The Ford Capri Laser Page

Hi Andrew!

Looking at it this morning and there is allot of swing on the mounts, I had a look on eBay and they have some poly bushes or rubber ones ? Have you ever used the poly ones or know if they are any good?

Thanks for getting back to me

Toby

I upgraded to the sportex 2" as many of you know, however I have had non stop issues and one being that the rear section swings into the tyre and rubs! I have tried tighting it and changed the angle on the bracket but it just keeps swinging out :( Any advise would be great as I'm about to blow ...

Free rear windscreen to anyone willing to pay the postage, good condition came from a late laser and has got the number plate etched into it unfortunately. Acquired it when I brought he tailgate!

Let me know if you need it

Toby

Hi Toby, Glad you got it sorted, the exhaust note will change slightly over the next few hundred miles or so anyway. PS. Have your Retro Rides Club been invited to this ? https://www.facebook.com/events/1018805828151927/ I will probably pop along with the XROC ATB Andy Hi andy i hadn't seen that ev...

Hi guys been busy as a bee but just got the stud out and re fitted everything! To busy to put a video up but will do tomorrow and get back to you all!

Toby

ITS ALL FITTED! FINALLY! After stripping the car a few days ago, when the exhaust arrived yesterday it was a 35 minute job! HOWEVER! I managed to snap a bolt inside the head of the engine :/ so i need to extract the stud! however I'm away this weekend but ill do it monday on my day off and get some ...

Hi Toby, Nice one should fit together fine. At least with the Manifolds you can now upgrade the Cam at a future date.....? Although they can be more difficult to drive around town with a bigger Cam! Be warned...... We await pics of your 2" Tip :xd: Andy Hi Andy, Someone approached me with a fu...

GOOD NEWS, just ordered the 2" Sportex Exhaust with the Bomb silencer! Actually very excited! Thank all for the comments! Taken a day off next week and ill let you know when its all fitted! Poor Toby must be "exhausted" after reading all our comments :) Nick you should be ashamed of t...

First of all thanks every for the replies! :D :D Hi Toby, Looks like you have to buy the whole system inc Downpipe/Manifold http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Capri-1-6-2-0-Sportex-Performance-4-Branch-Manifold-Exhaust-Sys-Single-2-/271972574620?fits=Car+Make%3AFord%7CModel%3ACapri&hash=item3f52d425...

At the risk of getting raped on here again :lol: :lol: , id just like to ask I would like a sportext exhaust manifold to help the flow of my (well you guessed it) exhaust gasses, BUT i don't want a stupid chav like extremely loud one, is it possible to fit/or anyone know of someone who makes a manif...

In short you need to speed up the gas flow for sidedrafts (as Bug and others say - twin carbs usually come last on the mod list) - BUT I'd say a four branch and sports exhaust system at the least - then select some modest sized chokes and suitable trumpets for the carbs and get them set up - there ...

Thanks Andrew haha! So what you're saying Bug is, a sported exhaust manifold would be a decent purchase, I don't like the sound of loud exhaust I like the sound of an induction. I can't stand a car so loud you can't talk when you're around it! I know a more free flowing exhaust would mean better per...

Alright pal, Like i said i do actually appreciate the knowledge you guys have given me! Not once have i slatted either of you for that! I have learnt from your posts etc, i can see what you mean and i think ill just leave the thread and crack on with my own steam. I wont bother you anymore as i can ...

But glad to hear you likes my twin air horns! But to say I didn't even know they were on the car when I brought it is the truth! They sounds great and I always give it a toot at shows and if I see people check the car out! Always makes them smile! Hi Toby. Nice one fella. Thanks for your reply mate...

I know people keep saying hEAd and CAM but i don't want to do HEAd and CAM, I want to fit twin carbs on my car, for the noise not for the power, i am not trying to crash my car into a hedge, nor drag race down the street and leave the chavs in the dust (as fun as that sounds). I just wanted some hel...

Thanks Mc Tool for a bit of input, had me pick my hopes up a bit. The capri isn't really a "bad ass drift race car" the idea of twins was to make it sound a bit nicer, and get a small increase in power, and i always thought i could change the exhaust at a later date for a sported exhaust! ...

Ah okay!! Right that makes more sense like I said pretty new to the whole carb and tuning point! I new a new exhaust and can could have been an option. But like you say with the vacuum and also having to fit manual chokes, I can see how you mean it won't be worth the hassle! Maybe I'll have a think ...

Still need to arrange a meet! I tried to do one in western early September but I don't think it's going to happen! Due to lack of interest! Hi Toby, Get yourself along to Bristol in October. A few of us are going, hopefully. All the best, Andrew. Hi Andrew could you message me the details please? M...

Hi nick! Just had a quick read on this post haven't read all comments as I'm at work being naughty! But glad to hear you likes my twin air horns! But to say I didn't even know they were on the car when I brought it is the truth! They sounds great and I always give it a toot at shows and if I see peo...
