My Capri
Hey to all!
Just joined the site a few weeks ago.
Got my first Capri (1978 2000s) just before the new year.
It has had quite some work done before I got it, new wings and a respray and an engine rebuild. It was in show condition a few years back but has some very minor blistering that I'll put straight in the summer months.
Any other problems were very minor, just a few wiring gremlins.
Also fitted a manual choke to the 32/36 carb and a K&N filter for good measure.
Long live the Capri!
Craig
Thought Id update my car pics as they have disappeared.... (18/05/10)
The ebay pic
Last summer shows and 40s fitted
Winter work- Newman cam, megajolt, chromey bits.
Recent engine bay spruce up- leccy pump, Dells, Leccy fan,

Re: My Capri
Its nouveau red, a ford colour but not capri.. Those wheels are not on the car anymore have cobras on now. Not sure what the YB is pushing, need to get it on a rolling road soon.

Re: My Capri
NICEEEEEE!!!!! capri loving the turbo. massive fan of turbo's where did you get the cossie engine. just wondering and how much did you pay. would love too know how much BHP and Miles per gallon. also you found out what the 0 to 60 is in how many seconds. LOL. bet it makes people's head's turn. does it go whoosh when you change gear.

ha turbo??? where??!! thats a supercharger from a merc 230 slk..
I got the cossie on donedeal.ie, engine was 900 euro but god only knows whats been spent since the initial purchase..
When I get my new block broke in I'll get it on the rollers.
I have it set up that when cruising on part throttle its not under boost so runs efficiently on the bike carbs, I'd get approx 30-33mpg maybe more on long run.. half that when hooning about.
No wooosh i'm afraid... its plumbed back to the charger
