Gibson Posted October 24, 2009 Report Posted October 24, 2009 At least thats the plan! Ive been away from OSF for quite a while but i saw a capri the other day and remembered what i have been missing! Ive been on a pretty interesting ride the 3 or so years ive been away and had a few interesting rides including but not only Mazda MX5 1.8iS Supra 3.0 NA manual 95' M3 3.0. Skyline GTS-T 2.5 turbo Now the Skyline is up for sale for £2000 and im now officially addicted to boost... when that goes i have a bit of a shopping list. hopefully it will be obviously what im planning... If anyone can help me source these things i would be very gratefull -Mk3 Capri, Solid but tatty, preferably with a blown up engine for cheapz. -Rover V8 turbo manifolds (who would make such a thing) -Matching pair of turbos from a couple of 2.0ish cars. im thinking nissan 200sx/volvo/mr2 turbo jobbies. -Megasquirt or similar that will operate 8 injectors (im really not so sure about this part of the build) -somone who can tig weld, need to cut 2 rover v8 3.9 top plenum chambers in half and weld them back together to make a twin entry plenum chamber.. Any one?
