A friend has asked me if I knew anyone that wanted some stuff he needs shifting to make some room in his garage for his race car. 2 x Pinto manifolds for webber twin 40's £50 each 1 x 2.8 gearbox (good but no bell housing) £150 1 x 2.8 had input milled to fit behind a Vauxhall red top not sure if it will fit anything else so sold as spares £100 1 x set race cams for silver top zetec £50 1 x pinto lightened flywheel £25 1 x electronic rev limiter for a ford £50 If interested mail me on mikex1965@hotmail.com thanks for looking mike

Now I know you are joking as I own the capri that was used then. mike

I don't but would like to know when. come on dave spill the beans. mike

wot ones 4 pot or 6 pot I have both if iterested pm me. mike

Ford never fitted capris in the UK with electric mirrors, the only capri that came with electric mirrors was the tickford capri and they were not the same as the pictured ones, the pictured ones have come from a fx4 london taxi, they do have the ford logo on them, it's a simple conversion to fit and you can see clearly out of the passenger mirror unlike when people use the drivers side mirror from a lhd capri, the angle is all wrong to see from the right hand seat. mike

As Jo says I have the capri that Alfie and Kat left the square in, The one used now is a early 4 speed one that belonged to James "system11" not sure if he was a member on hear. It has the private alf (Alfie) plate on as the bbc don't like showing the proper plates,so I am told as the even asked to buy just the reg number as mine was shown when they last used it. It is on laser wheels as mine has rs 7x13 4 spokes and they thought they were laser wheels "heathens" and will have the standard red stripes not the purple ones not pink posse tut tut I know I am a tart but even I would have to remove those straight away, you will get so see a lot of the car as they will be using it for the next year at least, and that was the reason they did not use mine as they were only looking to buy one not rent one. mike http://www.hantscapriclub.co.uk/members/mike.html hears a clip when alfie bought the car http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCtCBMj8 ... re=related

see you there Dave mike

looks like I should be able to make this one. mike

Look you are only pissed about getting a ticket not the actual offence of speeding whice you should. I too have a st focus and according to my sat nav at 80 on my speedo the sat tells me I am doing 72 so for you to get caught at 88, on your speedo you must have been doing nearly a ton, so come on take it like a man, I too speed and have the tickets to prove it, but I am the one that made the choice to speed so when I get caught I pay up as it was my choice to speed no one else's. mike

2.8's only had 160 bhp in the brochure Like the 3.0 Essex had only 136bhp in the brochure... For real the 2.8 injector had 148 bhp For real the Essex lump had 145 bhp but way more torque than a Cologne 2.8. And about 200 bhp from a Cologne V6 all day long.........not even in your dreams. They are not reliable enough to handle that much power all day long. If you want real power for money Id say Pinto. If you want torque from low down go Essex V6. All I can say is my old 2.8 turbo had done 130k on its engine and that was from a kit fitted when new, so yes on that all day long. but come on look at how much it costs to get a pinto up to v6 power and even then it just sonuds like a fart, Come on smoke em you know I will shoot my load to quick at santa pod and it will all end in embarassment for me again. mike

I cant under stand why people saying pinto when with the 2.8 you get 160 bhp ,power steering, recaros, billys, and if a special a lsd as standard, it would cost over a grand to get that fitted to a pinto and thats not including the motor. and as I found out to get about 180 bhp out of a pinto I had been told it would cost between 2-4k, I don't do engine work so can only go on what I was told, so I will be getting rid of the pinto capri I got and turboing my 2.8 and that will only cost about 1500 and that gives me 200bhp all day long. So as you can tell for me 2.8. mike
