I made adapter brackets, made 5 pair and sold the rest, think were some for sale on here.

now sitting on 15s, nice cossy callipers up front to help stop the brute..

Cheers for the comms, the fast road na spec was just tame enough to handle some boost, any more cam duration and the boost would be out the exhaust. Must get it built up again as the block was cracked. Balls!

more power, supercharger install

Hi. does anyone on here make adaptor brackets to mount 2wd cossie calipers on a capri/mk2 escort strut? using a 285mm disc from rally design. Cheers!

Anyone know from experience whats the longest stud that can be put in an atlas axle without taking apart ie removing rear brakes or half shafts and the like... (or is it easy to put 20mm longer studs in?) The Cobra slots Im fitting have a very thick face which leaves nothing for the nut to grip, the wheel is held on by the thin sleeve part of the nut and not the nut itself, dodgy at least! need a 10mm spacer too maybe to get the right look. Thanks in advance!

I think so too... the individual ones were £20, pipercross blank and filter £120

Aye they flow badly Now sorted.

First spin done... waow it really flies! Running way way too rich so is really boggy, will fly even more when I get the fuelling sorted.. Them filters are shite tho... 20% more power with them off.

Zx9r carbs.... They seem to work well in the garage that has my bros car parked outside and went on hols with his keys in his pocket... so, no driving yet!!! rage

Just finished my YB install.. Thanks to everyone on here for help along the way! Here's a few of the final pics The full engine build and install is on the link below- http://www.fordcapriforum.com/forum/vie ... e9&start=0

They should have made a modern car look like a Capri instead of making a Capri modern. A paint job would help...

This can get very expensive!! What I did didn't cost a lot but it works very well.. Dont get too hung up on wattage figures, as long as the total speaker wattage is higher than the amp output. I'm running 2800 watts worth of speakers from a 400watt amp, and it will blow your head off! It's all about the ohm rating. Buy a decent power amp (not a chinese cheapy from ebay) I got a JBL 2 channel stereo amp and stuck it in the glovebox. Wire an ignition live from a switch and wire the speakers in parallel. Most amps run at 4 ohms a side, so make sure both speakers are 8ohms then wire like this, The ones in the diagram are 4 ohms resulting in 2 ohms. Only expensive amps will run at 2 ohms. If you have 2, 4 ohm speakers you can wire in series which will flip the ohms the other way and not over load your amp Never overload the amp, it will not last long. The lower the ohm calculation the more draw there will be. Full range speakers dont need crossovers, only needed when running tweeters and bass bins.. leave that to the saxo drivers..! I just wired a 3.5mm jack to the amp so I can listen to my ipod, not a big fan of the radio but I can plug my phone in and listen to the radio that way. You can use the speaker out from your original radio (unless you have a modern radio with an unpowered signal out aux, then it will be ok) and wire to the amp, but the amps that can handle a powered signal input are expensive. Have you ever used one of those fm transmitters before? they're shit. Nothing beats a hard wired system... I wanted to leave the orginal radio as is and run the new set up separately. My orginal radio only had one speaker on the dash top anyways. A few pics Make sure all speakers are wired properly, if not they will run out of phase resulting in the bottom end cancelling out.... Good luck!

MOT was a few months ago and all was tip top, the hill is very long tho!!

The callipers and discs are brand new, no older than 12 months, they were just standard items. Fluid changed at the same time. There is a hill near where I live and when the car goes down it the brakes are non existent by the bottom, I means nothing!! And I intermittently use them so they wont heat too much.. Deffo gonna do some track daying when the YBs in too.
