Last try before I let this rest: Diesel engine?

Djetset · « **Reply #76 on:** July 26, 2010, 07:54:32 AM »

No diesel engines here!

A change of scenery as this one hasn't been touched for quite a while.

As a reminder, we've established that it is a Triumph TR7, but why has it been modified to look like this?

I believe it was a trial by the works department to increase airflow to the engine, and also decrease weight

Djetset · « **Reply #79 on:** November 16, 2010, 04:08:02 PM »

Getting warmer, as it was a BL Works trial, but not for the reasons you've mentioned.

Air-cooled?

Djetset · « **Reply #81 on:** November 17, 2010, 07:13:43 AM »

No, getting cooler.

Reducing drag for a higher top speed?

Djetset · « **Reply #83 on:** November 17, 2010, 12:48:47 PM »

Getting warmer again. Stick with that thinking, elaborate, and you may get the answer.

guido66 · « **Reply #84 on:** November 17, 2010, 12:53:37 PM »

Was it prepared for a record attempt?

Djetset · « **Reply #85 on:** November 17, 2010, 12:55:29 PM »

Getting colder again.

guido66 · « **Reply #86 on:** November 17, 2010, 12:58:15 PM »

Turbocharger with an intercooler?

Djetset · « **Reply #87 on:** November 17, 2010, 12:58:57 PM »

Colder still... $:-\$

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #88 on:** November 18, 2010, 04:52:33 AM »

Drag racing?

Allemano · « **Reply #89 on:** November 18, 2010, 05:13:17 AM »

a mechanical or aerodynamic issue?

Djetset · « **Reply #90 on:** November 18, 2010, 07:55:09 AM »

Neither, although the modification marginally impacts on both.

pnegyesi · « **Reply #91 on:** November 18, 2010, 09:01:08 AM »

It's got something to do with fuel economy I am sure. Was it created to accomodate an alternative power plant which would enable it to go much faster?

Djetset · « **Reply #92 on:** November 18, 2010, 10:58:52 AM »

No, not that either!

pnegyesi · « **Reply #93 on:** November 18, 2010, 11:04:00 AM »

Design to accomodate new body materials, like increased use of plastic?

Djetset · « **Reply #94 on:** November 18, 2010, 11:09:28 AM »

Getting colder.

pnegyesi · « **Reply #95 on:** November 18, 2010, 11:12:58 AM »

Ice racing

? (as in getting colder)

Djetset · « **Reply #96 on:** November 18, 2010, 11:14:05 AM »

Positively shivering!

pnegyesi · « **Reply #97 on:** November 18, 2010, 11:19:38 AM »

Would this be a test mule for a serious race car?

Djetset · « **Reply #98 on:** November 18, 2010, 11:21:48 AM »

Still cold, although it was modified for competition reasons.

Allemano · « **Reply #99 on:** November 18, 2010, 11:26:54 AM »

Is it simply about the improved lights?
