86 laser
It really is with a heavy heart that I have to put my capri up for sale. I've had her for about 10 years but I've come to realise that I'm not going to have to time or space to work on her for atleast another 5 years atleast. So she started life as a 2l laser and I daily'd it for 6month or so with n...

Re: Front crossmember
When I painted mine I dropped it out of the car, cleaned it all up and hammerited the shit out if it.
Although I'd suggest giving it a good few coats as mine has worn away slightly from jacking it up off of it

Re: Brookland woes
Andrew I've literally been out in the garage every night for the last year haha but as I said to get it done in time I'd just need to put a big chunk of my house fund to go towards parts. So on the upside I guess I'm slowly becoming an adult as usually I'd just say fuck it and spend the money :lol:...

Re: what is this?
It's for taking bike chains apart, the windey handle pushes the pin out of a chain to take it apart to lengthen or shorten the chain

Brookland woes
So with Brooklands getting ever nearer, it's becoming more apparent to me that my capri won't be finished in time :/ To say I'm disappointed and annoyed at myself is an understatement, but with an impending house purchase and now a holiday to save for let alone the time scale, it just isn't going to...

Engine swap wiring
Just need to get the wiring done on my capri then fingers crossed she'll run (doubtful I know) So I've done an engine swap for an mx5 engine and the intention was to use the mx5 loom for the engine and the standard capri loom for all the electrics like headlights and that kind of stuff. Currently I'...

Re: Car Storage?
I've got a double garage at my parents where my capri is and my dad just bought some heavy duty deadbolt locks from amazon for about £20 a pair. Theyve got hardened steel bolts that are about 15mm thick and mount on the inside on the door with captive bolts so the only way to get through them is wit...

Re: diesel engine in a capri? discuss
I thought about doing this a while ago for the same reasons as you, but never did anything about it, have a search on capripower I'm sure someone on there did the exact swap your talking about

Cheers for that mate, luckily I was preparing myself to buy a new fuel tank so looks like it's definitely happening now haha340truck wrote:I ran the Rat on efi....you do need either the 2.8 tank and pump or a swirl pot. Otherwise when you go round a corner the engine will cut out.

Another fueling question
So im in the middle of my engine swap and it's coming up to fueling, I'm using an efi engine on a 2l laser so how do I go about fueling? Would I be able to stick an inline fuel pump on the existing tank and be good? Is a swirl pot essential? Would it be easier to stick a 2.8 fuel tank (with internal...

Re: Daily Driver In Danger - Mk3 Ford Capri
I don't know how everyone else does it but I've found the easiest way to put a gearbox back in is with 2 jacks, one at either end of the gearbox to give it the right angle and height and just wiggle the fuck out of it until it goes in haha If it's any consolation last night I put the gearbox back in...
