The Ford Capri Laser Page

Before you get too deep into it, are you sure it's a mechanical clunk, and not a knock being generated by driveline shunt due to the engine faltering? I had something similar years back - turned out to be the coil breaking down. But if it is something like that, how come he's only getting it in low...

I dunno, a post-apocalyptic look is a refreshing change from toothbrushed concourse jobs.
A mint 280 and its ironed-jeans owner wouldn't have got in that music video would it?

True. And as some appreciating old geezer once said "they all used to look like that back in the day"

Sobering.
This why you favour the 'not-worth-nicking' rustic look?

Partly, but mostly a poverty issue

Plus it wont run at the moment, anyone nicks mine I'd like to hire them as a mechanic.

Also tracker blocking technology is evolving faster than trackers. They're a total waste of money these days with Capris going for what they do. They hire a brand new Sprinter on Monday with a good tracker fitted by the hire company, they stick a few hundred quids worth of blocker on it and leave it...

Sorry, this forum can be a nightmare, especially for the non residents. No adverts, no fees, no tracking cookies collating your details and tons of free information... hardly a "nightmare" is it :lol: :lol: :lol: replying with anything is often better than no reply at all, the guy gets a free bump ...

Box of 6 from Tesco, £2. Just sellotape em on.

They should have a post 90s section too, its hardly a massive effort!

I think post 90s is already covered by the post 80s

:lol: If you read the comments on these videos, a large amount are positive and hate the now PC Brigade. Makes you wonder how many are actually offended :? I think it's a small amount, unfortunatly they are given the benefit of doubt and we all suffer change :roll: I think all that will implode one...

Shame the roof has to come off, be a good bit of fun otherwise.

I've had a few screams and a few tears in the rally cammed two litre :lol: last one was racing a Seat then a modded Range Rover Sport joined in. The Range Rover driver was absolutely pissing himself with laughter. My girlfriend was not though, forgot she doesnt like it as much as me. Mine handles gr...

I thrash mine 100mph all day long, drums and solid discs, can't remember what pads, brakes fine, very rarely get brake fade. Rarely as in once in ten years and I was trying to keep up with an Impreza. As said just make sure everything is good nick. Yeah ,I could well believe that Tom 😆except for th...

I knew there was sommat I had to tell you lot 😆. Di and I went to the Otautau car show a few weeks back ,there was a yellow Lambo parked with all the other knob rots cars , but as we were gearing up to leave this Capri comes wandering in and parks up on the edge of the group of cars , then about 5m...

No, it will sink, its made of steel.

I've had both and I'd go with pinto too - lighter, therefore handles better, simpler and easier to work on, cheaper to mend. And If you want more power the modifications are more plentiful and considerably easier to implement. And in stock form theyre MUCH better on fuel.

Yes and when my auntie grew testicles she became my uncle.

Trust you to talk bollox

it was getting silly, "this is the better engine if it was modified to be totally different, except when it wasn't and then this other type was better, except when it broke."

Crank broke, camgear failed, lost pushrods, heads flooded with oil with high pressure oil pump. With tuning camshaft + bettter exhaust gave +15bhb (to 150bhb same as stock 2.8...) and fuel consumption rise to horrible 20l+/100km I agree with the timing gear being weak but the same design is used on...
