The Ford Capri Laser Page

3M double sided tape under the saggy bits? that should help, Im not sure if it hold up against the heat but worth a try. make sure theres no grerase etc first.

Thanks Nige!

I know thats what Coc should look like, but i dont think it will this year im affraid, next year though, hopefully she'l be all done!

I can't commit to the show this year, Ive just got far too much on me plate, wedding planning being a big one!

Afternoon everyone, its been a long time since ive been on here, but im happy to say the capri resto is now beginning again :D while shes been sat there more things have rusted away :roll: the leaf spring hanger sections (front) have rotted into nothing, i can get my whole hand in there :o I know CC...

good atempt tho! Hopefully be getting on with mine in the next couple of weeks, ive been capriless for far too long!

Good stuff! It should go on without any problems, keep the spacer block from underneath your current carb. The 38dgas has two idle mixture screws rather than just the one. When setting your mixture just make sure you move BOTH screws and by the same amount. Also make sure your adjusting them both in...

As Peter said, emulsion tues = F50's, Air Correctors = 185's. Float/needle valve = 2.50. make sure the float height is correct too!

congrats! its looking good and sounds good too! you might want to look at your vac signal to the BOV- its either too weak or pulsing. you could put a weaker spring in the BOV but you may risk it not holding shut under boost. or you might need to get a stronger non pulsing vac signal- or a combinatio...

you say youve swapped startes but its still the same, so to me it sounds like for some reason youve got a tight spot- wehther it be on the crank journals/ bearings, cam shaft or front pulleys or something like that. maybe remove all the plus and turn it over by hand, see if you can feel it tightenin...

Next time it goes click click, turn the engine over by hand a little then see if it goes click click again. not sure what the problem cound be really as you have ruled out most electrical parts.....

Hey Tom good news on getting her back on the road! mines still in the garage in bits :( :( sounds like yours might b timed a bit too advanced? it was interesting how you said that when there was no fuel getting into the chambers, it turned over fine. but when you try and start it normally it struggl...

I have a heater matrix for sale. has been filled with water and does not leak. the pipes are free from cracks and in good condition. http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c275/Nat-Capri/2011-11-06114623.jpg http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c275/Nat-Capri/2011-11-06114630.jpg say £10 +P&P PM if your...

A set of original laser alloys with the original center caps. Tyres are NO GOOD. They are cracked and deformed! I might be able to put on a small pallet and you could arrange a courier to collect. These were rubbed down and painted about 10 years ago. have sat in a shed for the last 6 years. could d...

Iv found some pieces of Leather from an old set of recaros I had. I must have had this lot left over from refurbing my own seats. Theres two bases, one has small burns. The other looks fine. Both have the foam with them. Theres two lower left seat pieces (has foam included) and two lower right piece...

Ive had a bit of a clear out. I cant remember if these are S seats? both front seats recline and tilt properly. runners are included. Drivers bolster is showing signs of wear but isnt too bad. The lower foam has collapsed and would ideally be replaced (not too difficult to do). The rear seat are all...

Hey ive just recently changed the keeper address on mine and it came back with red on the front. plus i think our other two cars last year came with red fronts.. couldnt tell you the inside colours though!

can you post up a piccy?

vacuum advance gives you better economy. on a run (like cruising on a motorway) the throttle is only open a little bit and vacuum in the manifold is high. if the ignition timing is advanced during this time fuel economy is increased. the vacuum advance dizzy allow this to happen. if removed your eco...

Iv always found that capri wipers are slow. i thinks its the gear ratios that ford used...

the capris fastest is most cars slowest

Keep up the good work, youl get there in the end. Yes i do run dump valves, the non recirculating type, i didnt want to dump all the hot compressed air back into the charger, it already gets hot enough! In fact i had two valve side by side and they still arent enough to prevent the charger from stal...
