cyberdogK9000 Posted July 9, 2015 Report Posted July 9, 2015 Hi Brethren! Just bought myself this Capri Lazer and thought it be a good idea to join the forum, Its had- a full professional re-spray & undersealed Rebuilt 2.1 Pinto engine with reconditioned twin weber 45 carbs RS Alloys with chunky Nankang tyres Full Ashley exhaust system Mk2 Grill and Mk2 front and rear bumpers Recaro style seats with fishnet headrests UUHhh yea, that's about it. I FREAKIN LOVE IT Just needs some work on the interior and shes good as Gold Please let me know what you think! Look forward to some Old skool natter
mk2 mike Posted July 9, 2015 Report Posted July 9, 2015 Welcome mate. Car looks the business. Personally not sure on the tyres but if you like it, then it's all good! What are the future plans, if any?
PeteRS8084 Posted July 9, 2015 Report Posted July 9, 2015 Looks great, enjoy her..............but remember that a capri when given the beans will bite you in the bends.............you have been warned, enjoy and welcome. Pete
cyberdogK9000 Posted July 10, 2015 Author Report Posted July 10, 2015 Thanks for the welcome guys, I'm fresh on classic ford scene so learning things along the way I do like the look of the tyres mk2 mike but there is the issue of when ie. hitting rough ground they come into contact with the arches, will definitely consider a smaller size when it comes to replacing them. Lol I'll keep that in mind Pete, I've been told The back end will step out if given the beans! Going to replace the door speakers with some modern ones, I think they're oval 6x4's but I'll have to check. Will be wanting to get the seats re upholstered, and put in a parcel shelf as that's missing
classicwhitey Posted July 10, 2015 Report Posted July 10, 2015 the wheels you have are 7.5J (wide) you need arch mods to use them , these were used on the x pack cars back in the day. the widest wheel you can put under a standard arch is 7J. with the right offset you still get a dished look. midland wheels do re-productions
mk2 mike Posted July 10, 2015 Report Posted July 10, 2015 As above mate, if you like the look of your car, you keep those tyre. A little arch tweeking will sort it. [emoji106]
Danish Posted July 11, 2015 Report Posted July 11, 2015 Lol I'll keep that in mind Pete, I've been told The back end will step out if given the beans! Even without, mine would misbehave if one rear wheel went over a manhole in the rain.
