First photos I've seen and I think it looks awesome , can't wait to see it in the flesh Ian.
Jango, when yours is finished will you paint it with some rainbow metalic fleck paint,you know it makes sense...you like retro....

What plans, Jango?

Was this an unfinished project car that used to be a 2.3pi racer and was originally going to have a T5 motor? Documented on the old sideways forum?

Thanks Tom

There are a number of guys in the Doncaster / Sheffield area, not necessarily CT members who went last time. I think on og the great GT6s that entered last time was very seriously damaged on the Nachtritt last year.   :(  

If you are selling the 13's off it drop me an email and let me know, also bear in mind that it has ford fitment wheels as i spoke with the owner last year and its been converted to 4x108.

Can you share some more pics of the car?

Id also be interested in the bonnet, bootlid and plexi windows if you are planning to return it to a more road spec'd car.

Also are the doors fibreglass or just ligthened standard doors?

How deep are your K&N's?

Or you could fit an original Triumph Pi system of course it too has it.s ( EFI) critics and I have to say Tim's car with all the work he has done on the engine is a fantastic motor.

He will be the first to say that the EFI system he has fitted gives great results and I can say his car is not easy to stay with even in an Audi TSFi 210bhp Quattro  ;D but he has doen a lot of work to his engine.  ;)

But Tim will tell you he has done what he is done to his car to achieve a very fast road/track day car and he has got such a car and I take my hat off to him  :) ;)

As for fitting EFI on your car you may feel like others you just want to see triple webbers under the bonnet and listen to the fantastic induction roar they give. The only down side I can hear with EFI is a muted induction noise  :-/

But you should take advice from some of the chaps on here a lot of them have a great deal of good advice to give you. But listen less so to the zealous people who will try and scare you with over inflated costs of fitting webber carbs. They are not easy things to setup right but once done they are the dogs for a sweet induction noise and do give the best from a well sorted engine.

As for MPG come on if MPG is such a major thing for owners of old cars then get rid and buy something modern sad if MPG worries you so much in driving your classic car. The last thing that you should be looking at on a fantastic run out on a stunning road with great views is your blooming petrol gauge ;D

These people will always push EFI as they have built their whole thing on EFI and push everything a side that is not EFI.

But just remember it's your car your money and your life and you need to do and live it the way that makes you happy with your car  ;)

Oh and if you have the money to spare then spend it how you want not how others would want you to :)

Now just read the replies to my reply  ;) and make your own mind up you will get great help on this forum for which ever way you go on your car. ;)

Me well I now have a Pi setup for my car but I also now have a set some Italian webber/dellorto carbs  :o not sure what will end up on my car but the carbs are less work to fit but require a bit more once fitted :-/

Just look at the picture below I took at Prescott of a Vitesse fitted with such carbs what a sight hey.
