Based on my experiences of driving my Spyder so-far, I decided to make a few running modifications in order to make things a bit nicer to live with.

1)
I've now changed the 4.11:1 diff to a 3.63:1 diff, so hopefully it won't be quite so Diesel-ish to drive and it'll cruise better on the motorway.

Depending on how this goes i may still change to a 3.27:1 or fit an overdrive conversion in the future, but for the time being and after talking to a lot of men with beards who know about Triumphs , apparently 3.63:1 is the way to start!


2)
The exhaust i've got fitted is one of these:

and IT'S A BIT LOUD!!

So after taking my son for a drive and him sitting there with his fingers in his ears for the entire trip , i've relented and decided to do something about it

So i've just purchased a bolt in baffle from Car Builder Solutions:

And hopefully i can tone it down a bit, without turning it into a "sensible" car
