Indeed, totally agree, look forward to making new friends as well catching up with familiar faces.

Yep, hi Pete, the 2000 is a wolf in sheep's proverbial (Auto not so much) at any rate. Glad to see you're still about. The Bond is awaiting its second build and the TR7V8 is never more than a heart beat away from a fettle. Look forward to catching up again soon. Calvin

Hey, this has changed a bit. Anyway, I've rejoined the club after some time away and am looking forward to getting out and about this summer seeing as we probably won't be able to travel abroad. hope to see you out there. Cheers, Calvin.
