Hello.

Thought id post up about my car.
Its a 1971 2000GT XLR. There isnt much left of the original car. I have replaced the old V4 with a 6.2lt Ford V8 and an auto gearbox. Ford 9 inch diff. The brakes are from a Ford falcon (ozy car). Four point cage, fixed back seats. Engine makes around 500hp. Car has run a 10.3 @ 129.6mph down the 1/4 mile. Let me know what u think.
Im keen to do some suspension upgrades. Coilover front, tension bars. Any one done this here?

 

Nice car, like the mk1 and mk2 myself, even love the old V4, had one in me corsair 2000E.
I don't know about the wheel style though, never had a capri myself so not done much work on them, only a mk3 TT one, that was a complete dog of a car!!

I would agree about the wheels, they almost look too big?

 

Lovely car , wheels are different , a good thing IMO

 

get it slammed

 

lovely car mate!!

 

Thanks for the comments. The rims are only 16/7's. I guess they look bigger in the picture. Here are a few more pics.

 

Does anyone do some track days in there capri's? What suspension setups are best?

 

Nice capri,

are you in queensland

 

stunning capri and love the colour aswell

 

very nice capri mate i love the old stuff and that color is stunning

 

A nice bit of kit you got there mate, are the capris rare in oz?

 

No mate, im in Perth.

Thanks for the replys. Mk1 Capri's were sold over here so there are a few around. Although they are getting alot harder to find in decent condition. And for resonable money!

The colour is Suzuki Kashmir blue. From new swift's grand vitara's ect.

Cheers

Could never afford a Perana so chucked a Rover in mine
I'll be using your pics as inspiration to get mine back on the road
Nice motor

 

Very nice.What times is it running over the quarter?

 

It runs 10.3's @ 129mph with full exhaust, pump fuel, full interior ect. Just some slicks and front runners.
Then gets driven home.

 

Who makes those adjustable strut tops mate?
