RETRO_AL Posted June 22, 2007 Report Posted June 22, 2007 How much are they? might be good on the track for a bit extra grip on the rear could anyone photoshop one on mine please
4parajon Posted June 22, 2007 Report Posted June 22, 2007 Dont know where Baz got his from Al but I know the Capri Club still make them as its off a mk1 Capri, should fit yours though as I think the boot lids were the same. You dont have to be a member of CCI to buy stuff off them either, here's the number mate Telephone: 01386 860860
andypipe Posted June 22, 2007 Report Posted June 22, 2007 Want one NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Twinkle Posted June 22, 2007 Report Posted June 22, 2007 i had a chat to baz about it and it was by old ford autos looks the nuts, was moulded off a proper escort one, not a remodelled capri one
Retromotorsport Posted June 22, 2007 Report Posted June 22, 2007 Want one NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your birthday was wednesday.. you'll have to wait till next year

johnny_h Posted June 22, 2007 Report Posted June 22, 2007 It's not a MK1 capri duck tail. It's a proper MK1 escort one along with the chin spoiler. So big baz tells me. I think it is cool. well done to baz for breaking the mould.
Retromotorsport Posted June 22, 2007 Report Posted June 22, 2007 well done to baz for breaking the mould. well thats the end of that then.. fancy breaking the mould so no others can be made
Stu_B Posted June 22, 2007 Report Posted June 22, 2007 well done to baz for breaking the mould. well thats the end of that then.. fancy breaking the mould so no others can be made PMSL!! ....but I don't like it. Fair shout for being different though!
RETRO_AL Posted June 22, 2007 Author Report Posted June 22, 2007 i would have thought down the quarter mile that spoiler would slow you down more than anything?surly its better on a track car? i like it tho
4parajon Posted June 22, 2007 Report Posted June 22, 2007 Wonder what the difference (if any) there is between the Capri one and an Escort then as I thought the boot lids were the same for both????
Rick Posted June 22, 2007 Report Posted June 22, 2007 dont do it al. is it worth spoiling a good looking car for a few microseconds??
Arched Escy Posted June 22, 2007 Report Posted June 22, 2007 dont do it al. is it worth spoiling a good looking car for a few microseconds?? Yea Ricks right.
Jay_harrier Posted June 22, 2007 Report Posted June 22, 2007 well done to baz for breaking the mould. well thats the end of that then.. fancy breaking the mould so no others can be made I think breaking the mould would be a good thing!, doesn't look right its not likely to help with reducing rear end lift unless your doing 100 to 120mph. A front spoiler is going to be far more use as you want to close the car to ground gap so less air passes underneath - all the bits poking out underneath cause drag & turbulence. There's a few good books on the subject, "Competition Car Downforce" by Simon McBeath is not bad as it has loads of practical stuff for the DIYer & stays clear of the fluid dynamics equations!
BIGKEV Posted June 22, 2007 Report Posted June 22, 2007 if you are going to do anything then fit a rear diffuser they look the nuts
Baz. Posted June 22, 2007 Report Posted June 22, 2007 The front and rear spoilers came from a chap in Germany and they was used in the 70's for the touring cars the rear is a proper MK1 escort, NOT a capri rs3.1, , Old Ford Autos do them both Also avaiable soon will be MK1 Escort 2 door doors with hinges to fit straight onto your car, fiberglass rear bumper to match the front quarters they already do Baz www.oldfordautos.co.uk
