My classic FF

[nu_ninho]

Sorry my bad english...
Well, I have a FF Jamun T12 and i think is 1983 race car but i'm not sure. There's no book history from the car.
I've made all restoration in one year here in Portugal.

This is the car in 1983 (not sure)


This is the car in the present


This is a small video in a urban race time attack

The only change i've made it was fitting two weber's 40 as a open class formula ford.

Re: My classic FF

Hi Russ,
I did not find the translation for "ropey" in my native language...
I only drive this car maybe 7 times a year in some events or track days. I never drived a car like this before...
I forgot to tell i'm not a profissional driver as you can guess and i miss some gears on the track... but i'm working hard how to learn drive this car! lol
You can see on the video, the gearbox ratio is to short because it's was for hillclimb races but i've changed last month for wide gear ratios.

I have a Vulcan 2.1 Pinto in my MK1 RS2000....Steve is a great Guy.

Re: My classic FF

I never realised how tempting a FF looks without its covers. Looks very mean and sinister....
That exhaust manifold looks amazing too!!

Do you know the horse power on this one?

Re: My classic FF

Never tested on Dyno because the car is to very low.
I think have 125hp and I don't have any idea but the car is very fast that's only what i can say.
The weight is 405kg.

Your car looks great and very clean indeed, like work of art!

About your garden... is fine too. Need goats???

Re: My classic FF

Nice FF, and on a street circuit, well driven, putting an FF into the barriers is not something you want to do.

And why dont we in England have street Circuits like this

too many potholes, would be a bloody nightmare with them and of course the roadworks
