The Ford Capri Laser Page

Cant make tuesday as i;m working was gonna go last month but chickened out!

I was still awake just turbned the PC off damn insomnia!
Already checked mosta them links i do believe, i wasnt sure if there were any general resotration websites as most peoples project threads dont teach you a huge amount unless you ask lotsa questions!

Anyone got any good online links to car restoration guides/tips?

its almost 3am and i;m bored

<t>Any reccomendations for an exhaust for my Carpi<br/> Not too fussed if its a full system or a backbox but the cheaper the better!<br/> Basically want something to make it sound a bit beefier but not something as loud as the ashley system. A Deep grunt/roar when booted but a sensible note when cru...

<t>Its where i learnt to drive, if it wasnt for banger racing i;d never have driven a capri in a scrapyard all though years ago and ended up here!<br/> TBH its a great way of getting rid of the rotters, ok it makes parts available occasionally but not overly (mainly due to us not knowing where to ge...

Was an Escort site

TBH its nothing major it's just script kiddies using well documented exploits in PHP Systems usually, providing all secrity updates are applied a forum should on the whole be OK

thats the second forum i use hacked ths month! whose next

Its gone!
Bloody script kiddies!

Bonus, if the paints already good i;d be tempted to go for a blowover coat just on the outside rather than respray the whole lot, far less work and les likely to go wrong!

It didnt leave the factory with no wing mirror some chav booted it off at somepoint in its life leaving a bent rusty doorskin behind! i hammered it straightish and whacked a new one on (horrible it magnifys!) it'll do until i respray my spare door! I wish it didnt have a sunroof instead i have the f...

<t>... and then do loads more!<br/> Preparations 99% of the work in a good sprayjob, if the old paints good just 400 grit it smoothish and spray if its a bit cack i'd be tempted to rub it all down, a colourmatch will be an arse on Diamond white due to the 16 variations even if they do match it to th...

<t>I;m inclined to agree, the Indicator is designed to stay on, it doesnt matter if it doesnt cancel but it should stay on un-aided<br/> <br/> As for the exhaust do whatever it takes to stop it working, my uncle once stuck a piece of chewing gum over a small hole in a box when he got to the MOT cent...

Rare? only reasons its rare is nobody brought em because it was sow low spec!

TBH nothing on its original its had 2 resprays and about 4 engies in its life according to the service histroy

<t>Totally with you on the lower arms thing cheap lower arms are crap especially if the car is lowered, Ford arms are 100 a pair but last longer (2 years on lowered cars) By design the late Escorts suspension gemoetry is crap, revisions made in August 94 (lats 5b's and the mk6) improved this - the f...

Figure i might as well introduce myself now i;ve upset the apple cart! Basically in a nutshell I;m Andy 22 training to be a mechanic, total career change started to do this and dropped out of Uni midway through Computer Science (hence i have no concept of the internet and how to use forums :lol:) An...

<r>You;re confused not as confused as i am!<br/> Are these comments aimed at me? reason i hit respond to this post was mearly because i;d read the whole thread and that was the last post so just whacked the nearest reply button.<br/> Can;t say i posted anything i;d consider out of order, i;ve had Mk...

As for prive not a lot the 1.6 can be haggled down bigtime tbh even for a minter i wouldnt pay more than 800

as stated 2ltr zetec or 130 spec cams coupled with filter exhaust etc. should see 115-120BHp in a 1.6 and 130-135 in the 1.8

It'll be a PATS issue, you need the PATS transponder and key to match that ECU

I Think an ECU with the HYPE coide may work cant remember offhand!
