The Ford Capri Laser Page

Hi All, I think this has been a long time coming, but it's time to sell my beloved capri. I've owned the car for 8 years and its been the longest car I have ever owned. in those 8 years I've spent over £12,000 on her! not all that money is still in the car, and I most certainly will never see those ...

Well it's been a few years now, a few more engines, starter motors, batteries, alternators, lots of swearing. :swear: HOWEVER... finally after taking my car to http://www.jprtuning.co.uk/ I've managed to get the Capri working :D :applaud: In this instance it was the carb was setup so wrong you would...

For what it's worth I'd like to back 'Caprigear' up 100% he's always been on the end of the phone and I've bought a few parts from him with a great service. I can appreciate what people say, we're all looking for a bargin it's true, I've always felt there was a bit of an 'un written rule' of comrade...

strangely enough I have a pinto turbo manifold (cast) sat in my garage.

It looks identical to this one http://uploads.turbosport.co.uk/Remote0 ... 8049417jpg

Let me know if you would be interested.

Hi all, apologies for a shameless plug for a friend. But some of you may have heard of Vince Woodman the race driver than had fame in the Capri's back in the day. His grandson did a great article on a very rare Sierra Vince owns - thought you might like a read :D http://revmatch.me/2016/03/26/fit-fo...

Hi All, It is with a very heavy heart I'm considering selling my Capri. It has just got a clean MOT last week and I'm looking to potentially move out of the country and just cannot keep my collection of 4 cars! It started life as a 1.6 Laser and was purchased by myself in 2011. It is now a 2.0S repl...

Thanks boys and girls for all the comments and advice. I think I'm going to try and get the whole axle from the scrappy. It might be a bit stiff but hopefully not seized, the car dials were saying 84k on the clock 'MILEAGE GUARANTEED' sticker plastered over the front of it :applaud: Apparently the c...

Thanks for the reply, The diff plug is just stuck beyond belief, we have a plug remover with a breaker bar and one pulling one pushing into it.... it's just started tearing out and rounding off. When I had the whole axle out I removed the cover and put some fresh oil in (guessing how much it needed)...

Hi, I'm going to say very quietly I have a laser that I took these mouldings off and threw away :shock: However at the scrappy near me is a 1984 2.0GL - the thing is completely knackered but I think it has the side trim on it still. I'm popping up Saturday potentially to grab some bits off of it - I...

Hi All, I haven't posted here in a very long time really :shock: my beloved COD (Capri of Dreams) dream came to an end when after a seemingly endless spend it just refused to work properly even though it had a rebuilt engine, strip and respray and endless new parts and then the carb seemed to give u...

I'll look into what cams i've got... looks like one or 2 has gone walkies :/ The exhaust is actually sportex not CCI. The pinto 1.6 is block, and head complete with rocker cover (no bolts) cam belt and pump look quite new but worth checking i guess i have a basic manifold somewhere i think and a 2 p...

meh the usual bmw drivers are always stuck up their ringer and looking down on people because they thing they have made it in life....

PM me or drop me a text i'll definitely ask around - what type of work are you after

Hi Guys, Having a clear out and skipping tons of just utter crap! old bits of wood broken tools etc.. I've got a CCI exhaust that was used for a bout a year, not new and a few dents here and there but does work fine - if you can collect from BS15 in Bristol then £20 it's yours? 1.6 Pinto - original ...

ah ha! rwd!!! Just been SOOOO busy! I now own the 1987 Ford Capri MK3, 1995 BMW E36 323i, 1996 BMW E36 323i (spare parts car), 2008 BMW E92 325i (Daily) I've changed jobs, gone contracting and helped with the Southmead hospital move and now moving on to something else... which i haven't got that far...

my 1.6 laser cost £2k on insurance the first year. I was 19, no no claims and had been driving about a year - That was with tesco which actually worked out a lot cheaper than the bigger names

ha... i've heard a few 'saw a laser injection capri the other day - lovely!' and yh someone i know 'ergh' i said "put the handbrake on and stop burning the clutch!!" and they replied "i'm getting ready to go the lights will go green in a minute!" :wank: and the other one is braki...

If you haven't seen mine - http://www.fordcapriforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=42977 I had a pretty extensive restoration done and the paint all over including fuel tank, struts and in engine bay + fitting 2 wings and welding/cutting out rust on every panel - £3500 which i still think is a ...

So I have a Capri 2.0S (lookalike) and a BMW E36 323i Coupe. Now my BMW has been driving fine, just got a nice set of extended leather door cards and the super hard to come by 10 speaker amped system with the double door tweeters, Thursday it drove like a dream but needed a washer jet replaced, Frid...

I used rubber fuel hose from ebay.

It failed first time on being a little loose in the engine bay, so we jokingly cabled tied it to the positive lead of the starter motor... and it passed

I love MOT testers
