The Ford Capri Laser Page

Ive seen the bmw e34 headlapms on the capri

Is this swap beneficial? and what do you have to do , and changing of connections fittings etc?

Well, you want to use engine lacquer, which you can get at most motor centres.

i dont think theres a great deal of difference in quality brand wise though. its about £5 for a small pot, and you wont use much of it atall.

if your replacing with a 1.6laser you can keep the gearbox, keep the axle, infact the 1.6axle (in my opinion) is better on a 2.0, gives you quicker acceleration, but less top speed. then you need to change the clutch to a 2.0 clutch and get a twin choke weber 32/36 carb. But if you bought a 2.0pinto...

Somewhere near northants would be good, dont mind travelling an hour or so but closer the better

cheers for the help there

think ill have a look for some new inserts then

having no luck on ebay

I want to upgrade my fron struts on my 2.0laser

any suggestions on which route to take?

im considering getting the 2.8i bilstein struts

some advice on this would be great

cheers

hi cheers for the replies

I do have some, but the bolts sheared off. so i think im going to take the advice and bond them on.

not up for paying hundreds for some new ones! hah

front ones for the wings both sides

and rear ones both sides

Thanks for your posts.

Need one for my pinto. which is the best make to go for?

are there differences in performance if you go for cheaper ones?

i pulled the carpets up and the sound proof mats below the carpet were rotten. anyone know where you can get replacements or a suitable material to make some with?

as above. performance exhaust manifold to fit a mk3 capri. Its going to go onto a standard exhaust system for the meantime, so it must fit onto that, or be easily adapted.

based in northamptonshire.

i suppose being 17 i actually qualify as a modern boy racer

... just with a cooler car

cheers. thats all good news. i prefer speed off the line

I have a 1.6laser.

Ive nearly finished a full rebuild of a 2.0pinto which is going into it.

Ive heard that having the 2.0 litre engine but remaining with the 1.6gearbox and axle is a good thing.

whys that?

and also are there any other benefits/cons i will get from this.

regards

thankyou

I need a new thermostat. I have a choice of 82degrees, 88degree and 92degree.

which one is best for a standard pinto 2.0?

thanks very much for the help there

I think i will remove them and get some coloured bulbs.

I removed the clock unit (as in with the speedo, revs, fuel gage etc) in my capri today and when doing it, one of the blue plastic 'bulb casing' things broke dont know what they are called, just can explain that they are like opaque blue bulb covers behind the clocks themselves. the question is what...
