@heathmeador Just bought mine today. Found a nice white and black one for $2000 with only 84k miles on it, and a load of options. Haven't gotten around to finding everything yet, but Ill do that this week. Love this car so far, loads of fun to drive. Quick question though...Do the brakes on yours have a big cushion? You have to press down pretty far before the brakes start catching. It's not any danger, just takes getting used to. Is it designed that way or do i just need to get mine checked?
@preshead sounds like u either had low pads or air in system. My pedal is real touchy. I work at a midas and we do free brake checks, just take it by some place like that tell them bout the pedal and see if they will look at it for free. But be carefull, if they say the pads are low make sure u go see for yourself before u buy anything. And if there not i would try bleeding the brakes to see if that helps if u can do that yourself.A brake flush is around 80-90 bucks at a shop.
@KaiX6 standards dont slip, the only thing that would go out on them would be synchronizers, bearings, or a chipped gear. and the clutch if you dont know how to drive. manuals can last forever. we have a truck with 270K and just last year we replaced to clutch for the first time.
@KaiX6 yes it is, all the xr2's are stick. right now it smokes. so over the next month im going to pull the head and pop out the pistons and rering them and rebuild the head. it should only take 2 saturdays to do then ill be crusing in style again 8)
that's exactly the question I was going to ask, I see that piece all the time in photos but I can't seem to find a seller on the internet, I'm converting a capri to electric and I'd like to put one of those on it, I'd really appretiate it if you shared your source with me. thanks and awesome job!

Very nice Capri, looks the same as my XR2. I have the same bubble top, is that a Kaminari top? Check also my video from my restyled Capri
