New tires for autocrossing. The tires are 205/50 15 Kumho Ecsta MXs

New sway bar mounts. One of them was completely missing.

The car was cutting out and loosing power at interstate speeds so a new fuel pump solved that problem.

The steering rack on TRs can be allowed to move back and forth when turning the steering wheel to fix that on this car a couple shims were put onto the rack mounts to hold it tight in place.

The left rear brake cylinder was leaking and made a mess inside the brake drum. After a new cylinder and a bit of cleaning this brake should be in good working order.

New seat slides and mounting hardware were used to fasten down these original TR250 seats.

I cut out a cover for the spare tire. This wood is the type used as underlayment for vinyl flooring and fit very well under the stock clips and flush with the floor on the sides.

The front rubber brake hoses had collapsed from old age and needed to be replaced. New stainless steel brake hoses have been installed.

The carbs have been rebuilt but the front one is spewing fuel from the highlighted hole. This is apparently the float overflow hole. After sitting a bit the new valve loosened up and started working properly.

The carbs badly needed to be rebuilt. The orings on the needs adjusters were hard and leaked gas out the bottom. All of the gaskets were old and stuck to the surfaces and the they were just plain dirty.

The rear brakes look fine and have now been bled to ensure proper working order. Here can see the IRS from the TR6.
