CapperTom Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Posted February 26, 2008 16.2 seconds at 80mph was my best the last time but that was just with the 4 branch manifold and twin webbers, but no engine work done. Ive not been with new engine but planning too after next pay day.

Ive not been with new engine but planning too after next pay day. Thats a really good time for a 2lt. My V6 only manages a 16.0. Be intresting to see what you get next time
CapperTom Posted February 27, 2008 Author Report Posted February 27, 2008 Yeah when i was up there the last time a couple of 2.8i were there and neither could get out of the 17s so i was quite pleased
Airbag Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 Yeah when i was up there the last time a couple of 2.8i were there and neither could get out of the 17s so i was quite pleased awsome I think mine must have had some work done on it, mine should be a standard 2.8i but done a 16.08.

Yeah definatly get in touch nearer the date. I'm about 30 mins drive from the Pod what about you? It is the red one, it's gonna stay red but with a satin black fibreglass bonnet, like this photoshop pic, only now it now has Camero mirrors insted of those bullet mirrors.
CapperTom Posted February 27, 2008 Author Report Posted February 27, 2008 Yeah thats going too look good, i do like red capris, colour suits the car really well. No i Live in Folkestone near Dover so on a good run im about 2 n half hours away Il def give you a shout then.
X-pack-Glyn Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 Yeah when i was up there the last time a couple of 2.8i were there and neither could get out of the 17s so i was quite pleased are you suprised? i aint!
X-pack-Glyn Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 Heres some more pics then nice attention to detail there, but dont you find it a bit slow with no HT leads?
CapperTom Posted February 27, 2008 Author Report Posted February 27, 2008 NO? Its fine, bit lumpy on start up and ruff tickover but other than that its fine Serious now, that engine pic was taken nt long after lump went in, its all sorted now wiv breathers done and dizzy etc on. No im not surprised either, lightly tuned pinto pushing out nearly as much as v6 without the weight.
Guest cortinamad-gonetoo Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 looking good what engine work have you done im planning on building a 2.0 pinto for my cortina any tips i like the red capri too
CapperTom Posted February 29, 2008 Author Report Posted February 29, 2008 Hi m8, at the mo its still 2.0 but looking at 2.1 now, its got Big valve head, ported and polished, double valve springs, piper 285 cam and vernier pulley. 4-2-1 manifold and big bore system, twin 40 webbers and 40mm trumpets. Modified distributor, 8mm silicone leads with fast road plugs but dont really see they can make much difference, lightened flywheel and a quickshift lever What you planning for yours then?
