    Clark has already established (in another thread) that he has turned pro off road on us. We might need plan "B"

    I know ... There is three feet of snow in front of the garage door now so it isn't coming out any time soon. I will NOT be ready for the opener with the new fuel injection system, so this could even wait until after you all get going. I'll give you fair warning ;)

    If you guys need help, just yell. I'm in for the run down south ;)

    The more I dig, the worse this mess gets. Should of titled this thread building a new Capri this winter instead of winter upgrades. I've had some of this around a while, but just dug everything out to make sure I have all the parts, clean paint, etc ...

    This car always has been a mutt. The front k-member and a-arms and such are all Mustang SVO. These are heavy forged control arms with a different geometry built into the k-member plus a much wider track.

    Got a set of normal 87/93 A-arms plus a set of Steeda forward offset bushings. Those will fix the geometry from the k-member. Also 88 TC Spindles, coil over kit, caster / camber plates, stainless caliper bushings, new ball joints, etc. I am planning to keep my Koni (not SVO) front struts, they seem to work pretty well.



    End result will knock a little weight off the nose, get rid of the SVO arms and the ball joint issue, but more important pull the wheels in 1 1/4" a side so I can drop the front end. Not as nice as tubular stuff, but I'm not sold on the coil over and want the option of going back to my Eibach launch springs if I want.

    Got some wrenching done over the last few days. New t'stat, changed all the pullies, timing belt, tensioner, installed Croke's timing pointer ...







    Kind of odd to have two adjustable pullies and to be naked up front ...

    It's all perspective on the turbo size. It is a TO4E50 compressor, so it's not exactly small, but looks huge next to the 'lil motor :D

    I'm not much on show and shine, but am trying to clean things up a bit ;)

    It just evolves, grows and mutates. I have 10 other things I want to do now, just not going to happen.

    In the pics, you can see I took off the turbine heat shield. I used that because of the internal gate set-up, but now have one of these on route ...

    Seems I'm going through a red phase

    HAHAH Yeah. I only really have 2 more things to do here. Most importantly is my tune which I am shooting for next Friday. Second is my Eaton carrier. While doing that I am throwing on my Ford Racing cover/girdle. Then wash the shit out of this thing. My wife keeps writing on my windshield. HAHAHAH
