The capri is like a new car :)

[s_j]

Well as you might know when i had the car it went as well as a 1.1 but with a bit of fiddling with the timing we got it to run alot better.

I had been saying ever since i have had it that i neeD to have it set up because it is useing loads of fuel, so yesterday i took it in to fitz at top boss performance in derby, i was shocked at how good he was with the engine (he knows his shit on these classic engines )

He had a listern to it for a while and came to the conclusion that the tappets where to tight and the carb was leaking, he stripped the carb down and it was leaking alot you could see it everwhere, he also had a look at the tappets and yes they where very tight the engine had only been running on 2 cylinders. After alot of fiddleing with tappets he got them all right and with alot of cleaning of the carb he got that back together aswell.

So the engine went back together and then he had to fit my new vernier pully, new belt and spark plugs all that done and timing set up we take it for a spin and OMG i was shoked id been so used to it how it was it now seems like a new car.

 

SO A BIG THUMBS UP TO FITZ AT TOP BOSS PERFORMANCE (HES THE MAN)

 

PICS TO COME
