loving the capri. makes me regret not keeping one of the many ive owned over the yrs good choice on the jps theme, a friends older brother had a jps 3.0S mk2 back in the day and it looked great. not sure if ive missed it or if it hasnt been mentioned - but is this gonna be road legal ? I've on my second E36 328i as a stopgap drifter now. Really liked the handling of my first one, but didn't find it as reliable or quick as my 24v Sierra drifter! m50b25 (325/525) inlet manifold unlocks a good power increase on a 328

Oh yes, it certainly will be road legal! I couldn't sink that much time and money into a car without just being able to take it out for a blast on the road whenever I wanted ;D One of the first things I got for it when the rebuild got started was a new set of plates! My latest 328i has the M50 inlet..... just a shame its having Vanos issues seen to at the moment though. Hopefully works out ok!

My e36 325i has had a headgasket failure since feb and vanos issues, but i just filled it with k seal. Done 6 events now with no coolant loss! I hear m50 inlet is a good upgrade for very little money.

I hear m50 inlet is a good upgrade for very little money. basically bmw detuned the 2.8 engine with a strangled inlet manifold due to a german insurance quirk, so it made good torque, but power was no higher than the 325. the earlier M50 inlet releases the extra power. circa 20bhp+ increases

You can never have enough pics of cars drifting. My e36 is also a turd, but that means i have more monies to spend on the SD1.

Wow that's some big time commitment going into this and some top drawer skills fella. I noticed in your sig about the '85 lhd escort, what's the story with that as it sounds interesting - sorry if its a bit off topic but escorts are ticking my boxes presently, ahem.....

Had it 12 years, eternal project. All sorts of goodies sitting for it like coilovers and a 300BHP newly build 2.0 ZVH..... but the Capri must come first!

Just gets better and better! Sorry if I missed it earlier in the thread but I'm guessing you'll be using this to compete in the BDC like you did with Jeeks old Sierra? This being up against all that JDM machinery makes me very excited (in a wrong way too )

Sierra - here we go again! He has an illness, it's not his fault.

Was going to get custom stuff made up, but the timescales were just too long. Some Y pieces on a cheap easily replaceable universal cooler appeals to me.... especially as I know I will bump it at some point!

I've also ordered a very special bodykit for the Capri with some full on 70s retro flavour. ETA is mid January for its arrival. Will look pretty much the same as these old racers, but I'll be running the Mk3 wings, bonnet and round lights instead.

Thought I had posted this before, but if not here's a mockup that was in Classic Ford a while back by Simon Coulson. Just imagine this with the group 2 arches now....
