The Ford Capri Laser Page

You can bolt a 2.0 Weber onto a 1.6 and it will run absolutely fine. It's been done many times. Especially if you use a 2ltr cam.

Everything loaded except Marquee which I'll pick up from it's storage on the way...hope it's gonna fit in the fezza.
As usual I don't have any charcoal, make sure you bring some everyone. "Light the bag" works best!

I should be there about 3.

Anyone other than the usual suspects coming this year? Would be great to see a new face or two.

Acceleration stutters have nothing to do with the idle mixture. Set it up correctly and see whether starting gets better.

Hi yes just brought it out of hibernation a month ago and have checked everything over thanks

Have you checked and adjusted (if necessary) the idle mixture?

Put a nail instead of the fuse and lok for the smoke. Quickest way to find which circuit has the short

Best always to keep it as Ford assembled it.

If that is the near side the shoes are the wrong way round

Yes I believe they are.

I know whats wrong....I think. Anyone else know and want to say it first?

Idle mix is probably too lean. Properly set up, especially on a 1600, a 32/36 weber can have the choke flaps completely removed and still start ok from cold. Check the accelerator pump jet diaphragm is ok - when you open the throttle quickly there should be a visible and audible squirt of petrol. As...

That engine has to come out. Why unseize it in situ (doubt it's gonna move anyway) when it's gonna have to be stripped down and rebuilt anyway - it's fucked. Simples.

I assume you mean adjustable shock absorbers? Rears should be available but 2.8's have Bilstein struts on the front and I'm fairly sure aftermarket ones aren't available for these but I'm ready to be corrected. The answer is to fit std Capri struts. If it's ride height you want to adjust then fixed ...

Personal opinion...don't believe the LSD hype. Never had a problem on the track without one in the Rat. For normal road driving it's seems to be overkill. Everyone likes to kick the back out a bit occasionally when coming off a roundabout, much harder to do with LSD, you need to push it harder so mo...

Can I just stick my tuppence in on this one....apologies if I've misread or not understood the problem. If the brakes are assembled correctly, with new shoes, and the cylinder pistons are fully in, with the handbrake adjuster fully backed off (not as in the picture which I know is not of this partic...

Doesn't the horn have a permanent live feed and is operated by being earthed? Or was that just really old cars?

Yep that'll be safe. Fuse blows before wire goes.

Remember the fuse rating is dependant on the rating of the wire you are using. 15amp fuse in 20amp wire...nice and safe. 20amp fuse in 15amp wire and if something goes wrong, I can smell smoke and your FIRE and theft policy is gonna be needed.

Ok a bit of miss communication, I thought it was the laser interior cloth not the late S type called laser. I can get the plane cloth but the stripe has since run out. Mike Hi Mike. No miss communication mate. I just hijacked this thread to ask you about the availabilty of the strobe material. Sorr...

Skipped loads myself and seen others chucking away laser seats and door cards back in the day. No-one wanted them. Nowadays gen u win laser interior probably need a mortgage to buy.

Sometimes glad I don't play the capri game anymore
