Capri18

Evening all, just researching some stuff on suspension. I've got 2.8 Bilstein front legs on my capri, but i fancie upgrading them, so i've been looking at getting either some 260/60 or 300/70 inserts, now their Group 4 fitments. What's the difference between group 4 and the capri legs? If i.m right the diameter of the insert as it goes into the top mount is larger, but is that all? Thanks

Jay ps where are you getting these picture from? there all taken in the same scrap yard, Micheal Douglas's in Carlisle that mk2 cortina is the one i was talking about. The transit camper is in the "walled off area" which means you cat get in to rob parts from it

NO WAY thats my local scrap yard!! If anyone want the kit or car i can make enquires/ see if its still their. The mk1 capri next to it was in alright condition when i first saw it but now its in a bit of a state. Further up the row their is also a mk2 cortina

Don't worry he fell off a good few times doing some of them, i've seen him about edinburgh a couple of times, a lad on my course goes out riding with him.

just added everyone and it took agggggeeeeees treflipthegap@hotmail.com thats mine btw

Are the front dampers in good nick? Sometime a shagged damper can cause the car to dive about under braking

Hi all, I just fitted a set of harnesses to my Capri and old pops reckons it will mean I'll get pulled over by the police more often since it might look like I'm not wearing my seatbelt. Does anyone know the requirements for having harnesses? For instance do I need to still have the standard seatbelt in place and make up some separate mounting points? Just want to make sure everything is legal in case i do get pulled. Thanks

good job i checked the fourm just now, i had complely forgot about this meet....luckily i dont have any jobs on so il see you guys there

Picture time

Agreed they dont picture too well, here one of mine right after it was painted

I have to agree Rosso Red for the win!

my votes in.....i went for that sweeeeeet black MX5........ Only kidding the Escort got my vote

Happy Birthday dude, hope you have a good one

Cheers I'll keep that in mind, the kit form it is especially with delivery time like that....the only downside is that it means i wont be able to go out this month i bet the government would be thrilled to hear what i'm spending my student loan on

Well I went to set the point gap before on the car and now il be buggered if i can get it to start again! So i've decided to Megajolt it this month, looking at ordering the stuff tonight, just wondering if i should go for the kit of the ready built item? I can solder but i've not done anything major like that before, has anyone had any experience with the kit version before? ta

I pm'd Posse about access a while ago too but i never heard anything? I'll be paying a sub this year too if it helps matters

But did it beat my record time of half an hour to defrost the other morning just realised your car is actually whiter than the snow

220 miles from Gretna to Aberdeen, she never missed a beat and only ued a shade over a quarter of a tank....no idea how thought as its never been able to do that mpg since

One word.....EPIC

This one so far, but i'll have to get some snow action shots

Bike Carbs + Megajolt Convert my bilstein strunts to coilovers Roller top mounts Fit my LSD Make a proper A frame kit BMW headlights Fix and fit my fibreglass Turbo tail hopefully an engine swap in the summer....if i can get something cheap enough

Mines XRtwo.....well its my flatmates, mine ran out last month and i'm to tight to pay the £40 till next month

Lucky! What were you doing....i bet i was fun

I'l be wanting one two please
