1.6 capri engines

[m1c]

they only fun in wet or can they be fun in dry?

[antz]

depends how heavy your right foot is and your technique!

 

i can get my 1.3 escort to kick out in the dry but thats thrashing the living hell out of it!

Had a White LS years ago and I loved this car. 190lb -2" fronts and -1.5" blocks running 7x13's wicked round the bends,Just lacked the go.

Very Revy engine,Mine too loads of abuse,fitted 2.0l 4 branch and system,cam and carb then it went better.

Still able to smoke the tyres in the dry though.

i have fun.. well i did till the timing chain snapped .. in my 1.3 cortina and am going for a 1600 for even more fun!

also my matre reckons his 1.6 was great cause it was smaller engine so there was more room for error and fairly quick.. mind you with no motorway space fast here aint quite the same!

Gt spec 1.6 is WAY better than the normal 1.6

Just make sure you use a decent cam belt cos the valves hit the pistons on the 1.6 if it snaps

mine gets me around quite nicely

 

can kick out on corners easy (but cant hold it that well cause only one wheels spins )

 

and can do burnouts

Not on the LS though,Different engine,more like the 2000
