Shame about the cage being completely awful, but otherwise, it should do what you want it to do............ i.e. not a lot

I take it you have a diesel engine fitted then, as it must only be able to rev to 5500rpm to achieve 120mph on 3.9 final drive and 225/45x15s .

Because it probably had a T34 on, but when the enegine shat itself to have the required engine rebuild, the owner probably only had a T3 kicking around . Either that or it ran high compression and a huge boost spike at low rpm in a previous life, so needed the fuel safety margin these injectors provide.

That cage looks awful, I'm suprised thats compliant?
But overall fun toy, but suprised you bought something like that unless you are genuinely going to rally it. If not, I bet its sold within the month!

Why is the cage awful? Its there to do a job...you wernt allowed weld in cages when this started life....so its a proper spec cage....cant be any less safe than the weld in ones.

Mike Rainbird..thats what he told me..but thinking on i was doin 50mph in top gear at 2000rpm according to the follower who speed trapped me ..also the car has only ever run the t3 as it was mapped for that with the 34mm restrictor...yes greys is an odd choice but then it was 1994 and runs fine...so less of the assumptions mr rainbird.

The cage Phil?

It isn't a Ford motorsport item......... put it that way

Not allowed weld in cages? Come on now, don't be silly........ unless it was used for some mickey mouse road rally or something.

Jealous

I had a PROPER Ford motorsport shell with PROPER Ford motorsport cage as per the build manual.

It was older than your car, FIA approved, and weld-in.

Want some pics of a proper car?

..well plans are maybe a blow over depends how it cleans up..then graphics...general tidy up...get some more proper grp a parts on it..power wise probably just add anti lag with a grp a T34 with a MASSIVE mid range spike.. oh and some 18 inch mags

This WONT be for sale as before i only sold the cossies to buy other cars instead..now i dont have to, this will be a toy to remind me of the late 80's early 90's and why they were the BEST days
