The Triumph 2000 / 2500 / 2·5 Register Forum

Every one of my cars is always rolling road tuned after I've finished tinkering.... Interestingly even the Lada which I returned to original Russian spec (UK had ECU, 3-stage automatic choke, single exhaust manifold downpipe and a cat).

If the MU (Metering Unit) is over fuelling there won't be any issue starting ...

I did this conversion in 2014 - the difference in braking is staggering although I did the rears as well and fitted stainless steel hoses too. I supply ADO16 stainless hoses and can do the Triumph hoses but have never got round to advertising :lol:
