Deltma beatiful set up i am jelous! An Mr. Administratorrrrr from cornwall thanks for that advice. I think i need to sort my life out and move to austrailia and take my 5Grand to backpack and explore forest's for a rusty old Capri and restore her back to health...i hear capri's were pretty big out there and the ford falcon mad max car which i belive was based on the Capri. Thanks for all advice given, i have learnt about my life and how i need to exchange my wife for a capri and how hard that journey will be but how worth it it is Imagine a Capri with an RS500 engine in it with a full sierra 4x4 set up on it...ooooooooooooooooooo

this is so crazy i cant believe this is so diffucult to make a descision on what to do! Imagine my state before ive had all this wounderful feedback from all you guys!! Im kinda asking for alot here i have decided and im starting to think a 200BHP Capri with at least 30MPG is not possible especially as i want to be sneaky and get around insurance but they will know straight away if there is some huge V8 stuck in it! Does anybody know the limits of the 2.0 pinto engine? what would you have to do to get it to 200bhp and rough costs of wacking a turbo on it? ahhhhhhhhhhhh once again thanks for all this help! you have been most kind

actually i just thought! Im looking for around a 6.5-7 sec 0-60 time and apparantly the 2.8i is 160bhp as standard and does 0-60 in 7.8secs AHHHHHHHHH what to do!! I know this is just too greedy but i need at least 30mpg from this future beast is this all possible? AHHHHH my head just wants to explode! can someone just give me a brief breakdown of a direction that i should follow eg. EXAMPLE 1.Buy 2.0 capri shell - £1500 2.Buy YB 2.0 16v cossie engine - 3.Buy....sky hooks? 4.Pay for fitting - £1000? Total = etc. or Example2 1.Buy 2.8i - £3000 2.Tune up to fookery stage 2 tuning by ______________- £2000 3. Enjoy sex on wheels Total - £5000 AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH --------

oh yeah TrevMk3 i am looking to have 5 maybe 6 grand to spend in total for car and extra's. What would you advise to do as in which car to buy initially and what direction to follow?

absolutly spot on guys! Thanks for all advice given i now have some very interesting idea's in my head! LONG LIVE THE CAPRI!!! Once again thankyou.I will post some kind of update to let you know which direction i have taken incase anyone is interested. Cheers, Simon.

Hi fortunatly in a few months i will be running into some money and i cant wait. I used to have a capri and now i really want another one. Basically i am looking for a capri that produces 200-250BHP and i am so confused to which direction to take.... buy a 2.8 get it rebuilt and nicely tuned up, buy a 2.0 and do the same or get an engine conversion with somethin a little newer like a black top ford engine 170bhp and tune that up??? I havent got a clue where to go or what to do but i need the end product to be a 200-250bhp Carpri please help me!! Thanks for any help guys!!
