Kai, I happen to share your love of the Capri... reminds me of a mix of the Mk2 Supra, 240Z. I've always liked the idea of a Legacy Wagon with a swap of some sort... Nobody suspect's grandpa's car can haul ass. ;)

So... this makes you what, 29 this year? My dad keeps saying that, I'm about to hit it myself soon enough, but it keeps him feeling young, so... yeah. Happy birthday man. :)

Does a "new" part count if it's a one-off and pretty cool? If so I might have something sitting upstairs...

My biggest concern with these cars is critical speed... If strength were my concern, I've seen stockers hold up just fine in 600-700hp applications just fine.

Did my taxes in about 30 minutes last night, gonna get ~$690 back, which will go to paying off the hood and rent for the month I guess.

There's a guy in Detroit who makes a kit to swap in Chevy v8's into Fieros... I looked into that a LONG time ago. Archie comes to mind, I believe that was the name of the company... I've seen ONE F40 my whole life. Probably my only 'lottery' car in my eyes. Good to see I'm not the only one...

Hey, a stock n/a *could* do 130+, just not on flat ground. ;) There's a hill about 70 miles from me that has quite a grade to it though... Think I had mine up to ~5000rpm or 5500 in 4th on the auto, 4.30 rear. Again, steep steep hill, straight as can be, and about 3 miles to the bottom. Stock...

I'll fab up a panel to cover it up then. Yay skid plates! :D

Same problem I had on my 88. Exact same problem. :)

Wish I had the space to say bring it with you guys and sell it to me, but I'm looking to buy a house here sometime in the near enough future... As for mine, I need to try and get my w2 info from Home Depot for this last year... I'll update when I find out. :)

Makes sense, it's like the people who could beat those old NES games back in the day...

Done a bit of research since then and came to the same conclusion myself. Almost wish they had a .7x a/r for this turbo though... Got a few minutes? ;)

I was wondering about the extra connector on the alternator as well... I hate to say it, but I almost like the arrangement (alignment) of the tail lights. At least, I've seen worse...

IJ, I believe that it's Titan that makes the CF driveshafts for our cars. Not really cheap, but not out of the question either. Viable, safe replacement? Heard anything about them? This could be a post of ignorance speaking here, but I figure this is as good a place to ask as any...

Makes me wonder just WHY these people are so good. I'm good in a real car, the feedback (or lack there of) kills me on games.

If you guys wanna meet up, you'll wanna probably PM me for fastest response. SLC is just a hop skip and jump away for me, it's only about 2-2.5 hours depending on how far in we go. Anyone gonna be attending ALMS (American Le Mans Series) later this year? I went last summer, and had a blast...

I would hope they're more comfortable... I always thought Mk3 Recaros were really hard.

I always thought it was supposed to be Duke Nukem in a suit, sans sunglasses...

Yes. Wheels are Nissan, complete with Nissan logo center caps. I think I just threw up a little... Nice tires on the front it looks like they might be NT05's if I'm not mistaken. Still... no. Just... no. :nono:

...if you ran out of places to hang your BHG trophy gaskets in the garage. :p
