cool site mate, ive always liked capris just never owned one yet

 

nice one brother

 

Hehe cheers folks, i love my Capri, they are great cars and you should own at least one in your driving career lol. Passionford is one heck of a great site, glad to see its nice n friendly!

 

I love the Capri.

I still want one of the last 1987 Capri 280's!

Great car!!!

 

Cheers Mate, the 280's are certainly lovely cars - heres hoping you get one at some point!

 

I'm after a 2.8i for a bit of weekend fun.

Can anyone recommend a cheap and effective brake change I could do as I hear the standard brakes are useless.

Also, a mate has recommended fitting webber carbs to get better throttle response and a tad more power. Would this be worth doing?

Finally, I've also heard of a device you can fit into the fuel tank to slowly release lead into the fuel, so you can fill the car up with unleaded without any problems. A mate has used one of these devices on his Fiat X1/9 for years and says it's great.

What do you guys think?
Thanks.

 

My dad loves capri's and i've gotta say that i do like the mk1's. yum

 

First thing would be to make sure your current brake system is at its best, after that start looking at the Capri sport conversions.

Ditching the injection system has been done a few times, you need the 2.3 carb manifold and a nice carb to match would be the DGAS 38.

The reports are you lose top end power but low-end response is leaps and bounds ahead of the injection system.
