My Mk2 3.0 JPS

[danny69]

This is my JPS Capri, standard and original interior but with tuned engine, suspension mods, revos and a front spoiler which wasn`t available until a year later.

Hope you like.

Cheers Guys

I couldn`t have a mk 2 without the fibreglass "S" front spoiler, they just look naked. IMHO

The engine bay shot was taken by a professional (Nick Simmonds) up at North Weald drag strip. If you notice he even photoshopped out the bonnet stay!!

While everyone else with a capri was down at bromley Pageant I went up to North Weald to give it another go on the 1/4 mile last Sunday.

I have now wired an Omex launch rev limiter into the handbrake so I can hold the revs steady at 3800 until I release the handbrake and then I have got up to 6400 until I hit the upper limiter.

I also found a bit more power by adjusting the timing from 13 BTDC to 10 degrees BTDC. The upshot is that I managed to run 3x 15.3 second passes at 92 mph which is not only consistant but pretty quick too. Just another 0.4 to find to dip into the 14`s!! Not sure how I am going to find that though, as I won`t be taking out any of the interior.

 

Below is a phone vid of me warming the tyres at the May meeting.
