Re: Complete pinto turbo setup

Few more questions, what sort of power are you expecting from it, it comes with the turbo manifold and downpipe but what sort of system are you running.

I live in Newcastle so Wiltshire is a long drive so just want things clear in my head before I consider coming down for a look.

Re: Mk1 Interior

You can still get bits but they are expensive for some things. A full mk3 dash will fit a pre facelift with some modification, Aldridge do door cards and the under dash parcel tray for a mk1 but that still leaves you with the rest. Ask in the right places and you will be able to get them. Join the m...

Re: Sheared exhaust studs (2.8i)

Hi guys for future reference if you snap a stud you can use stud extractor sockets available online and at halfrauds. If the stud is flush with the head you need to use the easy out if you can still see the stud and get a socket in you can put the sockets on and they grip as you turn and bring the s...

Re: Wanted! 2.8 speical axle with diff etc

Im in a similar positon to you, I want to put a LSD in my mk1 and theres a few thing to consider. The mk3 axle will need narrowing to fit under the wheel arches of a mk1. By the time you buy a working LSD, (around £5-600) and get it narrowed you could buy a quaife lsd to fit your mk1 axle. Its moder...

Re: Painting rocker covers and air filter housing

Personally I have always got stuff powder coated or painted, Its all in the prep so if you local sandblaster knows what he is doing ask him to blast them off and then etch prime them, you then have a good surface to paint on to.

Re: Now There's A Rare Beast...

this is local to me and I may take a look, it looks rough and for £3500 over priced, they say it will be worth seven mint, it may be but that means you have to get it fully painted and looking concourse for another £3500 a tall order if you ask me.

if I do look I will report back.

Re: turbo technics capri

The turbo kit will be worth something depending on how much of it is still there.

It should have a manifold on the drivers side for the turbo, a link pipe to the passenger side, an intercooler in front of the radiator and all the associated pipework,

I would be interested if your braking the car.
