Post by: Yuri on October 11, 2009, 05:45:00 AM: pfft, mine's been slipping for 3 years
Title: Deep South Capri Meet - Oct. 31st!!!!
Post by: icurunnin on October 11, 2009, 07:25:00 AM: I want to be able to have fun on the way there and a slipping clutch would hinder that from happening.

Title: Deep South Capri Meet - Oct. 31st!!!!
Post by: CapriTypeR on October 12, 2009, 02:30:00 PM: That's my point! I'll bring a new clutch with me, and after Rocket destroys the current one in the burnout contest, he can swap them out! :cool:
Title: Deep South Capri Meet - Oct. 31st!!!!
Post by: Heavensheros on October 12, 2009, 03:10:00 PM: he burnt it out big time when me and him raced
Title: Deep South Capri Meet - Oct. 31st!!!!
Post by: icurunnin on October 13, 2009, 12:51:00 AM: well in that case Rocket can throw mine in the burn out contest as well. I will bring my clutch kit and some tools. (http://graemlins/big-wink.gif)

Title: Deep South Capri Meet - Oct. 31st!!!!
Post by: icurunnin on October 18, 2009, 01:34:00 PM: Hey Matt you know you have a impulse that could use some attention.........

found a GTX local for $2800 with a balanced and blueprinted engine, upgraded turbo, front mount, and all paperwork. Tempting at the moment
Title: Deep South Capri Meet - Oct. 31st!!!!
Post by: Rocketman on October 18, 2009, 02:18:00 PM: Yeah I know I need to work on it... I will probably throw a couple hours into it this week. We're supposed to have a heatwave this week in the low 60's which is a lot better than unseasonal snow

I think I saw that GTX FS somewhere...sounds like a good deal. What shape is the transmission?

Post by: icurunnin on October 19, 2009, 12:58:00 AM: the weather here has been great!! clear sky's and 70. The wife and I went and drove the capri around for about an hour just to enjoy the weather.

From what the seller told me the tranny is perfect and does not grind or have any issues. He just put a new clutch in it and he bought it from the original owner who actually turned out to be the one doing the mods.

He said he has all the paperwork to it and that its on its 3rd built motor (kinda scary huh?) and that it runs like a top. I seen it on the street one day and he was haulin balls in it to pass some people and hop on the highway. I chased him down and followed him to the gas station just to see if it was the one for sale and sure enough it was.

The a/c was ice cold and the only thing I seen wrong with it other than a gay narrowband air/fuel gauge, was it had a oil leak somewhere that was hitting the exhaust and causing it to smoke at the back of the engine. He said it was the oil sending unit but didnt seem to knowledgable about the car besides being "built".

said it lays down 250 awhp at 14 psi. I was curious to know what ecm or tune he was running.

Post by: Yuri on October 19, 2009, 03:41:00 AM: Matt, if u want you can come out to my place... i have spare bedroom that needs to be occupied. Also could use your help with my Buick and figuring out why my Capri burns a quart per month, i think my turbo is dying.

Post by: Phillip on October 19, 2009, 06:38:00 AM: "only thing I seen wrong with it other than a gay narrowband air/fuel gauge,"

How did you know it was "Gay"? Did it offer to take you in back and give some lip service?

Post by: drbob on October 19, 2009, 07:05:00 AM: Did it have rainbows and unicorns?
Title: Deep South Capri Meet - Oct. 31st!!!!
Post by: icurunnin on October 19, 2009, 02:56:00 PM: actually drbob the narrowband does have a bunch of "gay" rainbow colors. so it does fit the "gay narrowband" profile (http://graemlins/oh.gif)
