spec list and a few more pics (before the wheel spacers went on the front, so looks a bit knock knee'ed!)
So the spec reads:
mk1 prefacelift 72 capri 1600xl (tax exempt)
Fibreglass wings
arches
bonnet
bootlid
front valance
Lots of lightening, including acrylic windows, and a swiss cheesed interior
single sparco bucket seat (looking for another)
autometer gauges
rover v8:
overbored 20thou
high compression pistons
viper typhoon cam
rhoads lifters
steel timing gears
arp bolts/studs everywhere
sd1 oil pump, non stick relief valve
polished lifter gallery
heads ported by me, valve guides shortened by me
tlr 50 valve springs (1 less coil)
standard intake milled off and fitted with 32/36 dgav carb
K&N filter
manual 4 speed capri gearbox (3 litre)
10.5 inch mcloed clutch
soon to be 300bhp nitrous kit (currently 75) with fred controller
4ha rear axle from reliant scimitar on standard leaf springs and shocks from 1600xl
slap bars
open diff, soon to have v12 jag LSD
front 2.8i struts, 1600 springs with 1 coil removed, rear has 2" lowering blocks
spare wheel well removed
carter 92 GPH fuel pump
various stainless exhausts
raceway draglite wheels, 10x15 and 8x15, part worn 265x50x15 rears, 225x50x15 fronts
it runs and always has (despite the engine being buggered!) 13.6@112
that was with 170bhp ATF (makes 220 at the wheels once the engine has a new cam etc!) and a single direct 75bhp hit of nitrous
thats most of it!
