4parajon Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 As yesterday I picked up the Capri from Neils @ NTS. We (my mate Mark came with me for emotional support )got the train from Mcr @ 6.50am to Reading at 10.15am and was met at the station by Neil in his 3door Cossie and P.I.G. driving my capri along with his nice new boyfriend Mike aka Blazin Boxxer And we all shot down to Brands Hatch to take in the track day, shame it was let down by the weather really which had a knock on effect with the amount of cars on the track. We had a good day out though and its always good to catch up with mates who you dont get to see as often as you'd like. Was good to meet a couple of new peeps as well, Daggle & JohnnyH As for the Capri.....well....its simply stunningly fast. Simple as that really, I will get a few engine bay piccies tomoz but James from Grace Engines has done a top job for me, only wish I'd got my first engine done by him. Will also up-date my resto thread with the new spec' tomoz. Did just short of 400miles in it yesterday and my face is still numb from all the grinning after driving it Here's a couple of pics of the car with its new pimpin wheels from Brands Big thanks to Neil, P.I.G and Boxxer for providing another good day out
MR "S" Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 LOOKS REALLY GOOD,TOP NOTCH. LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING SOME MORE PICS. P.S. WHAT SIZE WHEELS/RUBBER HAVE YOU GOT ON THERE??
MK2Ed Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 Yep, very nice... A few engine bay pics with spec would be interesting... And good scene setting with the story...
Slik 50 Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 Looks real nice mate, A bit different to the last time I saw it
DEP Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 Nice one Jon, i can just imagine you smiling all the way home , So how much you got to play with now then?
4parajon Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Posted March 11, 2008 Nice one Jon, i can just imagine you smiling all the way home , So how much you got to play with now then? It will be slightly more than I bargained for, James the engine builder reckons it has the potential to run @ 450bhp when mapped. I wont be running it that high though as I want it to run and run and run and run......and run some more Besides, other than a slipper thats fitted in the Ford Mustang 8" rear axle it will be running on good old fashioned cart springs and an axle location kit and polybushed. I only ever wanted a reliable 350bhp anyway Wheels & tyres are Borbet alloys with 195/45/15 fronts and 205/45/15 rears. Anyone seen this rim on a Ford before??? as I havent, but I fell in love with 'em as soon as I saw them Thanks for the nice comments
PIG Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 not bad ,i was surprised how quick this car is tbh guys,i drove it when it was standard with a fooked t3 on it it really was'nt pleasent.had a good yesterday and by fook it goes well .so different from mine as it has carpets etc,really does drive nice and you could very easily drive this car every day of the week as it dont rattle,drone etc.very nice car you have yourself jon
