Looks mint mate

Nice

 

cheers guys ive also got a cosworth but ide sooner drive the capri anyday

 

~

simple answer, cosworth engine....

into the capri

just get some lazer/2.0S engine mounts and your 99% of the way there
nice car there

 

Yup, a 2.0L crossmember,Auntie Ford has already drilled the holes for the different mounting of the crossmember Cossie Capri is what i'm building at the mo

 

how much approx does it cost to get from a std 2.0 to a cossie powered beast (can pm me if you want lol) i was just thinking, i can do all the labour myself.... and it would be a pure lairy BEAST when its done!
just know cossie engines dont come cheap

 

Well it's taken me a few years to get my bits together, but i'm builidng virtually from scratch,here's a link to the project i'm doing ....

Sadly though, I think I gotta strip the engine down before I get it running,as I think the head has been skimmed below 136.7 mm and seeing as i'm running BD 10's I could end up with pistons kissing valves

LOL i'd hate to add up how much it's cost me over the years lol

 

lolol!
niiice project, any tips for what brake conversions can be done on the capri???
on a short run (30-40minutes) ive been having problems with the std brakes gettin so hot they glow bright red for about 5minutes until they cool down naturally....
looks cool, generally not too good!

also can you take the brake shroud off the inside of the front brake disks, or is this to protect stuff behind the caliper itsself and deffo needed??

 

that one on ebay looks good but 8 grand though

 

Nah Just take the shroud off,it's what you have to do to put 2.8i vented discs on a 1.6L or 2.0L. You could try Caprisport's setup,it's what i'm doing. Give Neil a shout and ask him bout his conversion, you can put 280mm discs on with his setup,under 15 inch rims

The setup i'm going to be using,uses his modified hubs,so the disc sits at the front of the hub,not the back,using I think either a Sierra or Escort Disc. RS Turbo S2 calipers,2.0L capri servo and Land Rover master cylinder. And rear disc conversion also using Sierra Bias valve,so I don't lock the rear end up.

 

thats great!
well thats coming off asap lol!
well keep me updated on how the conversion goes and how much+how well it works, these brakes are shoddy at the best of times
