The Ford Capri Laser Page

<t>This email has been passed from our logistical manager,<br/> <<>><br/> Allegedly!<br/> <br/> The new electronic signs on the M6 were switched on this Tuesday. The<br/> >bad news is that they are rigged with the SPECS speed cameras. This<br/> >probably applies to all the new signs being installed ...

<t>why are my front brakes squeeling,only when they are hot i might point out! they`ve squeeled since day one,but i recently changed the TCA`s and Top mounts ARB etc etc so while the struts were off i copper greesed behind the pads and put them back,they still squeel but granted not as much,a visual...

i`m a big fan of nitro, i`ve used it a few times,and because it puts less stress on the engine i know i can use it on my pinto and not worry about head gaskets and piston rings

have you got an item number???? i really want a set i had a look at the DIY angle eyes thing,but they won`t fit in our capris,unless you change the headlights to VW golf lamps,the whole of the back comes off Thanks in advance

<t>a chain saw engine?? you must be kidding!its a leaf blower engine LOL,your right though it`ll sound like a mobile version of the texas chain saw massacre,the car will be injected soon,so i don`t need to worry about boxes for my carbs,i just got over the shock of having a catch tank in the engine ...

<t>anyone seen that Ebay Auction for a diy supercharger kit? or more to the point has anyone tried it or know of anyone whoes tried it? i stumbled across this with a guy i work with a couple of years ago, its an electric air compressor apperantly most yank cars have these as standard to reduce emisi...

<r>I was pretty close to doing a conversion from a 7 series with those ring effect,but they are as mentioned above, discharge lamps,the caps and new lines i would have needed put me off,also the light switch thats in the capri provides no resistance,and thats how the beemer light controller works,so...

The wife also finds it difficult to park my 2l with Rs 7`s on, so power steering is going on, i got rid of the fan to save my 5 BHP and fitted an elecy one,so far i haven`t had use for the electric fan!

<r>I gave up on my 1.6 laser about three years ago,then i pined non stop for a replacement,thats why i`ve got another not so long ago, if your heart wins and you want to give it a second chance then go to rick wood in stockport,he`ll knock it back into shape for you, i think he was a racer, i know h...

<t>I must admit that when i take the capri for a spin i actually come back with a huge grin , i can`t help but drive like a man possesed ,it now becomes a little clearer why "Kevin`s and Dwaynes" have "on a mission" stickers in their cars ,normally that mission is to find why they just got overtaken...

what you`ve described there is exactly whats happening to mine! the fuel does go back and takes about 5 turns of the pump to start pumping out, on my many 1.6`s i`ve had have always had an external fuel filter ,but on the 2.0 there isn`t one! should there be?
Thanks
Matthew
