Im back online now so will get some more pics up ! It turns over now and has hooge oil pressure but an electrical glitch needs ironing out before it will run , sorted the fuel system , took hours making up bloody aeroquip pipes but now all 4 pumps run and deliver masses of fuel pressure up to the engine . Spent hours Dzus fastening the bumpers and the fuel cell cover too , what a job that was !

Hi Wim, The T34 is great for mid range punch , lagfree at full throttle , ive a T4 for use with the 8 injector set up but i can only use that in the National Championships , not the regional ones i do at the moment ( or have done anyway ! ) .
Cheers

I do the BARCs Sports and saloon car series and the Track & race car saloon car championship ( was In-Gear sponsored last year when i won the 2 litre , 2wd class by a country mile in my Sapphire ) . Will do these and maybe some Ford saloon car challenge, Formula saloons has now folded but i would have done a few Brands Hatch rounds .
Basically it will race in anything that it complies with the regs for !
