A few Capri Pics

Since I'm bored tonight, I thought I would throw up a few Capri pictures with this years combo, Appearance wise, it got a new glass hood, and I changed everything under the rear of the car to get a little more tire (and pro-stars)  ;) Car is washed, waxed, and ready ot race. Unfortunately, it rained out last weekend, and it's not looking good for this one ;)









Alsoo got the car ready for the next round of upgrades. Car is officially tied together as best I can make it, and still be a street car.



I love the Maximum Motorsports bar, took the door bars out, and I've driven it to work every day this week.

That car MOVES!!
Likes to eat turbos though huh bob? I still got that picture of the turbo you toasted last year when I was at the track. That thing launched pretty good then, looks to me like it will launch even better now!

Its an 84, original RS Turbo car. 84 was the last year for turbo's in the Capri's.

That problem is solved ;) It should hook a little better now, we will see if the weather either holds off, or moves through, for this weekend. Should be able to launch with about 500 more RPM and hook it :D

God to hear that thing hit the rev limiter is a sound to hear!! This summer you will see me at the track, in my 66, gonna throw in the subframes, my lincolns wheels and tires, new gears, the 4 speed, and see what I can run in it! Might get a few runs of the lincoln to see what it does with the AOD as opposed to the T-5 i will be putting in!

I stop in here every now and then, not as much as I used to. I must have been subscribed to this thread to get the notification ;)

Good to hear you are in the area. For sure give me a yell when warm weather rolls around. I'm at the track most every TnT wether I run or just hang out. I've cut way back on the local race days as I've been trying to get to as many NMRA, UMTR, and various Ford races as I can make. Still get out there to race maybe two weekends a month anyway :D

Here is a "pictre of a picture" from Columbus....



And a snip from a video ...



The Capri is getting "done" so I picked up another project ...

Hi Bob, I didn't realize you where here as well. Are you going to make that lil' wagon as radical as the Capri? That thing is just awsome! Do you know if the mag. came out yet that covered it? I'm not sure which Mustang mag it was but they took pics. of my bird in the show and I'm really hoping it get in.

I'm not sure, I talked with the guy from 5.0 and Super Fords for a while , and know MM&FF was there. The mags with columbus coverage have been coming out but I've not seen anything yet.
