Garage / TCS black paint under door sill trim
« Last post by Kendo on Today at 09:51:38 AM »Does anyone have a good picture of a TCS with black paint below the door sill trim? Preferably on a car not painted black 
I know we discussed this in the past. But I can't find the thread. I want to get an example to my painter so he knows what I'm talking about.

« Last post by Bainford on Today at 08:13:14 AM »A lovely Special. If I was in the market, I would be all over this. In fact, aside from colour, it is remarkable similar to my own. It will be interesting to see how well it does.

Garage / Re: Running hot - any advice?
« Last post by EuropaTC on Wednesday,April 17, 2024, 10:11:24 PM »I think it was generally accepted that the Stromberg cars ran hotter than Weber/Dellorto cars, it was mentioned lots of times in my Club Lotus days.
Miles Wilkins also makes a passing reference in his book on the TC, saying that they run 5C hotter than Weber engines, 95C being normal. He put that down to several things, the leaner mixture, port shape and, in the Elans, the smaller radiators introduced at the same time. The radiators are the same on Europas so that reason is out, but even so I wouldn't be surprised to see them a touch warmer.
