theres another option Josh, buy this escort, swap the running gear over between the two, and then sell the escort again. you would probably still get a bloody good price for the escort and bang, cheap turbo conversion for your capri. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... d=53942258

eeer, i thought they were the same thing....

awww, their some stylie rims there bro......

is it just the pic or are the two closest support bars on a different angle to the back two?

haha, yeah im gonna come and have a look, but i didnt realise its two days.... by selling your pinto you would get a fairly good chunk of your 7k tho...

perfect mod for autosalon josh.....

whoa Good price. Id buy it for that if I was after that power from a pinto. Abit cheaper than sr etc into car All done and know it runs well Downside is you dont learn it yourself. plus instant engine bay bling, that is a good looking set up...

I'd seriously rather bang a dude in the ass than rock 12 slots on anything other than a gtho that had them factory. fuck althogh for width, with white walls and moonies they could work, but some loser would want $1500 fo a set of 14x6s, which is no gain at all. if you just want wide rims, so you can stick moonies on them then find a set of 14x8 12 slots, that have lost the chrome, not worth a knob of goatshit. id be surprised if you had to pay more than $250-300... and i thought the gtho's had globes and 5 slots? meh, who cares.

12 slots....

lol, i always thought they were twin-cam.

the cars themselves are fucking hideous looking pieces.... seem to go ok, but yeah, definitly only good for a donor imo.

eeeerrrr, how does that change the capacity?

lol, yes the motors are cheap, everything else associated is not. my mate has one in a series 4 RX7, goes good when its going, but if the wind blows the wrong way something breaks, fart with too much weight on the left buttcheek something breaks... christ, ants stopped the fucker.... got into the coilpack made a nice home and totally destroyed any spark generating capacity... new price? near on $1000... afm (i think) died, new price? theres that 1K again. so yes, a good conversion but only if you have good hook ups on cheap holden parts. and thats not too hard, a lot of the parts are easily obtainable 2nd hand, but who wants to keep putting 2nd hand parts in their good car? oh and as much as you can claim its a buick, its really a holden, holden into ford is just plain wrong.

im surprised noones suggested a 13B turbo.... that would be mint.

i think XF falcon ones are a similar size too....

thats pretty much what i was thinking... too many people say "its just a honda i should beat it easy" but in reality its 160-170hp, in a lighter body with better gearing. id say you did bloody well staying with it till you ran out of gears... and its never cheap doing something thats a bit out of the ordinary dude. full credit, its a mint car.

starions and rwd sigma turbos...

hahaha umm... ok its ugly already I don't wana go and make it worse! I sorta see how it could work tho... but no! you try it could maybe adapt starion popups... same sorta shape, sort of. if you squint a bit.

lol, didnt take ya long to start messing round with cars dude, hows chch going? and a 4g63 would be killa in an ex, will be interesting to see progress.

lol, when i read your first post i thought the same as rt... you hand them a cheque and say just do what ya want... does look mint though dude... how about a V8 conversion now...

fuck that is mint... on a similar vein, anyone see the original green rx3 at the 4s n r's? almost as tidy as this one...

with your leads just grab one of a car you know runs well, and swap one at a time till you find a suspect one, then just replace that one. as you said, its just a daily so no point in throwing money at it. i doubt itl be a ht lead tho.

id still be inclined to say alternator fault, maybe an intermittant one? sounds like its not getting enough power to run everything, which is why it gets worse when you add an electrical drain to it. check all your earths, maybe a main power lead is sapping your power, ie between your alternator,coil, starter etc.

lol, why only the left?

you used to able to buy kits that were basically just a box that sat over the original window winder thingy,. were kinda fugly tho.
