Well, the New England Capri and 323 meet is over. In the end, aside from myself, we had two 323 owners and three Capri owners come out. While that's only...
Hello. I own three Capri's plus 1 parts car Capri. Two running XR2's and two NA's. I have several 4wd and one AWD - other cars. My first interest here was to...
I had a 1988 BMW M6. In order to change the distributor cap, you had to remove the radiator! The E36 M3 group is similar to ours (I had one of those, too,...
I'm getting more serous about selling my GTX as I have too many projects, and as usual, too little time and money. Details and pics can be seen on my web page:...
I think in 18+ years, my GTX has been to a dealer only twice. 1st time to fix a 3rd gear syncro issue (less than 200 miles, under warrantee) And once for a...
Yes, this is a very DIY group. It's hard to find a mechanic who won't break more than they fix on this car (at least that was my experience). GTX's aren't...
Hi My experience on GTX's per say is nill...In 1980?? there abouts..my girl-friend and I traded in a Chevy Monza...you don't see those anymore on an orange...
The '88 323 manual from Mazda is much better manual the Helm manual for the Capri. Actually, a lot of the diagrams Helm used are carry-over from the Mazda...

I noticed the same thing when i started formally discussing IS300 potential. This is the only group that truly stretches the mind and doesn't have all that...
It took me for ever to get some pics but here they are. They are actually not very good pictures but I did the best I could. The only digital cam that I have...
I got two new toys over the weekend and I thought I would share. http://s148.photobucket.com/albums/s24/apptrumpet/?action=view¤t=IMG_1596.jpg ...
66-82 cc (4.0-5.0 cu-in) / 15 sec That would be at 35.6-40.5 psi. I seem to recall mine flowed a little more than that when I measured them. MT ... ...
I've just installed a new fully rebuilt B6T in my GTX. It runs really well and pulls hard. I only have 2 problems: 1- It is hard to start. When it has been...
About the bog-surge issue on the freeway, I have a leak in my brake booster which causes the engine to freak out like this. It only does it under vacuum, never...
My fuel pump runs when ever the key is on, or at least after the key gets turned on for a second or so. Bog-surge...are you getting a CEL while the car is...
That intercooler is SWEET ASS!!! Is that a 4" core? About the BOV, that thing is going to be loud. My friend had one on his 10ani. rx7 and liked it. You...
Thanks, the BOV is a a Go Fast Bits 1003 Hybrid. I bought a WRX hybrid for my Girl's stock '02 WRX wagon and I love the sound. Can't wait to hear what it...
Dumb question I am sure but... What are some tell tail signs that your turbo is shot? I am getting a good amount of blow through. Nothing all that alarming....
3 usual signs your turbo is gone, you have no boost at all, you have a James Bond cloud of smoke behind you, and/or you have a horrible shrieking noise for a...
I dunno if anyone cares, but I'm gonna be one of the drivers at the 500 (!) lap Hornet enduro race tonight at 6PM at Evergreen speedway in the Monroe...
There is an XR2 Capri..getting cheaper every week at a local charity. It starts up fine and the turbo registers boost - The story on it - The last girl to own...
Well, I popped the J pipe off tonight and had a look. There is some side to side play but it did not look like it was able to touch the side although it was...
Here is the plan. I want to have a front mounted intercooler and a working, cold, air conditioning. The AC currently does not work because it needs to be...
... Just to update this topic: I don't know who is attending, but if you do: My place is available if you need to stay or maybe sober up. The kitchen's...
It looks like an ac condenser from a 95 honda civic may work out. It is only 15x12. We will see. I am going to go pull one off the shelf as a local parts...
Wish I had been driving the Miata this morning. I don't have much money invested in it. So this is what happened: Left the house just a hair later than I...
