Title: So I sold the Capri and bought another B6T
Post by: icurunnin on February 10, 2010, 03:13:00 PM
Finally sold the Capri and found something to quickly replace it with.

It has a lot of miles (254k before the speedo cable broke) but as you can see it has been well kept. Got a decent deal on it seeing as it needs new 1st and 2nd gear syncros and a clutch.

He also threw in a brand new set of ground control coilovers with eibach springs and some old school RRE hood vents that they use to make for the 323 GTX a while back.

Here it is in the crappy cloudy weather we had today.

It was on eBay 4 times and I was local so I bought it at a great price.

SWEET !
I love that Profec B and turbo timer.  I've never heard of those things.  What do they do ?

Also, what is that corkscrew intercooler upgrade you took the picture of ?

Those cars are non-existent in the North.  Looks like the Texas weather did this one some good.

Good luck Dude.  Looks great.

Thanks Matt.
I am going to try and pull the computer and see what it's running. I am very happy with your tune so I will be running it on this little beast. I need to find out what injectors I am running though so it doesn't effect your tune any.

Gotta love that AWD!  Hurry up and get that tranny rebuilt while I'm replacing the clutch on the Capri, so we can run these babies!  I'm loving the Capri, by the way!  Have fun!

It's coming soon so get my xr2 ready for it. Remember one race on dry pavement from a roll so I have a chance and one on wet so i don't grenade the newly rebuilt tranny.

that pile of crap you took off will make it go faster just from the weight loss itself!
