Just wanna say Man you inspired me to get a foxbody. I know own a 1991 GT 5.0 fox body Really love the car. It’s coming out great. Nothing fancy tho just a project car. But love your videos man and hope to see more in the future.

[@BrotherTom]

Wow this is by far the best comment I've received from my videos! Very happy to hear the news. 1991 GT is a great choice!

Nate’s nice Capri:) Four Eyes

[@calvincooley1074]

ROH Snypers look great on any fox (I havr some on mine!) And I think they are rare as well! ASC spoiler looks great too! I've tried to imagine a non bubble hatch with a SALEEN wing on one of these.

[@ntd89c]

Calvin that’s EXACTLY what I wanted to do!

[@calvincooley1074]

@@ntd89c the upward sweep of the wing and the rearward down "slope" of the tailight area, in theory, seems like it could be a kool contrast.

[@calvincooley1074]

Getting Capri back on road after sitting 7 years. Sole owner

[@BrotherTom]

YES!!! Very cool!

[@mustangmike4078]

Back in the day my buddy put twin turbos then went to a single turbo on his 86 Capri. It was completely stock and it was fast as hell. But he was the type of guy to always have a new hobby so it never got the bugs sorted out of it. It was fast as hell though. Definitely over 400 hp, it blew the doors off my other buddies 91 mustang on the highway and it had H/C/I and custom burnt chip. Otherwise those 86's were dogs.

[@robertc1220]

Nice Mercury Capri she looks strong when you get into the throttle.No dyno tuners in my area wondering got a project oem 1990 5.0 except for a t moss ported lower comp cam xe264hr stage 1 putting a kenne bell supercharger 1.7 liter 2/58" pulley 7lb or 9lb boost 255lph fuel pump will 30lb injectors with pro-m mass air meter for 30 lb injectors work for this setup

[@ntd89c]

Robert C good question. If you’re retaining the stock eec-IV you’re going to need a chip and a tune for best results. If you have no tuning options some still do a fmu/btm ignition box but then you’re tuning on your own and that can be scary if you’re not experienced. Anytime I build anything for boost minimum 255 pump. Aeromotive FPR, 60lb injectors and a matching maf. Of course combinations like that get tuned on a dyno with a chip. Hands down right now the best bang for your dollar is a holley term x stand alone but that’s a whole other story

[@robertc1220]

@@ntd89c Thanks for the information trying to figure out what can be done at home no dyno tuners near where I live hard to find information kenne bell's instructions back in the day lean towards 30lb injectors stockish without dyno tune for the street with a dyno tune bigger injectors running the oem a9l think kenne bell has a chip probably get one of those any information would be appreciated Thanks

[@jpp9846]

Nice Capri, always liked the non-bubble models, I think ended in 82/83? Wow, he's got a really nice collection of Ponies in the stable 👍

[@BrotherTom]

Thank you very much for watching! I can’t wait to share the other cars in his collection 👍🏻

[@ntd89c]

I’m with you, I always liked the tails on the 79-82 cars with the flat hatch more. And thank you! It’s taken a long time and a lot of hard work to have these money pits!

[@amjrpain919]

N I C E D A I L Y D R I V E R!🤨👍 Did SALEEN ever do a stage I or II Capri RS?!...👋😎👍

[@6spd85notch]

Ask your friend if he bought that intake from a guy in New York. Looks like my old intake. If you get a chance of course. Nice car. I have a black 85 notch 347 6 speed. Carburetor car. Wheels fit the car nice.

[@BrotherTom]

Your car sounds pretty tough! Love the 4 eyes and who doesn't love a 347ci !!! I'll see if Nate can answer that question about the intake, but I'm pretty sure it was found locally then ported and externally polished locally as well.

[@ntd89c]

Sam I actually got this intake local from a guy who had it on a emerald green notch. Perhaps he got it from New York?

[@jordany7018]

Ahhh man. Bought my 1st car at 18 as well, but an 85 Capri RS 5spd sunroof car.

[@BrotherTom]

85 RS is a sweet ride! I thought I was the coolest kid cruising in my Mustang GT at 18!!! The good ole days haha! Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@jordany7018]

@@BrotherTom oh yea for sure. Frame ties, 4.10’s and a Hoosier ‘DOT’ on 10 holes put the hurt on many a unsuspecting man. Had most of the other basics too. Good times.

[@Memnoch67]

which was faster? the best foxbody mustang or the best FB Capri?

The Mercury Capri 5.0 is the next thing resembling the Ford Mustang 5.0. Twin like car to the Ford Mustang 5.0.
